How can we prevent diseases?

This paper introduces five methods of cold resistance and disease prevention:

First, always drink boiled water. In winter, the climate is dry and the human body is prone to water shortage. Drinking boiled water often can not only ensure the needs of the body, but also play a role in diuresis, detoxification and waste removal.

Second, drink 5 pieces of ginger jujube soup 10 jujube once a night, which can enhance the cold resistance of human body and reduce diseases such as colds.

Thirdly, washing your face with cold water every morning can enhance your cold resistance and prevent diseases.

Fourth, often put citrus or peppermint oil on the bedside, and the strong smell can destroy the virus. Putting oranges on the bed can prevent rhinitis; Peeling a few oranges before going to bed can relieve phlegm and cough. Put a small bottle of peppermint oil on the pillow and cover it with a leaking cork to let the peppermint oil dissipate slowly. It also has the effect of treating headache and nasal congestion.

5. Sleep at night. In winter, mulberry leaves and autumn chrysanthemums can refresh your eyes, treat colds, and use them as pillow cores, which will refresh your mind, sleep happily and prevent colds.

Seven methods of preventing diseases and recuperating diet in spring

It's early spring, and the temperature is still cold. Recently, the temperature has changed greatly, and it has started to turn from cold to warm. During this period, scientific diet aftercare is very helpful to keep healthy and prevent diseases.

In spring, people are prone to get angry, with yellow tongue coating, bitter taste and dry throat, so the diet should be light and avoid greasy, cold and irritating food. People with obvious symptoms of excessive internal heat can eat some foods that clear the fire, such as mung bean soup, honeysuckle tea, chrysanthemum tea, lotus plumule soaked in water and so on.

Slightly spicy things, such as onions, ginger, leeks, garlic sprouts and so on. Are all foods that nourish spring. There is a saying in the Tang Dynasty Fang that "it is easy to eat leeks in February and March". Eating these foods in spring is good for human yang.

Chinese medicine believes that the liver, one of the five internal organs of the human body, should eat food with stimulating temperature rise in season, while cold and sticky food should be eaten less to avoid hurting the spleen and stomach. Therefore, it is advisable to eat more sweets and less sour food in spring.

"Spring Sleepiness" makes people tired and depressed. Eat more red, yellow and dark green vegetables, such as carrots, pumpkins, tomatoes, green peppers, celery, etc., which is very beneficial to restore energy and eliminate spring sleep.

After the temperature rises gradually in spring, bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms also begin to multiply in large numbers, and their vitality is enhanced, which is easy to invade the human body and cause diseases. Therefore, you should take enough vitamins and minerals in your diet. Fresh vegetables such as cabbage, kale and broccoli, and fruits such as citrus and lemon are rich in vitamin C and have antiviral effects. Yellow-green vegetables such as carrots and spinach are rich in vitamin A, which can protect and strengthen epithelial cells of upper respiratory mucosa and respiratory organs, thus resisting various pathogenic factors.

Diseases such as gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer are prone to occur in spring. In diet, we should avoid taking broth, chicken soup, fish soup, animal offal and irritating condiments rich in creatine, purine base and other substances, because these foods have a strong role in stimulating gastric juice secretion or forming gas to produce abdominal distension, which will increase the gastrointestinal burden.

Chronic bronchitis and bronchitis are also easy to attack in spring. It is advisable to eat more foods with expectorant, spleen-invigorating, kidney-tonifying and lung-nourishing functions, such as loquat, orange, pear, walnut and honey, which will help relieve symptoms.

It's another spring, full of flowers and sunshine, and there is a thriving scene everywhere. However, every spring is the season when diseases are easy to occur and spread. In the season of "blowing my face without cold willows", I occasionally have a physical fatigue, headache and brain fever. Outpatients in major hospitals are often overcrowded, and rhinitis, flu, pneumonia, measles and mental illness come at once, so some people call spring "the spring of many diseases". Medical experts point out that spring is a period when cold and warm air meet frequently, and the weather is changeable, cold and hot. If you don't pay attention to health, it is easy to get epidemic diseases. Busy people should pay close attention to their health while planning their work for a year.

