After the beginning of autumn, these diseases have begun to spread

The beginning of autumn has arrived, and this is the time for us to get rid of the summer heat and welcome the coolness. This is also the time when the temperature is prone to change, and we will feel unwell if we are not careful. What diseases should we prevent at this time?

1. Arthritis

As we enter autumn, the heat and humidity rise on the one hand, and the cold strikes on the other, making it very easy to develop joint pain caused by external cold and internal dampness. Therefore, patients should pay attention to keeping warm, especially after sweating profusely, they should not immediately come into contact with cold water or take a cold shower.

2. Cold

As the weather in autumn changes from hot to cold, it is a high-incidence season for colds and flu. Therefore, we should follow the rule of "cold resistance training starts from early autumn" and pay attention to adding or removing clothes in time as the weather changes.

3. Bronchitis

Chronic bronchitis is sensitive to climate changes. In autumn, the grass withers and leaves fall, and there are more allergic substances in the air, which is one of the causes of bronchitis. Contact with allergic factors should be avoided. In addition, a good mood can enhance the body's immunity and resistance, and fresh air should be circulated in the room.

4. Stomach disease

When the human body is stimulated by cold air, the histamine in the blood increases, gastric acid secretion increases, and spasmodic contractions of the gastrointestinal tract occur. In addition, as the weather turns cooler, people's appetite increases, which increases the burden on gastrointestinal function and leads to recurrence of stomach problems. In addition to keeping warm, such patients should engage in physical exercise to improve gastrointestinal blood circulation, reduce the chance of disease, pay attention to a reasonable diet, eat small meals frequently, eat at regular times and in fixed quantities, and quit smoking and drinking.

5. Pneumonia

Autumn dryness syndrome The part of the human body that is most harmful to autumn dryness is the lungs. Therefore, we should actively strengthen exercise, enhance lung function and prevent the occurrence of pneumonia. Dietary adjustment is also a positive factor. You should eat less spicy food and more food that nourishes yin and moistens the lungs, such as pears, radishes, etc., to increase the moisture in the lungs.

How should we maintain health

1. Diet should dispel heat and reduce body temperature

After the beginning of autumn, although the temperature difference between day and night becomes larger, it is sometimes still very hot during the day, and sometimes the heat is even more oppressive. Therefore, we must continue to prevent heatstroke and cool down without any slackness.

First of all, drink more mung bean soup and lotus seed porridge, and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. Second, reduce cold food. After a long summer, people's bodies have consumed a lot of energy, especially some elderly people, most of whom have weak spleen and stomach. Therefore, when choosing food, it is not advisable to eat too cold food. For example, watermelon, cucumber, grape, etc. are cold in nature. Eating too much may damage the spleen and stomach, so eat less. Third, dietary nutrition needs to be improved. You can eat meat appropriately. There are many foods such as duck meat, fish, lean pork, seafood, etc., which can not only clear away summer heat but also nourish the body and can be eaten with confidence.

2. Nourish the lungs

Autumn dryness can easily damage the lungs. You can eat appropriate amounts of soft and moist foods such as sesame, honey, lily, almonds, dairy products, etc., which can benefit the stomach and promote salivation, and are good for your health. At the same time, you can eat more sour fruits and vegetables. Drink more water, eat less spicy, barbecued, greasy, and stomach-damaging food. Instead, eat more nuts.

In addition, when the lungs are strong, it is easy to affect the liver. The liver governs emotions and regulates qi and blood. In autumn when liver qi is restrained, people are prone to depression and other symptoms. Physiologically, it is easy to cause diseases such as qi and blood imbalance, such as endocrine disorders, menstrual disorders, palpitations, insomnia, etc. When this kind of phenomenon occurs, it can be treated by nourishing yin, softening the liver, and relieving stress.

3. Air-conditioning disease still needs to be prevented and treated

During the hot season, many homes and offices turn on air conditioners. While people enjoy the cool breeze, they are also prone to "air-conditioning disease." Especially after the beginning of autumn, the weather is cooler in the mornings and evenings. If you are not careful, you may experience symptoms such as abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea, colds, and pain in the waist and shoulders. After the beginning of autumn, the weather is cooler in the morning and evening, so the air conditioner should not be turned on for too long. It is best not to turn it on at night or only turn on the dehumidifier. In this way, you can cool down and relieve heat, and prevent air-conditioning disease. Second, people who live in air-conditioned environments should drink ginger soup frequently. Ginger has three major effects: inducing sweating and relieving exterior symptoms, warming the stomach and stopping vomiting, and detoxifying, and can effectively prevent and treat "air-conditioning disease". Third, patients with chronic diseases such as asthma, chronic bronchitis and people with weak gastrointestinal function should not turn on the air conditioner. Avoid direct blowing or cover the abdomen if necessary.
