How to prevent chronic bronchitis in autumn and winter?
The dry and cold weather in autumn and winter, especially the sudden drop of temperature, is easy to stimulate the respiratory tract and weaken its defense function.

At this time, bronchial smooth muscle contracts, mucosal blood circulation is blocked, and secretion excretion is difficult, which is easy to cause infection.

This disease is more common in the elderly, especially those over 50 years old. Once it develops to the advanced stage, it is easy to be complicated with chronic pulmonary hypertension and cor pulmonale, and will die of respiratory failure caused by pulmonary encephalopathy.

In daily life, do four things to prevent chronic bronchial diseases.

1, proper exercise, patients with physical fitness can choose appropriate exercise according to their physical condition, such as Tai Ji Chuan, jogging, chest expansion exercise, etc. These are all helpful to their condition.

Moreover, insisting on exercise can also enhance the body's resistance and reduce the chance of virus infection.

Attention: Don't do too intense anaerobic exercise, especially for patients with "three highs" to avoid serious complications.

Second, pay attention to your daily life and prevent colds. The weather is changeable. Pay attention to adding and subtracting clothes in time in autumn and winter to prevent colds and flu.

At the same time, pay attention to maintaining the environmental sanitation in the home, keep the air circulating and have a certain humidity, and control and eliminate all kinds of harmful gases and smoke. Smokers, in particular, had better give up smoking, because smoking will lead to an increase in respiratory secretions, reflex bronchospasm and difficulty in expectoration, thus accelerating the reproduction of viruses and bacteria and further worsening chronic bronchitis.

Third, pay attention to diet. The lightness is mainly due to long-term hypoxia and carbon dioxide retention. The gastrointestinal function of elderly patients with chronic bronchitis and emphysema is seriously damaged. Patients suffer from anorexia and indigestion all the year round, so most patients are malnourished.

Malnutrition will reduce the immune function of the body, and the damaged tissues and cells are not easy to recover, leading to prolonged illness. Therefore, the patients' families should make the patients' daily diet arrangements, mainly light and avoid frying and greasy.

High quality protein, such as lean meat, milk, eggs, fish, etc. , is essential. In addition, you can supplement some fresh vegetables and fruits every day, make the food as soft and fine as possible, or make soup and soup to make it easy to absorb.
