The temperature change between morning and evening and from season to season in Taiwan can make seniors and those with weak constitutions more susceptible to germs
Live-in care workers should be aware of the risk such changes in temperature pose to elderly care recipients
The following preventative measures can help to boost the resistance of seniors:
•Keep warm by wearing more clothes early in the morning and late at night
•Lead a regular life, and take ample rest
•Engage in regular exercise in appropriate amounts. The best time for such activities is in the afternoon when the weather is warmer
•Eat a balanced diet and drink lots of fluids
•Ensure indoor areas are well ventilated
