We\u2019re well into the month of October, and the air is getting chillier by the day. And as mother nature\u2019s thermometer drops, so does body temperature for many seniors. While we\u2019re used to hearing our elderly complain that it\u2019s cold and cranking up the thermostat, there is scientifically sound data to support their daily chills.<\/p>\n
Seniors have thinner skin, which makes them unable to tolerate fluctuating temperatures. When a person is cold, the heart pumps less blood to the skin, and tiny blood vessels constrict to conserve heat. Aging reduces the elasticity of your blood vessel walls and thins out the fat layer under your skin that helps preserve body heat.<\/p>\n
Older individuals are at high risk for cold-related death. CDC consistently reports that more people die from excessive cold than excessive heat<\/a>.<\/p>\n Keeping seniors warm and cozy is one of our primary duties at F.A.B LLC Homecare Services<\/span>.
