Curing temperature
Throughout the year, for the elderly, fear of winter is the strongest. Looking at the middle-aged and old friends around us, we will find that some people are wrapped up as soon as they enter winter. Although they are warm, blindly adding more clothes has hidden dangers for their bodies: wearing too many clothes will affect the heat dissipation and moisture dissipation of their bodies; Secondly, it leads to an increase in body temperature. Once the temperature changes, it may reduce the body's cold resistance and adaptability, but it is easier to catch a cold. Overweight clothes directly oppress the body and restrict free movement, which is very clumsy.

In fact, it is not difficult to give consideration to warmth and beauty. In recent years, a kind of underwear called "far infrared" underwear has become popular in the market. Its principle is to transfer far-infrared heat energy to deeper tissues under human skin, so as to raise local temperature, radiate from inside to outside, dilate capillaries, promote blood circulation and metabolism, and enhance tissue regeneration ability. Can be used for relieving inflammation, pain and muscle spasm.

But if the magnetic field of far infrared underwear is too weak, it will not play a therapeutic role; If the effect is too strong, it will cause harm to the body, especially to the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems and reproductive systems. Patients with pacemakers should avoid wearing far-infrared underwear. When shopping, you must make the right decision according to the specific situation, and don't blindly follow the trend.

The warmth of the waist and abdomen is the highlight.

The waist and abdomen are located in the middle of the body, connected with the head yang and the foot yin, and are the transformation hubs of yin and yang of the human body. There are many important acupoints in the waist and abdomen. Once yin-cold enters, it is easy to affect the whole body's qi and blood circulation through Ren-Du meridians, which can reach the spleen, stomach, heart and lungs and affect the functions of breathing, circulation and digestion. It can reach the liver, kidney, intestine and bladder, hindering the operation of metabolism, excretion and reproduction, so Chinese medicine attaches great importance to the protection of waist and abdomen.

In the cold season, the invasion of cold air makes the blood circulation in the waist and abdomen low, causing vasoconstriction and ischemia, slowing down the blood flow in the subcutaneous and fascia tissues of the waist and abdomen, causing microvascular congestion and congestion, and causing local fibrous tissue inflammation. Waist and abdomen can protect yang, resist exogenous pathogens, prevent diseases and reduce the recurrence and deterioration of old diseases. For people suffering from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, bronchitis, asthma, allergic rhinitis, gastric and duodenal ulcers, dysmenorrhea, irregular menstruation, and old age, it is particularly important to keep warm. Especially for middle-aged and elderly people, you can wear a vest next to your waist and abdomen when it is cold, and warm your stomach with a hot water bottle when you sleep at night, which also helps to keep your abdomen warm.

Avoid collars that are too high and too tight.

Too tight collar will compress the blood vessels in the neck, reduce the nutrients delivered to the brain and eyes, and then affect the vision, and also affect the normal activities of the cervical spine, which may easily lead to cervical spondylosis. In severe cases, cervical spondylosis will suddenly fall to the ground because of syncope, which is by no means an exaggeration.

Some people who wear high-necked clothes turn their heads too fast, which will also induce hypotension, leading to decreased blood flow in the brain and temporary interruption. In severe cases, they may appear pale and unconscious. These symptoms usually disappear in a few seconds and return to normal quickly, but they may also make some people lose consciousness for a period of time, which is medically called "transient cerebral ischemia (TIA)" and is a dangerous symptom.

When you get boot disease.

Long leather boots have become the first choice for many fashionable women because they can effectively resist the cold wind, but they will tightly wrap their calves, which is harmful to women's health. If the size of leather boots is too small, the waist is too tight and the heel is too high, the blood vessels and nerves at the instep and ankle will be squeezed for a long time, resulting in poor blood circulation in some tissues of feet, ankles and calves.

At the same time, due to the poor air permeability of high boots, the sweat secreted by the feet after walking can not be volatilized in time, which will create a good growth and reproduction environment for anaerobic bacteria and fungi, and make you suffer from beriberi and onychomycosis. In order to avoid the harm caused by high boots, female friends are advised not to wear high boots and leather boots every day. On sunny days, the boots should be aired or dried to keep the shoes dry.

One piece is thicker than several pieces.

Nowadays, many winter clothes have four characteristics: lightness, softness, warmth and lightness. Instead of wearing heavy winter clothes, it is better to wear a few thinner ones, which can be put on and off conveniently according to the change of temperature. Secondly, in terms of visual effect, it will not be fat, and it looks both energetic and slim.

It is not advisable to wear thick clothes to sleep.

Some old people are afraid of the cold, and they always wear more clothes when they sleep, which is not good for their health. Because human skin will secrete and emit some chemicals, wearing clothes and sleeping will undoubtedly hinder the normal breathing of the skin and the evaporation of sweat. The compression and friction of clothes on muscles will affect blood circulation, leading to the decrease of body surface heat. Even with a thick quilt, you will feel cold.

Therefore, it is not advisable to wear thick clothes to sleep in cold winter. Generally speaking, undressing is easy to relax, which can quickly eliminate fatigue and give all organs of the body a good rest. In the cold season, the key to mastering flexible dressing rules is to have skills.
