Matters needing attention in caring for the elderly in winter:
1, sunny, cold winter always makes people feel depressed, lack of sunshine and warmth, rainy weather, so the elderly often feel worse. It is generally suggested that the elderly should seize the opportunity of sunbathing in the cold winter, but it is usually cold in the sunny morning. Therefore, it is suggested that they wear more clothes in the morning. In the process of receiving direct sunlight, they can take off some thinner coats appropriately, but don't take off too much at a time, otherwise it will easily cause a cold.
2, appropriate outdoor activities, many elderly people like to stay at home, although the air outside is much better than the air at home, but it is still inevitable, a little colder than at home, so most elderly people do not want to go outside in the weather without the sun. At this time, young people at home should encourage old people to go out for a walk more. Breathing fresh air can also exercise their bones and muscles, which will inhibit the atrophy of limb function and improve some health conditions. If the elderly can have their own friends in the community, chatting or walking together is also very beneficial to their health.
3, pay attention to a reasonable diet, some elderly people have already exceeded the normal range, and the cold winter will always make us involuntarily earn a lot of high-fat, high-calorie food, which may aggravate obesity and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. If the elderly themselves have "three high" diseases, they may be aggravated by a high-calorie diet. Therefore, it is suggested that the elderly should eat more vegetables and fruits in the cold winter, such as eating some white radish and wax gourd appropriately.
In the cold winter, the elderly will find it difficult. In fact, we should pay attention to and adjust from all aspects of life. The cold winter will also make you feel very warm and let you feel the beauty of this season. Of course, we still have to do a good job in health care.
