PASSING THE WINTER
AND
NURTURING HEALTH
FOR
THE
ELDERLY
The coming of winter
sees
more
respiratory
diseases,
e.9.,
chronic
bronchitis, emphysema,
asthma, etc., let alone
coughs
and
colds,
as
well as
influenzas
that predispose to
pneumonias.
Even
anginas
and
coronaries are
more
frequent. The
elderly
should be particularly careful
to
nurture
their
health in
winter.
Thke
care
of
the elderly
skin - not
only there is
reduced
fat
under-
neath their skin
but
also subopti-
mal metabolism, resulting
in
poor
adaptation to cold and
reduced
resistance to diseases. Even
in
mild winters,
skin
itches due to
dryness; in severe winters,
be-
ware
of
frost
bites. Take
well-bal-
anced
food
regularly, with
ad-
equate
calories and
protein.
Avoid cold
food
and
too
spicy or
oily
food. Avoid
emotional
imbalances;
maintain a cheerful
attitude;
have adequate sleep.
Keep
reasonable indoor ventila-
tion
even
in
winter;
maintain room
temperature
at 18-25'C.
Have
regular, daily physical exercises;
with cold weather, bathing every
5-6 days suffices. Abstain from
smoking; in winter, drinking may
result in excessive loss of body
warmth
to
the cold; avoid
pro-
longed outdoor activities. Of note,
report any symptoms promptly,
especially
in
winter.
