How to maintain health and prevent moisture in the south?
Recently, there has been a return to the south in most parts of the south, and the weather is warm and humid. I would like to remind all netizens that we must pay attention to the prevention of cardiovascular diseases and prevent damage to the body.
Cardiovascular system: endangering the health of the elderly
Back to the south, the weather is hot and cold, the temperature difference between day and night is large, and the blood vessels contract strongly, which leads to violent fluctuations in blood pressure and has adverse effects on the heart. The immunity of the elderly is declining, and microorganisms such as viruses and germs that are extremely active in humid weather can easily take advantage of it, causing various diseases and ultimately affecting the normal work of the heart. In addition, due to the obvious increase of outdoor activities in spring compared with winter, the tolerance of blood vessels to static to active loads is temporarily unsuitable, which will induce the attack of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
How to prevent it: seven things to pay attention to
Elderly people with cardiovascular diseases should pay attention to the following points:
First, pay attention to controlling blood pressure.
The fluctuation of blood pressure is an easy-to-catch signal of disease aggravation.
Second, we should pay attention to cold and warmth.
Patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, especially the elderly, should not take off their winter clothes prematurely to prevent blood pressure fluctuations and colds caused by temperature changes. Third, we should adjust our diet reasonably.
In principle, the dietary intake should be light and warm. Eat more fresh vegetables and natural foods that improve human immunity, such as auricularia auricula, tremella, mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, etc., and don't eat too much greasy, cold, spicy and irritating foods to prevent constipation or dry stool from causing an increase in intra-abdominal pressure, an increase in peripheral vascular resistance and a sudden increase in blood pressure.
Fourth, we should avoid mood swings.
Keep a peaceful mind, so that the activities and metabolism of the internal organs are in the best state.
Fifth, exercise moderately to ensure sleep.
Chinese medicine believes that spring can relax muscles and tendons, which is good for health.
Sixth, we should use drugs correctly and moderately.
The elderly have decreased metabolic function and drug tolerance, so they must take drugs under the guidance of doctors.
Seventh, seek medical attention in time.
When the elderly feel unwell, they must see a doctor as soon as possible so as not to delay their illness.
Small coup to prevent moisture-proof food and medicine from returning to Nantian
Spring is the most critical season for furniture to prevent moisture, especially in the south, where even air can be squeezed out. No matter where you are, you can feel the tide in the air. The floor is bubbling, the furniture and walls are sweating, the clothes and beds feel wet, and the window glass is also wet, even making people think it is wet. Moistureproof is the main battle of our family this spring. Food moistureproof
Humidity index: ★★★★
Symptoms of dampness: softening, mildewing and deterioration.
Moisture-proof measures: dry, low temperature and ventilation.
The humidity is very high in rainy season, and food mildew prevention is the key. Sausage, ham, mushrooms, fungus and other foods are easily moldy and boring.
Drying, low temperature and ventilation are the three treasures to deal with food mildew. The traditional method of absorbing water with dry lime is the most economical and practical method to prevent mushrooms, fungus, peanuts, red dates and other foods from becoming moldy. There are also many small bags of desiccant, antioxidant, sterilization and mildew inhibitor in molded packaged food, which can also be used in Huangmei field. It is particularly important to note that rice, flour and other foods should never be bought too much at a time, and must be stored in a ventilated place.
Sausage, ham, and meat pickled foods are prone to mildew when the weather is hot and humid, producing carcinogenic aflatoxin. You can dip a cotton swab in a little vegetable oil, spread it evenly on the surface, and then hang it in a well-ventilated place to prevent mildew. Mushrooms should be kept in sealed containers to avoid sun exposure. If the mushrooms are slightly moldy, brush off the moldy flowers and bake them without washing. Adding a little kelp to rice can kill pests, inhibit mold and make rice not moldy.
Drug moistureproof
Humidity index: ★★★★
Dampness symptoms: discoloration, caking and mildew.
Moisture-proof measures: sealing, low temperature
If you have the habit of storing small medicine boxes at home, you need to pay attention to whether the medicines stored at home will deteriorate due to moisture in the rainy season. You can also start to do your own moistureproof work for drugs.
