Sugar friends should pay special attention to keeping warm in winter to prevent colds.
"Diabetic patients often get worse in winter and have various cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications." Wang Xin, deputy director of endocrinology department of China-Japan Friendship Hospital, said that cold can stimulate sympathetic nerves and increase catecholamine in the body, leading to higher blood sugar and platelet aggregation to form thrombosis.
Wang Xin reminded that sugar friends should also prevent colds in winter. Diabetes patients have high blood sugar, bacteria are not easy to leave when they come, and infection will continue. The dry weather in winter makes it easier for people who love sugar to stimulate nerve endings, leading to itchy skin. Therefore, we should pay attention to moisturizing to prevent dry skin, especially fragile and sensitive parts such as calves and feet, so as to avoid peeling and chapping. Be sure to apply skin care milk after bathing and washing your feet.
Scientific diet
It is not recommended for ordinary people to eat energy bars in large quantities.
Tang Molian, a nutritionist in the Clinical Nutrition Department of Renji Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, said that energy bars are mainly carbohydrates, which can provide energy quickly or continuously and keep people in good condition under high-intensity exercise. Carbohydrates in energy bars can come from oats, rice, bean paste, fruit paste, dried fruit, fruit juice or added sugar. Carbohydrate takes less time to digest than fat and protein, so the energy bar is especially suitable for people who do high-intensity exercise, such as marathon runners.
It should be reminded that people with high blood sugar are not suitable for eating this kind of products, otherwise it will cause a rapid rise in blood sugar and cause various discomfort. The general population is also not recommended to eat in large quantities, so as not to bring the risk of getting fat.
Traditional Chinese medicine health care
"I can't sleep if I'm bored." Try Buzhong Yiqi Decoction.
The more tired you are during the day, the more sleepless you are at night. This state is called "virtual annoyance and sleepless" in traditional Chinese medicine, which is caused by the weakness of body meridians. Yan Yuhong, chief physician of dermatology department of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that Buzhong Yiqi Decoction (Radix Astragali, Atractylodis Rhizoma, Pericarpium Citri Tangerinae, Cimicifuga Rhizoma, Bupleuri Radix, Ginseng Radix, Glycyrrhrizae Radix and Angelica Radix) has a good effect. Try to take it during the day, so that you can be full of energy during the day and make up your breath, so that you can have a good sleep at night. Never eat at night, because eating at night may lead to excitement and even insomnia.
For those who are "restless", another good way is to rub their hands, aim the Laogong point of the palm at the navel, that is, the place of the palm, and take a deep breath slowly.
disease prevention
Seek medical attention in time if you cough repeatedly, and be alert to atypical asthma.
Many asthma patients only rush to see a doctor when asthma attacks, and stop treatment once the condition is relieved. If the patient's diagnosis and treatment is not standardized, it may cause repeated acute attacks, aggravate the condition and even threaten life.
Yang Rui, deputy chief physician of the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine of Shantou Second People's Hospital, reminded that young and middle-aged people who have no history of asthma should go to the respiratory department in time when they have repeated coughs, chest tightness or other respiratory symptoms, pay attention to the diagnosis of atypical asthma, avoid misdiagnosis and increase unnecessary medical expenses; For patients with a history of asthma, when cough, chest tightness, wheezing and other symptoms get worse, they should go to the respiratory medicine department in time to avoid delaying diagnosis and treatment.
