But don't forget, viruses and bacteria also like the temperature and environment in summer. When summer comes, they will run around and start attacking us, causing flu.
It is not uncommon to report that a flu has upset so many hospitals. Even in order to meet the needs of patients, major hospitals have taken measures to control the spread of influenza, such as mobilizing doctors to rotate their posts, continuing to work overtime, and increasing the publicity of influenza prevention.
In fact, summer is not the high season of influenza, but the flu in summer will make patients very painful because of the high temperature, and the treatment period is long, which is easy to merge with lung problems. Therefore, Edo Wang Biao reminds you that you must also pay attention to influenza prevention in summer, and good protection is the key. The following eight lines of defense must be held. ...
? Line of defense 1: clean air conditioning
It's hot in summer, so air conditioning becomes a necessary appliance, but it is also one of the "real killers" of summer flu. Before using the air conditioner in early summer, be sure to clean the filter screen of the air conditioner. After a year's use, a lot of dust, bacteria and viruses are attached to the filter screen. If it is not cleaned in time, these substances will blow to every corner of the room with the air conditioning wind.
When it is particularly hot, many people like to blow cold air directly to the air conditioner outlet or fan. Although it was very comfortable at that time, it was particularly easy to catch a cold because of the hot and cold.
Line of defense 2: protect the nasal cavity
Influenza viruses can spread through the air. When these pathogenic microorganisms invade the human body, the nasal cavity bears the brunt. Protecting the nasal cavity is equivalent to building our first protective wall to prevent colds.
Prevention method: cold water nose washing method
Hold clean cold water in your hands, inhale gently through your nose, let the water enter the nasal cavity with the airflow, and then spit it out. This is repeated about 10 times, once every morning and evening. It can clean the dust in the nasal cavity and reduce the chance of influenza virus breeding in the nasal cavity.
Line of defense 3: ironing toothbrush
Brush your teeth every day, the bristles are often in a wet state, which is easy to breed viruses and bacteria in a warm and slow air flow environment, and it is also easy to enter the respiratory tract through the mouth and cause a cold when using. In order to prevent colds, the toothbrush can be scalded and disinfected with boiling water regularly, and a new toothbrush can be replaced at the right time.
Line 4: Warm your feet
Some people wonder: isn't the flu spread through the respiratory tract? What does this have to do with feet? In fact, people's feet are sensitive to temperature, and because they are far away from the heart, it is also the most difficult part for blood to reach, so they are more likely to catch cold. If the feet are not warm enough, it will reflexively cause vasoconstriction of the nasal mucosa, and the influenza virus will take the opportunity to invade the human body. Therefore, foot massage can promote blood circulation and better release body functions; We can also soak our feet with hot water before going to bed, so that we can sleep comfortably.
Line of defense 5: open the window for ventilation
Window ventilation can effectively remove harmful gases such as viruses and bacteria in indoor air and purify indoor air; Increase the content of negative oxygen ions. The doors and windows are all open, the indoor and outdoor air convection is good, and the indoor and outdoor air exchange takes only 15 minutes.
Line 6: Eat wisely.
Pay attention to a healthy diet. Summer is sultry, and many people have no appetite. I like to eat spicy and cold food to stimulate my appetite. Eating too much high-salt food leads to dry mouth and low immune function, which makes hot colds take advantage of it. At this time, you must arrange your diet reasonably and eat less fried and pickled food, especially in hot summer, which can prevent colds.
You can also try a dish I prepared for you: stir-fried meat with water chestnut.
Water chestnut (commonly known as horseshoe) is rich in nutrition, sweet and juicy, crisp and delicious, and has been called "underground Sydney" since ancient times. The ingredients are tender, crisp, delicate and have no residue, and can also resist viruses and prevent influenza. Children and patients with fever are best to eat, and those with cough, excessive phlegm and sore throat should eat more.
Fried meat with water chestnut
Ingredients: water chestnut, lean meat, green pepper, red pepper, ginger and garlic.
Exercise:
1, mince ginger and garlic, and diagonally cut green and red peppers!
2. Dice the lean meat and peel and dice the horseshoe.
3, hot pot oil, put water chestnut and green pepper into the pot and fry until cooked.
4. Stir-fry the meat, add the ginger and garlic, and pour the horseshoe after the meat is cooked!
5. Add salt and chicken essence and mix well!
"serve!" Adults and children often eat it to prevent the flu!
Line 7: Exercise more.
Life lies in exercise. With the rapid development of society, working continuously for a long time, fatigue. Due to the sultry summer, people who work hard exercise a lot less. This will reduce your immunity. I hope that combining work and rest and going out for outdoor exercise can also prevent colds well.
Line 8: Absorb negative oxygen ions
Breathing is the most important part of life. Air containing high concentration of negative oxygen ions enters the human circulation after being breathed by human body, which can purify blood, regulate human autonomic nerve, improve cardiopulmonary function, strengthen breathing depth, promote human metabolism and be beneficial to human health. After testing, inhaling air negative oxygen ions in the glass mask for 30 minutes can increase the amount of oxygen absorbed by the lungs by 20%, while the amount of carbon dioxide discharged can increase by 14.5%.
More importantly, living in an environment rich in negative oxygen ions for a long time can obviously improve the functions of respiratory system and circulatory system, make people energetic, enhance memory, improve reaction speed and improve anti-fatigue ability; Because it is negatively charged and weakly alkaline, it can neutralize creatine, effectively improve the function of cerebral cortex, eliminate fatigue and relieve irritability, anxiety and tension.
