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, doors and windows are closed, and 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. When it is sunny, doors and windows should be opened 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 you can. This is of great benefit to strengthening physique, preventing diseases and protecting health. The items and intensity of exercise can vary from person to person. Choose them reasonably and step by step, and try to do some systemic exercises as much as possible, such as playing Tai Ji Chuan, jogging and doing exercises.
Fifth, pay attention to keep warm. Because the main organs of the elderly are aging, 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 colds, bronchitis, cor pulmonale, emphysema and asthma. Therefore, the clothes of the elderly in winter should be soft, light, close-fitting and warm.
