As winter approaches, it becomes crucial to pay special attention to the health of our senior citizens. With dropping temperatures, the risk of various health issues, such as joint pain and respiratory illnesses, increases, especially for the elderly. PMC Hospital, Sujanpur, a reputed unit of the EMC Group, is committed to providing essential tips to help senior citizens stay warm and active during this season.
Dr. Nasir, MD Medicine at PMC Hospital, says, “Dressing appropriately to protect against the cold is extremely important in winter. Wearing multiple layers of light clothing along with warm coats, hats, and gloves is advised. Special care should be taken to avoid exposure to cold winds, particularly in the mornings and evenings.” Additionally, staying hydrated is essential for senior citizens, as the body’s dehydration can often go unnoticed during the winter. Regular physical activity, such as light indoor exercises or walking during the warmer hours of the day, is crucial for keeping muscles and joints flexible.
Prioritizing both comfort and safety is vital during this season. The risk of slipping increases on icy or wet paths, making the use of non-slip footwear very important. A balanced diet, particularly one rich in Vitamin D, can help strengthen bones and boost overall immunity.
Dr. Rishabh Arora, Director of EMC Group, emphasized the family’s role during the winter season, stating, “Winter brings additional challenges for our senior citizens, but with proper care and attention, they can remain healthy. At PMC Hospital, we are dedicated to ensuring the well-being of our senior patients by providing the necessary medical care and guidance. Simple measures such as maintaining warmth, mobility, and good nutrition can play a significant role in keeping the lives of senior citizens active and comfortable.”
