In addition, in order to cool off, some people like to punch with cold water or take a cold bath when sweating. Blow into the electric fan while sleeping; Turning on the air conditioner indoors for a long time leads to a large temperature difference between indoor and outdoor, which is easy to cause a cold in summer.
High temperature will consume a lot of body fluids. Pay attention to drinking boiled water, a small amount and many times. Generally, it is advisable to drink 300 ml to 500 ml at a time. If necessary, you can drink some light salt boiled water.
And sleep is also very helpful for treating summer colds. At least 8 hours of sleep should be guaranteed, and a hot bath at night can help you fall asleep. If you can't sleep well at night, you can take a nap at noon.
In addition, the diet must be reasonable. You can eat more foods with high vitamin content such as tomatoes and cucumbers, and eat more lean meat to increase protein's intake. Intestinal diseases occur frequently in summer, and bacillary dysentery is one of the most common intestinal infectious diseases, which is not only related to the reproductive activities of flies, but also related to the gastrointestinal dysfunction caused by people's preference for cold food in hot days. Mosquito infection is also an important way of intestinal infection in summer. For example, malaria is spread by mosquito bites.
Therefore, in summer, it is best not to eat the food of the day until the next day, because hot weather is easy to deteriorate food and bacteria are easy to breed. Open fruits, such as watermelons, should be eaten at one time or sealed with plastic wrap, and then stored in the refrigerator, even if stored in the refrigerator, it is best not to exceed 24 hours.
Also, braised dishes are popular in summer, but if people who cook braised dishes don't pay attention to hygiene, people who eat them are also susceptible to germs, so it's better to eat less. Every summer, especially in July and August, food poisoning is a high incidence period, and food poisoning incidents in various places have aroused widespread concern. In summer food poisoning, bacterial food poisoning is more common. This is mainly because the climate is hot, bacteria are easy to multiply, and people who eat food contaminated by bacteria are easy to get sick. There are many pathogens that cause food poisoning, such as Escherichia coli and Vibrio.
The symptoms of bacterial food poisoning are mostly chills, fever, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea, which can occur collectively. Severe cases can also cause dehydration, blood pressure drop, acidosis, and even shock.
Countermeasures: Strictly clean cookware, utensils and food, and separate raw and cooked food; Raw garlic can be added to the cold salad for sterilization; Try not to eat rotten leftovers, the food should be fully heated, and don't eat it if it is left for too long. Once the symptoms of poisoning are found, you should immediately stop eating food that may cause poisoning, ask the emergency center for help, and keep the food well so that it can be provided to the health department for quarantine. In hot summer, the human body sweats more, while the elderly have less water than young people, and their physiological response is slower, so they are most likely to "dehydrate" in summer.
"Dehydration" will thicken the blood, which is tantamount to "adding fuel to the fire" for the elderly suffering from hypertension, hyperlipidemia or cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Blood transfusion to the brain will be blocked, slow down, and the probability of stroke will naturally increase. In terms of prevention, the first thing to pay attention to is hydration. Old people should always drink water when they are not thirsty. Family members of patients with a history of stroke should always pay attention to their symptoms. Generally speaking, dizziness, headache, numbness, weakness, frequent yawning and so on. Are precursors to a stroke. When these symptoms are obvious, you must go to the hospital for treatment, and you must not treat them as a common cold or fatigue.
Heatstroke prevention should be timely and appropriate, the diet structure should be scientific and reasonable, and eat more cold food, such as bitter gourd, preserved eggs and lotus seeds. You should have "protective" drugs ready. With the progress of the times, people's quality of life has improved, air conditioners are everywhere, and the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is too large. When cold air enters the room from the hot outdoor, it directly enters the body from the pores, leading to the "rich disease" of modern people.
Too much cold can lead to some sub-health, such as fatigue, feeling very tired after getting up in the morning, swollen legs, backache and other symptoms.
Due to the high temperature in summer, if a child with allergic constitution suddenly enters an air-conditioned room, it is like suddenly turning from summer to late autumn, and the upper respiratory tract is suddenly attacked by cold air. The trachea and bronchus that are already in a state of high reaction will have reflex convulsions, causing cough and asthma.
In addition, children like to eat cold drinks in summer, which is also a "cold" stimulus. Many children like to drink a lot of iced soda after exercise, and cough and wheezing appear in a short time ... For these allergic children, we should start with the prevention of "cold" in summer.
First of all, air conditioners should be used as little as possible. Don't go straight into the air-conditioned room as soon as you enter the room. It's best not to use air conditioning when an electric fan can be used. Secondly, household air conditioners should be cleaned regularly, because dust mites in dust are the most important allergens. Finally, don't open the refrigerator and pick up cold drinks after exercise. You can drink some warm water first and try to eat less or no cold drinks. Hot flashes in summer are beneficial to the reproduction and growth of various fungi and bacteria. In addition, people in summer are prone to sweating and wet skin. If it is not wiped and kept dry in time, fungi will invade our skin and cause beriberi. Contact with people or animals suffering from tinea and public appliances will be contagious, which is closely related to human resistance.
The most common athlete's foot is athlete's foot, which is what we call "Hong Kong foot". People who like to wear leather shoes are prone to beriberi, because leather shoes are airtight and the humidity and temperature of their feet increase. If the local skin is not clean, a lot of dander will accumulate on the surface. In this case, fungi are easy to breed and tinea occurs. People with beriberi are very uncomfortable in summer, because besides redness, erosion and blisters between toes, they also itch. In addition, many young men are easily infected with tinea corporis and tinea versicolor (sweat spots) in summer, which is related to the large amount of perspiration. Because of work, many people do not wash in time after sweating, and fungi will grow on their skin, forming papules, blisters and scales. , will damage the skin.
