Air conditioning has become a necessity for modern families. It can reduce temperature and prevent heat stroke, providing a comfortable and cool resting and working environment. However, if you stay in an air-conditioned room for a long time or use the air conditioner improperly, you will develop an "air-conditioning disease", with symptoms such as dizziness, headache, chills, pain in the limbs, and decreased work efficiency. Therefore, frequent use of air conditioning will be more or less harmful to human health, so we should try to avoid using air conditioning frequently. Now let’s find out what we should do if we feel tired from using the air conditioner! 1. Causes of air-conditioning disease: 1. The air provided by the air-conditioner in the room is repeatedly recycled. The air is cooled or heated, dehumidified or humidified before flowing into the room. This air is not fresh air. Certain harmful substances in low concentrations in the air accumulate due to circulation and are harmful to the human body. At the same time, the number of negative oxygen ions decreases and the number of positive ions becomes excessive, causing endocrine disorders in the human body and causing dizziness, headache, fatigue, loss of appetite, palpitations, chest tightness, etc. Since women have a lower tolerance to low temperatures, they suffer more severe air-conditioning symptoms, resulting in muscle aches all over the body. 2. The environment inside the air conditioner is very suitable for the reproduction of microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses. For example, Legionnaires' disease-causing bacteria and other pathogens can be isolated from the cooling water of air conditioning systems. 3. If the indoor and outdoor environment (temperature, humidity, air flow, etc.) differ too much, it will be difficult for people to adapt and easily lead to colds and nasal allergies. The dry indoor air irritates the respiratory tract, makes the nasal cavity and nasal mucosa easily inflamed, and reduces resistance. Frequent use of circulating air reduces indoor and outdoor air exchange, making the air polluted and easily spreading germs. 4. Air-conditioned rooms often do not have enough natural light to kill bacteria and viruses indoors. 2. Improvement measures: 1. Clean and replace the dust screen regularly to prevent the growth of bacteria and viruses. 2. When you are sweating profusely, do not walk into an air-conditioned room immediately to avoid the sudden contraction of your body pores, which may cause you to catch a cold due to the cold. 3. Try to minimize the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor, and the room temperature should be maintained at 25-27 degrees Celsius. 4. Do not block the windows of the air-conditioned room to allow sunlight to enter the room. 5. The face should not be directly facing the air conditioner, because the blood vessels and nerves in the facial tissues will be strongly stimulated by the cold, which may cause nerve ischemia, hypoxia, and subsequent paralysis, affecting the facial muscles. 6. Don’t stay in an air-conditioned room for a long time. Go outside to stretch your muscles and breathe some fresh air. You should do some outdoor activities to give your skin a chance to sweat, unblock your pores and speed up your metabolism. 3. Salt hot compress method to relieve salt. I think everyone knows it. Salt is an indispensable seasoning in cooking. In fact, salt is not only for seasoning, but also a very good method of Chinese medicine therapy. The salt mentioned here is not the fine salt we eat, but the coarse salt with large grains. Medically speaking, coarse salt has the ability to absorb moisture and cold. We know that salt is also a good desiccant, so its ability to absorb moisture and cold is still very good. Applying it on the body after heating can promote blood circulation and make the body feel very relaxed. In addition, you can also add some herbs that relax muscles and promote blood circulation to the coarse salt, such as moxa, safflower, cyperus rotundus, pepper, ginger, etc. These can promote blood circulation, relax muscles and promote blood circulation, and eliminate the cold in the body. The effect of coarse salt and herbs combined with hot compress is even better. So how do you apply hot compress with coarse salt? In the past, people would fry coarse salt in an iron pan and then wrap it in cloth for hot compress. But now there are many electrically heated coarse salt bags on the market that can be used directly by plugging in, which is more convenient. It is quite comfortable to put one on your shoulders or knees when using the air conditioner. Generally, 15 to 30 minutes of hot compress is enough, and you can apply hot compress two or three times a day. Air-conditioning disease will definitely stay away from you. In addition, brown sugar ginger tea is also a good thing to drive away the cold. Drinking a cup of brown sugar ginger tea while applying hot compress will warm your whole body and make you feel more comfortable. |
