In winter, the weather is relatively dry, and the temperature difference between day and night is relatively large. Some people will have dry nose and mouth, desquamation of skin, etc. People who already have respiratory diseases are more likely to relapse.

Now COVID-19's condition has not been completely eliminated, so we must protect our lungs so that those viruses have no chance to invade our bodies.

If these "reminders" appear in our bodies, it may be that our lungs are reminding you that winter is the best time to raise lungs.

1, edema of lower limbs

Some friends think that edema of lower limbs may be related to abnormal renal function. In fact, the cause of edema of lower limbs is also related to lung diseases. After lung injury, it will lead to insufficient oxygen in our body and affect water excretion.

The edema of lower limbs caused by lung diseases usually has symptoms such as chest pain and chest tightness, which is easy to distinguish.

2, persistent cough

Cough is a stress response of our lungs to protect themselves. When foreign bodies invade our respiratory system, our lungs will expel these foreign bodies by coughing, which can be alleviated in a short time.

However, if the cough persists for a few days, it will be relieved, and there will be bloodshot phlegm, which will pose a certain threat to our lung health.

3, dull skin

People who already have lung diseases may have dull skin, and the use of expensive skin care products has not alleviated the skin problems. Because our lungs produce too much toxins, every part of the body will be polluted by toxins, especially where the lips and face are thin and easy to be invaded by toxins. Female friends must pay attention.

So how should you raise your lungs?

1, exercise to nourish the lungs

The best time to keep our lungs healthy in a day is around 7-9 am, when our lung function is the strongest. It is recommended to exercise for about 40 minutes. According to everyone's physique, we can choose to take a walk, ride a bike, play Tai Ji Chuan and other aerobic exercises, which can make our lung function strong. In fact, Baduanjin can also be used to keep our lungs healthy. it wont hurt you to try it

Step 2 eat and nourish the lungs

Eating more foods that moisten and nourish the lungs in daily life can supplement nutrition to the body and improve immunity.

It is suggested that you can eat some persimmons in moderation, which can moisten the lungs to stop bleeding, resolve phlegm and relieve cough. It also has a certain effect on relaxing bowels. This kind of fruit is mainly suitable for people with chronic cough and constipation, but you should also be careful not to eat persimmons on an empty stomach. Persimmon skin can't be eaten.

Carrots:

Carrots have high nutritional value and are rich in lysine. Carrots are low-calorie foods, which can be eaten raw or cooked, and are very common in our lives. Carrots have certain effects of clearing away heat and toxic materials, moistening lung and strengthening spleen. , can improve our body's anti-cancer ability.

Pomegranate:

Pomegranate tastes sweet, and is rich in vitamin B and vitamin C, with low contents of fat and protein, and even low calories. Pomegranate is a kind of food with the functions of promoting fluid production to quench thirst, moistening lung and relieving cough. When we have a cold and cough, it is recommended to eat some pomegranate, which can effectively relieve the symptoms.

Lotus seed is a traditional Chinese medicine. Lotus seeds are rich in calcium, iron and other trace elements and some vitamins, which can clear away heat and reduce fire, strengthen the spleen and stop diarrhea. When we cook porridge in our life, we can mix lotus seeds with red beans or red dates, which can play a nourishing and health-preserving role.

3, often laugh and disperse the lungs

If we laugh often, the lungs in our respiratory system will expand. We can't help but take a deep breath when we laugh, which can clean our respiratory tract and make us breathe more smoothly.

Although laughter can strengthen the body, it must be moderate, otherwise there will be extreme joy and sorrow. People with high blood pressure or after surgery can't laugh wildly or loudly, which can lead to danger in severe cases.

4. Small coup for nourishing the lungs

You can pour a cup of warm water into the cup and suck some steam into the cup mouth, which takes about 10 minutes each time, once in the morning and once in the evening, which can moisturize our lungs.

Extension:

1, the lung has four fears: fear of cold, fear of dryness, fear of heat, fear of phlegm and dampness, cold and spicy foods must be eaten less, fatty foods should be eaten less, and some foods that nourish yin and moisten dryness can be supplemented appropriately.

2. Insist on exercise and enhance physical fitness.

Replenish enough water every day to keep our lungs and respiratory tract lubricated.

I suggest that everyone can laugh more every day and keep a good mood.

5, more active cough, not passive cough, if we often cough, it is because our lung function has declined, so we should take the initiative to cough in life, you can choose a time to cough.

Can effectively discharge toxins and garbage from our lungs, has the effect of clearing and moistening the lungs, maintains the health of our lungs, and makes our bodies healthier.

6. You can pinch the sides of the nose, which can make the blood flow in our nasal cavity smoother, prevent our lungs from being stimulated by cold air, prevent coughs and colds, and promote our blood circulation. Our faces will be rosy and shiny.
