In March, the spring girl came to us quietly with a light footstep, the Central Plains everywhere in the bright spring, spring flowers, full of vitality, suitable for everyone to tread green, excursions. However, we found that the temperature in early spring is a bit unbearable, there is a saying “wear a jacket in the morning and wear a yarn in the afternoon” is not too much, the temperature difference between day and night is very large. This time of year, when cold and warmth are seriously out of whack, is also a time of high incidence of disease, rheumatoid arthritis patients have the most difficult time, patients every spring recurrence, joint swelling and pain is often aggravated, which is directly affected by the changing climate of spring. Therefore, after the Chinese New Year, we find that the number of patients with rheumatoid arthritis in both outpatient clinics and wards has increased significantly. The rheumatoid arthritis patient’s immune defense function is weak, their own regulation ability is reduced, it is easy to catch a cold and lead to disease activity. Spring is windy in the five elements, spring is windy, joint pain is mainly due to wind, cold, wet and other external evil invasion, and wind evil is dominant, so it is important to avoid wind and cold to keep warm. Try to contact as little as possible with cold water; as the saying goes, “spring cover autumn freeze”, it is better to replace cotton clothes late than early, especially for some young women; timely treatment when you have a cold. 2, appropriate exercise. Rheumatoid arthritis joint exercise is very important, Chinese medicine emphasizes “to move to prevent disability”. In the acute stage or joint swelling and pain is obvious, it is best to reduce a large number of sports, to do “both static and dynamic, practice combined”. When the disease is relatively stable, you can increase exercise, such as walking, jogging, taijiquan, yoga and other aerobic exercises, in order to enhance physical fitness and restore function. Exercise time is mainly in the daytime, to be in the outdoor sunshine and windy time is appropriate; conditions can often go on excursions. Exercise should be gradual, can not be too hasty, the day after day to see the qigong. 3, reasonable diet. The physiological characteristics of the liver are like the spring trees, the main control of the body’s Yang Qi rise. If the liver is not draining, it will lead to disorders in the operation of the body’s qi and blood, other internal organs are disturbed and cause disease. The spring diet is based on the principle of flat tonic, focusing on nourishing the liver and replenishing the spleen. The main food is warm and sweet, preferred cereals, such as glutinous rice, black rice, sorghum, millet, oats; fruits and vegetables, such as knife beans, pumpkin, lentils, red dates, cinnamon, walnuts, chestnuts; meat and fish, such as beef, pork belly, crucian carp, perch, grass carp, etc.. If the liver and spleen are already hyperactive in the spring and then consume too much acid, it will cause the liver to be too vigorous, and the liver is bound to hurt the spleen. 4, ensure sleep. Chinese medicine believes that spring is the wind in the five elements, and the five organs of the “liver” in line. The wind is first treated with blood, and the wind is extinguished by the blood. The best protection for the liver is sleep, a reasonable amount of sleep, so that the liver can recuperate, liver and blood, natural wind is not easy to suffer from the disease. Therefore, rheumatoid arthritis patients should avoid staying up late and ensure sleep time. In short, as long as we can ensure proper exercise, enough sleep, a reasonable diet, pay attention to the cold and keep warm, under the guidance of the attending physician, our rheumatoid arthritis will be able to recover very well, we go!
