Health management in winter
It is easier for our body to become
unbalanced during winter as we tend to exercise less due to cold weather as
well as eat more and drink more.
This year’s cold is predicted to be colder
than last year and your body condition may become worse if you just stay inside
all day.
So today, we are going to have a look at
some health management method that will maintain us healthy during this winter.
Ventilate the air every 1-2 hours.
It is easy to get diseases on respiratory
system such as cold because we tend to focus on indoor activities where
assorted dusts, viruses and wastes flow around.
Thus it is ideal to fill indoor with fresh
air by ventilating at least every 1-2 hours.
Drink adequate amount of water, at least
1.5L a day.
It becomes really dry indoor when heaters
are on which can make it easier for our body to get respiratory diseases as the
mucous membrane on our nose and bronchial tubes, the first barrier of our body
that protect us from waste and viruses, get dried as well.
Thus it is ideal to make sure that you are
not lacking water intake by drinking at least 1.5L of water per day.
Wash your hands after going out.
The most common root for us to catch cold
is the transfer of viruses from cold patient’s desk or doorknob to the person
who made a contact to those objects.
Thus it is ideal to have a habit of washing
hands continuously and especially after going out.
Have a balanced life habit.
Our immune system tends to get weakened
because we use more energy during winter to protect our body from unexpected
cold weather.
Thus it is important to have regular life
habit including regular exercise.
However you have to be careful on sweating
outside as your body temperature can decrease when the sweat cools down in cold
air. Also you have to make sure that you are not doing hard exercise without
any warm up exercise.
Avoid smoking, heavy drinking and overwork
It is ideal to avoid overwork, heavy
drinking and smoking during winter.
Even healthy people can experience sudden
cardiovascular disorders or stroke during winter and the chance of getting
these diseases becomes higher if someone smokes or has diabetes, hypertension
or arrhythmia.
Also, if you push your body too hard by
heavy drinking or smoking after overworking or having less sleep, you can even
get pneumonia as well as stroke or cardiovascular diseases.
