How to protect your health in foggy weather?

With the deterioration of air quality, cloudy days are increasing and the harm is increasing. Recently, many areas in China have incorporated the smog weather phenomenon into the fog as an early warning and forecast of disastrous weather. Collectively referred to as "haze weather". Smog is harmful to the human body after being inhaled into the human respiratory tract, and it can be fatal in serious cases. In this extreme weather, what should citizens do to reduce the harm to their bodies? What can I eat to improve my immunity?

Starting with family personal hygiene

Wash your face, rinse your mouth and clean your nasal cavity in time after going out to prevent the harm of PM2.5 to human body. It is best to use warm water when washing your face, which is beneficial to wash off the particles on your face. When cleaning the nasal cavity, you can repeatedly clean it with a clean cotton swab dipped in water, or repeatedly absorb water with your nose to blow your nose quickly and avoid choking. In addition to face cleaning, bare parts of the body should also be cleaned.

The mask is updated every two days.

Experts say that PM2.5 always exists in the air. In the case of relatively ventilated air, a small amount of PM2.5 in the air will not affect the human body. Only when the air is not circulating, PM2.5 will easily gather in large quantities, which will affect people's health. Whether it is a medical mask or an ordinary cotton mask, it will have a certain protective effect on the respiratory tract. Although masks are effective in protecting outdoor pollutants, they are still ineffective if they are not worn properly. The shape of the mask should be suitable for the face. In addition, the mask lead attached to the bridge of the nose must be pinched tightly when wearing, so that the skin of the nose and face is as close as possible to the mask, otherwise it will not be protective.

Improve disease prevention index from diet

Eat less irritating food and more fresh vegetables and fruits, which can supplement various vitamins and inorganic salts, moisten the lungs and remove dryness, eliminate phlegm and relieve cough, and strengthen the spleen and kidney. You can also eat more tofu and dairy products. In addition, self-made throat moistening tea is also a good choice, which can solve the problems of dry throat and cough and reduce the harm of air pollution to the lungs.

Healthy diet: tofu and yellow croaker

Supplement calcium and vitamin d

In the face of foggy days, Professor Nie Hong reminded us to pay more attention to the health of the elderly and children, because these people have weak resistance and a great demand for calcium. Drink plenty of water at ordinary times, pay attention to a light diet, eat less irritating food, and eat more tofu, milk, yellow croaker (and other marine fish), animal liver, egg yolk, lean meat, cheese and nuts. These foods are rich in vitamin D, which is very beneficial to calcium supplementation.

Stewed lily in Sydney moistens lung and resists virus.

Haze weather has the greatest impact on the respiratory system, and it is easy to cause acute upper respiratory tract infection, pneumonia and other diseases. Eat more at this time.

Lung moistening food, such as Sydney, orange, lily, lotus root, water chestnut, etc. I recommend a medicated diet for moistening lung and resisting virus-stewed lily with Sydney.

Practice: soak lily in clear water for 30 minutes, put it in boiling water pot for 3 minutes, take it out and drain it; Dig the heart of Sydney, wash it, and cut it into pieces with skin; Put the pieces of Sydney and lily into a casserole, add appropriate amount of water, simmer for 20 minutes, add rock sugar to dissolve, and serve.

Beef stewed radish enhances immunity

In the face of bad weather and colder and colder temperatures, Professor Nie Hong reminded everyone that it is very important to enhance immunity at this time. The best food to enhance immunity in winter is beef and mutton, and stewed radish with beef is a home-cooked dish that can enhance human immunity.

Ingredients: 500g beef, 200g radish, cooking wine, salt, onion, ginger and oil.

Practice: wash beef and cut into pieces, and cut radish into pieces; Heat the oil pan, pour in the beef pieces, stir-fry for a while, add the cooking wine, stir-fry the fragrance, and serve for later use; Add a proper amount of hot water to the casserole, add onion, ginger and cooking wine to boil, pour in beef and cook for 20 minutes, turn to low heat and stew until the beef is cooked and rotten, add salt to taste, add radish pieces and stew until it tastes good. Serve.

Daily life: Drink water frequently and don't stay up late.

Drinking water can strengthen secretory immunoglobulin A and mucocilia. Drink plenty of water first, and then pay attention to rest. Don't let your body's resistance drop because of staying up late and being nervous.

Eye protection: dry eye drops "tears"

Foggy weather can easily cause eye discomfort. If you feel tingling, swelling and foreign body sensation in your eyes, you can buy artificial tears from the drugstore and drop them into your eyes to relieve discomfort. If the symptoms are serious, you can use eye drops with anti-inflammatory effect such as ofloxacin.

Disease: It is easy to cause cardiovascular diseases.

Smog weather is a "health killer" for patients with cardiovascular diseases, especially the elderly with respiratory diseases and cardiovascular diseases. It is best not to go out in foggy days, and it is not suitable for morning exercise, otherwise it may induce diseases and even heart attacks, which may be life-threatening. At the same time, some pathogens in fog can cause headaches and even induce diseases such as hypertension and cerebral hemorrhage. Therefore, people with cardiovascular diseases, especially the elderly and infirm, should not go out in foggy days, let alone do morning exercises in foggy days to avoid danger.

Although the smog weather leads to a serious decline in air quality, as long as we pay attention to prevention and arrange our diet reasonably, we can avoid the harm caused by the virus to the human body.