Keeping the skin clean and dry is the basic requirement for preventing and treating tinea. It is an important measure to prevent tinea infection to separate daily utensils as much as possible. Pay attention to personal hygiene, keep your skin dry, and use talcum powder in summer; Take a bath frequently and change your underwear. Men's socks with leather shoes must be made of cotton, which is convenient for sweat absorption and ventilation. Don't use shoes, socks and towels; Try to avoid walking barefoot in swimming pools, gyms and other places. Viral hepatitis susceptible to infection in summer includes hepatitis A and hepatitis E, and its transmission route is mainly fecal transmission. Virus-infected people are the main source of infection, and a large number of hepatitis viruses discharged from their feces will pollute water, food and the surrounding environment. Once people are exposed to these pollutants, they may get sick. Hepatitis A and hepatitis E occur frequently in summer, mainly because people have more opportunities to travel, swim, eat seafood, eat cold food and raw vegetables and fruits, and flies pollute food, which is also one of the reasons for the spread of hepatitis virus.
The symptoms of hepatitis A and hepatitis E are similar to those of colds or stomach diseases, such as fever, fear of cold, fatigue, eating less, nausea, vomiting, aversion to oil, etc., which are easily mistaken for colds or gastritis.
Countermeasures: Pay attention to food hygiene to prevent diseases from entering the mouth. Wash your hands before and after meals and try not to eat cold food. Fruits and vegetables should be washed repeatedly before eating, and meat and seafood must be cooked fresh before eating. In summer, many people find that they often wake up early. Psychologists warn that waking up early may be a sign of depression.
To judge whether a person is depressed, waking up early is often an important suggestive symptom. When to wake up can be called "getting up early"? The most common thing is to wake up at 2: 00 to 4: 00 in the morning and never sleep again. If you wake up to pee because of urgency, you can fall asleep quickly after going to bed. This kind of sobriety is not within the scope of early awakening. People who have the experience of waking up early have similar feelings, that is, they suddenly wake up inexplicably after falling asleep for a period of time, looking sober, and want to sleep again but not sleepy. Then there are thoughts, some memories, some guesses, and some thoughts around a certain content. In short, my mind is full of paranoia. The more I think about it, the hotter I get. The more I think about it, the more irritable I get. Then I wait for the morning, almost every day, exhausted.
People who wake up early will definitely have insufficient sleep time, and the next day they will feel tired, confused, irritable, inattentive and inefficient. People who wake up early for a long time will also feel unwell, such as palpitation, chest tightness, backache, abdominal distension and anorexia. This constitutes a vicious circle of "not sleeping well, not eating well and doing nothing", which brings serious pressure to people's physical and mental health.
Waking up early is not only a manifestation of sleep disorder, but also an accompanying symptom of depression. If you often wake up early and have symptoms such as depression, listlessness, decreased interest, emptiness and boredom, pessimism, inattention, indecision, loss of passion, irritability, etc., it is necessary to consider that you may have entered a depressed state or suffer from depression and need to go to the hospital for further diagnosis and treatment. It should be reminded that waking up early is a big problem of physical and mental health and a signal of depression. Don't take it lightly and lose the best opportunity for treatment. Clinical medicine shows that the pathogenic factors of some diseases that often occur in winter or are particularly serious often occur in summer, but because of the hot weather and high temperature in summer, they lurk in the body, and once the winter is cold, they will attack or become serious. From this point of view, from early summer, we must pay attention to the living habits and behaviors related to these pathogenic factors everywhere in order to achieve the purpose of disease prevention.
All kinds of joint pain and limb numbness: including rheumatism, rheumatoid, traumatic joint pain and limb numbness caused by cold and dampness, which mostly occur in cold weather and disappear in hot weather. Therefore, don't take a cold bath or swim in summer, don't sleep outdoors at night, don't sleep on the floor, and it's best not to wear shorts and skirts to avoid cold and moisture accumulation in the body.
Chronic bronchitis and asthma: Some of these patients get sick in winter and stop in summer, and some have severe symptoms in winter and relieve in summer. In summer, we should pay attention to cold protection. In addition to the above taboos, you must eat less or even fast cold drinks.
Chronic diarrhea and deficiency-cold stomachache: chronic diarrhea, such as enteritis, colitis, intestinal dysfunction, etc. I often have abdominal pain and diarrhea after catching a cold, especially in winter. There are also many patients with stomachache and various abdominal pains who belong to deficiency-cold type. Usually, the disease is stable in summer and occurs after late autumn. Therefore, in summer, in addition to paying attention to the above taboos, we must also avoid eating all kinds of fruits and vegetables and cold drinks to avoid hurting the spleen and stomach.
Headache: There are many reasons for headache, one of which is what Chinese medicine calls "head wind disease". Every time I feel cold, my headache is unbearable. Therefore, you should avoid washing your hair with cold water in summer, and blow dry your hair in time after washing your hair. In addition, it is forbidden to blow cold air directly to the electric fan or air conditioner for a long time.
Fear of cold in winter: No matter what the reason, in summer, in addition to eating less cold fruits and vegetables, don't be greedy for cold, but also be careful not to make them sweat.
