Cold air hit, and the temperature in Shencheng "plummeted". In the face of frozen weather, the important organs of the human body have something to say.

Heart: I am the heart that never stops moving, beating about 100,000 times a day, and it is the "power pump" of life. Recently, the temperature has plummeted, and my blood vessels will "shrink to keep warm" when they are afraid of cold, causing nutrients and oxygen to not keep up, and I will be out of breath if I am not careful, and even have chest tightness and chest pain, and sometimes I will jump like a rabbit.

The temperature drops, but the blood pressure quietly rises. Many "enjoyments" in winter, such as hot air conditioning, saunas. One cold and one hot, this is miserable, there will be huge fluctuations in blood pressure, blood vessel blockage, and even heart attack in serious cases, which endangers life.

During the cold season, the chance of heart disease increases by half. Masters, take care of the cold, don't let me "eat popsicles on the stove", I'm safe, you are safe.

Lungs: There are clouds in ancient books, and the lungs are "delicate", and I am the "public act" of the delicate lungs that are most afraid of cold. I have a pure body, so whether the cold and evil qi enters from the mouth and nose or invades the fur, it will make me "very hurt". It coincided with the precipitous cooling of the country in winter, and the cold wind made my trachea and blood vessels tremble, and the "stinky boy" of cold air kept stimulating me, causing coughing, phlegm, and wheezing, resulting in a plummeting of resistance, and "bad things" such as influenza virus, new coronavirus, and mycoplasma were also waiting for the opportunity to invade, and accidentally toss everyone into the hospital.

In the cold weather, everyone must wear more, and then wear a mask to protect my lungs!

Brain: I'm not big and only 2-3% of your body weight, but I need 20% of my body's energy. Luckily, I have a strong energy supply system, a cerebrovascular system. It supplies me with energy. At the same time, my work partners are also strong supporters.

Whenever a cold winter comes, I am terrified because it is a huge test for my energy supply system. Especially for owners who usually do not pay attention to physical maintenance, because chronic diseases such as high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes will accelerate the aging of blood vessels and lead to blood viscosity. In winter, the temperature drops rapidly, and the viscosity of the blood will also increase at low temperatures, which is undoubtedly worse for the presence of plaque and stenosis of cerebral blood vessels, which are easily blocked and cerebral infarction occurs. My brain cells are very fragile, and when the energy** is interrupted, they die very quickly, and they don't regenerate after necrosis.

Therefore, I am extremely nervous when winter comes, and I hope that the owners can take good care of their bodies on weekdays, and if they have high blood pressure, high blood lipids, and high blood sugar, they must take medicine on time and monitor them regularly; Keep warm when you cool down, and remember to put a hat and scarf on me in addition to clothing.

Tips: When the cold wave hits, please add clothes and cold protective gear, and pay attention to keeping warm. If there are obvious "fluctuations" in the body, please come to the hospital for examination**.
