Autumn is coming, and maintenance is very important. After autumn comes, how to maintain joint pain?

Ordinary people can feel the weather changes, such as temperature drop, cold, humidity drop and wind speed increase. The physiological mechanism of the body will also make normal adjustments to this change. For example, when it is going to rain, the air pressure usually decreases and the humidity increases. The liquid in healthy human cells will seep out by itself, leading to an increase in urine volume, thus adapting to the weather changes. For arthritis patients, due to the existence of diseased tissue, the liquid in cells can not be discharged in time with the change of weather, which leads to the cell pressure in the diseased area higher than that in the surrounding normal tissue, which leads to swelling and pain in the diseased area. This is one of the reasons why arthritis patients can predict weather changes.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that wind, cold, summer heat and dampness are the common causes of arthritis. The temperature difference between day and night in autumn is large, and the tolerance of arthritis patients is poor. Symptoms of joint pain may appear after catching cold and getting wet. Therefore, patients with arthritis should form a good habit of paying attention to the weather forecast. When the cold wind strikes, you should put on your clothes in time and do a good job of cold protection and warmth in advance. Although there is an old saying that "spring covers the autumn", in areas where the temperature rises or drops sharply, it is necessary to increase or decrease clothes in time.

In terms of diet, arthritis patients should have a light diet, pay attention to controlling fat intake, and eat less sweets, spicy food and raw cold and hard food. Develop good eating habits and eat more high-protein, high-calorie and digestible foods, such as eggs, lean meat and bean products. Especially eat fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C, because vitamin C can inhibit inflammatory exudation and promote inflammatory absorption.

Arthritis patients need to pay attention to joint exercise. The exercise time is mainly during the day, and it is best to choose sunny days for exercise. Mainly outdoor during the day, mainly rooms in the morning and evening, taking shelter from the wind and cold as the principle. Exercise varies from person to person. The purpose is to move joints and maintain joint function. Be careful not to sit for a long time, but to be more active. The amount of exercise varies from person to person, so don't be overtired, so as not to aggravate the condition. It should be noted that exercise should be strictly controlled in the acute stage of arthritis or when joint swelling and pain are obvious.
