       elderly They are a group with a high incidence of stroke. To prevent stroke in the elderly, in addition to developing good eating and living habits, we must also actively exercise , what can exercise do to prevent stroke?

      Shoulder exercise: Put your hands on both sides of the shoulders, palms facing down. Rotate the shoulders from back to front 10 times, and then from front to back 10 times. Then do repeated movements of raising and lowering the shoulders. Try to make the muscles feel tight each time you shrug, and try to relax the muscles when relaxing.

      Draw circles with both feet: Moving the ankle joints can not only dredge the relevant meridians, but also stimulate the acupoints around the joints, which can balance yin and yang and reconcile qi and blood. Moving your hands and feet can also relax your muscles and activate your blood circulation, reducing the risk of stroke.

      Rub and massage the neck: After rubbing and heating your hands, massage both sides of the neck to skin Fever and redness are appropriate. Then place the fingers of both hands behind your head and rub it back and forth until it becomes warm. Then, you can cooperate with some head turning activities. When bending your head forward, your neck should be stretched forward as much as possible. When turning left and right, the amplitude should not be too large. Just do 30 cycles. ; Or you can stand in a standing position with your hands close to both sides of your thighs and your lower limbs still. When your head turns to the left, rotate your upper body to the right. When your head turns to the right, rotate your upper body to the left. Do this 10 times in total. Then without moving your body, turn your head to the left and lean back as much as possible. Look at the upper left side for 5 seconds. After recovering, change the direction.
