First, keep the appropriate indoor temperature.
Maintaining an appropriate indoor temperature will not only make the elderly at home feel comfortable and stable, but also help the body to carry out metabolism and prevent diseases. The suitable indoor temperature is 18-20℃
Second, it is best to have a humidifier at home.
The air is too humid and the evaporation of the human body is weak, which will inhibit sweating, especially for the elderly with cardiac insufficiency. When the air is too dry, the human body will evaporate a lot of water, causing discomfort such as dry skin, dry mouth and sore throat. If there are elderly people with respiratory diseases at home, they should pay special attention. Air drying makes respiratory mucosa dry, and sputum is not easy to cough up, thus increasing the chance of lung infection.
Therefore, a humidifier must be prepared at home, and it would be better if there is atomization equipment.
Third, arrange a quiet, ventilated and well-lit room.
Sleep is very important. Quiet and ventilated environment can not only ensure the circulation of fresh air indoors, but also have no noise interference. Old people at home will feel comfortable if they sleep well.
Fourth, exercise is very important.
With the change of weather, many elderly people suffer from chronic diseases. When it is cold in autumn and winter, they don't want to exercise. They always stay at home and feel warmer at home, but they don't know that more exercise is an effective way to regulate their bodies.
If your blood pressure is high and your blood sugar or blood lipid is unstable, you should choose appropriate exercise according to your physical condition. During exercise, your metabolism will be accelerated, and your circulation will be kept good, so that you can provide blood to the needed parts.
Of course, exercise generates more heat, which can keep the whole body warm. People with high blood pressure will find vasodilation after exercise, and the situation of high blood pressure will improve. Exercise consumes calories, blood is sticky and blood sugar is high, which is the correct health care method.
Five, control diet, it is best to do a light diet.
Many people don't eat properly. When the weather is cold in autumn and winter, they think that eating more nourishing food can safely spend the winter, but they don't know that it is easy to have more fat, more cholesterol and higher uric acid index, which may induce gout. These incorrect behaviors need to be corrected.
Even if winter comes, the diet should be light and refuse to be greasy. In addition, don't eat too much high-calorie food, and at the same time avoid eating too much. The quality of nutrients needed by human body is sufficient, and overeating is not allowed to control many indexes and stabilize weight.
Sixth, pay attention to the mood of the elderly and keep them happy. A comfortable mood is better than countless drugs.
