How to keep healthy and recuperate during the snowy season
Four seas network: after the heavy snow solar term, winter is very deep. We should pay attention to reducing outdoor stay time, keeping warm, preventing colds, going to bed early and getting up early, adjusting work and rest, and adjusting the body to spend the coldest time. How to keep healthy after heavy snow? Take a look at the following article.
I. cold and warm protection, head protection, chest and feet protection
Winter is overcast, so it's necessary to prevent cold invasion. In the cold snowy season, first of all, we should increase or decrease clothes appropriately according to the climate change; wearing a hat, a bib and a pair of warm shoes is the best choice for cold protection. Secondly, patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, arthritis and digestive system diseases should pay more attention to cold prevention and warm keeping, and wear a little coat when going out. When you are not feeling well, you should take the initiative to go to the hospital for examination. But don't be warm, especially avoid thick clothes and heavy fur, get drunk in the fire, bake your stomach and back, and sweat violently.
Head guard: the head is the meeting of all Yang. If the temperature is 15 ℃, the heat loss from the head accounts for 30% of the total heat of human body; if the temperature is 4 ℃, the heat loss from the head accounts for 60%. Cold weather will constrict blood vessels and lead to headache and dizziness. For cerebrovascular patients, cold is easy to induce cerebrovascular disease. So it's very important to keep your head warm.
Warm chest: in winter, the wind and cold invade the human body, and the chest and abdomen are the first to bear the brunt. After the chest and abdomen suffer from cold, it is easy to break the Yang Qi in the body, thus causing the heart attack. In addition, cold can also induce the occurrence of gastrointestinal diseases. Therefore, keeping the chest and abdomen warm can not be ignored.
Healthy feet: after the heavy snow solar term, some women tend to feel cold because of the cold weather. According to modern medical research, women are particularly afraid of cold in winter because they suffer from anemia, gastrointestinal disease and chronic physical deficiency during menstruation, pregnancy and puerperium. On the other hand, if women suffer from malnutrition, hypotension or hypothyroidism, it will also cause local or systemic blood circulation problems, especially the blood circulation disorders of limb peripheral blood vessels, which will lead to cold hands and feet.
The farthest blood supply from the foot to the heart is slow and little, the subcutaneous fat layer is thin, and the warmth preservation is poor. Once cold is suffered, it will reflexively cause the capillary contraction of the respiratory mucosa, which will reduce the resistance to disease and lead to the infection of the upper respiratory tract. Therefore, attention should be paid to the warmth preservation of the foot during the snowy season. At the same time, keep your feet clean and dry, wash and change your socks frequently, wash your feet with warm hot water every day, massage and stimulate the acupoints of your feet, and walk for more than half an hour every day to move your feet.
II. Warm porridge
In this solar term, people can supplement their eating habits. When it comes to tonic, we should eat garlic, leek, pepper, ginger, coriander, onion, yam, osmanthus, chestnut and dried apricot as warm food to help keep out the cold. However, the winter diet should not be sticky and cold. Due to the dry weather and improper diet, it is easy for people to get angry and suffer from aphthous ulcer. We should also pay attention to control the quantity. At the same time, pay attention to eat less meat, eat more vegetables and warm fruits, and drink more porridge. Experts advocate taking hot congee in the morning and dieting for dinner to nourish the stomach. In particular, mutton porridge, glutinous rice red date porridge, Lily porridge, Babao porridge, millet milk Bingtang porridge, etc., are most suitable for taking.
III. drink more and prevent dryness
Heavy snow solar term, dry indoor climate, although the winter sweat, urination reduced, but the brain and body organs of cells still need water to nourish, in order to ensure normal metabolism. The decrease of fresh vegetables will cause the deficiency of vitamin B and induce the stomatitis.
Therefore, we should drink more water and eat more fruits and vegetables in winter. As the indoor and outdoor air is dry and the air humidity is very low, we must drink more water and replenish water in time to ensure the normal metabolism of organs. Generally, the daily replenishment of water should not be less than 2000-3000 ml (i.e. "8 cups of water", about 300 ml for one cup).
IV. ventilation and early sleep
In winter, indoor air pollution is dozens of times more serious than outdoor air pollution. Therefore, while maintaining the normal indoor temperature, we should pay attention to the ventilation by opening doors and windows frequently to clean the indoor air pollution and invigorate the brain; in winter, the days are short and the nights are long, especially at night. Go to bed early to nourish Yang, and get up late to strengthen Yin essence. Therefore, we should insist on lying early and getting up late, not staying up late, not getting up early and exercising in the morning, 'we will stay in the sun'.
V. regulate mind and protect eyes
In winter, when Yin and Yang rise and fall, it is easy for people to be in a state of depression. Pay attention to keep the mood stable during heavy snow.
Many diseases are caused by emotions. For example, because of emotional instability and irregular daily life, glaucoma, a blinding eye disease, often occurs in the cold months of winter. Its symptoms include: eye pain, eye swelling, vision loss, accompanied by headache, nausea and other symptoms. Therefore, it is necessary to keep a stable mood at ordinary times to avoid mental tension and excessive excitement; pay attention to the regular daily life, do not stay in the dark for a long time, to prevent the increase of intraocular pressure caused by pupil expansion; participate in outdoor activities moderately in sunny weather, because this can increase the supply of oxygen in the fundus blood vessels, reduce the accumulation of carbon dioxide in the blood, and avoid the increase of intraocular pressure; in cold and bad weather, Try to minimize going out to reduce the impact on the eyes.
In addition, if the snow is heavy and the snow does not melt, people will easily suffer from 'snow blindness', that is,' Snow photoophthalmia '.
The main reason for the formation of the disease is that the ultraviolet rays in the sunlight reflect from the snow to the human cornea, causing corneal damage. The symptoms are photophobia, tears, foreign body sensation, strange itching, tingling and edema. Therefore, the snow should not stay for too long, such as working in the snow or sightseeing, you should wear sunglasses with anti ultraviolet function. Especially the friends in the Northeast should pay more attention.
