1, misunderstanding of winter health care
A. lick your lips often
Lips are easy to dry in winter, so many people habitually lick their lips and are too lazy to drink water. In fact, this little trick is wrong. You lick your lips a little, but your lips will dry faster. Why? Because saliva is secreted by salivary glands and sticky, it will be dry and uncomfortable when licking lips.
B. (make) dress too fastidiously
Because of the cold, there are many overcoats, which will only be counterproductive. The more clothes you wear, the more heat you generate, and the more blood flows to your skin, thus increasing heat dissipation.
C. Love mask
The cold wind smells bad in winter, so many people like to wear masks to go out. People who wear masks are more likely to catch a cold. When cold air is inhaled into the lungs through the nasal cavity, it is generally close to the body temperature, so it can increase the cold resistance of the human body. But if you wear a mask often, your body will become delicate and more likely to catch a cold.
D. Wash your face with hot water
Because it is cold in winter, many people like to wash their faces with hot water, and some even think that they must wash their faces with hot water in winter. Actually, this is not right. When a person's face is exposed to hot water, the pores will expand. When the heat is emitted, the pores will shrink. If the pores stretch and contract like this, it is easy to cause wrinkles on the face.
E. sleep with your head covered
Most people have this habit in winter because the weather is warm. But if you stay in this state all night, you will find your head dizzy in the morning. The air in bed is too bad and there is too much carbon dioxide, which can easily lead to poor breathing. It's not good for your health to go on like this for a long time.
2. Prevent these diseases in winter.
After entering the winter, fractures, burns, gas poisoning, hypothermia and other situations occur from time to time. When the above-mentioned accidental injuries and diseases occur, correct and effective first-aid measures should be taken at the first time to reduce and delay the injuries and win time for further treatment.
(1) burns and scalds
Burns and scalds are common accidents in winter life. Once burned or scalded, rinse the scalded area with running cold water and let it cool for at least ten minutes. If you need further medical treatment for burns and scalds, you can temporarily cover the wound with plastic wrap or clean plastic bags to keep the wound clean and avoid infection. If the child is burned and blistered, involving many parts of the body, be sure to call 120. Don't put sesame oil or cream on the wound, and don't use ice cubes to cool the burned area. You can't bandage the wound with adhesive tape. If there are clothes sticking to the burn wound, don't try to remove them.
(2) Fracture
In winter, the road surface is cold and hard, and it is easy to break after an accidental fall. If there is congestion, swelling and pain, or abnormal lying position, it may be a fracture. Severe fractures can lead to limb deformities or open wounds. Once a fracture occurs, the injured can support and fix the affected limb with hands, pads, clothes, etc. To avoid unnecessary movement. They should call 120 or ask others for help until the medical staff arrives.
(3) Gas poisoning
In winter, doors and windows are closed tightly, ventilation frequency is reduced, gas water heaters and gas stoves are not closed tightly, or coal stoves are used for heating, which may cause gas poisoning accidents. If you smell a special smell at home, you should carefully identify and eliminate it. When it is determined that there is combustible gas leakage, the gas valve should be closed immediately and the doors and windows should be opened for ventilation. Do not use any electrical appliances or communication equipment.
If gas poisoning is found, while opening the doors and windows, move the poisoned person to the outdoor or fresh air room, call the emergency center after confirming the safety, loosen the button of the patient's clothes, and put him in the lateral position to keep the respiratory tract unobstructed. If cardiac arrest is found, cardiopulmonary resuscitation should be performed immediately.
(4) Hypothermia
When the ambient temperature is low, people are likely to have hypothermia, chills, pale skin and chills, and may also have consciousness disorders. Once hypothermia occurs, the patient should be warmed up slowly. You can wrap them in blankets and give them hot drinks such as hot soup and hot chocolate and high-calorie foods to help them recover their body temperature. Drinks should not contain alcohol and caffeine to keep patients awake.
3. How to prevent stomach trouble in winter?
1. Eat warm food. In winter, in order to maintain a certain amount of heat, the human body must increase the decomposition of sugar, fat, protein and other substances to generate more energy to meet the needs of the body. Diets should be supplemented with thermogenic nutrients, such as carbohydrate, fat and protein, to improve the body's tolerance to low temperature. In addition, the spleen and stomach like dryness and hate cold, so eat more food that warms the stomach, such as beef, mutton and leeks.
