When I go to work in the morning in winter, I see old men and women coming back from morning exercises. They are all radiant and energetic, as if they were not bothered by the cold. Therefore, life lies in exercise. Using exercise to keep out the cold in winter not only consumes sugar and fat to generate heat in a short time, but also promotes the work of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, promotes blood circulation, improves physical fitness, and is conducive to health and cold prevention.
2. Quilts and clothes need to be changed frequently.
Many elderly people don't want to bother their children because of their own mobility, which makes it difficult to change bedding frequently, and the nodules of bedding become hard, which leads to poor warmth retention effect. Washing clothes often can also enhance the effect of keeping warm. Because many old people don't change clothes often, they still don't keep warm after wearing thick clothes, which requires their children to pay more attention to the elderly and change bedding and clothes for them.
3, pay attention to the room ventilation
In winter, old people often use heating equipment to keep warm. Whether it is traditional heating, electric blanket or air conditioner or heater, the indoor air will become turbid and dry. Old people are thrifty, thinking that closing doors and windows at home in winter can reduce heat loss, but indoor air is not circulating, turbid bacteria breed, and old people are more likely to get sick and their ability to keep out the cold is reduced.
4. Use foods with low fat, low sugar and high calorie.
Old people's feeling cold in winter is not unrelated to their diet. Many elderly people have a bad appetite, it is difficult to enjoy meat, and their diet is mostly light. Such low-calorie food can't provide enough heat for the elderly to keep out the cold in winter. Therefore, it is suggested that the elderly can eat more high-calorie foods, but because many elderly people suffer from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases or diabetes, they still focus on low-fat and low-sugar foods.
5, pay attention to the key parts to keep warm
When going out, direct contact between human skin and the biting cold wind is the most unbearable. Moreover, many elderly people suffer from diseases such as rheumatism, and key joints, intestines and stomach cannot be blown by cold air. Therefore, in the process of daily warmth, we must pay attention to the warmth of key parts, and we must not let some old problems become more serious in winter.
6. Sunbathing in winter is essential.
Since ancient times, people in China have paid attention to health preservation, and some traditional health preservation methods have also been integrated into our lives. For example, the elderly generally like and are willing to sunbathe in winter. Although this may be a seasonal habit of human beings, it also shows from another side that sunbathing in winter is really effective for the elderly.
