"Lecture on Health and Wellness, Focus on Autumn Health" popular science lectures will be broadcast at 20:00 on August 30.
So, who are susceptible to fall colds? How to prevent and treat a cold in autumn? What other common diseases are there in autumn? This journal interviewed Shen Yi, deputy chief physician of the Department of Internal Medicine of Beijing Tongrentang Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, to explain the autumn health knowledge that everyone needs.
The cause of catching a cold in autumn is dryness
The weather in autumn is characterized by one cold and the other dry. The "six evils" in Chinese medicine, namely wind, cold, heat, dampness, dryness, and fire, refer to the six exogenous pathogens, including "dryness". After coming out, people soon feel that the weather is not so sultry, the temperature is slowly dropping, but the humidity drops all at once, which makes the body mucous membranes dry and reduces the resistance, so people are prone to fall season colds. This is also the difference between a cold in autumn and a cold in spring.
Chinese medicine teaches that "the righteous energy is stored, and the evil cannot be done." The deficiency of righteousness means that people with insufficient righteousness and low resistance are easy to get sick. In addition, people with spleen deficiency have heavy dampness, and people who eat whole grains will produce dampness. A bad spleen and stomach cannot completely metabolize the moisture in the body, and it is easy to "success" when the climate changes.
Children, the elderly, and patients with chronic diseases are susceptible to autumn colds. Sub-healthy office workers who are tired and stressed at work, poor living habits and do not pay attention to health are also prone to fall colds. The common feature of these people is low resistance, and special attention should be paid to prevent the invasion of colds after the fall.
As the saying goes, "Spring cover autumn freeze", "Autumn freeze" still needs to be moderate
The old people often say "Spring cover autumn freeze" is reasonable.The so-called "covering" and "freezing" are both a process by which the human body gradually adapts to temperature changes. Don't rush to add clothes in the autumn. If you wear too much at once, you will feel hot and then take off. It is easy to catch a cold and catch a cold. Cool slowly to adjust. In addition, proper freezing can give the human body a mild stimulus, thereby enhancing resistance and helping to prevent colds in autumn. It should be noted that the "autumn freezing" must be moderate, and you should not over-freeze your head in order to strengthen your physical fitness to prevent catching a cold from catching a cold.
Maintaining a certain amount of exercise every day is also a good way to prevent colds in autumn. Zhang Zhongjing's " Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases" in " Synopsis of the Golden Chamber" talks about "Husbands respect and honor people, weak bones and skins", that is to say, the honorable people have small bones and fat bodies. , It is easy to catch cold and get sick when you are tired and sweating or sleeping at night.
Looking at it now, this range can be expanded to include office workers who sit in the office for a long time, and "housemen" who do not go out much. Therefore, it is very important to move. It is best to maintain 30-40 minutes of exercise time every day to prevent colds in autumn, starting from strengthening your physical fitness.
Two major symptoms of the autumn cold, the family can prepare moisturizers
The symptoms of a cold caused by "Dao Xie" are "dry" and "pain", dry throat, sore throat, nose Dryness, dry eyes, and dry skin are all early symptoms of a cold in autumn. If these symptoms occur, you should pay attention to them immediately to prevent the cold from getting worse and treat them in time. At the same time, you should adjust your daily routine and maintain good habits.
The early symptoms of a cold in autumn can be relieved and cured by "moisturizing". Qiuli lung ointment, Tibetan green fruit throat tablets, Chuanbei loquat syrup, , etc. can all be used for autumn "moisturizing".Several small family medicine boxes can be kept in stock.
is different from the summer cold, which is easy to pass through the digestive tract. " 乾邪來捲lung" means that the autumn cold has a greater impact on the respiratory tract, which can easily cause symptoms such as cough, less phlegm, and bloodshot sputum. You will get better in a week or so. If you have a long cough that does not heal, and you have symptoms of wheezing and coughing, you cannot treat the "lung" alone, and you have to supplement the "kidney qi".
There is a saying in traditional Chinese medicine that "the lung is not weak and does not cough, the spleen is not weak, and the spleen is not weak. Especially the "old chronic bronchitis" patients with chronic bronchitis, bronchiectasis and other diseases, because of the root cause of the disease, they are prone to aggravation of cough after the fall. At this time, do not rush to take medicine for clearing heat and resolving phlegm. Attention should be paid to invigorate the kidney qi, and at the same time, keep on doing activities. Work for the job and exercise for the exercise, and maintain good living habits. The treatment of chronic cough and asthma requires the combination of the insufficiency of the viscera and the ups and downs of pathogenic factors.
is aware of common diseases in autumn and adheres to epidemic prevention is the key
autumn is also a period of high influenza, and influenza virus is more active in spring and autumn. Traditional Chinese medicine refers to flu as "the cold of the season", which is different from the common cold. The symptoms of flu are more acute and severe, and symptoms such as high fever are prone to occur. Under the normalization of epidemic prevention and control, everyone wears masks, pays attention to the distance between people, and maintains good personal hygiene habits. These epidemic prevention measures have also directly reduced the occurrence of influenza and other respiratory infectious diseases. But don’t take it lightly. To get through this fall safely, you need to continue to prevent epidemics and colds.
autumn is also difficult for allergic patients. Patients with allergic rhinitis and allergic asthma should pay special attention to prevention.Seek medical attention if symptoms occur.
In addition, gastrointestinal diseases also need to be prevented, especially children are prone to diarrhea in autumn; people with hypertension are prone to fluctuating blood pressure in autumn; middle-aged and elderly people with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases also You need to pay special attention to your health.
