Many people are prone to catch cold in autumn and winter. What is the relationship between cold weather and cold?

First of all, because the weather is cold and windy in winter, people are vulnerable to cold. After the body caught cold, the resistance weakened, and the virus took the opportunity to fight.

Secondly, colds are mainly spread through the air. When a patient coughs or talks, small particles of saliva are sprayed into the air from his mouth. These small particles in saliva contain countless viruses. When others breathe, if these viruses are inhaled, they will cause colds. It is also possible that these viruses are temporarily hidden in people's noses or throats, and they will only be rampant when people's body resistance is weakened. It's so cold outside in winter that people always like to live indoors. They have to close the doors and windows to keep the room warm. Because people are concentrated indoors and the ventilation is not good, it creates favorable conditions for the spread of the virus between people.

To prevent colds, we must first exercise, especially strengthen our resistance to cold. Frequent cold noodles and cold baths are good ways to exercise and resist the cold.

Cold water can be washed every day, and it is easy to stick to it. Cold water bath should be carried out step by step according to certain methods. It can start every summer and the time can be extended from 5 minutes to 1 quarter. After washing, dry your body with a dry towel.

Cold is one of the most common respiratory diseases, belonging to exogenous diseases. When people are weak, life is unbalanced, and foreign evils invade, they will cause colds, fatigue, runny nose, cough and other symptoms, and even fever and sore throat. Cold can be divided into four categories: wind-cold cold cold, wind-heat cold, fashion cold and summer-heat cold. According to syndrome differentiation and treatment, different types of colds should be treated with different drugs. A cold is not a pleasant thing. We have to endure symptoms such as stuffy nose, sneezing, coughing and headache, which can be described as miserable.

Why is it easier to catch a cold in winter?

1, early winter is the season of common cold, and common cold virus is easy to breed in cold environment. The cold weather in winter makes our immune system produce less antiviral antibodies, so the protection mechanism is weakened and it is easy to be infected by viruses.

2. In winter, the days are short, and there are few opportunities to see the sun, so our skin produces less vitamin D, which increases the chance of infection.

What food is suitable for cold and dry winter to keep out the cold and improve immunity?

1, eat more white food, such as: white radish, cabbage, lily, tremella, wax gourd, etc.

2, eat more cold food, such as: mutton, beef, lean meat, animal liver, kelp, seaweed and so on;

3. Eat more protein foods, such as fish, shrimp, eggs, walnuts and peanuts.
