First, eat more red meat, which is warm and powerful.
The biggest problem in winter is that the temperature is too low and the old people will feel cold. If the elderly are weak, lack of firepower, and the temperature drops slightly, they can't stand it. They keep shaking and swishing, so they can only wear more clothes. In fact, in addition to keeping warm from the outside, you can also start from the inside. There is fire in the body, which can naturally resist the cold outside. Red meat is very helpful to improve human firepower. Eating more red meat will make the elderly more powerful and full of firepower. We usually eat red meat, such as beef and mutton. These ingredients are easily available. Everyone knows that drinking a bowl of mutton soup in winter will keep you warm, which is the reason. Therefore, the elderly can drink more mutton soup and eat mutton and beef hotpot. When you are warm, you are naturally not afraid of the cold and are not easy to get sick.
Second, drink some ginseng tea to invigorate qi and strengthen the body.
In winter, the elderly can drink ginseng tea, which can invigorate qi and strengthen the body. There are many kinds of ginseng tea in the market, such as American ginseng, ginseng and so on. Before drinking tea, you should choose different kinds of ginseng tea according to your personal physique. For example, American ginseng is cold, and elderly people with cold body should not drink more American ginseng. Ginseng is a tonic, and it is easy to get angry if you eat too much, so you can't eat too much. Besides making tea, you can also put ginseng in chicken soup, which is warm and healthy and very suitable for winter consumption. But the elderly should pay attention to consumption whether they drink ginseng tea or chicken soup. Appropriate amount is a big tonic, and excessive amount is harmful.
Third, drink more milk to strengthen bones.
With the growth of age, the bones of the human body become more and more fragile, especially the elderly, who are particularly prone to fracture if they accidentally fall. It is very cold in winter. If you accidentally slip on the ice, you are likely to break in bed. Therefore, the elderly must remember to supplement calcium to the bones. Milk is the most common calcium supplement food, which not only contains a lot of calcium, but also contains a variety of nutrients. Supplementing nutrition when supplementing calcium is the biggest advantage of milk. Of course, milk is not only suitable for drinking in winter, but also for the elderly all year round. But drinking milk will vary from person to person, because some people are lactose intolerant and can't drink milk, so they can only supplement calcium through other channels.
Fourth, eat honey to prevent diseases.
Old people can drink some honey water in winter. The weather is dry in winter, especially for the elderly who stay in air-conditioned rooms, and their throats are often dry. Honey water can moisten the throat and prevent cough. Secondly, drinking honey water regularly can also relax the bowels and prevent constipation. But honey has a high sugar content, so you must pay attention to the right amount when eating. Especially for patients with hyperglycemia or diabetes, never eat honey, because hyperglycemia can be life-threatening.
