The more clothes you wear, the warmer they are?

After the beginning of winter, there is a knack for "cold protection and warmth"

　　After the beginning of winter, the cold wind was getting bitter every day.

The sudden change of weather makes many people feel uncomfortable, and they may get sick if they don't pay attention.

Experts from Nanjing Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine reminded that after the beginning of winter, we must pay attention to preventing the "five colds".

　　To prevent neck cold, wear a scarf and wear a stand-up collar

　　Autumn and winter are the seasons of high incidence of cervical spondylosis.

According to Kong Xiaohai, chief physician of the Department of Orthopedics at Nanjing Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, the neck is the "fortress" of the human body, not only full of blood vessels, but also many important acupoints, such as Dazhui, Fengchi, and Jianjing, which extends to the shoulders.

　　Wearing a stand-up collar is a good way. It can not only block the cold wind and keep your neck warm, but also prevent the blood vessels in the head and neck from contracting due to cold. It has certain benefits in preventing hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and insomnia.

In addition, a decent scarf, silk scarf or shawl can also help keep warm.

　　Prevent nose cold, rub your nose with cold water in the morning and evening

　　"Cool dryness" is more obvious after Lidong, and rhinitis has become a big trouble for many elderly people.

Yang Ming, director of the Department of Otolaryngology, Nanjing Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, said that washing the nose with cold water every morning and evening is beneficial to enhance the immunity of the nasal mucosa and is a good way to prevent rhinitis.

　　When washing the nose with cold water, rubbing the wing of the nose by the way can improve the blood circulation of the nasal mucosa and help relieve the symptoms of allergic rhinitis such as nasal congestion and sneezing.

　　Prevent lung cold, drink hot porridge to dispel cold

　　Runny nose, cough, headache... The cold and cold are the most common problems in winter.

Li Fang, director of the Department of Pulmonary Diseases of Nanjing Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, pointed out that for milder symptoms, you can choose some ingredients that relieve the cold and relieve the lungs. The fairy porridge in the "Huizhitang Experience Prescription" of the Qing Dynasty is good.

There is a song saying: "A handful of glutinous rice is boiled into soup, seven green onions and seven slices of ginger, boiled and mixed with half a cup of vinegar, it is safe for colds and flus."

After warming up, I went to bed with a quilt, slightly hot and sweaty.

Take 1 time each morning and evening for two days.

　　Prevent waist cold, rub the waist with both hands to warm the kidney yang

　　The waist is where the "band veins" (the meridians surrounding the waist) go, especially the back waist on both sides of the spine where the kidneys are located.

Xu Meichang, director of the Nephrology Department of Nanjing Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, reminded that the kidneys love warmth and dislike cold, and rubbing the waist with both hands can help to clear the pulse, strengthen the waist and spine and strengthen the kidney.

　　The specific method is: After rubbing the heat with both hands, press tightly on the waist and eyes, stop for a while, and then rub down to the tail vertebra (Changqiang point).

Do it 50~100 times each time, once every morning and evening.

　　Prevent feet from being cold, often do foot baths

　　According to Chinese physician Wang Dongxu, director of the Department of Geriatrics, Nanjing Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, a foot bath is not the same as a hot foot bath.

There are three points to pay attention to when taking a foot bath: The first is the temperature. The water temperature should be around 40℃, and the ankle joints should be submerged in water.

The second is time. Soak for 20-30 minutes each time. Add hot water from time to time to keep the water temperature. It is better for the skin to appear reddish after soaking.

The third is massage, dry after the foot bath, massage the toes and the soles of the feet for 2 to 3 minutes.

The last thing to note is that it is best to go to bed within half an hour after finishing the above three points to ensure the effect of the foot bath.

　　In addition, the foot bath should not be performed immediately after a meal, and the water temperature of diabetic patients should not be too high.

Those with burns, impetigo, chickenpox, measles, chapped skin on the feet, and foot trauma are not suitable for foot baths.

Dry your feet immediately after the foot bath, and keep your feet warm.

If you feel uncomfortable during the foot bath, you should stop it immediately and seek medical attention if necessary.
