In the last article we discussed the dangers of bed rest for older people, and here we will talk about the benefits of bed rest.
It is useful for children in the womb and for mothers themselves after a burn of their feet.
In the first case, everyone likes the regime, and in the second, on the contrary.
Let's not remember about hospitals, spinal fractures and people in intensive care. Those have no choice. Let's talk about young women who have a choice.
Let's start with pregnant women. In fact, bed rest is not as beneficial for them as previously thought.
It seemed that in case of any problems, you need to put the mother on the left side, and everything will work out right away. But in practice, it turned out that on average there is little sense. This does not particularly affect the number of premature births and various complications of pregnancy.
But the method fell in love with the pregnant women themselves, and many support it. Pregnancy has a peculiar effect on behavior and makes you slow down and freeze from time to time. And here they also specifically advise.
Placed on the left flank when a pregnant woman has so-called preeclampsia. This is a circulatory disorder in which blood pressure rises and the kidneys fail.
On the left side, the heart is in the most advantageous position, blood pressure is noticeably reduced and blood flow in the uterus improves. So this technique is still relevant today.
The second story will be about bed rest for mothers with burns on their feet.
Their children are usually already grown up. Mothers run, bustle about the house and in this turmoil from time to time they knock over a saucepan of boiling water on their feet.
In most cases, such a burn heals normally, but there are very strange limitations.
They were found by the Australians. They have grass burning all the time in Australia. It is literally a natural phenomenon, when half a continent burns out in a certain season. This is normal, but sometimes people's legs burn along with the grass.
And when they began to treat burns of the feet, it turned out that such patients need to lie in strict bed rest for a week. That is, even without going to the toilet on foot.
From this, the legs healed almost three times faster.
It is clear that the hardest thing was for young mothers who need to take care of their children. I had to by hook or by crook keep them in bed. That is, the completely opposite situation: it is very useful for them, and they jump up.
These are the stories. Have you tried to lie down for a week?
