Below we will ** how patients with ankylosing spondylitis should do a good job of prevention in rainy and snowy weather.
1. Keep the room dry and warm.
Rainy and snowy weather can easily lead to indoor humidity and a drop in temperature, which is not good for patients with ankylosing spondylitis. Therefore, patients should ensure that the living environment is ventilated and dry, and can use air conditioning, heating and other equipment to maintain a suitable indoor temperature. At the same time, avoid being in a cold and damp environment for a long time to avoid aggravating the condition.
2. Strengthen measures to keep warm.
Patients should strengthen their body warmth in rainy and snowy weather, especially when they go out. You can wear warm clothing, such as down jackets, wool sweaters, etc., and wear warm items such as hats, scarves, and gloves to reduce the irritation of the cold to the body.
3. Pay attention to anti-slip and anti-falling.
In rainy and snowy weather, the road surface is slippery, and slips and falls are prone to occur. People with ankylosing spondylitis may already have some degree of damage to their spine and joints, making them more susceptible to external shocks. Therefore, patients should pay special attention to anti-slip and anti-fall when going out, can wear shoes with non-slip function, avoid walking on icy roads, and try to walk on sidewalks or flat ground.
Fourth, moderate exercise to enhance physical fitness.
Moderate exercise is very important for people with ankylosing spondylitis. In rainy and snowy weather, although there may be some restrictions on exercising outside, patients can still do some suitable exercises indoors, such as yoga, tai chi, etc. These exercises can strengthen the patient's physique, improve the body's resistance, and help prevent diseases**.
5. Reasonable diet and enhanced nutrition.
In rainy and snowy weather, patients with ankylosing spondylitis should pay special attention to dietary adjustments. Adequate calorie and nutrient intake should be guaranteed to enhance the body's immunity and resistance. At the same time, it is necessary to avoid eating irritating foods such as greasy and spicy foods, so as not to increase the burden on the body.
6. Regularly review and adjust the plan in a timely manner.
Ankylosing spondylitis is a condition that requires long-term** and management.