Upper respiratory tract infection (URTI)

Many diseases and viruses are very active, and there are many opportunities for infection. Respiratory tract infections occur all year round, but spring is the season with the most upper respiratory tract infections. Upper respiratory tract infection, commonly known as "cold", the common cold is more acute, and the early symptoms include dry throat, itching or burning sensation, sneezing and stuffy nose.

Seasonal reasons:

In sunny seasons, group activities will increase, the chances of cross-infection will increase, and there will be bad living environment, such as unqualified indoor decoration.

Self-prevention:

① Eat more fruits: eat more dark fruits such as pears, sugar cane, radishes, strawberries and purple grapes. These fruits are rich in antioxidants, which can fight against free radicals that cause immune cell damage and immune function decline.

② Vitamin C and vitamin E supplementation: It has anti-infective effect and can relieve respiratory congestion and edema.

③ Physical exercise: Moderate exercise can increase the interleukin in the blood, thus enhancing the activity of immune cells, eliminating pathogens and improving human immunity.

(4) Adequate sleep: When people sleep, other organs of the body are dormant, while the immune system is active, white blood cells increase, and liver function is enhanced, thus eliminating bacteria and viruses that invade the body.

Allergic dermatitis

Spring is a tough season for people with sensitive constitution, and troubles may appear on the skin, especially on the face. The wind is strong in spring, and there are a lot of floating dust, flying catkins, pollen and other factors that can easily cause allergies, which can easily cause skin allergies. Many people also feel dry skin. After using skin care products, the skin will be dry, red and swollen.

Seasonal reasons:

Because the metabolic capacity of human body is gradually improved in spring, the secretion of sebaceous glands is increased, and the skin is also changing itself. During this period, the skin is very sensitive. If you don't pay attention to protection and maintenance, you will suffer from dermatitis, and women's skin is more susceptible to allergies. There are many reasons for allergies, among which the most common reasons are food, animal fur, mites, insects, a large number of floating pollen in the air, dust, air pollution, pesticides, fertilizers, detergents, rubber shoes, chemical fiber raw materials and little-known fungal allergies. Moreover, seasonal changes make the cells related to allergies in the body unstable, and allergic symptoms also appear accordingly.

Self-prevention:

① Steam your face: pour boiling water into a large bowl and put your face on it for about 15 minutes, or even simpler, just cover your face with a hot towel or soak in a long hot bath, which will help treat allergic dermatitis.

2 Use yogurt as a mask: Yogurt contains a lot of lactic acid, which can play the role of exfoliating mask. It is gentle and won't irritate the skin. Daily use will make the skin soft and delicate.

3 antipruritic: drinking rock sugar tremella soup has a good nourishing effect on the skin.

④ Strengthen skin care and stay away from allergens, especially those with allergies.

⑤ Limit the lipopolysaccharide diet, avoid drinking and eat more fruits and vegetables.

skin disease

In spring, the number of patients with various skin diseases increased significantly. Like viral skin diseases, mainly chicken pox, rubella and so on; Recurrent facial dermatitis, commonly known as spring dermatitis, is more common in women aged 18 ~ 40, mainly manifested as desquamation, itching, dryness and other symptoms, and some manifested as erythema, papules and scales, which were relieved after one week. There are also some women who show increased freckles or brown spots. In addition, papular urticaria caused by mosquito bites and dermatitis caused by contact or inhalation allergies are also common.

Seasonal reasons:

The temperature in the south in spring is higher than that in the north, which is humid and easily infected by fungi, such as tinea corporis and tinea cruris.

Self-prevention:

(1) Ventilation equipment: ensure the ventilation of the living room and office environment, go to places where people gather less or not, drink more water and have more rest.

2 keep your body dry: to prevent fungal skin diseases such as tinea corporis and tinea cruris, you must keep your skin dry and hygienic. If you take a bath and wash your feet, be sure to dry the water and stay away from the hot and humid environment.

③ Diet: A small amount of fishy things such as fish, shrimp, crab and sheep, poultry food such as chicken, duck and goose, irritating food such as onion, ginger, garlic, pepper, coriander and alcohol, or indigestible food such as fried food are not allowed.

④ Clean skin: Avoid mosquito bites and play in unclean waters or grass as little as possible.

