In winter, the incidence of many common diseases of the elderly is getting higher and higher. Experts suggest: The elderly need to prevent several common diseases in winter health care.

The first is to prevent stomach problems. Older people with stomach problems are most likely to relapse in the winter. Because the body is cold, the secretion of gastric acid increases, the gastro-intestinal tract constricts, causing gastric pain, stomach bleeding, and gastric perforation. Therefore, the elderly in winter should pay attention to keep the stomach warm, diet should be light, eat as much as possible, avoid acid, spicy and cold, but also quit smoking, and actively participate in sports as much as possible, try to avoid recurrence of stomach.

The second is antipruritic. Pruritus is a common disease in the elderly in winter. This is due to degenerative atrophy of the skin of the elderly, weakened sebaceous glands, decreased sebum secretion, coupled with the cold weather in winter, dry climate, resulting in older people's skin is more dry, sensitive to external stimuli, causing itchy skin. Therefore, the elderly should pay attention to diet, eat more fresh vegetables, fruits and soy products, fasting peppers, garlic and other spicy foods and fried, hot and other foods. The third is to prevent myocardial infarction.

Winter is the peak season for the onset of acute myocardial infarction in the elderly. It is mainly caused by cold stimulation of the human body, causing blood vessel contraction, increased blood fibrinogen, and increased blood viscosity, leading to thrombosis.

Therefore, the elderly need to attach importance to cold and warm, according to the weather changes, at any time to add clothing, shoes and hats, etc., in order to prevent cold pathogenic invasion. We must also conduct regular physical examinations of the cardiovascular system. Normally, some drugs should be used, such as thrombolysis, lipid-lowering, vasodilators, and anti-myocardial ischemia and hypoxia. The room temperature is preferably controlled between 18 degrees Celsius and 20 degrees Celsius, and relative humidity between 40% and 50%.
