In winter, in order to resist the cold, people usually turn on the heating to keep out the cold, but although heating can bring many benefits to people, it will also have some adverse effects on our health. So what are the disadvantages of turning on the heating often? What disease can you get if you turn on the heating often? What are the adverse effects of turning on the heating frequently?

1, diseases easily caused by heat.

Rhinitis, bronchitis, cold

At the beginning of heating, many families closed their doors and windows for fear that the indoor heating would leak out. However, this is not conducive to indoor and outdoor air circulation, and it is easy to cause indoor air pollution, and may lead to dry capillary bleeding in the oral cavity, nasal cavity, tracheal mucosa and other places, resulting in respiratory infections and bronchitis and other diseases.

Urinary tract diseases

After heating, the room is dry and the water loss in the body increases. Small white-collar workers often can't even drink saliva at the end of the day. At this time, we should be careful about the problem of less and less urine. Normal people's daily urine volume should be around 1500-2000ml, which can flush the urinary tract and avoid infection. If the urine volume is too small, it will increase the risk of urinary tract infection and urinary calculi.

Xerophthalmia

After the heating period, if you stay in a dry and hot room for a long time, your eyes will be dry, tired and itchy. In severe cases, the eyes will be red, swollen and congested. Especially white-collar workers who often face computers and wear contact lenses are more likely to suffer from dry eye in winter.

pruritus cutanea

The weather is dry in winter, and people are prone to dry and itchy skin. When the heating comes, the indoor temperature is high, and the skin is more likely to lose moisture. Many people have acne.

cardiovascular disease

Winter is the high incidence period of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Due to the large temperature difference between indoor and outdoor, going out easily leads to a sudden increase in blood pressure and vasospasm. There are 30% ~ 50% more patients with angina pectoris and acute and chronic heart failure than in autumn. Patients with a history of hypertension and diabetes are prone to increase the risk of cerebral hemorrhage, stroke and myocardial infarction. For patients with cor pulmonale and cardiac insufficiency, "fever" can easily lead to poor pulmonary circulation, leading to palpitation, chest tightness and other symptoms.

2. How to prevent heating sickness?

(1) Control indoor temperature and humidity.

When indoor heating is turned on, the room temperature should be kept between 18 ~ 24℃ and the humidity should be 50% ~ 60%. Always open the window for ventilation. Generally, the window is opened once in the morning and evening, and the window opening time is not less than 30 minutes each time.

To control indoor humidity, you can use a humidifier or put a basin of water, and at the same time raise more green plants indoors. At the same time, vinegar fumigation or peracetic acid disinfection is carried out every two days on average.

At the same time, heating can also cause skin dryness, leading to skin itching. Change clothes and take a bath frequently. Only in this way can we avoid "fever" such as dry skin and itching. Therefore, when taking a bath, the water temperature should be around 32℃, and it is not advisable to use too much soap.

(2) Pay attention to diet

During the heating period in the cold season, you should try to drink more boiled water, eat more vegetables, eat more fruits with sufficient water and vitamins, eat less spicy and stimulating foods, and choose some warm foods, such as sesame, radish and tofu. And don't eat or eat less spicy food or drink less or drink less.

(3) Pay attention to mental and emotional aftercare.

Physical exercise is essential, and the amount of exercise should be arranged reasonably according to the weather and personal health. Generally, you can choose jogging and cycling. The best way to recuperate is to get enough sleep, go to bed early and get up late. At the same time, we should spend more time in the sun, strengthen physical exercise, and try to avoid nervousness, irritability and depression caused by autonomic nerve dysfunction. On weekends, you can climb mountains outdoors and overlook them, which helps to keep optimistic and calm. However, at this stage, the amount of exercise and fitness activities should not be too large or too fierce, and it is appropriate to sweat slightly.
