The Central Meteorological Station issued an important press release saying that in the coming week, there will be a wide range of rain and snow and strong cooling weather in the central and eastern regions of China.
Among them, there will be a wide range of freezing rain and snow weather in the southern region from 20th to 23rd.
The health headline reminds you of the following points. Please forward them to your friends and family as soon as possible:
Keep warm again
With the growth of age, the functions of various systems and organs of our middle-aged and elderly people begin to decline gradually, and the metabolic level of our body also gradually begins to decline. The body cannot produce enough heat to resist low temperatures, so naturally it will be more afraid of cold than young people.
As you get older, you are especially prone to colds. If you do not adapt to the cold weather at once, you may even cause serious cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Dress more
The elderly should wear suitable warm clothes. However, the following aspects should also be paid attention to:
1. Clothes should be light and weighed, and the neck, head and feet should be kept warm.
2. Pants should not be too long or too loose, to avoid stepping on the bottom of the trousers and tripping;
3. In rainy and snowy weather, attention should be paid to the selection of materials with lines on the soles and anti-skid materials, and to avoid wearing slippers without heels or shoes with unstable high heels.
Drink less
Drinking will make you warm, but it doesn’t help you keep warm.
Alcohol expands blood vessels, accelerates blood circulation, and emits heat from the body to the body surface faster and more through the skin. It also accelerates muscle metabolism and releases energy to the outside of the body too quickly. In this way, the body surface feels warm, but the heat in the body is consumed instead. Therefore, drinking not only does not really warm the body, but also accelerates the heat consumption and is easy to chill afterwards.
For friends with liver problems, hypertension and diabetes, it is better not to drink.
Electric blanket
1. Don’t fold the electric blanket or roll it up.
2. Never wash with water. Washing with water will damage the coil and easily cause electric shock.
3. When buying regular products, you must buy electric blankets produced by regular manufacturers and passed the tests. Don’t be greedy for cheap prices.
4. Do not spread thick blankets and quilts on the surface of the electric blanket, otherwise it is easy to overheat and become a potential safety hazard. Just spread a thin blanket.
5. Turn off the power in time. Although some models of electric blankets have overheating and power failure mode, it is recommended to turn off the power in time when not in use to be on the safe side.
6. Drink plenty of water. It is already dry in winter, and it is more likely to cause skin dryness if you use electric blankets. Drinking plenty of water and applying moisturizing body lotion will help.
Foot soaking should be suitable.
Soaking feet is OK, but the temperature should not be too high, and special people should not soak easily.
For example, friends with varicose veins, venous thrombosis, arterial occlusion and ischemia, and friends with diabetic foot.
Attention should be paid to eating hot pot.
Hot pot is the most suitable for cold weather.
However, attention should be paid to healthy eating. The dip at the bottom of the pot should be light. Gout patients should eat less seafood and not beer. Friends with hypertension should eat less salt. Diabetes patients should control the total amount. Eat vegetables before eating meat, so that they can be full earlier and eat less.
Have some ginger
This is a rumor.
Some people will think that eating ginger can help warm up and can eat a little. It doesn’t matter sooner or later.
Chinese people may prefer fresh ginger, but in fact they can also choose ginger powder or ginger extract. One gram of ginger powder is roughly equivalent to about 4 grams of fresh ginger. You can try it according to the amount of about 4 grams of fresh ginger per day.
