People's health is closely related to the natural environment, and various factors in nature have a direct or indirect impact on the human body, such as climate, sound, eating habits and so on. But people also have the ability to adapt to the natural environment, which varies from person to person. When people feel unwell because of changing the geographical environment, such as loss of appetite, mental fatigue, poor sleep, and even symptoms such as diarrhea and vomiting, palpitation and chest tightness, itchy skin and emaciation, it is commonly known as "acclimatization". This situation is very common on the road. For example, from the plain to the plateau, the discomfort caused by thin air and falling air pressure; Discomfort caused by temperature and humidity changes from south to north; From the countryside to the city, fatigue, insomnia, etc. Those who don't adapt to noise and light are acclimatized.
In this case, don't be nervous at first, and realize that this is physical discomfort caused by sudden changes in the environment. Some people just need to rest for a few days, get familiar with the surrounding environment, adjust their physiological functions accordingly, and gradually adapt to the new environment, and these discomfort symptoms will gradually disappear. If the symptoms are obvious and cannot disappear for a long time, you can take a small amount of drugs for symptomatic treatment. If you don't sleep well, take a small amount of sedative sleeping pills for a short time; If you have a bad appetite and indigestion, you can take Baohe pills and multi-undergraduate tablets. Help digestion and increase appetite; If vomiting and diarrhea occur, metoclopramide and norfloxacin can be taken. Skin itching can be taken with cisimin, etc. As long as you keep a happy mood, eliminate nervousness and actively adapt to the new environment, this kind of acclimatization can be overcome and generally does not need special treatment.
What should I do if I am not acclimatized?
In recent years, more and more people go abroad for holidays. However, many people abroad, especially abroad, often suffer from insomnia, fatigue, loss of appetite, abdominal distension, diarrhea and other symptoms. Some people even suffer from urticaria and are covered with red papules, which is what people usually call "acclimatization".
In different places, the distribution of trace elements in soil and water, soil pH value and organic matter content have changed greatly compared with the original place of residence. A person's body can't adapt to the sudden changes of living environment such as climate, water quality and diet for the time being, which will produce a series of uncomfortable symptoms. For example, zinc deficiency in food or water will affect appetite, and excessive iron will lead to dizziness and fatigue. In addition, the local water quality and diet structure will also change the species and quantity of normal intestinal flora, destroy the original ecological balance of intestinal flora, lead to gastrointestinal dysfunction, and cause symptoms such as abdominal distension and diarrhea.
When you first arrive in other places, if you feel unwell, you may wish to take the following measures:
First, drink honey before going to bed. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the occurrence of acclimatization is closely related to spleen and stomach weakness. Honey can not only strengthen the spleen and stomach, but also calm the nerves, because substances such as glucose, vitamins, phosphorus and calcium contained in honey can regulate nervous system dysfunction, thus promoting sleep.
Moreover, the imbalance of intestinal flora caused by environmental changes may also cause constipation, so it is also a good idea to drink some honey properly.
Second, drink tea often. Tea contains a variety of trace elements, which can timely supplement the shortage of trace elements contained in local food and water; Tea also has the function of refreshing and diuresis, which can accelerate blood circulation, facilitate the excretion of allergens and reduce the occurrence of urticaria.
Third, taste "local specialties" in moderation and drink more yogurt. Lactic acid bacteria in yogurt can help maintain the balance of intestinal flora and avoid discomfort such as abdominal pain and diarrhea caused by gastrointestinal disorders to the maximum extent. If you accidentally have abdominal distension and diarrhea, you can take modilin or berberine tablets if necessary, and metoclopramide can be taken for those who are sick and vomiting.
Fourth, many people will have symptoms such as sore throat, oral ulcer, nosebleeds and constipation. Try to keep the original living habits; Work and rest are normal; Choose food that tastes similar to the original; Eat less spicy food and eat more light fruits and vegetables and crude fiber food; Drink more water.
