The primary reason is the cold. In low temperature, blood vessels will also shrink into a ball, causing ischemia and hypoxia of important organs and inducing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
The second is the dry climate. The dryness of the lips, nose and other parts of the body can easily provide a channel for bacteria to invade in a big way, while the weakened cilia function of the respiratory tract also makes it difficult to discharge germs, increasing the chances of morbidity, while if the lack of hydration, it is also easy to cause blood thickening, triggering conditions such as thrombosis;.
The third is the temperature difference between day and night in winter. The human body is not easy to adapt to the hot and cold changes, the nervous system, endocrine system dysfunction, may induce ulcerative bleeding and other acute diseases.
The fourth is due to people’s habitual “cat winter” habit. This habit makes many people sedentary in winter, poor indoor ventilation in winter, family humidity is not easy to control, resulting in human metabolism, poor blood circulation, easy to induce pulmonary embolism, neurasthenia and other diseases.
