Winter is coming, reminding everyone: the temperature is gradually dropping, and the cold winter has quietly arrived. For middle-aged and elderly people, it is especially important to protect their bodies. In order to welcome the arrival of the New Year, we should keep the following three points in mind: go out less, do less behaviors that are not good for your health, and eat less inappropriate food. These are all for us to live a healthy and happy New Year.
In the cold winter, the temperature has been dropping, and the impact on the body cannot be ignored. Especially in the winter months, the temperature is usually around 0, which can easily lead to cold, which can lead to various health problems. Therefore, when exercising outdoors during the winter months, we should choose the appropriate time. It is recommended that you do not go out before dawn to avoid suffering from the morning cold. If you want to do a morning workout, you can choose to do it at home or wait until the sun rises before going outside. This can effectively avoid the adverse effects of cold on the body.
The indoor environment also has a very big impact on the health of the body, especially in winter. Many people Xi closing doors and windows in the cold winter, thinking that this will better keep them warm. However, this practice is wrong. Indoor air tends to become dry due to prolonged use of heating equipment such as heating or air conditioning, which can lead to the occurrence of respiratory diseases. Therefore, we need to open the windows every hour for ventilation to ensure the circulation of fresh air. In addition, some people like to sleep with their heads wrapped in a quilt, which is unscientific. The air circulation inside the quilt is poor, resulting in the inability of fresh air to be replenished in time, which is easy to cause hypoxia. The correct way to do this is to leave your head out of the quilt to ensure that there is enough fresh air to breathe and ensure a good night's sleep.
Winter is a critical time for health care, and diet plays a crucial role in it. First of all, we should try to eat less pickles and porridge. Many middle-aged and elderly people are Xi to using pickles and porridge as staple foods for breakfast and dinner, believing that this is both comfortable and easy to digest. However, pickles and porridge are less nutritious and can lead to malnutrition and weakened immunity when consumed regularly. Therefore, we should eat more meat, vegetables and whole grains to supplement nutrition and promote health.
Secondly, eat less preserved products. In winter, pickled foods such as bacon and sausages began to be made in various places. These foods are delicious and easy to indulge in, especially middle-aged and elderly people. However, preserved products contain a lot of salt, which is a high-salt and high-oil food, and long-term consumption is not good for health. Therefore, we should consume it in moderation and avoid excessive consumption.
Finally, eat less vegetarian food. There is a saying that goes: "Fish makes fire, meat produces phlegm, and radish and cabbage keep peace". Many middle-aged and elderly people believe in this sentence and usually prefer to eat vegetarian. Especially in winter, radishes and cabbage are on the market, and many people eat them every day. Although radish and cabbage are rich in nutrients, they are nutritionally simple and lack essential nutrients such as protein and fat. In the long term, this can lead to weakened immunity and weakness. Therefore, we should eat more meat, soy products and edible mushrooms to supplement protein and fat and enhance immunity.
In addition to the above suggestions, I would also like to share a healthy and delicious recipe: shiitake mushroom roasted tofu in oil. This dish is delicious and nutritious. Prepare fried tofu, dried shiitake mushrooms, minced meat, broccoli, carrots, dried fungus, chives, ginger, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, cooking wine, starch, salt, and cooking oil.

Then, slice the carrots, break the broccoli into small florets, boil a pot of water, put the carrots and broccoli in the water and boil for 2 minutes, remove and drain in cool water and set aside. Then, stuff the minced meat into the fried tofu, then put it in a hot pan and fry it over low heat until golden brown on both sides, then add the shiitake mushrooms and stir-fry for a while, pour in the blanched carrots and broccoli and stir-fry evenly, pour in some light soy sauce and dark soy sauce and stir-fry to color, add an appropriate amount of salt, add half a bowl of water and cook for 5 minutes, and wait until the soup is dry.
