Second, pay attention to mental health. Winter is a closed season, and the occurrence, development and deterioration of many diseases are closely related to people's psychological state. Therefore, the elderly should avoid the stimulation of bad factors such as sadness, anxiety and tension, and remain optimistic, open-minded and cheerful.
Third, improve the living environment. In winter, the doors and windows are closed, and the indoor air is dry and dirty, which is easy to cause respiratory diseases. Therefore, while controlling the indoor temperature, attention should be paid to indoor air circulation and temperature adjustment. On sunny days, open the doors and windows for ventilation to keep the air fresh and sunny.
Fourth, do physical exercise. Don't stay indoors all day in winter, and exercise every day if possible. This is of great benefit to strengthening physique, preventing diseases and protecting health. The events and intensity of exercise can vary from person to person. Choose reasonably, step by step, and try to do some whole-body exercises, such as playing Tai Ji Chuan, jogging and doing exercises.
Fifth, keep warm. Due to the aging of the main organs of the elderly, their functions are weakened and their adaptability is poor. When the cold wave strikes, the incidence of hypertension and stroke increases, and cardiovascular patients are prone to angina pectoris, myocardial infarction and heart failure. Cold is also an important cause of cold, bronchitis, cor pulmonale, emphysema and asthma. Therefore, the winter clothes of the elderly should be soft, light, close-fitting and warm.
