Preventing dryness and moistening lung
The lungs are wet and dry, and the winter climate is cold and dry, which makes the lungs in a very dry state, thus greatly reducing the purification and defense functions of the body.

Protect the lungs from risk factors
In winter, smog occurs frequently, and the concentration of PM2.5 is significantly higher than that in other seasons. PM2.5 refers to fine particles with a diameter less than 2.5 microns, which can directly enter the lungs through the respiratory system and is very harmful to the human body. High PM2.5 value can easily induce various diseases, especially respiratory diseases. In addition to smog, there are also factors that damage the lungs: smoking and indoor air pollution, such as decoration pollution and kitchen fume pollution. To protect the lungs, we should pay attention to avoid all kinds of factors that endanger the health of the lungs, such as choosing the right time to open the window for ventilation to prevent outdoor air pollution from entering the room; Try to smoke less or not.

Don't wear clothes too tightly to avoid insufficient blood supply to the brain. Don't cover your head when sleeping, especially for patients with chronic lung diseases, so as to avoid causing and aggravating carbon dioxide retention in the body and affecting breathing.
Active exercise
When winter activities are reduced, thromboembolic diseases such as heart, brain and lung are prone to occur. So I suggest you take part in more physical exercises and go to parks, grasslands and other places with fresh air to do aerobic exercise. If it is inconvenient to go out, you can walk indoors to play a preventive role.
Regular ventilation
The room should be ventilated regularly. When using air conditioners, heaters and other equipment, pay attention to keeping the appropriate indoor temperature to prevent the airway from drying.
