Doctors advise elderly to avoid cold

Doctors advise elderly to avoid cold

Doctors are saying that older people should be careful in the cold weather.

They should not go outside early in the morning or late in the evening.

It's better to go out when the sun is shining.

They should also do some light exercises to keep their muscles flexible and avoid feeling stiff.

This can help them not fall and get hurt.

The cold weather can make older people feel colder because their skin is thinner and they have less fat.

Doctors also say that older people should cover their heads when they go outside because they lose more hair as they get older.

This can help keep them warm.

Many older people are going to the hospital with problems like heart failure and breathing issues because of the cold.

Doctors are also advising older people to wear masks when they go outside to avoid getting sick from the bad air in winter.
