Cardiovascular and respiratory tract are most susceptible to disaster in winter. How to prevent high incidence

　　In recent times, the temperature in many places has been erratic, and the temperature difference between day and night has increased. Special climate conditions have made winter a season prone to various diseases. If the body cannot adapt to this change and its resistance decreases, some "old problems" are particularly likely to relapse, especially diseases of the respiratory system and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

　　Cao Guimin, chief physician of the Cardiology Department of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine Qifu Hospital, said that the special climate conditions in winter make it a season of high incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and respiratory diseases.

　　Who are susceptible to the disease? What are the causes?

　　The temperature difference between day and night is large in winter. For middle-aged and elderly people, they are not only prone to colds and fevers, but also need to pay attention to preventing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Because winter is the season with high incidence of stroke and myocardial infarction. This is related to the fact that under the stimulation of cold air, the skin and blood vessels constrict, and blood pressure easily fluctuates, thus triggering a series of adverse reactions. For patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, it is undoubtedly a "timing". People with poor health are also susceptible to respiratory diseases during climate changes, which can induce the following diseases:

　　①In terms of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, the main ones are cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral thrombosis, cerebral infarction, hypertension, coronary heart disease, heart failure, arrhythmia, etc. Even young and middle-aged people may have sudden myocardial infarction and cause sudden death. This should be taken seriously and not taken lightly.

　　②In terms of respiratory diseases, colds, coughs, chronic bronchitis, asthma, etc. are more likely to occur.

　　How to prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases?

　　Cao Guimin reminded that it is necessary to prevent and treat cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases from five aspects.

　　1. The temperature drops in winter, so be careful to keep warm. In a heated room, you should open the door at the door to get used to it before going out to avoid cold air stimulating blood vessels when going out directly, which may easily cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents.

　　2. The routine of life should be stable, especially for those who have the habit of morning exercise, it is better to do it after 10 a.m. or in the afternoon. 6-10 a.m. is a time period when human body blood pressure is high. If you go out too early and are stimulated by the cold, you are more likely to have cardiovascular and cerebrovascular problems. Therefore, it is not advisable to do morning exercises too early.

　　3. Don’t eat too much fat in your diet. The meals should be light and eat more vegetables and fruits.

　　4. Pay attention to controlling blood pressure, measure blood pressure frequently, adjust medication dosage, and avoid repeated fluctuations in blood pressure. Once symptoms such as chest tightness, shortness of breath, cough, headache, dizziness, etc. occur, seek medical attention promptly.

　　5. Keep your mood stable and avoid being too excited or sulking to cause blood pressure fluctuations and induce diseases.

　　How to prevent respiratory diseases?

　　As the seasons change and the weather changes, many elderly people and children are prone to respiratory diseases. Cao Guimin reminded everyone to prevent respiratory diseases from five aspects.

　　1. Start by strengthening your physical fitness and improving your own immunity. Young people can continue to exercise, such as jogging, boxing, doing exercises, etc., but they need to pay attention to doing what they can to avoid excessive fatigue. Winter exercise is best done after sunrise, when the temperature is slightly higher.

　　2. Indoor air needs to be ventilated in winter. Because indoors are not ventilated for a long time and are not exposed to sunlight, it is easy for bacteria and viruses to breed. Therefore, you should pay attention to keeping windows open for ventilation. You can also use vinegar, steaming, fumigation and other methods to disinfect the room.

　　3. Eat a balanced diet and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C. In addition to proper nourishment in winter, you should also increase your intake of foods that nourish yin and lungs, such as pears, lilies, tremella, etc., to help nourish yin, nourish yin and lungs.

　　4. It is best to wear a mask when encountering haze weather or going to some densely populated places. Try to reduce the time you spend in public places such as shopping malls and cinemas.

　　5. Maintain a regular life, work and rest on time, ensure 8 hours of adequate sleep, and do not stay up late. According to weather changes, you should add clothes in time to prevent catching cold, develop the habit of drinking more water, washing hands frequently, and pay attention to personal hygiene. Washing your face with cold water in the morning and soaking your feet in hot water before going to bed are good ways to prevent respiratory diseases.

　　How to improve your daily diet?

　　It is suitable for "storage" in winter. At this time, dietary supplements must be "smart". If you eat too many dry and hot supplements, it will damage Yin Qi, disturb Yang Qi, and aggravate the symptoms of dryness. For people who are afraid of the cold and have cold hands and feet in winter, it is recommended to eat some mild warming foods, such as chicken, yellow beef, mutton, shrimp, leeks, etc. For people with insufficient blood circulation and dry mouth and eyes, it is recommended to eat foods that nourish yin, moisturize dryness, nourish the kidneys and replenish essence, such as yam, lily, walnut kernel, ginkgo, gorgon fruit, tofu, milk, black sesame, etc., and avoid spicy and irritating foods.

　　For people who fall in love with fire, supplementation should mainly be based on flat tonic foods. There are two main types of food: one is food that is neither hot nor cold and has a mild nature, such as japonica rice, corn, fruits, vegetables, etc.; the other is food that can replenish both qi and yin, such as yams, American ginseng, honey, etc., and foods that can replenish both yang and yin, such as wolfberry. During this season, you can also eat more vegetables that increase energy, such as spinach, cabbage, red peppers, onions, and eggplants. These vegetables are rich in vitamins or minerals, which can help people strengthen their resistance and survive the cold season.

　　Winter is the season for nourishing the body. It is very beneficial to choose medicated supplements according to your own conditions. It can increase calories to resist cold, strengthen nutrient absorption, and promote health.

　　Three methods are recommended: ① Make a soup with pear, lily, etc., which can nourish yin and moisturize the lungs, and relieve cough symptoms; ② Make a soup with Gastrodia ulmoides, Eucommia ulmoides and fish head, which can relieve headaches, dizziness, and numbness of the limbs, and is beneficial to lowering blood pressure; ③ Angelicae, ginger, and mutton soup can strengthen the spleen and stomach, nourish qi and blood, and can improve immunity when consumed in winter.