Arthritis and other old diseases

The season with the greatest changes in meteorological elements such as temperature, air pressure, airflow and humidity is spring. Old diseases related to temperature changes, such as arthritis and asthma, will naturally recur in the changeable season.

Seasonal reasons:

For diseases affected by climate, the temperature regulation mechanism is much worse than that of healthy people. Moreover, in early spring, when the temperature is high and low, and it is windy and rainy, patients have poor adaptability to changes in meteorological factors and weak resistance, which is likely to lead to recurrence or aggravation.

Self-prevention:

① Keep your feet warm: keep your joints and feet warm. If it is cold, soak your feet with hot water in time to increase blood circulation of joints.

2 carrying drugs: in order to avoid the sudden onset of old diseases, it is necessary to prepare daily medication.

3 food supplement: eat some tonic foods properly to enhance the body's resistance, such as stewed Schisandra chinensis with pig's trotters and papaya egg wine, which can dispel wind and dredge collaterals, eliminate dampness and relieve pain.

Spring fatigue

Every morning at work, I see female colleagues and male colleagues yawning all over the sky in the office area. One or two of them are sleepy, listless and lazy. This is a state of many people, and this phenomenon is called spring sleep. Because of the obvious seasonal changes in the morning and pleasant sleeping environment, most people say that they can't wake up and have a "spring sleep".

Seasonal reasons:

Due to the great climate change in winter and spring, human body needs a process of adaptation and adjustment. In cold winter and early spring, people are affected by low temperature, and the sweat glands of the skin contract to reduce the heat emission in the body and keep the body temperature constant. In spring, the temperature rises, the skin pores stretch, the blood supply increases, and the oxygen supplied to the brain decreases accordingly, which affects the work of the brain and makes the biological clock less accurate.

Self-prevention:

①8-hour sleep: Under normal circumstances, it is enough to sleep for about 8 hours every day. However, increasing sleep may reduce the excitability of the cerebral cortex and make it in a state of inhibition. People will get more and more sleepy, listless and sleepy as they sleep.

2 Spring tea is fragrant: drinking more light fragrant tea will also help to soothe the nerves and relieve spring sleep.

(3) Increase communication between people: telling jokes and anecdotes with friends will have a good effect of solving difficulties.

Wind oil, cool oil, perfume and toilet water, which are rarely used in winter, are also good solutions. Conditional can plant some fragrant and refreshing seasonal flowers and plants, and at the same time increase some work to ease the spring sleep.

⑤ Jogging: Jogging helps cells and tissues get extra oxygen and make the brain awake.

Meningitis should be prevented in spring.

"Meningitis" is short for epidemic cerebrospinal meningitis. Not only are young children susceptible to this disease, but the number of older children is also higher than in previous years. This is a problem worthy of parents' attention. "Meningitis" is a disease that is infected and transmitted through the respiratory tract, which is caused by a bacterial infection called meningococcus. It can lead to high fever, headache, mental decline in children, and even symptoms such as jet vomiting, lethargy, coma and convulsions. A few children can also have dangerous situations such as respiratory failure and shock.

"Meningitis" generally occurs in young children, and children are prone to illness because of their poor self-resistance; Parents should also be vigilant if the immune function of older children is defective (or relatively low). After children are infected, they usually have symptoms such as fever and sore throat, and then there are many spots on their bodies, as small as the size of a needle tip and as large as mung beans and soybeans. These spots merge into sheets, forming bleeding spots, bleeding spots and ecchymosis. With the appearance of rash, the child's mental state is getting worse and worse. Therefore, when a child has a fever, parents should pay close attention to his skin. Once the child has a fever and a rash at the same time, parents should take the child to see a doctor in time to achieve early detection and symptomatic treatment. Don't handle it yourself, just give the child medicine at will. Once a child's classmates or children get sick, parents can give their children some penicillins or compound sulfamethoxazole preventively.

How to prevent meningitis? First of all, because spring is a season with frequent infectious diseases and changeable climate, we should pay attention to increasing or decreasing clothes; Try to take children to crowded and poorly ventilated places; Secondly, it is necessary to keep the air in the living environment clean and circulating; Also insist on exercising, eating reasonably, drinking more water and eating more fresh fruits and vegetables. And the most important thing is: timely vaccination against meningococcal meningitis.

