1 to prevent recurrence after initial recovery of serious illness.
After recovering from a serious illness, we should pay special attention to diet and nutrition, otherwise the original disease will easily recur. In particular, some patients eat big meals after illness because of taboos during illness and other reasons; Or because of impatience, I always want to strengthen nutrition, or blindly make up, so that I can get better faster, but the result is counterproductive. After the middle-aged and elderly people recover from a serious illness, they must pay attention to a light and nutritious diet, eat less and eat more meals, and it is best to eat some liquid and semi-liquid foods such as porridge that can nourish the stomach and strengthen the spleen, and then enter the general food after the stomach qi recovers.
Second, after the initial recovery from a serious illness, we must ensure adequate rest and never overwork. Even if you work after a serious illness, you can only take part in minor housework within your power. It is advisable to take a walk, play Tai Ji Chuan, do aerobics and other light aerobic activities. For some patients who need functional exercise due to stroke, fracture, etc. They should also do what they can according to the doctor's instructions and requirements, and should not be too impatient. Some old people refuse to accept their old age and just want to do everything when they are sick. This is very wrong and should be avoided.
A balanced, optimistic and cheerful attitude of "three defenses" and "qi recovery" is the basis for maintaining physical and mental health. If anger rushes up, it will easily lead to a sudden increase in blood pressure and a rapid heartbeat, which will lead to acute and critical diseases such as stroke and myocardial infarction, and even lead to sudden death. Therefore, after a serious illness, people should always keep a calm and good attitude, live a happy life every day, and never get angry easily, which is very important for maintaining physical and mental health.
Prevention of "color recovery" Normal and moderate cohabitation and husband-and-wife life are conducive to physical and mental health and maintain the harmony between husband and wife and family. Excessive sexual life will not only "hurt the kidney", but also cause and aggravate symptoms such as backache, leg pain, dizziness and tinnitus. It will aggravate the original condition and affect rehabilitation. It is also possible to induce sudden death due to sudden increase in blood pressure and rapid heartbeat during sexual life, which is not only useless, but even dangerous. Especially in the early stage of recovery, physical weakness has not yet fully recovered, and sexual life should be controlled.
Five prevention "weather" Meteorological changes such as temperature, air pressure, humidity and wind speed have great influence on people's physical and mental health. If the climate changes drastically, or people's immunity and disease resistance are reduced, people can't adapt to the weather changes, which will lead to diseases or aggravate and relapse diseases. Therefore, middle-aged and elderly people should pay attention to listening to the weather forecast every day and do targeted health care for meteorological changes.
2, summer health and disease prevention
Beware of spleen and stomach damage
Many people are prone to various gastrointestinal problems in summer. On the one hand, after summer, human appetite naturally deteriorates, and digestive function is affected by the weather. On the other hand, because people are greedy for cold food, it stimulates the stomach. After the stomach is stimulated by intense low temperature, the blood vessels suddenly contract and the blood flow decreases, which affects the secretion of digestive juice in the gastrointestinal tract and leads to physiological dysfunction. Many old people, children and people with digestive dysfunction often have abdominal pain and gastritis in summer.
From the perspective of health, it is best to eat more thin food, porridge and soup to maintain the spleen and stomach in summer, which can not only quench thirst, relieve summer heat, but also nourish the body. In addition, fresh vegetables and fruits can supplement enough vitamins, water and inorganic salts. Among the foods, the foods for clearing heat and promoting diuresis are watermelon, bitter gourd, peach, ebony, strawberry, tomato, cucumber and mung bean. , have a certain summer effect. It is best not to eat the food taken out of the refrigerator in a hurry, but to eat it at room temperature for a period of time, and not to eat too much at a time, especially for the elderly, children and people with chronic gastritis and indigestion.
First of all, we must cultivate a "heart"
Long summer is one of the 24 solar terms. In the traditional culture of China, the summer and March after the long summer are called "numerous shows" and "heaven and earth meet", and everything is gorgeous. In other words, the weather gradually turned hot and the plants grew into a lush period. Correspondingly, in the human body, the heart belongs to the fire, governs the blood vessels, the mind and communicates with summer qi, that is to say, in summer, the heart yang is the most vigorous and has the strongest function. Therefore, the health care of "heart" has become the key to seasonal health care.
