What are the main points of health care for the elderly? What should I do?
Autumn and winter are good seasons for health preservation. In autumn and winter, many diseases of the elderly will recur and need the careful care of their children. Besides paying attention to health, we should pay more attention to the diet and emotional problems of the elderly.

Because of the weakness of the five internal organs, the elderly have a bad stomach. If they often eat raw and cold food, eating without restraint will definitely hurt their stomachs and get sick. In winter, the elderly should eat less and eat more cooked, soft, digestible and appetizing things. The weather is dry in winter, and in the choice of food, we should give priority to things that moisten dryness, nourish lungs and produce fluid. In general, it is best to choose some digestible pasta for breakfast, such as steamed bread and flower rolls. You can choose noodles and rice for lunch; It is best to eat some low-calorie potatoes, sweet potatoes and other foods for dinner. These foods contain a lot of dietary fiber, which promotes peristalsis between the stomach and intestines and is conducive to smooth defecation the next day.

In autumn and winter, the elderly are prone to negative emotions of pessimism and sadness. In addition to physical health, the elderly should also pay attention to mental health care. They can choose appropriate cultural and recreational activities such as playing chess, painting and calligraphy, planting flowers and grass, square dancing, etc., so as to enjoy their body and mind, cultivate their sentiments and spend their old age safely. In winter, the temperature is low, so it is easy to catch cold, and the resistance and adaptability of the elderly are reduced. In order to resist colds, respiratory infections, pneumonia and other diseases, we should pay attention to keep warm, improve our ability to keep out the cold and prevent colds.

As the saying goes, if there are old people in the family, it is the greatest blessing for children to live a long and healthy life. The elderly should ensure adequate sleep, reasonable diet, exercise, keep a happy mood, be happy and live a healthy life every day.
