Old people are the treasures that need to be taken care of in the family, which is not much different from treating children. It is very important to maintain the health of the elderly as much as possible. The cold winter is a great test for the elderly, so some corresponding preventive measures should be taken. What are the precautions for the elderly in winter?

First, prevent the onset. Winter climate induces slow recurrence or deterioration. Cold also stimulates the occurrence of myocardial infarction and stroke, which increases blood pressure and aggravates symptoms such as ulcers, rheumatism and glaucoma. Therefore, we should pay attention to cold and warmth in winter, especially to prevent the adverse stimulation of strong winds and cool weather to the body, and prepare first-aid drugs. At the same time, we should also pay attention to cold-resistant exercise to improve the ability to keep out cold and disease.

Second, humidity generally refers to the content of water in the air. The air humidity is high, and the evaporation of human body is weak, which inhibits sweating and makes people feel humid and sultry, and the elderly with cardiac insufficiency will feel suffocated. Because the evaporation of skin and breathing water decreases, the amount of urination increases, which increases the burden on the kidneys. When the air is too dry, the human body will evaporate a lot of water, causing discomfort such as dry skin, dry mouth and sore throat.

Third, winter health drink hot porridge in the morning, diet and nourish the stomach at dinner. Especially glutinous rice and red date porridge, eight-treasure porridge and millet porridge are all suitable. You can also eat longan porridge, sesame porridge, radish porridge, walnut porridge, jujube porridge, chrysanthemum porridge and crucian porridge.

Fourth, respiratory care Because paralyzed patients need to stay in bed for a long time, the lying body makes the respiratory tract sputum difficult to cough up, which is prone to accumulation pneumonia. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen this aspect of nursing. The first is to turn over regularly, so that paralyzed patients can change their positions, activate the respiratory tract, and let the elderly cough up phlegm accumulated in the respiratory tract. When winter comes, the temperature drops, and paralyzed old people stay in bed, it is easy to be afraid of cold and cold, so pay attention to keep warm to avoid colds aggravating breathing difficulties.
