1, properly cover in spring, and focus on keeping warm.
The method of "covering spring with freezing autumn" is a health-preserving experience that people have summed up in their long-term life. "Spring covering" means to take off winter clothes as much as possible in spring, and "cover" the body heat with clothes to preserve the internal environment where the sun is the spirit. In the cold season at the end of spring, the temperature drops sharply, especially for the elderly and infirm, we should pay more attention to adding clothes to keep warm, focusing on keeping hands, mouth, nose, knees and legs warm.
2, moderate exercise, be sure to stay in the sun.
Spring is the golden season for physical exercise. Regular physical exercise in spring can effectively enhance the body's immunity and disease resistance, so the promotion of "righteousness" is very beneficial to resist the invasion of "late spring cold", but when exercising, we need to pay attention to the work and rest in cold season. When you go to bed early and get up late, you must wait for the sun. Exercise time must be chosen when the sun comes out or the temperature is high (10 am- 12 am, 2-4pm), so as to avoid the harm of low temperature or rainy and snowy weather in the morning and evening.
3. Open the window in time and keep it clean.
When it is cold in spring, special attention should be paid to keeping the living room and surrounding environment clean and hygienic. Close the doors and windows in the bedroom at night to avoid being attacked by cold air at night. But you can't close the doors and windows all day. During the day, when the temperature is high at noon, open the window for ventilation and try to keep the indoor air fresh and sunny. Sometimes vinegar can be boiled for indoor air disinfection, which can make all kinds of germs lose their breeding conditions.
4. Adjust your diet and eat more spicy food.
Nourishing yang in spring and summer, in terms of diet, you can eat more spicy and warm food in cold season. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that warming can replenish yang, pungent can send yang, and entering the lung meridian can open the sweat pores of fur and contribute to the divergence of cold and dampness in the body. If you drink warm tea and ginger soup in moderation, it will help to dispel cold and dampness; Eat more celery, garlic, onions, mushrooms and black fungus. Fiber in food can reduce blood viscosity, help prevent heart disease and stroke, and enhance immunity.
5. Regulate emotions and nourish liver qi.
Chinese medicine believes that "liver governs spring", especially in spring. Among the five internal organs, the relationship between liver qi and emotion is the closest, and emotion first nourishes the liver. Although the temperature is low at the end of spring, it is still the trend of growth in spring, so personal health care should also adapt to the changes of seasons, adjust emotions and keep the mood in an open and open state. If the mood is changeable and easily angered, it may lead to mental illness, so there is a proverb that "cauliflower is yellow and idiot is busy"
6. Cold in late spring is prone to diseases.
Respiratory medicine: cold asthma in spring
Respiratory diseases are high in spring. If you don't add clothes in time, people with low immunity, such as the elderly and children, will easily catch a cold. After cold air stimulation, it will lead to decreased airway immunity and impaired function, and then increase airway responsiveness, causing cough, chest tightness and even asthma and dyspnea. Therefore, when the temperature drops suddenly, patients with asthma and chronic bronchitis are prone to relapse or aggravation. Everyone reacts differently to these stimuli, and people with family history and sensitive constitution will be more serious.
Experts suggest that people with weak constitution had better go out less in cold weather. When going out, you can wear a mask, add clothes, and keep your head, chest, back and feet warm to avoid catching a cold.
Cardiology: Sudden drop in temperature and heart injury.
Due to the large temperature difference between morning and evening, the number of patients with coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction has increased significantly. Most patients with coronary heart disease are highly sensitive to weather changes, especially cold weather. Sudden cold stimulation can cause coronary artery spasm, acute myocardial ischemia, angina pectoris and even myocardial infarction. When the weather is cold, outdoor activities should be reduced, and the increase of blood viscosity is easy to form thrombus and induce myocardial infarction. The sudden drop of temperature, vasoconstriction and high blood pressure are easy to cause myocardial ischemia. In addition, respiratory tract infection is easy to induce pneumonia, which will also cause heart overload and become an important cause of myocardial infarction.
Expert advice: the elderly should pay attention to keep warm and use drugs rationally to control blood pressure. If you have chest tightness, dull pain or palpitation, you should pay special attention even if the attack time is very short.
Gastroenterology: It is cold in spring, and old stomach diseases are easy to attack.
Low temperature is the high incidence of gastrointestinal diseases, because low temperature stimulation will cause capillary contraction, affect gastric acid secretion and blood circulation in the stomach, thus causing acute stomach spasm, gastric ulcer, gastroenteritis and so on.
Experts suggest that people with stomach problems should pay special attention to keep warm this season, and change clothes in time according to climate change to prevent their abdomen from catching cold. Pay attention to keep warm and nourish the stomach, drink more hot water, eat less cold food and eat on time. Exercise moderately, and don't sweat excessively. Regular daily life, remember not to stay up late and don't think too much.
Neurology: Cerebral infarction in early spring is terrible.
Spring is the season of high incidence of cerebral infarction, especially when many elderly people go to the toilet at night or come together in the morning. This time is also the coldest time of the day. The sudden drop of temperature, large temperature difference between day and night, low air pressure and high humidity are all easy to stimulate the nerves that control blood vessel activities in the body, leading to continuous spasm of arterioles, which suddenly increases blood pressure and leads to stroke accidents. When sleeping at night, people are at rest and their blood viscosity increases, which is also an important reason for the high incidence of stroke at this time.
