1. Avoid not opening the window all day.
When winter comes, many people are afraid to open the window. As we all know, it is easy to induce diseases.
If you don't open the window for a long time, you can't keep the indoor air fresh and circulating, which can easily lead to the breeding of various pathogenic microorganisms, including viruses, bacteria and molds. And once the infection occurs, it is easy to spread to family members.
Avoid taking a bath for too long.
Taking a bath for more than 20 minutes and taking a bath for more than 5 minutes can easily lead to cardiac ischemia and hypoxia, and even induce serious arrhythmia and sudden death of the elderly.
Moreover, although the high temperature during bathing will bring short-term temperature changes, the high temperature of continuous bathing will increase the burden on the heart, leading to ischemia and hypoxia of the heart, which will lead to danger.
3. Avoid premature exercise
Exercise in winter should be sooner rather than later, and it is best not to come out early. Because it is cold in winter morning, blood vessels tend to contract and blood pressure rises.
4. Don't sweat at home
In winter, people go out less and sweat becomes "rare". Not sweating for a long time will affect your health. Because people wear thick clothes, live warm and have little activity, the accumulated heat in the body cannot be properly distributed. In addition, the calorie content in winter diet is high, which easily leads to excessive internal heat.
5. Avoid staying up late and taking a lunch break.
In the snowy season, you should go to bed early and get up late. But because of the cold weather, your sleep will be affected to some extent. It is suggested that taking a nap if possible can also effectively prevent the occurrence of heart diseases such as coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction.
Avoid emotional ups and downs
Emotional excitement is a taboo for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Patients with coronary heart disease and hyperlipidemia should especially relax their mentality and not let their emotions fluctuate too much.
7. Avoid sleeping with your head covered.
In winter, some people like to sleep under the covers. In fact, this practice is not good for your health. Many young people like to get into bed, sleep with their heads covered, or cover their mouths and noses with quilts, feeling safe and warm. In this way, it is difficult to circulate the sleeping air, the amount of oxygen will gradually decrease, and it is also difficult for carbon dioxide to escape, making people unable to breathe.
In addition, covering the quilt too thick is not good for your health, and it is easy to accumulate dust, stimulate respiratory mucosa, aggravate asthma and COPD symptoms or make them relapse.
8. Avoid excessive activity
In winter, the energy consumed by human body will increase. If you do strenuous exercise, you need to consume more energy, and the supply of energy depends on blood, which will increase the burden on your heart. It may be more dangerous for old people with bad hearts.
9. Avoid overheating
It is freezing in winter, and the old man is afraid of the cold. They like to lie close together with electric blankets or thermos bottles, which can cause skin erythema or burns.
10. Avoid abuse of humidifier.
In the cold winter, with indoor heating, humidifiers have become an essential tool for many families to spend the winter. However, improper use of humidifier will lead to "humidifier pneumonia".
If the humidifier is not properly cleaned and disinfected and used for a long time, fungi or bacteria will grow on the inner wall of the humidifier, and some pathogenic bacteria will enter the respiratory tract and lungs of the human body through tiny water droplets, causing pneumonia.
