Second, avoid too much Sun Long exposure, which will damage the skin, destroy the natural barrier of the human body, make harmful chemicals and microorganisms in the atmosphere invade the human body, cause infection, and also cause vision loss.

Three don't take a bath for too long. The air is dry and cold in winter. Many elderly people have dry and itchy skin, which is mistaken for impurity. So they take a bath once a day. As a result, the more they wash their skin, the drier it is and the more dandruff it is. In fact, it is most appropriate for the elderly to take a bath every 5 or 6 days in winter.

Four bogeys: excessive exercise. Proper physical exercise is an important means to keep fit, prevent diseases and resist aging. However, the elderly should not do strenuous exercise. They should choose proper sports, such as jogging, cycling and playing Tai Ji Chuan. If you feel dizzy, headache, limb fatigue, chest tightness, shortness of breath, insomnia and dreaminess after exercise, it means that you have too much exercise, so you should pay attention to reducing the amount of exercise or even stopping exercising temporarily.

Six monsters sleep with their heads covered. Some old people like to sleep with their heads covered in winter, thinking that it can be warmer. However, in this way, the oxygen content in the bed will gradually decrease, while the exhaust gas such as carbon dioxide will gradually increase, which will affect the normal respiratory movement and even cause suffocation, or cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases due to lack of oxygen. Therefore, the correct sleeping posture is: right side position, low pillow, head exposed, legs flexed and stretched.

Seven avoid smoking and drinking good wine. In winter, old people like to chat and watch TV while smoking. Because the doors are closed in winter, smoke is not easy to spread outside, which is very harmful to human body. Long-term smoke accumulation has a greater impact on the human body. Some elderly people like to drink to keep out the cold, often addicted to drinking and often get drunk. Due to the large temperature difference between indoor and outdoor in winter, the body is weak after drinking, and the exogenous cold evil invades, and the cold and heat are mixed, which causes damage to the heart, brain and lungs.

Eight taboos "minor illness" is not cured. If the elderly encounter "minor illnesses" such as colds, coughs, headaches and palpitations, it is in winter, so they must be treated in time to prevent problems before they happen.
