Problems with the digestive tract.
How to take tonic in winter to be effective.
Digestive tract diseases have entered a high incidence period, and if you are not careful, you will be hit. Jiang Ning, deputy director of the Department of Gastroenterology of Zhejiang Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, introduced that the stomach is more sensitive to the outside temperature, and after being stimulated by cold air, the secretion of increased gastric acid is easy to damage the gastric mucosa.
I just ate one more bite, how could I be so uncomfortable?This is the most common phrase that patients say when they visit the gastroenterology department. Jiang Ning was deeply touched by this: thrifty middle-aged and elderly people are often full of "obsession" with the last bite of food in the bowl, and it is a pity to throw it away, and they have to stuff it if they can't eat it, and they end up in the hospital for several days. "Throw it away, eat slowly, and maybe 50 or 60 percent of the gastrointestinal discomfort symptoms can be alleviated. ”

In addition to the above symptoms, the doctor reminds everyone to be careful of peptic ulcer with atypical clinical manifestations, and to seek medical attention as soon as possible if there is inexplicable hematemesis, abdominal pain, black stool, etc.
People with poor digestive tract should be cautious in winter supplements, and may wish to start with dietary supplements. Jiang Ning suggested that you can eat some foods that are easy to promote gastrointestinal peristalsis.
For example, the gold in the chicken, that is, the layer of yellow skin in the chicken gizzard, the chicken gizzard is the stomach of the chicken, and the yellow skin is equivalent to a membrane in the stomach. However, the taste of chicken gold itself is relatively strong, and it can be paired with foods such as yam, atractylodes, licorice, barley, poria, white lentils, etc., which can strengthen the spleen and stomach. Half an hour after eating, it is recommended to drink some green tea, which can reduce the time that greasy food stays in the stomach;People with a weak spleen and stomach will replace green tea with Pu'er tea. In addition, hawthorn tangerine peel tea is also a more classic food and spleen tea recipe, hawthorn to eliminate food and fat, tangerine peel to strengthen the spleen and dissolve phlegm, the combination of the two, can relieve winter stomach distention.
Patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Eat less sauce and strictly control salt.
Winter is the period of high incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and for patients with high risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, such as patients with "three highs" and coronary heart disease, in addition to the usual matters that should be paid attention to, appropriate health preservation should also be carried out.
Patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases must eat lightly, as heavy salt is not only easy to cause an increase in blood pressure, but also prone to edema, which has the risk of inducing heart failure. It is worth noting that table salt is only one of the ** sodium intakes, and beware of 'hidden salts'. Condiments such as soy sauce, preserved foods and preserved goods, processed foods such as instant noodles, and baked goods such as some breads and biscuits also contain a lot of salt. At the end of the year, all kinds of sauces are on the market, so be sure to eat less. Chen Qilan, director of the Department of Cardiovascular Diseases of Hangzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and traditional Chinese medicine physician, repeatedly emphasized.

Ginger and onion are recommended for patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, especially onions, which can not only lower blood lipids, but also have a certain effect of softening blood vessels. Chen Qilan said. In addition, she also advocates ointment prescriptions, but according to different physiques, choose different medications, one person and one ointment, and cannot generalize.
In addition to "eating", other aspects of life also require special attention.
For example, the environment. In winter, when the temperature is low, many people will turn on the air conditioner to keep warm. In fact, long-term use of air conditioners in a confined environment will lead to a significant reduction in the oxygen content of the air in the space, which is risky for the elderly, so even in winter, keep the room ventilated. When taking a shower in the bathroom, you should also pay attention to the time of bathing.
Patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, while keeping warm in winter, do not exercise vigorously, and do not go out too early, 7 9 o'clock in the morning in winter, it is a devil's time for patients, low temperature will stimulate sympathetic nerve excitement, vasoconstriction, increased blood pressure, and increased heart rate, which is not good for patients. Moreover, she also pointed out that it is recommended to sleep more, and it is recommended to go to bed early and wake up late, from 23 o'clock to 7 o'clock the next day, to ensure 8 hours of sleep.