Overview of mumps

Mumps is equivalent to "mumps" in Chinese medicine, commonly known as "toad plague". Chinese medicine believes that it is an acute infectious disease caused by wind and heat. The clinical manifestations are fever and subauricular pain. It can occur all year round, and it is easy to be popular in spring. It can occur at any age, but the highest incidence is in children aged 5-9. Generally, the prognosis is good, and a few children have coma and convulsion syndrome due to serious illness. After puberty, although it is rare to suffer from this disease, complications often occur after infection. Men are prone to testicular swelling and pain, and women are prone to abdominal pain.

Modern medicine believes that mumps is an acute respiratory infectious disease caused by mumps virus, which is characterized by non-suppurative swelling and pain of parotid gland and tends to spread to all tissues of the whole body, with fever and mild discomfort. The common complications are meningoencephalitis of different degrees.

First-aid methods for children with meningitis

Epidemic cerebrospinal meningitis, referred to as "epidemic cerebrospinal meningitis", is a common acute respiratory infectious disease in spring, which is caused by meningococcus. Adults and children can get this disease, but children under 15 are the most common.

After getting meningitis, what are the manifestations? Mild fever, headache, general malaise, red throat and sore throat. After several hours or 1-2 days, the skin, oral mucosa and conjunctiva showed signs of sepsis. The bleeding point is as small as a needle tip and pink as a flake, which is caused by capillary bacterial embolism and blood flowing out of the skin after capillary rupture. Severe meningitis can also cause neck stiffness, jet vomiting, and even coma and spasm. The condition of fulminant meningitis develops rapidly, and shock often occurs within 24 hours, which is characterized by pale face, blue lips, blue skin and decreased blood pressure, which is life-threatening. Young babies often show restless sleep, sudden screams, fixed eyes and even convulsions. At this time, it should be sent to the hospital as soon as possible. Generally speaking, the diagnosis of meningitis is not difficult.

How is epidemic cerebrospinal meningitis spread? Meningococcus causing meningitis is often parasitic in the nasopharynx of healthy people. This kind of person has no symptoms of disease, so we call him a carrier. When patients or carriers cough or sneeze, germs will spread into the air with droplets, and people around them will be infected by breathing droplets with germs. If the infected person's resistance is weak, it will get sick, and there is often an incubation period before the onset, which is generally 1-5 days. Therefore, cutting off the source of infection is the key to prevent "meningitis".

Meningitis diplococcus is easy to die in general environment, and can be killed in cold, heat, dryness, sunlight and common poisons. In winter and spring, Qin Ying needs to change clothes and quilts, and often opens windows for ventilation. During the epidemic of meningitis, don't take children to play in public places, let alone visit sick children's homes, and wear masks when going out. These are all practical measures. In addition, vaccination is carried out once a year and the adsorbed meningococcal vaccine is injected. Kindergartens, schools and other places where children are concentrated can use 0.3% nitrofurazone or 2-3% flavomycin solution to drop nose and spray throat twice a day for 3 consecutive days. Chinese herbal medicines, such as Pogostemon cablin, Eupatorium odoratum, Radix Isatidis and Taraxacum mongolicum, are decocted and taken, all of which have certain preventive effects. Once meningococcal patients are found, they should be treated in isolation immediately.

Prevention of pneumonia in early spring

In early spring, it's warm and cold at first sight. Dr. Franck, Cesar in the United States suggested that the elderly should pay attention to prevent bacteria from invading the lungs and causing pneumonia. There are three ways to prevent it:

First, brushing your teeth before going to bed after meals can reduce the number of bacteria in your mouth and prevent bacteria from making waves on this basis.

Secondly, the elderly should lie on their side as far as possible, which can prevent them from breathing with their mouths open and block the passage of oral bacteria into the lungs.

In addition, you can also take some immunostimulants to enhance the disease resistance of the elderly.

In addition, when people get old, their metabolism and thermoregulation functions will decline. Although they have pneumonia, they do not have a high fever. This is what relatives should pay special attention to, to prevent "careless loss of Jingzhou" and miss the opportunity for treatment.
