Lung dysfunction

Now the air pollution has become more and more serious, our lungs have been seriously damaged, smog weather can be seen everywhere, smog particles are very harmful to our body, toxic particles such as PM2.5, if inhaled into the body, will cause serious damage to the lungs. Now the phenomenon of lung dysfunction has become very common, and more and more people have lung diseases.

Nowadays, the air pollution problem is very serious, and lung health has received more and more attention. There are already many lung diseases, and everyone should be aware of lung dysfunction. We should be able to understand the manifestations of lung dysfunction in time.

Check your forehead to see if your lung function is good

forehead

The normal complexion of the forehead is slightly whiter than the surrounding complexion, just like red wrapped in transparent white silk. The best is white with a hint of red. The Yin Tang and the two sides of the Yin Tang are where the Taiyang Meridian is located. According to traditional Chinese medicine, the Taiyang Meridian is the body's barrier and controls the body's surface. When evil wind and cold invade the human body, the first part they invade is the Taiyang meridian. Therefore, when you are affected by external wind evil, changes will appear here first. The forehead becomes drier, and then the disease color will appear: wind-cold turns blue, wind-heat turns red, heatstroke turns yellow and red, wind-dryness turns white, and rheumatism turns yellow and turbid. Finally, it spreads to above the eyebrows on both sides and even to the entire face.

If the forehead is not white with a hint of red, but turns bright red like an apple, it means that there is heat in the lungs. When there is heat, the blood vessels will dilate and the blood will increase, so this area will become particularly red.

The complexion of the forehead may be slightly different for different people. For example, pregnant women with rosy foreheads have sufficient qi and blood, and generally both mother and child are healthier; for infants and young children, children with darker, paler or drier foreheads have weak lung qi and generally low resistance, and are more likely to get bronchitis or pneumonia, and the treatment process is longer; for adults, those who often talk, sing, and play musical instruments are prone to lung qi deficiency or even kidney qi deficiency due to frequent qi consumption and damage to qi, and the complexion of the forehead also looks dull.

These people should have lung function tests

People with early lung function damage but no symptoms can recover through appropriate exercise. Walking, jogging, swimming, and Tai Chi are all suitable. At the same time, pay attention to nutrition. Some patients with impaired lung function are in a state of high metabolism and their energy consumption is several times higher than that of normal people. Therefore, this group of people, especially those with chronic diseases such as COPD, should eat small meals frequently and can appropriately consume more high-protein foods and vegetables.

In order to detect the disease early, five types of people must undergo lung function tests

Long-term smoking

One is the long-term smoker. Second, repeated coughing and sputum production indicates the presence of airway or lung disease.

Third, those who feel chest tightness and shortness of breath after activities, especially those who feel the condition gradually worsens.

Fourth, people who are exposed to polluted gases and dust in the working environment.

Fifth, patients with respiratory diseases, such as bronchial asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

In addition to its diagnostic function, the color of the lungs can also be used for health care. When your lungs feel uncomfortable, you can use your thumb to vigorously massage the space between your eyebrows, called Yintang, to regulate the lung qi. Generally, the symptoms can be relieved after 20 minutes.

Everyone must understand the manifestations of lung dysfunction. Our lungs are very fragile now. Air pollution, the fumes we come into contact with in daily life, especially for people who cook frequently, the indoor air is not very good, etc., will threaten the health of our lungs. Therefore, everyone should do a good job of preventing lung diseases in daily life.
