In the scorching summer, various electric fans and air conditioners have become people's pets. However, for the elderly, it is still better to use traditional fans because there are many benefits to using a fan for cooling off.
Enjoyment and Forgetfulness On hot summer days, holding a fan in hand allows the elderly to control the speed and strength of the breeze based on their own physical condition, avoiding the discomfort caused by high-speed and strong airflow from electric fans. Fan waving is a good exercise for the arms and wrists, which can promote blood circulation and activate muscles and tendons. Waving a fan while cooling off, chatting, discussing the past and present, is a great pleasure in the life of the elderly.
Prevention and Treatment of Frozen Shoulder Frozen shoulder brings pain to many elderly people, and the clinical treatment effect is not ideal. In recent years, medical workers have found that elderly people who insist on using a fan in summer can effectively promote blood circulation in shoulder joints and surrounding tissues, improve the function of muscles and tendons, and achieve good results in treating "frozen shoulder" during the summer.
Prevention of Cerebral Hemorrhage Waving a fan is a unilateral limb movement that not only exercises muscles and skeletal tissues but also effectively enhances the vitality of brain cells, improves the contraction and relaxation function of cerebral blood vessels, and reduces the occurrence of cerebral hemorrhage and other cerebrovascular diseases. Medical experts recommend that patients with cardiovascular diseases should use their left hand more often because the blood vessels in the right hemisphere of the brain, which controls the activity of the left half of the body, are more fragile. They have found that 60% of cerebral hemorrhages occur in the right hemisphere.
Add Beauty to Life Whether it is a summer night with moonlight as clear as water, a park full of blooming flowers, or a poetic and picturesque balcony or courtyard, waving a small fan to cool off, repel mosquitoes, chase flies, and dust off adds a touch of elegance. It brings a sense of relaxation and joy. The annoyance and sultriness of summer are swept away. Writing poems, painting, and inscribing on a small fan can enrich emotions, beautify life, and arouse people's love for life and the environment.
