The twelfth lunar month is the coldest season in the north and south, and the elderly are prone to sudden illness due to cold, such as freezing hands and feet, or being attacked by colds and flu, causing other unpredictable diseases.
Second, there are chronic diseases for a long time, and the condition is aggravated in winter.
With the growth of people's age, there will be some minor problems in the body. Some of these problems come from overwork in youth, and some come from the development of chronic diseases. It is said that many old people fall asleep unconsciously without too many signs when they sleep in the cold winter night. Most of the reasons for this situation are also because of the change of weather, which suddenly aggravated the mild symptoms of chronic diseases, leading to the elderly who have suffered from chronic diseases for a long time leaving first, and it is difficult to survive the cold winter.
Third, there is no ventilation indoors in winter, and the virus is easy to spread.
In winter, the immunity of the elderly themselves is in a state of decline. If there are other people around who suffer from an epidemic disease, they are easily infected. For example, influenza and pneumonia are the causes of this disease. Therefore, young people pay more attention to the physical changes of the elderly and take appropriate preventive measures, which is also an important aspect to prevent the elderly from getting sick or even dying in winter.

Fourth, the amount of exercise in winter is reduced and the blood circulation is not smooth.
As the saying goes, life lies in exercise. For the elderly, proper exercise is good for health. Winter exercise for the elderly can accelerate blood circulation and prevent the sudden attack and aggravation of vascular related diseases. In the cold winter, many old people died of diseases such as myocardial infarction and cerebral thrombosis. If you are not careful, you may not survive this winter.
Fifth, the icy road is slippery, and the elderly are prone to wrestling.
In the north, it is freezing in winter. When the temperature is tens of degrees below zero, the road surface will be very slippery because of ice and snow. If no one takes care of the weak old man, he will fall down carelessly, resulting in a fracture or a broken rib. Once the elderly are weak, coupled with poor physical resistance and cold weather, these accidents are undoubtedly worse for the elderly. If there are other chronic diseases, it will lead to frequent complications, leading to a vicious circle of physical condition of the elderly, from hospitalization to unfortunate death.
In any case, winter is the season that poses the greatest threat to the life of the elderly in the four-year cycle. As a rural family, because of the influence of medical conditions and traffic conditions, when the elderly are in crisis, they even have no time to rescue them. Therefore, the best way is for young people to strengthen their awareness of prevention, protect the elderly at home and let them "spend the winter" smoothly.
