The second phase of Project Stellar
When the temperature plummets, respiratory diseases often break out in large numbers, causing problems to people's health. So, how can you prevent respiratory diseases? As an experienced veteran Chinese medicine practitioner, I will combine the theory of Chinese medicine and ancient and modern prescriptions to introduce you to some scientific and effective preventive measures, hoping to help you.
First of all, we need to know some basic knowledge about respiratory diseases. Respiratory illnesses include colds, coughs, asthma, pneumonia, and many other types, all of which are associated with impaired normal functioning of the airways. In TCM theory, the occurrence of diseases is often related to the imbalance of "qi" in the body. Therefore, maintaining the balance of the body and enhancing the physical fitness is one of the first measures to prevent respiratory diseases.
Secondly, pay attention to dietary conditioning. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, a reasonable diet can help regulate the body. Autumn is a good time to take supplements, you can appropriately increase the intake of nutritious foods, such as yams, wolfberries, walnuts, etc., to improve the body's immunity. In addition, it is also necessary to avoid spicy and irritating foods, such as chili peppers, ginger, etc., so as not to irritate the airways and increase the onset of diseases.
Exercise is also an important means of preventing respiratory diseases. Proper exercise can enhance physical fitness and improve immune function. Recommend some exercises suitable for autumn exercise, such as walking, tai chi, qigong, etc., which can not only increase lung capacity, but also help regulate respiratory system function.
In addition, the weather is dry in autumn, so it is important to keep the indoor air moist. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that a humid environment is conducive to the protection of the respiratory system and can alleviate diseases caused by dryness. You can maintain indoor humidity by drinking plenty of water and using a humidifier.
Medicinal diet is also an effective TCM preventive method. We can combine the theory of traditional Chinese medicine and modern medical knowledge to choose some ingredients that are beneficial to the respiratory system to cook soup or porridge. For example, winter melon, duck pear, bitter gourd, etc. have the effect of clearing away heat and moisturizing the lungs, which can help soothe respiratory problems.
Finally, good personal hygiene. Cleanliness and hygiene are among the basic requirements for the prevention of respiratory diseases. Keep the indoor environment clean and tidy, pay attention to ventilation, and reduce the impact of germs or pollutants on the respiratory system.
To sum up, the prevention of respiratory diseases requires a multifaceted effort. Only through scientific prevention and conditioning can we effectively prevent the occurrence of respiratory diseases and maintain the health of the body. We hope you will be inspired to spend this season of respiratory diseases healthy and happy.
