Winter health knowledge

First, diligently open the window against winter "oxygen"

Every winter, some people will feel uncomfortable breathing, increase the number of colds, and even appear drowsiness, unresponsiveness, fatigue, lack of energy, chest tightness, shortness of breath, headaches and other symptoms. This is related to people’s reactions to the outside world at the time of the season, but another important incentive is the lack of oxygen supply in winter.

In winter, when the temperature is low, people spend more time in confined spaces because they are afraid of cold and do not pay attention to ventilation and ventilation. Indoor air cannot be replenished and replaced in time, and air quality deteriorates. Coupled with the reduction of outdoor activities in winter, hypoxia can happen. Meteorologists call it "hypoxia syndrome." If the oxygen deficiency time is too long, the human body will experience a series of discomforts, and in severe cases it will also endanger life safety.

According to tests conducted by the relevant national authorities, the oxygen concentration is usually about 21% in places where oxygen is better. After a night of sleep in a confined bedroom, the oxygen concentration will drop to about 17% or even lower. Winter ventilation is often the most convenient way to prevent "hypoxia syndrome" in winter. Therefore, in the winter, ventilation and ventilation must be properly used to benefit people's physical and mental health and avoid "hypoxia syndrome."

Second, pay attention to the bath temperature to prevent dry skin

The skin is a very sensitive organ. In winter, the skin's blood vessels are often in a contracted state. The secretion of sweat glands and sebaceous glands is significantly reduced. There are also people who have pruritus, redness, and severe irregular cleavage. Peeling, this phenomenon is most obvious in the lower extremities. Among them, this is related to the way you take a bath. Some people are afraid that they will not be clean. They are used to bathing repeatedly with bath soap and hot water as in the summer. The oil on the skin surface is repeatedly washed away, and the condition of dry skin becomes more and more serious. There are also some skin diseases that occur frequently in autumn and winter, such as psoriasis (psoriasis), atopic dermatitis, and ichthyosis, and the condition can also occur or worsen due to dry skin.

Countermeasures: In the winter, you should pay attention to the bathing technique and frequency in love and cleanliness. Don't use too many baths and the water temperature is too high. Try to use a bath containing moisturizing ingredients.

Before and after bathing in winter, please also pay attention to the following 7 points:

1, drink a cup of hot water before taking a bath, you can add due to capillary expansion caused by a large number of water loss.

2. Apply body lotion to the body after bathing to lock the surface of the skin to relieve dry itching.

3. After bathing, dry the entire body with a dry towel and wear clothes, shoes and hats as soon as possible to prevent a cold.

4, bath rubbing force should not be too much, this will damage the skin's squamous epithelial cells, reduce the skin's natural protective function.

5, usually pay attention to drink plenty of water, eat more fruits, vegetables, to provide enough skin moisture, skin sebum of their own protective effect on the skin is certainly the best.

6, in a relatively dry place, you can wipe some urea grease or petrolatum every day. Usually you should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits rich in vitamin B and vitamin C.

7, should not take a bath when fever. When the human body temperature rises to 38°C, the body's caloric consumption can increase by 20% and the body is weak. At this time, the bath is prone to accidents. Third, the electrostatic hazard, an "anti-" two "put"

In the dry winter, people often encounter this situation: in the morning, when the hair is combed, the hair will often “gone up” and become more and more chaotic; when they shake hands, the fingers will suddenly feel acupuncture-like sting When the door handle is pulled open and the faucet is turned on, it will be "electrically charged" and it will give out a "bang and bang" sound... Many people know that this is because the static electricity is "turbulent" but it does not mean that this is the case. Experts remind that static electricity is not as much as many people think. At that time, if you accumulate too much, there will be many adverse effects on human health.

Since the time for frictional electrification is extremely short, the amount of electric current generated is very small, and therefore, static electricity generally does not cause any danger to the human body. However, static electricity has many adverse effects on human health: it stimulates human skin and causes skin moisture to decrease. Increased skin dryness and itching. The accumulation of static electricity will change the normal potential difference of the human body surface, affect the organs, especially the physiological process of the heart and normal conduction, causing ventricular premature beats and arrhythmia.

The skin of the elderly is relatively younger than young people, coupled with aging and anti-interference capabilities of the cardiovascular system of the elderly, which makes older people more susceptible to static electricity. Older people with various types of disease may have static electricity. To aggravate the condition or induce cardiac arrhythmias such as premature ventricular contractions.

For children, excessive static electricity, if piled up in the child's body, can easily cause abnormalities in the membrane current conduction of the brain nerve cells, affecting the central nervous system and the physiological balance of the body, which can make children feel uncomfortable. In addition, static electricity can absorb various dust and bacteria, children's skin is delicate, prone to erythema, redness, itching, skin irritation, pigmentation and so on. Sudden shock of electric shock will make children feel frightened. It may also cause children to move abnormally and increase the incidence of accidents.

