Health-preserving methods for the elderly during winter include enhancing nutrition through diet—consuming more yin-nourishing and tonifying foods, such as glutinous rice, black sesame seeds, walnuts, and soybeans, all of which help consolidate kidney essence and replenish heart qi. Additionally, maintaining warmth is essential, as older adults have relatively poor cold resistance; exposure to cold may easily trigger colds or other illnesses.
