summary

November 22 is China's traditional solar term "light snow". The arrival of "light snow" means that winter snowfall is about to begin. Xiaoxue solar term, what should we pay attention to in health care? Here you sort out a number of considerations.

Three high incidence diseases should be carefully prevented

First: what should we pay attention to in health preservation: in the light snow solar term of daily life, the weather is often cold and gloomy, at this time people's mood will also be affected by it, especially easy to cause depression, so we should adjust our mentality, keep optimistic, and often participate in some outdoor activities to enhance our physique. More sunshine, more music. Wu Shang, a medical expert in Qing Dynasty, said: "for the disease of seven emotions, it is better to see flowers and listen to music than to take medicine." Chinese traditional medical theory attaches great importance to the effect of sunlight on human health. It is believed that frequent exposure to solar energy can help to develop the Yang Qi of human body. Especially in winter, because nature is in a state of "Yin flourishing and Yang declining", and human beings should be natural, so frequent exposure to solar energy in winter can strengthen the Yang Qi and warm the meridians. In addition, we should keep warm in daily life to prevent the occurrence of cold. Diet Sun Simiao said: "the foundation of a safe life is food If you don't know what to eat, you can't survive. " Reasonable diet can make people strong and prolong their life, and improper diet is one of the important causes of disease and premature senility. In order to avoid blood viscosity, should eat more to protect the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular food, such as Salvia miltiorrhiza, hawthorn, black fungus, tomatoes, celery, red radish and so on. Suitable to eat hypolipidemic food, such as balsam pear, corn, buckwheat, carrots and so on.

Second: this season should eat warm tonic food and kidney food. Warm tonic foods include mutton, beef, chicken, dog meat, deer antler, etc.; kidney benefiting foods include cashew nuts, Euryale ferox, yam porridge, chestnut stewed meat, ginkgo stewed chicken, big bone soup, walnut, etc. In addition, to eat more stew and black food, such as black fungus, black sesame, black beans and so on. Moderate aerobic exercise is the main way to keep fit. Jogging, climbing stairs and walking fast are all good. Just don't wear too much clothes to make your body warm, your feet warm and your chest warm. Health is Shun four seasons, at this time only pay attention to the external climate change, avoid cold on the temperature, in order to get rid of the disease in the body. Xiaoxue is at the end of the five movements and six Qi. I suggest that you still keep the good habit of soaking your feet in hot water every day, adjust your mind, keep optimistic, keep happy and control anger, often participate in some social activities to enrich your life, and release bad emotions.

Third: in winter, the adaptability of the elderly to cold stimulation is relatively poor, so it is also a high incidence period of cardiovascular diseases such as angina pectoris. Cold weather can cause vasoconstriction, high blood pressure, insufficient blood supply, so it is prone to arrhythmia, angina, and eventually lead to myocardial infarction and other serious consequences. The main manifestations of angina pectoris are chest pain and suffocation. Some patients have toothache on one side and upper limb pain. Some female patients have dyspnea and stomach discomfort, so it is easy to be ignored. Cerebrovascular disease in the elderly due to their own aging, vascular sclerosis, poor elasticity, cold, fatigue, emotional changes may cause sudden contraction of blood vessels, resulting in insufficient blood supply, brain hypoxia, cerebral hemorrhage or cerebral embolism, commonly known as "stroke".

matters needing attention

Generally speaking, stroke is divided into ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke, that is, cerebral embolism and cerebral hemorrhage. The early symptoms of ischemic stroke include sudden vertigo, sudden hemifacial paralysis, physical numbness, weakness, etc. there are also patients who see things and frequently yawn. Some patients with these symptoms will disappear within 24 hours, doctors call it a "small stroke.". Respiratory diseases are cold in winter, and the air is dry, especially in the case of less snow, viruses and bacteria are active. In this case, especially the old people's respiratory tract mucosa is easy to be stimulated, the ability to resist bacteria is reduced, so it is easy to be infected with respiratory diseases. For the elderly, cold, pneumonia, asthma and influenza are the diseases that need to be prevented in this season.