2. Three meals are regularly quantified. In winter, the days are short and the nights are long. Many people will change three meals a day into two meals and increase their appetite. This is not recommended. It is easy to cause gastric acid secretion disorder and damage gastric mucosa. Three meals a day should be regularly quantified. The energy distribution of three meals should be 30%, 40% and 30%, with breakfast at 6: 30 ~ 8: 30, lunch11:30 ~13: 30 and dinner 18: 00 ~ 20: 00.
3. Eat more stew and less cold salad. Winter is very cold, and many people like to eat hot food. The human esophageal wall is composed of mucous membrane, which is very fragile and can only tolerate food at 50 ~ 60℃. If the temperature exceeds this temperature, the esophageal mucosa will be scalded. Too cold food into the stomach will stimulate the gastric mucosa and cause stomach problems, which is also not conducive to keeping warm. Therefore, the food in winter should be mainly warm, eat more stews and stir-fry, eat less cold salad and drink soup instead of cooking it.
Step 4 chew slowly. Some people go home from work in the cold outdoors. When they see hot food, they immediately serve it and gobble it up. However, a large number of fast food in a short period of time, food that is not chewed enough can not be fully mixed with gastrointestinal liquid phase in the stomach, which directly affects its digestion and absorption, and it is easy to overeat and exceed the stomach capacity. Chewing slowly is beneficial to the uniform mixing of food and gastric juice, promoting digestion and absorption, and the absorption rate of some nutrients in food can be increased by about 10%. It is recommended to chew every bite of food 30 times, and each meal should be no less than 20 minutes.
5. Drink a cup of warm water before meals. The best time to drink water is when you get up on an empty stomach in the morning, one hour before each meal. Drinking water immediately after a meal will dilute gastric juice, and soaking in rice will also affect digestion.
6. Take a walk indoors after supper. In winter, you can take a walk after a meal indoors. Don't leave immediately after a meal, and then leave after 20 to 30 minutes. "Take a hundred steps after a meal" is only suitable for people who are usually inactive, fat or have too much stomach acid. Elderly people with cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension and arteriosclerosis should not "walk in a hundred steps" immediately after meals.
7. Wear a cotton vest. Cold in winter will slow down the activity of the stomach or cause stomach cramps, and also easily lead to "irritable bowel syndrome", leading to diarrhea, fatigue and general weakness. You must warm your stomach in winter. You can wear a warm vest to give your stomach a warm environment.
8. Keep a good mood. Many people have had the experience of having a stomachache when they are angry. Depression and anger damage the liver, and liver qi invades the stomach, which can cause gastrointestinal diseases such as epigastric pain, vomiting and diarrhea. So keep your mood stable and happy. Shortening sunshine in winter is easy to get depressed, so it is recommended to keep exercising and go outdoors to bask in the sun as much as possible.
9. Be more careful when taking medicine. First of all, many drugs are irritating to the gastric mucosa, which will damage the gastric mucosa and even cause ulcers. Be careful. For temporary gastrointestinal dysfunction, it is also inappropriate to take antibiotics, spasmolytics and antidiarrheal drugs at will. Second, the medication time must be chosen correctly. Drugs to protect gastric mucosa and gastric motility are suitable for taking half an hour before meals, and acidic inhibitors such as cimetidine are best taken with meals. Drugs for neutralizing gastric acid, including sodium bicarbonate and aluminum hydroxide, can be taken after meals 1 hour.
10. Pay attention to oral hygiene. Helicobacter pylori (HP) is the chief culprit of stomach diseases, which mainly comes from unclean oral cavity and is stored in large quantities on dental plaque. When the body's resistance drops, Helicobacter pylori is easy to cause the occurrence or recurrence of stomach diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to change the toothbrush frequently and insist on gargling correctly after every meal.
I hope everyone can understand these winter health care products. Pay attention to diet and living habits at ordinary times, and do a good job of cold protection and warmth. The temperature in winter is low, and many people are not very resistant, so it is easier to cause some of the above diseases. So it is very important to improve resistance in winter. Knowing some health care methods is best for your health.
