Winter can be said to be the most prone to illness among the four seasons. Even from autumn, many people's lung function began to deteriorate and they coughed carelessly. In winter, they cough for three days and have a fever for two days, and their physique is getting worse and worse, even causing other diseases.
Why is lung function easily affected? It's very simple, because the weather is getting colder and colder, the air is getting drier and drier, and the air quality is getting worse at sunrise and sunset. The human body is vulnerable to dryness and evil, and the lung is the most fragile organ, which is easy to cause lung injury, laying the foundation for the frequent lung diseases in winter, thus affecting health.
In fact, as early as ancient China, Chinese medicine has said: "Take care of your life first, take care of your lungs, and your lungs will eliminate all diseases"! Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "the lungs are fine and dirty." Once wind, cold, heat, dampness, dryness, fire and other exogenous evils invade our skin and nose, the lung is the first damaged organ.
Especially the elderly, whose lungs have been injured, are more prone to some lung diseases in winter, such as this year's COVID-19 epidemic, which is attacking human lungs.
The exposed respiratory mucosa is easy to contact with pathogens in the air and is attacked, infected and destroyed by pathogens. If the human body's own immunity is poor, or the pathogen is highly pathogenic, lower respiratory tract infection may occur, leading to bronchitis, pneumonia and other diseases. COVID-19 was infected in this way, so this is also the main reason why Academician Zhong Nanshan called on everyone to wear masks and goggles.
Covering the nose, mouth and even eyes can well block pathogens in the air and reduce the spread of diseases.
Many diseases are caused by the lungs. This truth is that "the lungs must be nourished first, and the lungs will eliminate all diseases", which is worth remembering and learning.
To sum up briefly: normal lung function, strong body resistance, not easy to catch a cold, full of energy, moist skin and normal excretion.
When the lung function is weakened, the resistance will also be weakened, and symptoms such as shortness of breath, laziness, general fatigue, spontaneous sweating and fear of wind, pale face, fever in hands and feet, dry mouth and throat will easily occur, and diseases such as colds and poor urination and defecation will easily occur.
Therefore, lung health is very important to us.
One trick is to judge the natural strength of your lung function and decide whether it is easy to get sick.
Let me teach you a very simple way to distinguish. It's simple. Show me your thumb.
Normal thumb (on the left): the thickest of the five fingers, with thick finger roots and slightly thin fingertips, with shiny color and good elasticity and flexibility.
Abnormal thumb (upper right): the thumb is deformed, and the distal segment of the thumb is enlarged and the root is contracted, which is the lack of lung qi and the manifestation of hypoxia in the lung meridian.
You can also try your thumb and stomach to see if your lungs are full.
As shown above! After such pressing, the fingertip recovery speed is slow and the elasticity is poor, which means that the physical strength is seriously overdrawn; Good elasticity, full fingertips means that the lungs are full at present.
Today, I will teach you a simple little exercise-chest expansion exercise.
First, take a standing or sitting position, keep your feet shoulder width apart, and then inhale. When the elbow is extended backwards, try to expand the chest as much as possible, hold your head high and hold your chest out, and at the same time cooperate with inhalation. When exhaling, put your arms straight at your sides, inhale twice, and breathe once in a group.
Do not exceed 200 groups a day, and the duration is about 5 10 minutes, so it is appropriate to be comfortable and effective.
Anyone is suitable for chest expansion exercise, especially those who work at their desks for a long time, which is easy to reduce the elasticity of lung tissue, reduce vital capacity and damage cardiopulmonary function. It is suggested that you can do 1-2 chest enlargement exercises every day to exercise lung function.
Moreover, breast enhancement exercise is more suitable for girls, which can effectively prevent breast sagging and breast enhancement, and can also prevent breast hyperplasia.
Although the chest expansion exercise is simple, it plays a big role. This action can dredge the lung meridians, promote blood circulation in the lung, and discharge impurities in the lung.
In addition, you can also exercise cardiopulmonary function through aerobic exercise. Common sports include swimming, mountain climbing, jogging, aerobics, Tai Ji Chuan, Baduanjin and table tennis. These are all good exercises for cardiopulmonary function, but we should pay attention to the safety during exercise, mainly with moderate intensity, and pay attention to our heart rate during exercise. The normal heart rate calculation formula is: heart rate = 170- age.
For example, for a 50-year-old person, it is best to keep the heart rate at 170-50= 120 beats/min.
[Smile] [Smile] I hope all friends who read this article can remember the content of the article and practice it.
The lung is one of the most important organs in our body, and it is also the most fragile organ, so we need to take good care of it. With healthy lungs, you can have a healthy body and enjoy a happy life.
Finally, the Institute of Healthy Sports hopes that everyone can have a healthy body. [heart] [heart] [heart]
