So in this period, if we can raise our lungs well, we can avoid causing many symptoms in this cold winter.
What tricks can be used to nourish the lungs? Here are some suggestions for everyone:
Raise the lungs in winter, pay attention to tonic; In winter, we should pay attention to "nutrition, lightness, easy digestion, balanced and reasonable collocation of meat and vegetables", so as to be dry, mild, not greasy and moist, and we should not overeat at at ordinary times.
First, prevent dryness and moisten the lungs.
Our lungs like to be moist and tired of being dry; In winter, the temperature is very cold and the weather is often dry, which will make our lungs dry and greatly reduce our body's purification function and defense function.
Coup method:
1. Always drink water in winter to keep your body hydrated, and it is better to drink more than 2000 ml of water every day.
2. Eat more foods that promote fluid production and moisten the lungs, such as medlar, yam, tremella, Sydney, honey, radish, crystal sugar, lotus root, auricularia, lily, soybean milk, Adenophora adenophora, almond, pig blood, mung bean, candied dates, Siraitia grosvenorii, loquat, water chestnut, lotus seeds, mint, papaya, grapes and so on.
Second, replenish lung qi.
As the old saying goes, the lung governs qi, that is, when the lung qi is sufficient, the ventilation function of the lung will be normal, and our breathing will be smooth, which is the foundation of nourishing the lung.
Coup method:
1, Bufei Qi We can eat ingredients that tonify deficiency, such as ginseng and American ginseng, as well as Cordyceps sinensis, which are also very effective ingredients for tonifying lung qi.
2. We choose lily, watercress, sword flower, fig, bamboo and rattan, coconut water, dried cabbage and so on. And add ribs or old kidney (cured duck kidney) to make soup.
3, eat more radishes, people often say "eat radishes in winter and ginger in summer", which makes sense; Radish has the functions of moistening lung, resolving phlegm, benefiting qi and strengthening spleen, eliminating food stagnation and keeping out cold. In winter, radish is called "small ginseng", which is a vegetable suitable for nourishing the lungs.
Third, different symptoms use different ingredients:
1, relieving cough and resolving phlegm: Fritillaria cirrhosa, almond and dried tangerine peel;
2, bitter taste, dry throat and dry tongue: Adenophora adenophora, Ophiopogon japonicus, Pseudostellaria heterophylla, Sydney, horseshoe;
3, blood sputum: bamboo cane, fresh grass roots, raw rehmannia; Heavier: Tianqi.
Exercise:
The ingredients mentioned above can be taken according to the different symptoms of each friend, and can be made into dishes or porridge. Add some meat such as chicken, lean pork and mutton according to your own preferences to increase nutrition and taste;
The fourth point: protect our lungs, avoid dangerous environment and prevent smog.
Winter is a period of high incidence of smog, and the value of PM2.5 in winter is high. It can be directly inhaled into our lungs and is very harmful to our health. Therefore, winter is very easy to cause various lung and respiratory diseases. Therefore, to prevent winter smog, we must pay attention to the following matters:
1, try to avoid outdoor activities.
In foggy days, outdoor sports should be minimized; Old people, children, pregnant women and friends with respiratory diseases should not go out.
Step 2 wear a mask outdoors
Ordinary cotton masks and medical masks have different degrees of blocking effect on PM2.5 We recommend ordinary N95 and KN90 models with better protective effect. Note that the masks we use should not be reused as much as possible, which may bring us secondary pollution.
3, often clean
After we come back from the outdoors, we should wash our hands, face and nose in time, and it is best to gargle.
4. Indoor air purification
It is best to install an air purification device indoors, because besides smog, smoking and indoor air pollution will affect lung health. Such as pollution after decoration, kitchen fume pollution; So if we want to protect our lungs, we should pay attention to all kinds of external factors that will hurt our lungs. Choose the right time to open the window for ventilation to avoid outdoor polluted air from entering the room;
5. Matters needing attention in daily life.
1, wear clothes to keep out the cold, don't make these too tight, too tight may lead to insufficient blood supply to our brains. You can't cover your head with a quilt when you sleep and rest, which will aggravate the retention of carbon dioxide in our body and affect the normal metabolism of the respiratory system.
2. Be active in sports.
If you reduce physical activity in winter, it is very easy to have thrombotic diseases such as heart, brain and lung. Therefore, friends are advised to exercise more, but pay attention to aerobic exercise in parks, grasslands and other places with fresh air.
3, regular ventilation
Rooms where people often stay should be ventilated regularly. If air conditioners and heaters are used, attention should be paid to maintaining an appropriate temperature to avoid air drying.
Putting a small pot of water indoors helps to moisten the air and prevent dryness.
The above is what we need to pay attention to in the cold winter!