To deal with static electricity, one must prevent it, and the other is to release it.

To prevent the occurrence of static electricity, indoor areas must maintain a certain degree of humidity, and indoor areas should be mopped up, sprinkled with water, or humidified by a humidifier. Wear chemical fiber clothes as little as possible in autumn and winter. Underwear, quilt cover, bed sheets, etc. must use pure cotton products or silk products. If the outerwear fabrics are chemical fiber fabrics, they can be washed with antistatic detergent. At the same time, it is necessary to bathe diligently and frequently change clothes in order to eliminate the static charge accumulated on the surface of the human body. Comb the best use of wooden comb, found that the hair can not be combed, the comb immersed in water for a while, after static elimination, you can comb the hair docile.

People who regularly operate computers or who are “surrounded” by home appliances should drink plenty of water, wash their faces, maintain the humidity of the office environment, and avoid electrostatic hazards generated by the electric field of computer screens or household appliances, preventing them from irritating the skin on the face for a long time. "Computer spots." Household appliances should be scattered and unplugged when not in use. Try not to put or put less household appliances in your child's bedroom, so as to avoid static electricity generated by the electric field generated when the human body and the appliance are in close contact.

Many people are afraid to open the door in the winter, because the hand is hit by a “click” when it touches the door handle. Before touching the door handle or the faucet, you can touch the wall with your hand to “discharge” the static electricity from the body, so that static electricity is not Will hurt yourself. In addition, barefoot activity on the ground can also release static electricity accumulated on the body. Fourth, there is stress in winter foot bath

When it entered the winter, people were increasingly chanted and the sale of various types of foot massagers on the market was booming. Experts pointed out that hot-water bathing can indeed play a role in detoxifying the body and warming the body, but bathing too long can be harmful.

Bathing in hot water is good for the body, especially in the winter. There is a saying in traditional Chinese medicine called “cold from the feet”. In winter, the weather is cold, and the body is more prone to qi stagnation, cold muscle soreness, cold hands and feet caused by poor peripheral nerve circulation, and cold stomach pain caused by low temperatures. All kinds of discomfort.

Adhere to hot feet can promote blood running, clearing the meridians to relieve symptoms and cold, to ease the cold hands and feet, expansion of capillaries, promote blood supply to the brain and other effects. Yin Zhichao suggested that adding ginger, pepper, and other accessories in hot water can improve the effect of cold wind and cold.

Hot bathing is not for everyone. Yin Zhichao pointed out that there are also taboos in hot water foot baths. For example, people suffering from athlete's foot, when the condition is severe enough to blistering, should not be hot feet, because it is very easy to cause wound infection.

Some people like to use electric foot bath to soak their feet. It takes a few hours. In general, it is better to soak your feet for 20 minutes before bedtime. It is better not to exceed half an hour. In particular, if the elderly people spend too much time on their feet, they may experience sweating, palpitation, and other symptoms. Pregnant women should not use hot water for a long time.

In addition, some of the foot bath devices are slogans such as "Can cure all diseases," "Bodybuilding," and "Family and age-related," and "have curative effects on various types of intervertebral disc herniation."

Yin Zhichao pointed out that foot baths are mainly locked in the scope of health care and have no therapeutic effect. In addition, many people use the foot massager directly to adjust the massage function. Experts pointed out that

Before making a foot massage, you must first use hot water to soak your feet. This will increase blood circulation, relax your muscles, relax your ligaments, and avoid injury during massage.

Fifth, do not enter the wrong winter sex

There is a saying in our country’s civil society that all things in the world have the laws of “spring life, summer long, autumn harvest, and winter hide”. Winter is the season when everything is stored and bred. People's sex life should also be stored in accordance with this rule. It should be as easy as possible to reduce the frequency of sexual life, or even sex life. Otherwise, it will easily lead to weak qi and kidney, and it will inevitably lead to illness. . Experts point out that this argument is actually not scientific.

In fact, the normal regular sex life will only make the couple physically and mentally healthier. Both husbands and wives have been relieved of physical sexual depression because they have obtained sexual pleasure and satisfaction. They are psychologically gratified. On the contrary, if the entire winter breaks the law of sexual life in the past, few or even no sex lives, it will cause both physical and psychological discomfort to both spouses. Those who lack adequate sexual love for a long time will have mental disorders such as mental fatigue, mental emptiness, depression and so on, resulting in sexual function. Obstacles affect the couple's feelings and even lead to divorce.

Industry experts also believe that human sexuality cannot be "stored." In fact, the opposite is true. The sexual vitality of men and women in youth is stronger, and their sexual vitality is stronger in later life stages. At the same time, do not think that men lose their sperm is a loss. In fact, from the sexual maturity to the old age, the testis of the spermatozoa has always maintained its vitality, which means that many sperm are produced every day. Even if there is no ejaculation, there will be a large number of sperms themselves. Therefore, we do not need and cannot control the sexual life to store sperm and storage capacity.
