1. Protect the temperature of the nose. In winter, the blood flow in the nasal cavity of the elderly becomes slow, which reduces the adhesion of the nasal cavity to various bacteria and its ability to increase the cold. If you are not careful, you may catch a cold or get infected with other diseases. Therefore, the elderly should wear masks and hats (wool hats) when going out in winter and do a few more massages at home every day to promote blood circulation in the nose.
2. Protect the temperature of the abdomen. In winter, the elderly should increase or decrease clothing in time according to changes in the weather. Pay attention to keeping warm and not letting your stomach catch a cold, so as not to cause gastrointestinal indigestion. Clothing should be made of soft, fluffy and warm fabrics, such as wool, silk cotton, down, new cotton, etc. It is recommended not to wear chemical fiber clothing, especially chemical fiber underwear, as it can easily irritate the skin and cause itching.
3. Protect the back. If the elderly do not pay attention to keeping warm on the back, then the cold evil can easily invade the body along the meridians on the back, resulting in damage to the yang energy, destroying the balance of yin and yang, resulting in a decrease in the body's resistance, and thus causing the disease to recur. Therefore, in winter, the elderly can add a tight cotton vest or sweater to their cotton jackets to strengthen the warmth of their backs.
4. Protect the temperature of the foot. As the saying goes, "cold comes from the soles of your feet." The feet are close to the heart, the blood supply is insufficient, and the heat insulation effect is not good. If your feet catch a cold, a nerve reaction will occur, causing blood vessels to contract, reduce blood circulation, and reduce the body's resistance, which will lead to the occurrence of diseases. Therefore, in winter, you should pay attention to keeping warm and dry, and wash and dry frequently. Take a few more steps in daily life, which can speed up blood circulation in your feet. It is best to rinse with warm water before going to bed to make your feet more comfortable, and then massage the feet for 10 minutes.
5. Stay warm in the room. In winter, the rooms where the elderly live should have air conditioners of 18-24℃ and 40-50℃ in Celsius, so as to effectively prevent the invasion of cold evil. It is necessary to ventilate regularly, and at least 30 minutes at a time. If you feel cold at night, you can use an electric blanket or hot water bag.