The so-called "heart" in the theory of traditional Chinese medicine is not exactly the same as that in modern medicine. The "heart" of traditional Chinese medicine includes not only the heart of flesh and blood, but also the function of the heart of gods, that is, the brain of modern medicine for consciousness, thinking and emotion. Traditional medicine believes that the heart belongs to fire, and the hot atmosphere in summer is the easiest to disturb the mind and make the heart fire flourish.
This statement has a corresponding explanation in modern medicine, because the heat in summer is very easy to make people fidgety and anxious, and fidgety will accelerate the heartbeat frequency and increase the burden on the heart, especially those with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, who have poor tolerance and adaptability to the adverse stimulation of the environment and climate and are prone to illness. Therefore, at the turn of spring and summer, people should pay attention to the heart and pay attention to the special care of the heart throughout the summer.
Specific measures, low-fat, low-salt light diet is conducive to mental health care. Poria cocos, lotus seeds, lilies, red dates, medlar, etc. They are all foods that nourish the heart and soothe the nerves. With the hot weather, foods that nourish yin and promote fluid production, such as tremella and watermelon, are beneficial to health care in summer. In addition, foods with "bitter" taste, such as bitter gourd and mung bean, also have the functions of nourishing yin and clearing away heat, relieving summer heat and removing annoyance. In other aspects, regulating the mind, sitting and meditating have a good effect of coordinating body and mind, balancing yin and yang and calming the nerves. It is particularly noteworthy that in summer, when the air pressure drops or before the thunderstorm comes, there will often be sultry weather, which makes people feel breathless. At this time, cardiovascular patients may be more prone to chest tightness, palpitation, depression and other symptoms than healthy people. Therefore, it is the correct health care method to adjust one's mood from early summer, combine work and rest, and supplement nutrition in time.
Prevention of dermatosis
After the long summer, the solar term is full, which is the solar term in the period of high incidence of skin diseases. The reason is that the temperature in Xiaoman solar term rises obviously, and the rainfall will also increase. The hot and humid weather in early summer provides conditions for the onset of skin diseases. Therefore, just after the long summer, there is still a period of time before Xiaoman, and some preparations should be made to prevent skin diseases in the future.
Generally speaking, "rubella" is the most common skin disease before and after Xiaoman solar term, and its etiology and pathogenesis include dampness of skin and heat accumulation in gastrointestinal tract, so the treatment of skin disease at this time should be based on the principle of expelling wind and removing dampness and clearing blood heat. A refreshing and light vegetarian diet is beneficial to prevent this kind of dermatoses, especially foods with the function of clearing away dampness and heat, such as mung beans, wax gourd, cucumber, horseshoe, fungus, carrot, tomato, watermelon, yam, crucian carp and grass carp. Spicy food such as raw onion, raw garlic, ginger, mustard, pepper, pepper, fennel and cinnamon should be reduced accordingly.
Pay attention to the difference of respiratory diseases.
Now at the turn of spring and summer, the temperature difference between day and night is large, and people are prone to respiratory diseases such as colds, flu and allergic rhinitis. And these kinds of diseases are often easily confused, thus delaying treatment.
May and June are the times of high incidence of influenza in Guangdong, but also the times when wind-cold colds decrease and wind-heat colds increase. Experts pointed out that influenza is mainly caused by high fever (above 38℃) and muscle aches, accompanied by mild respiratory symptoms. Therefore, cold patients with muscle aches should be vigilant and seek medical treatment in time.
In addition, colds are easily confused with allergic rhinitis. Many people regard allergic rhinitis as a cold and adopt the wrong treatment method, which not only leads to drug abuse, but also misses the opportunity to treat allergic rhinitis. It is more likely that allergic rhinitis induces bronchial asthma, which in turn leads to sinusitis, otitis media, allergic pharyngitis and other diseases. In the specific distinction, the course of allergic rhinitis is characterized by sudden and repeated attacks, while the course of common cold usually lasts for about a week; The former sneezing often lasts, even hitting a dozen sneezes at once; The latter only sneezes occasionally; Allergic rhinitis often has a runny nose and less colds; Allergic rhinitis, sore throat, fever is not obvious, but there is a tingling sensation in the eyes and throat, and fewer colds.
