With the cold and dry weather in winter, older people’s skin is already in a lot of trouble, and with the harsh weather, it can easily become dry and itchy, or painful, so they need to take extra care of their skin in winter. We can do this in several ways in our daily life. In the last article we mentioned cleansing and skin care, but in this article we talk about what foods are good for the skin? How to prevent skin diseases in the elderly? I. Food Food therapy methods have been promoted by the elderly because of the existence of simple and convenient operation, no side effects. So which foods are more direct and effective for skin care? I also mentioned when I was a guest on the “Health Hall” program that Western medicine has a golden combination of vitamins for the skin, namely: vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E. Vitamin A is the body’s skin expert, a powerful defender of the skin, with anti-keratinization, improve the effectiveness of skin toughness. Vitamin C is now instead being avidly supplemented by young people because of its pigment-removing properties, so many young people will supplement it for its whitening effects. This is not a bad thing, but the only thing that needs to be emphasized here is that vitamin C is not exclusive to young people, but middle-aged and elderly people also need to take supplements. Then there is vitamin E, which is also very popular among young people because of its antioxidant effect. In fact, these three vitamins should not be neglected by the elderly, do not feel that they have reached an age where they do not pursue beauty. We supplement vitamins A, C and E not for external beauty, but for the health of the skin. We recommend that you eat more foods rich in vitamins A, C, and E. Also I have repeatedly emphasized collagen-rich meat skins, which make very tasty food and have little oil, and it improves the overall elasticity of the skin. A skin full of strong, elasticity not only makes us look in better shape, but also acts as our body’s biggest protector in fighting viruses and bacteria. That’s why meat skin jelly is a good choice. Even in clinical practice, I often advise my patients to eat meat skin jelly regularly. The skin is the most extensive organ on the outside of the body, it can help us resist viruses and bacteria, but also bring “nutrients” to our body, just like the bark of a tree, protecting and giving at the same time, so the protection of the skin is very important. The skin in the prevention of disease mainly to pay attention to: 1, cleanliness and hygiene — bathing in this regard will not say much, our current living conditions want to achieve this very easy, I am important to mention is the privacy of the cleanliness and hygiene. Especially male friends, your foreskin is too long, easy to hide dirt, although will not bring anything to their bodies, but can become a virus or bacteria carriers, through the sexual route to the deep parts of the female infection. Therefore, the cleanliness of the male private parts is the top priority in the whole cleaning process of the body. 2, the sun – young people in pursuit of excessive whitening effect, very reject the sun’s exposure. In fact, in the right season, with the right way, we can do beauty and health without delay. The middle-aged and elderly are very keen on sunbathing and feel particularly comfortable with a half day of sunshine in the park every day, warming the whole body. But everything is not excessive, young people are not excessive not to sun, the elderly over-exposed to the sun is not. The best season for sunbathing is autumn, when the sun is still slightly strong with summer, but already has a shadow of winter. Especially in late autumn, the sun’s ultraviolet rays are not as strong at this time, so we can enjoy the warmth of the sun before 10 am or after 4 pm. And in late fall, most people don’t wear very heavy clothes, so they can bare part of their skin, such as their arms and so on, to receive the sun more easily.
