What to do if you feel body aches from using air conditioning

When the weather is hot in the summer, people like to use air conditioning, but improper use of air conditioning may cause symptoms of body aches. This may be due to air conditioning syndrome, which has a great impact on health. The probability of feeling joint pain, especially knee pain, is relatively high. Therefore, when using air conditioning, you must control the indoor temperature and the time of using the air conditioner.

What to do if you feel body aches from using air conditioning

1. Do not use electric fans and air conditioners at the same time.

Although the hot summer is really unbearable, it is still recommended not to turn on the fan and air conditioner at the same time; it is also recommended not to set the air conditioner temperature too low. Generally speaking, it is best to set it between 25℃~27℃ during the day, and slightly higher during sleep at night, and it is better to turn on the sleep mode; do not let the cold air blow directly on any part of the body.

2. Properly control the time of using air conditioning.

No matter how hot the weather is, it is recommended to control the time of using the air conditioner appropriately. Do not blow cold air at the air conditioner for a long time. At the same time, it is also recommended to keep the joints and other parts warm, such as covering the knees with a thin silk scarf, wearing silk socks, etc.

3. Massage your joints regularly to maintain exercise.

In addition to the precautions when using air conditioning, you should also massage your joints regularly to maintain exercise in your daily life. Massaging the joints can unblock the body's meridians and help maintain a normal internal environment. When choosing forms of exercise, pay attention to exercises that can strengthen the muscles near the joints, such as swimming, walking, etc.

4. Develop the habit of wearing knee pads regularly.

Whether it is hot summer or spring, autumn or winter, you should develop the habit of wearing knee pads regularly, which can not only keep the knee joints warm but also protect them. Another advantage is that it can protect the knee joints from impact and injury during exercise. If you sit for a long time, you should get up and move around regularly to increase blood supply to your extremities.

5. Control your weight appropriately to reduce the burden.

For adults, it is also important to pay attention to proper weight control, which can minimize the burden on the knee joints and help reduce the probability of joint pain due to cold. There are many ways to control weight, such as controlling the amount of food to make a reasonable combination of morning, noon and evening, and exercising moderately to reduce fat accumulation.

6. Replenish protein nutrients in time.

Another key point is that you should pay attention to consuming more protein nutrients and foods rich in vitamins and minerals in your daily diet; this can promote blood circulation and supply to the joints and avoid changes such as joint degeneration.
