Recently, the weather began to get cold, and it is easy to get sick in different seasons. Is it too bad?

Why is it easy to get sick in different seasons?

1

The temperature changes greatly.

After autumn, the light time decreases slowly, and the temperature difference between day and night is large. If children wear thin clothes during the day, they will catch a cold at night.

2

Decreased resistance

The summer weather has just passed, and children's resistance is easy to drop and their physical defense ability is weak when the season changes, which also provides a good opportunity for bacteria and viruses to attack.

Bacterial virus is active

With the change of seasons in summer and autumn, the weather is getting colder, and the air is dry, some areas such as kitchen and bathroom at home are very suitable for the survival and reproduction of bacteria and viruses. Therefore, when the season changes, it will enter the active period of bacteria and viruses, and the probability of children being infected and sick will soar.

It can be seen that children are more likely to get sick in different seasons, which is caused by objective environmental factors, not all of which are caused by poor immunity. If you want to help children break the "autumn curse", prevention is king.

The most important thing to prevent diseases is to improve resistance. Here are four ways to enhance children's resistance, hoping to alleviate parents' anxiety about changing seasons.

Four ways to enhance resistance

? supplement nutrition

Balanced nutrition is the material basis for maintaining children's normal resistance, and any kind of nutritional deficiency may affect human resistance.

Children's daily intake of food must be balanced, and cereals, meat and eggs, vegetables, fruits and dairy products are indispensable.

? Practice regularly

Affected by the epidemic, many children are afraid to go out and exercise less. If the air in the house is not ventilated, it is easy to breed germs.

In order to prevent diseases, parents should take their children to places where there are few people to exercise, which will not only help promote the development of children's bones and muscles, but also enhance their resistance.

? Good hygiene habits

Whether at home or outside, children will come into contact with all kinds of people and things, and clothes and hands will inevitably be contaminated with all kinds of bacteria.

Parents should urge their children to wash their hands frequently and disinfect more to prevent bacteria from directly entering the mouth, nose and eyes, causing infection.

? adequate sleep

According to medical experts, during sleep, the human body will produce a sleep factor called muramic acid, which can promote the increase of white blood cells, activate macrophages, and enhance the detoxification function of the liver, thus eliminating invading bacteria and viruses.

Whether adults or children want to improve their resistance, they must first ensure adequate sleep.

Get dressed.

In the season of changing seasons, the weather is hot and cold. How to make children dress appropriately? They will neither catch a cold because they wear too little, nor sweat and catch a cold because they wear too much.

In recent years, the "26-degree dressing rule" widely circulated on the Internet is considered by many parents as an important criterion for choosing clothes for their children.

The so-called "26-degree dressing rule" is based on the temperature corresponding to different clothes plus the ambient temperature, which is equal to 26 degrees. According to this formula, it is decided how to dress children.

Thick down jacket is equivalent to 9℃, thin down jacket is 6℃, slightly thick cotton coat is 5℃, thick sweater with cotton vest is 4℃, fleece coat with thin coat is 3℃, thick cotton coat is 2℃, thin cotton coat is 1℃ and so on.

The most suitable dressing method is that the sum of clothing temperature and weather temperature is equal to 26℃. For example, if the outside temperature is 22℃, it is enough to wear a short-sleeved T-shirt and a thin coat for children, which is 22+ 1+3=26.

Experts said that the "26℃ dressing rule" can be used for reference, but it is unscientific to use a simple formula as a standard for dressing children. Parents should still pay attention to observe their children's hot and cold reactions in order to adjust them in time.

Because such a formula does not take into account the influence of humidity, outdoor wind and other factors on the somatosensory temperature, nor does it take into account the individual differences of children. For example, lively and active children wear thinner clothes than quiet and inactive children.

In addition, if the child's body temperature is kept at 26℃, it will make him lack the ability to adapt to the external environment. Because each child's adaptability, resistance and immunity are different, it is better to adapt to the stimulation of temperature changes brought about by the alternation of seasons, which will be better for physical exercise.

Out-of-season clothes should be aired before wearing.

In addition to wearing clothes with the right thickness, you need to bask in the sun first. The weather turned cold, and everyone took out thick coats and thin sweaters at the bottom of the box to prepare for the arrival of late autumn. Many people think that last year's clothes were cleaned up and they can wear them directly this year, but they are not.

These clothes are stored in wardrobes or boxes all summer. Due to insufficient air circulation, they are easy to breed mites and may also carry some germs or allergens. Some clothes still have untreated dander and sebum, or have been exposed to mothballs, and the situation is even worse.

When changing seasons, if you wear it directly to children without treatment, it will easily lead to skin problems, especially for children with allergic constitution, and even allergic skin diseases, such as urticaria.

So, find a sunny day and quickly dig out the seasonal clothes and quilts for children and their families. And let them sunbathe in the sun. Sunlight is a natural "disinfectant", and ultraviolet rays can kill harmful substances such as mites and molds. In addition, sunlight can dehumidify clothes and also has the function of sterilization.
