November 7th marks the beginning of winter season. With the arrival of the Beginning of Winter solar term, the temperature gradually decreases, the weather becomes dry and cold, and the human body functions also enter the adjustment stage. How to scientifically maintain health and prevent diseases? On the 6th, the National Health Commission held a press conference with the theme of "Seasonal Solar Terms and Health" and invited experts to provide answers. Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) should warm the kidneys and unblock the meridians, and adhere to standardized treatment. After the beginning of winter, the cold gradually worsens, and COPD patients are prone to shortness of breath, increased coughing and wheezing, and other symptoms. Qi Wensheng, chief physician of Guang'anmen Hospital of Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, pointed out that traditional Chinese medicine believes that "cold harms kidney yang" and the inability of the kidneys to absorb qi is an important reason for the decline in lung function. He suggested that patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease should start from various aspects such as diet therapy, acupoint massage, moxibustion for warmth, and respiratory exercise in winter to enhance lung function and ensure a smooth winter. Qi Wensheng stated that "the kidneys store essence and mainly absorb qi", and dietary therapy is an effective way to warm the kidneys and nourish the lungs. The prepared rehmannia root, polygonatum essence, ginseng, wolfberry and other food and drug homologous substances should be properly used in daily life, and porridge or soup can warm and tonify the kidney; Massaging acupoints such as Lieque and Taiyuan has a health promoting effect on the lungs; You can also apply moxibustion to Guanyuan acupoint or soak your feet in water boiled with mugwort leaves, dried ginger, and cinnamon. In addition, Zhou Min, chief physician of Ruijin Hospital affiliated with Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, stated that chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a lifelong disease that requires long-term standardized treatment, and stable condition does not necessarily mean cure. In the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, in addition to medication, attention should also be paid to smoking cessation, respiratory rehabilitation, and prevention of acute exacerbation. Control sugar and seek "stability", avoid cognitive misconceptions, take more supplements in winter, and dietary structure changes greatly. diabetes patients need to pay more attention to blood sugar fluctuations. Xiao Xinhua, chief physician of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, pointed out that there are still many misconceptions in the public's perception of diabetes, such as "the less staple food, the better", "sugar free food," and "the lower blood sugar, the better", which may bring health risks. The staple food is not the 'enemy', the key lies in quality and quantity. ”Xiao Xinhua suggested that patients with diabetes should eat a moderate amount of staple food, and give priority to coarse grains such as whole grains, beans, potatoes and other coarse grains that increase blood sugar slowly. In addition, "sugar free food" is not "hypoglycemic food". "Sugar free" usually refers to food without sucrose, but the food itself may contain a large amount of starch, oil, and some may even contain sucrose substitutes, which can also raise blood sugar. The goal of sugar control is to achieve stable standards, rather than blindly seeking low. ”Xiao Xinhua said that severe hypoglycemia can lead to dizziness, palpitations, cold sweats, and even blurred consciousness and coma, causing serious damage to the brain and heart. For most patients with diabetes, the goal of blood sugar control varies from person to person, so individualized goal setting should be carried out under the guidance of doctors. In recent years, with the change of lifestyle, type 2 diabetes is showing a trend of youth. Xiao Xinhua reminded that more and more young people are being "targeted" by diabetes due to unhealthy lifestyles such as staying up late for a long time, high sugar drinks, fried food, etc. A healthy lifestyle is the basis for preventing diabetes. We should stop talking, open our legs and conduct regular screening. Be alert to respiratory infectious diseases and promote scientific home disinfection. Winter is a high-risk season for respiratory infectious diseases, and scientific and effective environmental disinfection is one of the important means to cut off transmission routes and protect susceptible populations. Zhang Liubo, a researcher at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, stated that alcohol, as a commonly used disinfectant, has the advantages of fast disinfection and no residue. It is widely used in households, but scientific methods need to be followed when using it. In daily life, alcohol is generally used for applying, wiping, and disinfecting the skin or hands. Hand cream or specialized hand disinfectants containing skincare ingredients can be used simultaneously during hand disinfection. You can also use disinfectant wipes containing alcohol to wipe and disinfect small surfaces or items. Alcohol is flammable and explosive, and is not recommended as an air disinfectant. ”Zhang Liubo said that it is also not recommended to use alcohol to spray the surface of the sofa for disinfection. Repeated use may cause discoloration of the sofa surface and affect its appearance. It is recommended to heat and boil tableware for daily disinfection. The operation is simple, the effect is reliable, and there is no chemical residue. Generally, it is not recommended to use alcohol to disinfect tableware. (New Society)
