"Cliff-like" cooling, be careful that these diseases will also undergo some subtle changes in the body with the outdoor temperature as this round of cooling, such as their own physical discomfort, which may cause diseases.
Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Low temperature stimulation will cause blood vessel constriction, blood pressure increase, heart rate increase, myocardial ischemia, blood viscosity increase and promote thrombosis, so the sudden change of ambient temperature will aggravate the condition of patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, resulting in a sharp rise in blood pressure and stroke in hypertensive patientsIt can also induce coronary artery spasm and lead to myocardial infarction.
Respiratory diseases.
The cold air can dry out the local mucous membrane of the nasopharynx, resulting in small ruptures, and viruses and bacteria are easy to take advantage of the weakness, resulting in a high incidence of respiratory diseases. A sudden drop in temperature can induce exacerbations of diseases such as asthma.
Gastrointestinal disorders.
When the weather turns cooler, there is a high incidence of gastrointestinal diseases. Because the stimulation of low temperature will cause capillary constriction, affecting gastric acid secretion and gastric blood circulation, thereby causing acute gastric cramps, gastric ulcers, gastroenteritis and other gastrointestinal diseases.
Therefore, people with stomach problems should pay special attention to keeping warm in winter. Knee disease, weather changes, dampness and cold can make arthritis pain worse.
The knee joint is the main weight-bearing joint of the human body, and synovial fluid is the fluid lubricant between the joints, and the viscosity of the synovial fluid is directly related to the content of mucin.
When the temperature drops, the mucin content in the synovial fluid increases, which increases the viscosity of the synovial fluid and affects the movement of the joint.
Neck diseaseThe neck itself is very delicate, if there is a foundation of chronic strain, once it is cold, it may cause blood vessel constriction, neck muscle spasm, nerve edema, induce cervical spondylosis or make the original cervical spondylosis worse.
Moreover, the neck includes the cervical vertebrae, arteries, respiratory tract, esophagus, etc., which cold will make people uncomfortable.
Other diseasesPeople who work or live in cold areas for a long time or work and move outdoors for a long time during the sudden drop in temperature are prone to frostbite, which makes low back and leg pain and rheumatic diseases aggravatedIt can also cause adverse effects on pregnant women and fetuses.
Ping An should deal with the "cliff-like" cooling and do a good job of 6 points.
01Take measures to protect yourself from the cold.
The most direct way to resist the attack of the cold snap is to do a good job of keeping warm. Add clothes in time when you go out, and reduce the time spent outside if necessary. Especially when the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is large, if you must go out, you must wear warm clothes and shoes and socks, and the size of shoes and socks should be appropriately loose to not affect the blood circulation of the legs and feet.
In case of strong winds and cooling days, the neck, waist, kidneys, and ankles should be kept warm.
02Open windows for ventilation in a timely manner.
Keep doors and windows closed at night to prevent the wind and coldDuring the day, windows can be opened for ventilation to keep indoor air fresh and sunny to prevent the breeding of pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses.
03Wear a mask when entering and exiting crowded places.
The weather is cold, and the respiratory tract resistance is weakened. In addition, in recent times, in addition to mycoplasma pneumonia infection and influenza, there is also a high incidence of bacterial infection and viral infection. If you go to and from crowded places, it is recommended to wear a mask.
04 Soak your feet. As the saying goes, "all diseases start from the cold, and the cold is born from the feet", and soaking your feet in hot water every day can drive away the cold and relieve fatigue. "Traditional Chinese medicine foot bathing" has a long history and is a characteristic method of traditional Chinese medicine.
Here I share a Chinese medicine foot bathing formula that can relieve cold hands and feet: mugwort leaf 9g, ginger 6g, angelica 6g. Boil the above three herbs together in water for 20 minutes.
Note: The temperature of the foot soaking water should not be too high, the temperature is 30 -40, and the soaking time should not be too long, about 15 minutes each time.
05 Diet and supplementation.
Supplementing with foods rich in calcium and iron can improve the body's ability to withstand the cold. Appropriately choose foods with high thermogenesis and warm supplements, such as mutton, beef, red dates, etc.
Also, remember to eat plenty of fruits and vegetables and drink plenty of water. Traditional Chinese medicine diet therapy such as: Siwu black chicken soup.
Composition: 10g of angelica, 10g of white peony, 10g of rehman, 8g of Chuanxiong, 300g of black chicken, appropriate amount of salt.
Method: Wash the above materials with water and set aside, cut the black chicken into pieces, blanch and set aside. Put the black chicken into a stew pot, add angelica, white peony, cooked ground, Chuanxiong and an appropriate amount of water to boil over high heat, then turn to low heat and simmer for 1 hour, add salt to taste.
Efficacy: This medicinal diet is derived from the Siwu soup in the "Taiping Huimin and Pharmacy Formula", which has the effects of nourishing blood, regulating menstruation and relieving pain. Angelica sinensis nourishes blood and blood, rehmannia nourishes yin and nourishes blood, white peony nourishes blood and softens the liver, Chuanxiong promotes qi and invigorates blood, and black chicken nourishes yin and clears heat, nourishes liver and kidneys.
This medicinal diet can be used for anemia, dysmenorrhea, menstrual irregularities, yellowish complexion, dryness and itching caused by blood deficiency.
06 Care for your family.
If you have the elderly, pregnant women, children, patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, as well as patients with chronic bronchitis and asthma, please pay special attention, strengthen nutrition, and send them to the hospital in time if they feel unwell.
