The reason why you feel sore all over after using the air conditioner

In summer, many people like to use air conditioning and feel very comfortable staying in an air-conditioned room. However, if you do not pay attention to controlling the temperature of the air conditioner, or use it for a long time, it will often cause some symptoms. This is called air-conditioning syndrome. For example, it can cause body aches. Body aches are related to dry air and the growth of microorganisms. In addition, excessive cold stimulation can easily cause body aches.

The reason why you feel sore all over after using the air conditioner

1. Dry air: Due to the presence of air conditioning, the humidity in the room is too low, which will have an adverse effect on the mucous membranes of the eyes, nose, etc., leading to mucosal diseases. 2. Microbial breeding: Air-conditioned rooms are tightly sealed, have poor air circulation, low air volume, windows that are not opened for long periods of time, and insufficient sunlight, making it easy for pathogenic microorganisms to breed. According to statistics from relevant experts, in a closed room with air conditioning, after 5 to 6 hours, the indoor oxygen level dropped by 13.2%, the Escherichia coli level increased by 1.2%, the red mold level increased by 1.11%, the diphtheria level increased by 0.5%, and other harmful respiratory bacteria all increased to varying degrees. The air ducts and hair dryers of air conditioners are also suitable for the survival and reproduction of germs and viruses. The germs and viruses blown out by the air conditioner can easily cause large-scale infections. 3. The temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is large, and the body cannot adapt well to the cold stimulation. The human body's autonomic nervous system is difficult to adapt, which will cause disorders in the body's biological rhythms and autonomic nervous system functions. The "cold" feeling can also excite the sympathetic nerves, causing the blood vessels in the abdominal cavity to contract and the gastrointestinal motility to weaken, thus causing many corresponding symptoms; it can cause some people's surface blood vessels to contract sharply and blood flow to be poor, causing the joints to become cold and causing joint pain.

Preventing air-conditioning disease

1. Do not turn on the air conditioner or fan all night

The elderly, children, people with weak constitutions and those suffering from chronic diseases are most susceptible to heat stroke and should strengthen protection. When sleeping, taking a nap or enjoying the cool air, do not avoid the heat too much and seek coolness. Especially when sleeping at night, you should use electric fans reasonably, not blowing directly on your head or with too much intensity. The air-conditioning temperature should not be set too low, keeping it above 26℃. For families with children, the air conditioning temperature should be around 28℃.

Don't turn on the air conditioner all day and all night. Staying in a closed air-conditioned room for a long time is not only easy to catch a cold, but the pathogenic microorganisms that breed in the air can also easily make people sick. Generally speaking, turn on the air conditioner for 2-3 hours and open the windows for ventilation. This will keep you cool and help air circulation.

2. Drinking some ginger and brown sugar water can relieve

If you suffer from Yinshu, you can drink some Huoxiang Zhengqi water to relieve the symptoms. Many citizens are accustomed to drinking mung bean soup to relieve heat after suffering from heatstroke, but mung bean soup is cool in nature and is ineffective in relieving the heat caused by cold air, and may even aggravate the condition. Ginger and brown sugar water is very effective in relieving summer heat. Normally, you can also drink some ginger soup every day, which can protect the spleen and stomach and prevent "yin heat".
