Why do I catch a cold easily when the weather gets cold?

Cold is a common and frequently-occurring disease. So far, there is no specific treatment. At present, we can only treat it symptomatically and let it heal itself gradually. This paper introduces several strange therapies, which readers may wish to try. 1. Drinking chicken soup Two clinical medical centers in the United States reported that drinking chicken soup can inhibit inflammation of the throat and respiratory tract, which is extremely effective in eliminating symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, cough and sore throat caused by colds. Because chicken contains many kinds of amino acids necessary for human body, it is rich in nutrition, which can significantly enhance the body's resistance to cold virus. Chicken also contains some special chemicals, which can enhance the blood circulation of pharynx and the secretion of nasal fluid, which has a good effect on protecting respiratory tract unobstructed, clearing respiratory virus and accelerating the recovery of cold. 2. The practice of eating more radishes proves that the carotene in radishes has a unique role in preventing and treating colds. The specific method is to chop the sweet, crisp and juicy radish, squeeze out half a teacup juice, mash the ginger, squeeze out a small amount of ginger juice, add sugar or honey, mix well, and then pour it into boiled water as a drink, three times a day for two days, which can clear away heat, detoxify, dispel cold and prevent colds. 3, sugar ginger tea drink because colds are mostly exogenous cold evil, often have headaches, stuffy nose, runny nose and joint pain, and even fear of cold, fever and other symptoms. You can use appropriate amounts of brown sugar, ginger and black tea to cook soup and drink it once or twice a day, which not only warms your body and removes cold, but also has a good function of preventing and treating colds. 4. The experiment of eating less salt proves that eating less salt can increase the content of lysozyme in saliva, protect the epithelial cells of oral cavity and throat, and make them secrete more immunoglobulin A and interferon to deal with cold virus. Therefore, controlling the daily salt consumption within 5 grams is of great benefit to the prevention and treatment of colds. 5, taking honey honey contains a variety of bioactive substances, which can stimulate the immune function of the human body. Taking it twice a day in the morning and evening can effectively treat and prevent colds and other viral diseases. 6. Taking Yeast Professor dasgupta of the University of California found in the experiment that the yeast for making bread contains a component that can prevent the cold virus from propagating and spreading in human cells, and can treat the common cold, but it is ineffective for influenza. 7. Eat more condiments. The University of Wisconsin in the United States believes that ginger and dried peppers help the human body expel cold viruses, relieve cough and resolve phlegm. The American Cancer Institute revealed not long ago that garlic can enhance the immune function of the human body. Add more seasoning when cooking dishes, which can make the cold recover early. 8. Nose drip and fumigation of vinegar. The vinegar is diluted with cold boiled water and prepared into 5%-1% solution for nose drip, 4-6 times a day, and 2-3 drops are dripped into each nostril, which has a good effect on treating colds and influenza. Especially in the early stage of cold, the curative effect is better, and vinegar can kill the cold virus lurking in the nasopharynx. During the epidemic of cold, nose drops with vinegar have a reliable preventive effect. In addition, vinegar fumigation can also treat colds, that is, 1 grams of vinegar is fumigated on the stove, which not only makes the room fragrant immediately, but also makes vinegar molecules float in the air to kill indoor cold viruses, which can effectively prevent colds. During the cold epidemic, it is best to fumigate vinegar 1-2 times a day. 9, rubbing hands Because the thumb root of the hand (medically called thenar) is rich in muscles, when the palm is stretched out, it obviously protrudes, occupying a large area of the palm. The thenar is closely related to the respiratory organs. Rubbing every day is of great benefit to improving the constitution that is prone to colds. The method is: rub the thenar of both hands until it is hot. Rubbing is like rubbing the skin of peanuts with your palms. One hand is fixed, turn the thenar of the other hand, and the hands alternate up and down. The two thenar are rubbed in opposite directions, and for about one to two minutes, the whole palm will be hot. Doing so can promote blood circulation and strengthen the body's metabolism, so it can enhance physical fitness, so it is not easy to catch a cold. 1, massage the nose with two hands slightly clenched fists, and massage the sides of the nose up and down with the back of the flexed thumb. Massage 15-3 times a day in the morning and afternoon, with local redness and heat as the degree. One method can improve the blood circulation of the nose, promote the secretion of mucosal cells, and excrete cold virus and its harmful metabolites through the "directional swing" of cilia. 11. Acupoint Massage After massaging the points such as nasal passages, yingxiang and rhinorrhea with the tips of thumb, forefinger and middle finger (using one finger), rub the cold-sensitive areas on both sides of the nasal cavity from yingxiang point to Yintang point with the muscular area around the fishbone point. Massage Yongquan point and foot center until they get fever, so that the meridians in these two areas are unobstructed and the qi and blood run normally. This can prevent the invasion of cold and keep the enemy out of the gate. 13. Sleep more. Researchers at Harvard Medical School in the United States found that when people sleep, bacteria in the body can produce a substance called "muramic acid", which can enhance human immunity and accelerate the recovery of colds and other viral diseases. Therefore, it is suggested that sleep is also a treatment, especially for colds. 14. Breathe steam in a big cup of tea, put a cup of boiling water, lean over it with your face, and take a deep breath exercise against the rising hot steam until the water in the cup is cool, several times a day. This method is effective in treating colds, especially the first cold. 15. Wash your face with cold water. This method generally starts in summer and continues in autumn and winter to enhance its appropriateness. Wash your face with cold boiled water every morning and evening, which can increase the blood circulation of the face, improve the ability of disease resistance and cold resistance, and thus prevent the occurrence of colds. Preventive coup 1. Keep the indoor air fresh and the temperature and humidity appropriate. In winter, the weather is cold, and many families don't want to open the window often for ventilation, which causes the indoor air to be dirty and not circulating, so that the pathogenic microorganisms in the air are rich, and it is easy to invade the human respiratory tract and cause infection. Ventilation by opening the window is extremely important to reduce the occurrence of respiratory tract infection, especially when someone at home has a cold. 2. Appropriate clothes. In winter, we often dress our children a lot and thick. Sometimes, after unbuttoning clothes, children are found to be wet. In this way, the child's activities are restricted under the heavy package, and it will be very uncomfortable. Secondly, it will not be conducive to his heat dissipation, and even the package will be hot and dehydrated. Therefore, children's clothes should not be too thick. In addition, we should pay attention to the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor, and increase or decrease clothes in time. 3. Adhere to outdoor activities. Outdoor sports and the stimulation of cold air are very helpful to enhance the disease resistance of children's respiratory tract. In winter, you can choose the time when the wind is light, the sun is abundant and the temperature is relatively high, so that children can exercise outdoors. 4. The diet is reasonable. Adhere to the principle of diversity, balance and moderation in diet. Avoid partial eclipse, picky eaters and single diet. Because the air is dry in winter, children can be given proper drinking water. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits to supplement vitamins, especially vitamin C, which has a certain effect on catching a cold. At the same time, bean products, fish, shrimp and eggs can provide high-quality protein, thus enhancing the body's disease resistance. 5. Avoid contact with the source of infection. Try to take children to places with crowded people and dirty air as little as possible, and try to avoid visiting relatives and friends with cold patients to reduce the chance of being infected. When someone at home has a cold, it is best to have less contact with children or let patients wear masks.
