In the cold winter, the air is dry and the temperature is low. Generally speaking, older people, due to their weaker physical constitution and more chronic diseases, can benefit greatly from having a winter hat.
1. Promotes warmth
In order to keep warm, people wear thick winter clothes and warm shoes, but many people do not have the habit of wearing hats. Little do they know, the head also needs to be kept warm. Moreover, most elderly people have thinning hair and are more prone to heat loss, making a hat even more necessary for warmth. The material of the winter hat can be wool, flannel, or even the hat attached to a down jacket, but it should be thick to provide effective insulation.
2. Promotes health
The blood vessels of older people are not as smooth as those of younger people, and may even have some hardening. If exposed to cold, it can cause constriction of the cerebral blood vessels, resulting in dizziness and headaches at best, and accidents at worst. Therefore, older people should not underestimate the health benefits of wearing a hat. Additionally, hats like knit caps and attached hats can also cover and protect the ears.
3. Adds to aesthetics
If you choose a beautiful and fashionable hat, it can cover the gray hair. If the style and color of the hat match the outfit, it can enhance the overall coordination and aesthetics of the attire. There is a saying in dialect that goes, "The charm is in the head." And a hat can beautify the gray hair of elderly people.
4. Provides protective function
If you wear a hat, it can provide some cushioning in case of minor bumps or scratches. Not long ago, when the writer passed by a commercial building on Nandandong Road, he was hit on the head by a disposable lighter that fell from above. Fortunately, the hat acted as a barrier and prevented any injury. Older people have relatively slower reactions and weaker physical conditions compared to younger people, so it is necessary to provide them with appropriate protection.
