Today (December 24), the National Health Commission held a press conference to introduce the prevention and treatment of respiratory diseases in winter and answer questions from reporters.
At the meeting, a reporter asked what means traditional Chinese medicine can use to strengthen the body and speed up recovery during the recovery period after the respiratory disease is cured
Sun Luying, president of Fangshan Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, said that during this period of time, traditional Chinese medicine can be used to help everyone strengthen their bodies and promote their bodies as soon as possible.
First, it is necessary to strengthen protection to avoid reinfection or other infections. In the late recovery or initial recovery stage of the disease, the body is relatively weak, and it is still necessary to strengthen protection during this time, such as washing hands frequently, wearing masks, ventilating frequently, strengthening nutrition, and avoiding contact with patients.
The second is to live modestly and avoid fatigue. This period of time is the transition stage of the body from illness to recovery, and fatigue will cause the body's immunity to decrease, which is easy to increase the risk of disease, so it is recommended to live regularly, get enough sleep, eat reasonably, relax and promote recovery.
The third is to enhance the body's resistance through traditional Chinese medicine diet therapy. For example, "four white porridge" can strengthen the spleen and stomach, and protect righteousness;For people with particularly weak body, soaking in water, cooking porridge or making soup can nourish qi and nourish yin and help the body resist pathogens. Tips: If you are allergic to the ingredients in the above dietary prescriptions or tea substitutes, use with caution.
Fourth, moderate exercise plays a key role in the recovery of the body. Moderate exercise can promote the flow of qi and blood in the body, improve cardiopulmonary function, relieve stress and anxiety, and can strengthen the body and promote health. Light activity, such as walking or jogging once or twice a day, for 20-30 minutes is recommended. Special attention should be paid to the appropriate amount of exercise, exercise time or frequency according to each person's physical condition.
