Why does the old man's room always smell bad?

I wrote an article about the smell of old people two days ago. After seeing many friends' messages, you can read some excerpts.

237489090: Bian Xiao is really considerate of the elderly. Especially in summer, I can feel it from far away. I am very helpless. I said too much. Old people are boring. Don't talk about it. I am very helpless. Alas, it is difficult for the elderly. Who can take care of their old people?

Mom 140038749: Sitting on the bus leading to the outer suburbs, you must watch the old people go away, even in winter, the smell is very bad.

Le Meizheng: Washing every day is also delicious. It is impossible to wash every day in winter. It's freezing.

Mobile phone user 55 168 160304: I live with an old man. The old man is 87 years old and has a considerable body odor. I don't know the cause of body odor. Thank you for your advice.

Twilight senior: That's true. My old lady is 72 years old, and she smells. I want to give her a bath. She said I was blind and clean.

U150341619: No wonder there is an unpleasant smell when there are old people on the bus (the bus is air-conditioned).

In life, sometimes we really smell the old people. Don't say you haven't had such an experience. Is it a strange feeling to swim past the old man in the swimming pool? Get close to the old man in the elevator and subway. Do you want to get to the station quickly? In fact, many people have this experience. Approaching some elderly people, you can smell a very special smell, which some people call "the smell of the elderly". This smell is usually not felt by the elderly themselves, but only by outsiders. What is "the smell of old people"?

In the middle-aged and elderly stage, both men and women have very obvious and unpleasant body odor changes, so it is called "old-age smell". Japan even created a word for this smell change of middle-aged and elderly people, which is called "aging smell".

Why is there such an "aging smell"?

Because the human body starts from the age of 25, its antioxidant capacity declines. With the increase of age, the antioxidant capacity weakens, and the change is more obvious after 30 years old. As a result, the proportion of active oxygen in human body increases, and the aging substance palmitoleic acid gradually increases. However, reactive oxygen species and palmitoleic acid attract each other. They are oxidized together, then decomposed by bacteria, and finally produce "2- nonenal", a substance that mixes the taste of fat and weeds.

Therefore, the odor of many elderly people's rooms is actually caused by the long-term body odor of the elderly. Some old people's rooms will be inaccessible, and those who stay in bed for a long time will be more serious. In fact, this unpleasant smell is equivalent to harmful gas, which is not only harmful to the health environment of the whole family, especially to infants, but also further affects the health of the elderly.

1, personal hygiene

The smell of the elderly is mainly emitted from places where sebaceous glands are concentrated, such as the neck, behind the ears, chest and armpits, and Japanese studies have also found that the smell of the elderly is most obvious on the top of the head and the back of the head. People who have not experienced this phenomenon may really not know that this part is really serious.

Old people's underwear is also easy to deposit dead skin, so it must be replaced after bathing. For the elderly with poor self-care ability, they need the care and help of their families and caregivers.

2, body care

There is also an important source of the smell of the elderly, which is emitted through the respiratory system. If it's an oral problem, besides brushing your teeth, you can also use mouthwash for the elderly. If it is not an oral problem or the odor is very serious except for oral problems, it is generally a physical lesion.

When there is obvious body odor, you should seek medical attention in time to find the basic disease. If it is caused by a chronic disease, they should treat the original one first. Patients with diabetes should also be actively treated, and controlling the disease will reduce the smell.

The root of many diseases is often the circulatory system. When people get old, circulatory metabolism tends to become slow. Exercise can promote the optimization of circulatory system.

Some old people exude a strong smell of old people, indicating that the family air environment has not been handled well. Many young people can't accept the smell of the elderly at home, especially those who are sensitive to smell, such as pregnant women.

This air freshener is the most advanced technology in the world at present, which was developed and produced in China. I won't say the specific name, or someone will say that I am advertising here. My previous article has a special introduction, so you can pay attention to me. No matter how serious the odor of the elderly is, including the urine smell in the elderly room, it can be removed in two days.

There is also a certain relationship between the taste and diet of the elderly. The diet of the elderly should be as light as possible, eat more fruits and vegetables and eat less meat. Because meat will oxidize body fat and aggravate odor. Usually eat more foods rich in vitamins and antioxidants, such as ginger, garlic, nuts, soybeans and so on. Eat less food that produces grease such as lard and cream. Drinking scented tea often is also a good idea.
