In autumn, the climate is getting colder and colder. What problems are lung cancer patients prone to in autumn?

In autumn, the climate is getting colder, the sunshine is decreasing, the leaves are blown by the wind and the weather is dry. There are three lines of defense for human contact with the outside world: skin, gastrointestinal mucosa and respiratory mucosa. Among the three, the respiratory tract, especially the lungs, is the most fragile, and it is most vulnerable to contact with the outside world and bacterial infection.

A lung cancer patient was stimulated by cold air and caused lung infection. A small cold quickly developed into pneumonia, which eventually made his condition worse. Professor Li from the International Cancer Medical Center of Jinshazhou Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine said: In autumn, people's overall metabolic function declines, their immunity is low, and cancer patients' resistance to viruses is even worse, and their illness is easy to recur. Once attacked by a cold virus, the already fragile immune defense line is on the verge of collapse. Then, patients with lung cancer are more likely to get sick than others in autumn. How can we maintain them well?

In autumn, the temperature drops obviously and the rainfall decreases. At this time, the air humidity drops obviously, and the weather becomes dry, which is easy to damage the lungs. If you are a lung cancer patient, the lung itself has some abnormal functions, and often there will be many complications. The most common symptoms are dry mouth, dry cough and dry skin. However, due to lung cancer, some lung cancer patients may have hemoptysis, which may lead to long-term hemoptysis if not handled properly.

1, regulating digestive tract function

Due to the influence of cancer, most lung cancer patients will have digestive tract problems more or less, and there will be obvious loss of appetite in autumn. At this time, reasonable maintenance of the digestive tract is a necessary condition to ensure good health. If the digestive tract function is obviously abnormal, it is likely to lead to the decline of the body's resistance and malnutrition, and it will also lead to a large number of cancer cells. If lung cancer patients want to maintain the digestive tract through diet, they need to persist for a long time and proceed patiently and steadily, otherwise the progress in a short time is likely to increase the burden on the digestive tract.

2. Eat more warm foods containing potassium and calcium.

When the weather is cold, it will affect people's urinary system urination times, and inorganic salts such as calcium, potassium and sodium in the body will be excreted with urine. Therefore, in autumn, you should eat more warm foods such as chestnuts, pumpkins, longan and mushrooms, which are rich in potassium and calcium.

In addition, eating more vegetables, fruits and carrots rich in vitamin C and dark green vegetables rich in vitamin A can enhance the body's adaptability to cold. In autumn, people's demand for methionine will increase obviously, and they can adapt to the cold by transferring, and eat more dairy products, leafy vegetables and sunflower seeds rich in methionine.

3, pay attention to keep warm

After radiotherapy and chemotherapy, cancer patients' resistance and immunity are obviously reduced, and they are prone to some diseases, so they must keep warm physically.

Pay attention to the ventilation of the living room, go to some public places as little as possible, add clothes according to the weather changes, actively prevent colds, and go to the hospital for regular review in strict accordance with the doctor's advice.

Step 4 soak your feet

Most people know that soaking feet every day helps to improve the body's resistance, mainly because soaking feet before going to bed can promote blood circulation and accelerate metabolism in a certain period of time, which can ensure that feet are not attacked by cold for a period of time. At the same time, it can also relieve the fatigue of patients. If you have patients with severe lung cancer, you can consider soaking your feet for a long time to promote blood circulation and improve your immunity.

Step 5 exercise

Studies have shown that physical activity may play a certain role in preventing lung cancer, but it is not clear whether exercise can help to prolong the survival of lung cancer patients.

If you can still participate in sports, moderate exercise may reduce the risk of premature death, and exercise will also reduce the risk of death from other age-related diseases. Research shows that exercise can improve the quality of life of patients with lung cancer. At present, I don't know which exercises are most suitable and how long is the best exercise time. It depends on exercise conditions, physical condition and personal habits. You'd better ask your doctor.

The dry weather in autumn is easy to affect the lungs, so lung cancer patients need to pay more attention to both life and diet. Foods that nourish and moisten the lungs are naturally the best. If there are no conditions, you should also be careful not to eat food that hurts your lungs.
