The carbon dioxide exhaled by adults will affect the oxygen concentration inhaled by children, which is not good for health. What's more, if children are afraid of freezing, they will cover their legs and feet in their arms or press them between their legs. As you can imagine, if the weight of an adult's leg is pressed on a child's leg for a long time, it is likely to lead to adverse consequences of the child's leg ischemia or a posture that lasts too long and causes discomfort. So children had better sleep in separate beds, or with adults.
2. Avoid prone position.
The child's physical development is not perfect, especially the heart and brain function is not perfect. If you lie prone for a long time, it will increase the burden on your heart, affect the injection and return of blood, and thus reduce the systemic circulation and prevent you from breathing well. When lying prone, the head leans to one side, and after waking up, the neck is sore and weak, and it is impossible to rest and recover from sleep.
3, avoid blindfolding.
In winter, the temperature is low. Some parents cover the whole body or even the head and face when their children sleep, or leave a narrow gap, thinking that it can be warmer. As we all know, the head and face are covered tightly, and oxygen is not easy to inhale. Children's metabolism is more vigorous than that of adults, and their oxygen demand is more, which easily leads to insufficient oxygen, and children will feel uncomfortable. Some children lift the quilt with their hands and even kick it with their feet, which is easy to catch cold and counterproductive; Some children will sweat profusely, have shortness of breath and even suffocate.
4. Avoid supine posture.
The body and legs are straight, and the arms are placed on the chest, which inadvertently oppresses the lungs and heart, resulting in poor breathing, poor blood circulation, and inability to completely relax muscles. It is also easy to dream, talk in sleep, and cry loudly. After waking up, I feel very tired, which is not conducive to the health of children.
Second, keep warm reasonably.
1, dress reasonably and increase or decrease at any time.
Some parents dress their children too much, and their underwear is soaked with sweat when their children move a little. But children don't say they want to change underwear, and they can only warm and wet clothes according to their body temperature. Doing this every day is easy to catch a cold and bad for your health. At the same time, it should increase or decrease with climate change, and take off your coat before activities or when you enter a heated room.
You'd better wear a mask when you go out to avoid catching a cold.
The outdoor temperature is usually low, so it is best for children to wear masks when they go out. Avoid inhaling too much cold air, leading to other serious diseases, such as pneumonia, myocarditis, lobar pneumonia, acute nephritis, etc.
3. Indoor environment
Pay attention to maintaining good environmental conditions for children's dormitory activities and keep indoor air circulation, especially for children who live with closed doors and windows, heating and air conditioning for a long time, which is not conducive to their health. In an air-conditioned environment, the indoor humidity should be properly adjusted.
Third, a reasonable diet.
1, a reasonable diet can enhance children's disease resistance and cold resistance.
As the saying goes, "fish makes a fire, meat produces phlegm, and green vegetables and tofu keep it safe." Traditional Chinese medicine believes that fishy and greasy foods such as fish, crab, shrimp and fat meat may contribute to dampness and phlegm, and some may also cause allergic reactions and aggravate the condition. Spicy products such as pepper, pepper and ginger can stimulate the respiratory tract, but the cough is aggravated, so we should pay attention to avoid it. It is necessary to supplement foods containing methionine and inorganic salts to improve the body's cold resistance. Therefore, we should eat more foods containing methionine in winter, such as sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, dairy products, leafy vegetables and so on.
2. Medical research shows that people's fear of cold is closely related to the lack of inorganic salts in diet.
Therefore, we should eat more vegetables with roots in winter, such as carrots, lilies, sweet potatoes, lotus roots and Chinese cabbage, because the roots of vegetables contain more inorganic salts. The content of calcium in human body can directly affect the flexibility and excitability of human heart, blood vessels and muscles, and calcium supplementation can also improve the cold resistance of human body. Foods containing more calcium are: milk, bean products, shrimp skin, kelp, Nostoc flagelliforme, sesame sauce and so on. The cold climate has strengthened the oxidation function of human body, and the vitamin metabolism of human body has also changed obviously, which is prone to symptoms such as dry skin, chapped skin, angular stomatitis and cheilitis. Therefore, vitamin B2 should be supplemented in time in the diet, mainly in animal liver, eggs, milk, beans and other foods; Foods rich in vitamin A include animal liver, carrots, pumpkins and dried sweet potatoes. Vitamin C is very important in fresh vegetables and fruits.
Fourth, reasonable exercise.
1, outdoor sports.
Winter is coming, and some parents are afraid that their children will freeze. When the weather is cold, they won't let their children go out. Children's breathing will not be stimulated by the outside air for a long time, and they will not get cold-resistant exercise. After contact with cold patients, it is easy to get sick because of poor resistance to pathogens. Therefore, we should insist that children do more outdoor activities. Proper exercise and exercise can enhance children's physique and immunity, thus resisting the erosion of pathogens on the body. Don't take the children outdoors because you are afraid of freezing.
Step 2 bask in the sun.
When the weather is fine, it is necessary to go out more and get some sunshine. Ultraviolet rays in the sun can kill viruses and bacteria on the surface of the human body, help children absorb calcium and phosphorus, and enhance the body's disease resistance.
In short, if kindergartens and parents can pay more attention to some details of life, cultivate children's good hygiene habits and living habits, and strengthen exercise, they can reduce the chances of children catching a cold and let them grow up healthily and happily.
The above is the common sense of children's winter health care compiled by Bian Xiao. Please pay more attention to the medical education network. We will update more and better information about medical recruitment, exam counseling and medical knowledge at any time.
