Continue to issue yellow warning for cold wave
It is expected that China will experience widespread cooling, strong winds, and rainy and snowy weather in the coming period. Faced with such extreme weather, we must attach great importance to it and take effective measures to safeguard our own health.
Moderate exercise to protect the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular system
Cold weather can increase the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, especially for the elderly who need to be extra vigilant. It is recommended that elderly friends closely monitor their physical condition and avoid overexertion and emotional fluctuations. At the same time, exercise can improve the body's antioxidant capacity and immune function. Elderly friends should adhere to the principles of "moderate", "not tired", and "persistence", and not stop exercising just because of cold weather. Indoor exercise can be used instead of outdoor exercise. It should be noted that outdoor activities should be avoided in the early morning hours. Instead, choose between 10am and 3pm, when there is ample sunlight and relatively high temperatures, making it more suitable for exercise.
Enhance physical fitness and resist cold invasion
The drastic changes in temperature can easily lead to a decline in the human immune system, thereby increasing the incidence of diseases such as colds and flu. Therefore, in terms of diet, it is recommended to consume more foods rich in vitamins and minerals, such as fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, etc. At the same time, it is important to maintain sufficient sleep and avoid staying up late. In addition, elderly friends should move slowly when getting up in the morning to avoid discomfort caused by rapid changes in body position.
Comprehensively protect and do a good job in keeping warm
The primary impact of a cold wave is a sudden drop in temperature, so the first step in protecting one's health is to do a good job of keeping warm. Pay attention to adding clothing and keeping warm the head, neck, hands, and feet, which are prone to heat dissipation. Choose jackets, hats, scarves, gloves, and shoes with good insulation performance to ensure that all parts of the body remain warm. When staying at home, it is also important to pay attention to the indoor temperature to avoid a large temperature difference between inside and outside, which can cause a cold. In addition, for rhinitis friends, the cold and dry environment is undoubtedly a stimulus to the nasal mucosa. At this time, you can use physiological saline or special nasal spray to clean and wet the nasal cavity to alleviate discomfort.
Laiwo Medical kindly reminds everyone that a cold wave is approaching. Please pay close attention to the weather forecast, take measures to prevent wind and keep warm in advance, and try to minimize outdoor activities. Especially for the elderly and children, it is necessary to strengthen protection. Let us protect our physical health together and safely pass through this cold and long winter.
