The climate in winter is relatively dry, and most people will have skin problems to some extent. If the skin itself is sensitive, the situation will be more serious, such as itchy skin, chronic eczema, chapped skin and so on. For the elderly, physical resistance itself is relatively poor, and skin problems are more likely to occur.

Don't wait until you are thirsty to replenish water in winter, and don't say that you have drunk several cups in a short time. You should take a sip of water step by step, and drink no more than 300 ml each time, so as to replenish water to the body without increasing the workload of the kidneys.

Second, keep warm.

The climate is cold in winter, and the most important thing for health preservation is to keep warm. Cold weather can easily lead to joint pain, induce cervical spondylosis, and blood vessels are also attached to the phenomenon of thermal expansion and cold contraction, which leads to high incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in winter. We must do a good job of keeping warm. When doing warm-keeping work, we must pay attention to protecting the shoulders and feet that are seriously injured by cold. For the elderly, we should not neglect ventilation while keeping warm.

Third, go to bed early and get up late.

Man and nature are a whole, and the human body needs to adapt to the changes of nature and arrange its life time reasonably according to the changes of the four seasons. When the sun rises, the nerves of the human body begin to get excited, so don't stay in bed at this time. There is also a reason why the days are short and the nights are long in winter. In terms of health care, we should also follow the principle of winter storage and extend the sleep time appropriately. At this time, we should form the sleep habit of going to bed early and getting up late. For the elderly with weak yang, it is best to wait until the sun comes out, otherwise it may cause colds, coughs and even angina pectoris.

Fourth, the diet should be warmed up more.

In winter, the climate itself is relatively cold, so we should choose more warm foods to improve our diet, so as to promote blood circulation, dredge meridians and achieve the effect of keeping out the cold, while red foods can achieve the effect of warming up and promoting metabolism. Foods suitable for eating in winter with certain calories are mutton, beef, pumpkin and so on. When making, onion, ginger and garlic can be properly added, and women can eat more medlar and red dates in their daily lives, which can also achieve the effect of keeping out the cold.
