The solar term of heavy snow is one of the twenty-four solar terms, which generally falls on February 7th (6th or 8th in some years) at 65,438+every year, when the sun reaches 255 degrees of the yellow meridian. The heavy snow season also means entering the coldest time in winter, and people should pay more attention to keep warm at this time. Let's take a look at how to maintain health during the heavy snow season, what to do after the heavy snow, and what to pay attention to.

First, keep warm, protect your head, warm your chest and strengthen your feet.

It's cloudy in winter, and it's warm when it's cold, so it's necessary to prevent the cold from invading. In the cold and snowy solar terms, we must first increase or decrease clothes according to climate change; Wearing a hat, a scarf and a pair of warm shoes is the best choice for cold protection. Secondly, patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, arthritis and digestive system diseases should pay more attention to cold and warmth, and wear less coats when going out. If you feel unwell, you should take the initiative to go to the hospital for examination. But don't warm up suddenly and violently, especially avoid thick clothes and fur, getting drunk with fire, roasting your abdomen and back, and suddenly warming up and sweating.

Head protection: The head is the "All-Yang Meeting". When the ambient temperature is 15, the heat lost from the head accounts for 30% of the total body heat. If the temperature is 4, the total heat lost from the head accounts for 60%. Cold weather will make blood vessels contract, and people will have headaches and dizziness. For people with cerebrovascular diseases, cold can easily induce cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, it is very important to keep your head warm.

Warm chest: the cold in winter attacks the human body, and the chest and abdomen bear the brunt. After catching cold in the chest and abdomen, it is easy to break the yang in the body, which will lead to a heart attack. In addition, cold can also induce gastrointestinal diseases, so the warmth of the chest and abdomen can not be ignored.

Healthy feet: After the solar term of heavy snow, some women feel cold easily because of the cold weather. Modern medical research believes that women are particularly afraid of cold in winter because of poor resistance and cold resistance caused by menstrual pregnancy and puerperium or anemia, gastrointestinal diseases and chronic diseases. On the other hand, if women are undernourished and have low blood pressure or hypothyroidism, it will also cause local or systemic poor blood circulation, especially the peripheral blood vessels of limbs, which will lead to cold hands and feet.

The blood supply of the foot farthest from the heart is slow and little, and the subcutaneous fat layer is thin, so the warmth retention is poor. Once caught cold, it will reflexively cause the capillary contraction of respiratory mucosa, which will reduce the disease resistance and lead to upper respiratory tract infection. Therefore, we should pay attention to keep our feet warm in snowy days. At the same time, we should always keep our feet clean and dry, wash our socks frequently, wash our feet with warm water every day, massage and stimulate the acupoints of our feet, and walk for more than half an hour every day to exercise our feet.

Second, drink more to prevent dryness.

Heavy snow is a solar term, and the indoor climate is dry. Although sweating and urination decrease in winter, cells in the brain and various organs of the body still need water to nourish them to ensure normal metabolism. The reduction of fresh vegetables will cause vitamin B deficiency and induce angular stomatitis.

So drink more water and eat more fruits and vegetables in winter. Because it is dry indoors and outdoors and the air humidity is very low, it is necessary to drink plenty of water and replenish water in time to ensure the normal metabolism of organs. Generally, the daily hydration amount should not be less than 2000 ~ 3000ml (that is, "8 glasses of water", one cup is about 300 ml).

Third, warm porridge

In this solar term, people can make up for it by eating habits. In diet, eat more warm foods such as garlic, leeks, peppers, ginger, coriander, onion, yam, longan, chestnuts and preserved apricots to help keep out the cold. However, the winter diet should not be sticky and cold. Due to dry weather and improper diet, it is easy to get angry and suffer from aphtha, so we should pay attention to controlling the amount. At the same time, pay attention to eat less meat, eat more vegetables and warm fruits and drink more porridge. Experts advocate drinking hot porridge in the morning and dieting and nourishing the stomach at dinner. Especially mutton porridge, glutinous rice and red date porridge, lily porridge, eight-treasure porridge, millet milk and rock sugar porridge. , the most suitable for taking.

Fourth, ventilate and go to bed early

Indoor air pollution is dozens of times more serious than outdoor air pollution in winter. Therefore, while maintaining the normal indoor temperature, we should always open the doors and windows for ventilation to purify the indoor air pollution and refresh our brains. In winter, the days are short and the nights are long, especially at night. Go to bed early to nourish yang, and get up late to solidify yin essence. So we should insist on going to bed early and getting up late, don't stay up late, don't get up early and do morning exercises, "wait for the sun to come out".

Fifth, adjust the mentality and protect your eyes.

In winter, "Yin flourishes while Yang declines", which makes people depressed physically and mentally. Pay attention to maintaining emotional stability in heavy snow and solar terms.

Many diseases are caused by emotions. For example, due to emotional instability and irregular daily life, glaucoma, a blinding eye disease, often occurs in cold winter. Its symptoms are: eye pain, eye swelling, decreased vision, accompanied by headache, nausea and other symptoms. Therefore, we must maintain emotional stability at ordinary times and avoid mental tension and excessive excitement; Pay attention to the law of daily life, don't stay in the dark for a long time, to prevent the pupil from expanding and causing the intraocular pressure to rise; When the weather is fine, take part in outdoor activities moderately, because this can increase the oxygen supply of fundus blood vessels, reduce the accumulation of carbon dioxide in the blood and avoid the increase of intraocular pressure; In bad weather with cold climate, it is necessary to minimize going out to reduce the impact on the eyes.

In addition, if it snows heavily and the snow doesn't melt, people will easily suffer from "snow blindness", that is, "snow ophthalmia".

The main cause of the disease is that ultraviolet rays in sunlight are reflected by snow to the cornea of human eyes, causing corneal damage. Its symptoms are photophobia, tears, foreign body sensation, itching, tingling and edema, and it is not advisable to stay in the snow for too long. For example, when working or traveling in the snow, you should wear sunglasses with anti-ultraviolet function. Especially friends in the northeast, we should pay more attention.

Therefore, we should pay attention to maintaining emotional peace during the heavy snow and solar terms. The best way to change depression is to do more activities, such as jogging, dancing, playing billiards and table tennis. These are all good ways to get rid of winter boredom and keep your spirits up.