Generally speaking, among western medicines kept at home, sugar-coated tablets, granules (granules), capsules, effervescent tablets, etc. are easy to deteriorate due to moisture. The sugar-coated tablets appear mottled and discolored after being wetted; Particles in granules and capsules are easy to agglomerate and stick into strips when wet; Effervescent tablet is a kind of dosage form that disintegrates and dissolves rapidly in water. Dissolving AIDS are added in the production of effervescent tablets, which makes it easier to absorb moisture. Now, in order to prevent drugs from getting wet, some pharmaceutical companies will put a layer of aluminum-plastic bag on the outside of the capsule when packaging, which has a good moisture-proof effect. Of course, there is no need to be so particular about storing medicine at home. Fresh-keeping bags can be used as aluminum-plastic bags to prevent moisture, and some medicines can also be stored in glass bottles or sealed plastic boxes. If the environment is too humid or the medicine is easy to absorb moisture, it can be stored with desiccant.
The moistureproof of Chinese herbal medicines is complicated. If the ambient temperature and humidity are high, Chinese herbal medicines are easy to deteriorate. There are many ways to protect Chinese herbal medicines from moisture. For example, there are a large number of Chinese herbal medicines that can be kept in sealed boxes. If the amount is small and the medicinal materials are general, they can be stored in the refrigerator; However, if it is more expensive medicinal materials, such as Cordyceps, velvet antler and so on. , can be packed in a sealed bag, or wrapped in moisture-proof paper and placed at the bottom of the rice jar (the method is simple but practical). Under normal circumstances, medicinal materials can do a good job of moisture-proof, and basically will not be moldy. However, in the rainy season, the movement times of medicinal materials should be reduced, and the medicinal materials should be sealed immediately after being taken out to minimize the air flow around the medicinal materials.
How to prevent moisture from invading when going back to Nantian for health preservation?
Method 1: spread newspapers.
Avoid opening doors and windows, and spread newspapers on the floor and table to absorb water.
Method 2: dried peppers, firecrackers and braziers.
People have always had traditional moistureproof practices. One is to put dried peppers to suck some water, but always put in new ones. The other is to set off firecrackers with reliable quality, because there is sulfur in firecrackers, which can not only dehumidify but also kill insects. However, experts reminded that although the earthwork effect is good, such as firecrackers, there are safety problems, and citizens should be careful when using them. In addition, you can burn a pot of stove in the room to increase the indoor temperature, so that water vapor can not condense, thus reducing the indoor humidity. Method 3: light candles
Lighting candles can prevent water vapor from condensing, thus reducing indoor humidity. If there is a musty smell at home, you can choose a candle containing natural plant aromatic essential oil, which can not only dry the air, but also remove the musty smell indoors.
Method 4: mop the floor with hot water and salt.
This method can accelerate the evaporation of water. After mopping the floor, put some waste paper boxes or newspapers at the door to reduce the moisture brought in by the soles.
Method 5: Use equipment
Use a dehumidifier, air conditioner or heater. At present, the dehumidification products on the market mainly include air conditioners, dehumidifiers and heaters, and the air conditioners used in general households all have dehumidification function.
Method 6: Blow the north wind
Open the doors and windows when the north wind turns. Due to the cold air heading south, more than 80% of the return days disappeared. If the weather forecast says that there is cold air going south and the local wind direction turns north, you can safely open the doors and windows for ventilation.
Method 7: Lime absorbs moisture.
In small space areas such as toilets and bathrooms, quicklime can be wrapped in cloth bags to absorb water. You can also poke holes in the bag of washing powder to absorb moisture with washing powder.
Matters needing attention
Don't open the south window when it is sunny at noon. Close the doors and windows in advance to prevent warm and humid outdoor air from entering. Some people think that it's sunny at noon, so you can open the window for ventilation, but it can't alleviate the humidity. The outdoor temperature is the highest at noon, and the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is also the largest. At this time, ventilation sometimes leads to more serious condensation of water vapor on indoor floors and walls.
Keep bathroom door at hand to prevent water vapor from spreading to other parts of the room. After cooking or taking a bath, remember to bring the kitchen door and bathroom door, turn on the exhaust fan, and reduce the water entering the living room.
