Therefore, it is essential for the elderly to wear a suitable hat in winter, especially when going out.
keep warm
In winter, the elderly should add clothes in time with the change of external temperature, pay attention to keep warm, and don't let the cold invade the body. Elastic belt should be used as underwear belt, which is convenient to put on and take off and should not be tightly wrapped around the body; Wool, silk cotton, down, acrylic cotton and other light, fluffy and warm-keeping materials should be used as the lining of cotton-padded clothes; The collar and cuffs of clothing should adopt closed structure to reduce breathability and increase warmth.

Keep your back warm
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "the back is the yang in the yang" and "the sea of yang veins" are the backbone of the circulation of du meridian, and du meridian is the yang. If the elderly can't keep their backs warm, pathogenic wind and cold will invade the human body through the back meridians, damaging the yang, destroying the balance of yin and yang, reducing the immune function of the human body and weakening the disease resistance, resulting in the recurrence or aggravation of old diseases. Therefore, it is necessary for the elderly to wear a cotton vest or wool vest to keep their backs warm in winter.
Keep your feet warm
As the saying goes, "Cold starts from the feet". Foot yin to head, less yang. Once the feet catch cold, it will cause vasoconstriction of the upper respiratory tract mucosa through nerve reflex, reduce blood volume and disease resistance, and make viruses and bacteria hidden in the nasopharynx multiply in large quantities, which will make people catch a cold or relapse old diseases, such as asthma, tracheitis, gastroenteropathy, arthritis, lumbago and leg pain, dysmenorrhea, etc. Therefore, in winter, the elderly should keep their shoes and socks warm and dry, and wash them frequently.

Massage the soles of feet with warm water 10 minutes before going to bed, and massage Yongquan point (sole) to increase blood circulation and dredge meridians, which is beneficial to fitness and longevity.
