Are there any other taboos?

1. Prevent stomach problems
The weather is extremely cold during the Lesser Cold, with cold winds blowing hard and chilly, which can cause great irritation to the stomach and easily lead to gastrointestinal cramps. Elderly people with stomach problems are more likely to suffer a relapse of old diseases, or even cause more serious stomach diseases such as gastric bleeding and gastric perforation. Therefore, during the Lesser Cold season, you should pay attention to keeping your stomach warm, choose warm and easily digestible foods, try not to eat raw or cold foods, and reduce the chance of stomach problems.
2. Prevent colds in cold seasons
The cold itself is a disease that is common in winter. Many people think that it is not a big problem. However, for people whose body resistance to disease is weak, if they catch a cold and do not treat it in time, it can easily cause more serious complications, such as pneumonia, asthma, chronic bronchitis, etc. Therefore, during the Lesser Cold season, you should pay attention to keeping warm and preventing colds. You can soak your feet in hot water every night to enhance your resistance to disease and prevent colds.
3. Elderly people need to prevent stroke
It is reported that more than 70% of stroke patients occur in winter, so more attention should be paid during the Minor Cold season. When the weather is cold, the human body is stimulated by the cold and the capillaries throughout the body contract. The peripheral resistance of blood circulation increases, which can easily cause high blood pressure, lead to thrombosis, and eventually cause a stroke. During the Lesser Cold season, elderly people suffering from hypertension and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases must pay attention to their physical health. If they find symptoms such as dizziness, headache, limb numbness, etc., they should seek medical attention in time.
4. Need to prevent heart disease
Winter is the season with a high incidence of heart disease. In cold areas, for every 1 degree drop in temperature, the mortality rate from cardiovascular disease increases by 1%. When the weather is cold, the heart works harder to maintain body heat, and the heart's workload increases. Therefore, in winter, we should pay attention to nourishing our heart, keep a calm mind, and pay attention to regulating our emotions. An optimistic mood can promote the smooth flow of qi and blood in the body and ensure the normal function of the internal organs.
