From this day of the winter solstice, we need to take precautions to prevent diseases and live a healthy winter. So, what diseases do we have to prevent? Respiratory diseases The cold weather, the temperature difference between day and night, people spend most of the time indoors, coupled with the winter habit of tightly closed doors and windows, resulting in insufficient ventilation. Being in such a situation for a long time greatly increases the incidence of respiratory infectious diseases. Influenza, in particular, is particularly prone to outbreaks in collective units and other office premises. For influenza, in preventive measures should pay attention to keep warm, increase physical exercise, and minimize going to public places or places with turbid air. The elderly and the frail can consider the flu vaccine for immunization prevention. Once flu-like symptoms appear, one should seek medical treatment and rest in time. In addition to influenza, people should first keep warm to prevent the common cold and the recurrence of chronic bronchitis and asthma. Coronary heart disease The colder weather after the winter solstice also increases the incidence of coronary heart disease. For patients with coronary heart disease, it is important to pay attention to the prevention of high blood pressure and the prevention of colds. Once the blood pressure is too high or cold, it will increase the burden on the heart and will easily induce coronary heart disease. Therefore, patients with coronary heart disease should have some emergency medication around in case of emergency. You can take some warm Chinese medicine to prevent thrombosis and myocardial infarction, so that you can spend the winter healthily. Cirrhosis Patients with cirrhosis of the liver are more likely to vomit blood during the winter solstice due to the drop in temperature. To avoid this, the first thing to do is to keep warm and prevent constipation. Particular attention should be paid to not to allow the abdominal liver area to be pressured and impacted, and to avoid heavier physical work. In terms of mood, you should try to stay calm and avoid mood swings or even great heat. In terms of diet, you should also avoid fried, hot and even irritating foods. Patients with cirrhosis should be alerted to the sudden onset of symptoms such as dizziness, panic, cold sweats, and cold hands and feet. If vomiting of blood does occur, do not panic, stay calm, stay in bed immediately and keep warm, and get to the hospital quickly. Hypertension Winter is the season when hypertensive patients need to pay extra attention. Most hypertensive patients tend to have high blood pressure in winter. Therefore, it is important to take your medication regularly and measure your blood pressure regularly. It is important to keep warm and to combine work and rest to avoid mood swings that can cause blood pressure to rise. Eat a light diet with little salt, eat more fruits and vegetables, and keep your bowels open. If you experience dizziness, numbness in the fingers, difficulty in movement, or slurred speech, you should seek immediate medical attention because this is usually a precursor symptom of stroke. Emphysema Patients suffering from emphysema should pay more attention to keeping warm during the winter solstice to prevent cold and flu. Do not smoke. Patients with chronic bronchitis and emphysema can easily develop into pulmonary heart disease if they are not careful. Patients with pulmonary heart disease show symptoms of purple lips and edema of the lower limbs. Patients with pulmonary heart disease should also pay attention to the fact that once there is phlegm to be coughing out, so as not to block the respiratory tract caused by secondary infection, phlegm thick, available phlegm, but never use cough suppressants. Frostbite The winter in the north is much colder than the winter in the south, and the temperature is often only a few degrees or even below zero. In such a temperature environment, frostbite can easily grow if you are not careful. To effectively reduce or prevent the occurrence of frostbite, you must first exercise to increase your body’s ability to withstand the cold. For areas that have had frostbite before, focus on keeping warm and preventing moisture to avoid growing frostbite again in the same location. You can eat warm foods such as beef and mutton to improve the nutrition supply and enhance the body’s ability to withstand cold. In addition, malnutrition, sweaty hands and feet, anemia and other diseases may also induce frostbite, and primary diseases should be actively prevented and treated. The winter solstice season should be done early to prevent winter solstice disease work, effective prevention methods to help you safely through the “nine cold days”.
