Hanlu has arrived, and the temperature in Hunan is currently low. Many people use "winter overnight" to describe the rapidly changing weather. Under such weather, is "autumn freezing" feasible? How to spend the autumn healthy? Hunan province famous traditional Chinese medicine doctor, Hunan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine First Affiliated Hospital Rheumatology Department Chief Physician Professor Kuang Huitao gave a detailed introduction.
Moderate autumn freezing to avoid injury
There is a folk saying "spring cover autumn freezing", which means "cold hardening exercise starts in early autumn." Why is autumn freezing required? Because autumn is between summer and winter, allowing the body to withstand and adapt to the cold can promote the body's blood circulation and enhance the ability to resist.
Professor Kuang Huitao reminded that although the autumn wind is cool, it is not busy to add clothes. Excessive clothing will evaporate sweat, deplete yin and fluid, and leak yang. Therefore, autumn freezing must be moderate. Excessive autumn freezing can easily damage the lungs and cause external attacks by wind and cold, which can easily cause colds, coughs, rhinitis, pharyngitis, pneumonia, asthma and other respiratory diseases.
A simple principle for dressing in autumn is "the body feels a little cold, but not cold". Young children, middle-aged and elderly patients, and patients with chronic diseases such as respiratory diseases, gastroenteritis, cardio-cerebrovascular disease, etc., must add or remove clothes at any time.
The temperature drops sharply to prevent respiratory diseases
Autumn is the season for influenza and other respiratory infectious diseases. To prevent respiratory diseases such as influenza, you must first develop good hygiene habits, wear masks, wash your hands frequently, and maintain social distancing.
Secondly, we must eat a balanced diet, exercise moderately, and ensure adequate rest. If you find yourself sneezing, runny nose, sore throat and other symptoms,In addition to timely medical treatment, wear a mask when going out to avoid spreading to others.
Professor Kuang Huitao also suggested that citizens in need should be vaccinated against influenza before the high-incidence period of influenza arrives.
There is a large temperature difference, which is prone to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Cardiovascular disease prevention and health care must first promote a healthy lifestyle and follow the four elements of health: quit smoking and alcohol, reasonable diet, appropriate exercise and mental balance. For the elderly, psychological balance may be especially important.
Secondly, we must actively and effectively control various risk factors, especially the "three highs", pay attention to regular physical examinations, standardize and rational use of drugs, and avoid blind use of various health drugs or devices for treatment.
It should be noted that cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are not only high in the elderly, but also "patronize" the young. Therefore, the young and middle-aged groups should also pay attention to preventing the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases.
Exercise moderately and spend the autumn healthy
Autumn is the golden season for exercise. In autumn, body activities are in a state of "recovery" with climate change, and yin and yang are in the stage of convergent and internal nourishment. Therefore, autumn exercises should be moderate and not too vigorous.
exercises vary from person to person. You can choose low-intensity, rhythmic, longer-lasting, and aerobic metabolism functions during exercise, convenient and feasible, and easy-to-persist items, such as walking, running, swimming, fitness dance, Tai Chi, aerobics, yangko, etc. Middle-aged and elderly people can choose one or two of them to exercise according to their own interests and physical conditions.
