1, keep warm in advance.
The temperature changes frequently in autumn and winter, so patients with lumbar disc herniation should prepare for cold and warmth in advance, especially in the neck, waist and back, to prevent the occurrence of lumbar disc herniation. In addition, keeping warm in autumn and winter can also prevent colds, and colds in winter can cause symptoms such as coughing and sneezing. When sneezing and coughing, the increase of abdominal pressure will easily increase the pressure in the lumbar intervertebral disc, strain the back muscles, and then cause lumbar disc herniation. Therefore, increasing clothes in time and preventing colds are also important contents to prevent lumbar disc herniation.
2. Keep enough sleep and avoid excessive exercise.
From the perspective of TCM health preservation, winter is the season of hiding, so people should pay attention to cold and warmth in their daily lives; On the other hand, we should go to bed early and get up late, keep enough sleep, avoid excessive physical exercise, and properly control sexual intercourse. If you can't keep enough sleep in winter, or if you often sweat because of excessive physical exercise, the yang in the human body will dissipate, which is contrary to the "Tibetan scriptures" in winter of traditional Chinese medicine, which not only easily leads to lumbar disc herniation, but also does some harm to the body.
3. Pay attention to a balanced diet.
Winter is a good season for food supplement. Patients with lumbar disc herniation can eat some nourishing food according to their physical characteristics, which has a good effect on preventing the recurrence of lumbar disc herniation. For example, patients with cold constitution, usually afraid of cold, dry hair, hands and feet often chills, are suitable for eating some warm foods, such as longan, jujube, chestnuts, honey, mutton, dog meat, shrimp, abalone and so on. Patients with weak constitution are usually listless, unable to speak, sometimes have backache and poor sleep, and are suitable for eating some foods that enrich blood and replenish qi, such as sweet potato, yam, black beans, mushrooms, pork liver, chicken, beef and oviductus ranae.
Winter dietary supplements should be made several times, and the more you pursue, the better, and the more expensive the better. It is necessary to make supplements according to one's physical condition, and pay attention to the balance of nutrition and the collocation of meat and vegetables in order to achieve the best tonic effect.
4, pay attention to the daily protection of the waist
Because there are many inducing factors leading to lumbar disc herniation in winter, special attention should be paid to the protection of the waist in this season. For example, when you sneeze or cough with a cold, bend your knees and hips slightly to avoid waist injury; In daily life, try to reduce the action of bending over. When picking up something, squat down close to the object and pick it up. Don't bend down to pick things up. Get up in the morning, relax your waist by standing up and lifting your legs, then lie on your side and support your body with your arms. When sitting for a long time, you should pay attention to maintaining the correct posture. If necessary, a small pillow or cushion can be placed on the back of the waist to maintain the normal physiological curvature of the lumbar spine and reduce the fatigue of the lumbar muscles.
If physical conditions permit, you can also do some traditional exercises such as Tai Ji Chuan and Baduanjin to relax muscles and activate collaterals and harmonize qi and blood, which has a good effect on improving physical fitness and preventing the occurrence of lumbar disc herniation. However, the road surface is smooth in winter, so people should pay attention to avoid falling when walking and exercising. Although the winter in the north is long and cold, as long as everyone cares carefully, it can effectively prevent the occurrence of lumbar disc herniation and winter healthily.
