Affected
by the cold air, the temperature in the north has dropped continuously. 00 on November 7, Beijing officially started heating. When the heating season comes, doors and windows are often closed and air circulation is not good, which will lead to discomfort such as restlessness, tight skin, dry nasopharynx, chest distress, dizziness, sweating and so on. This environment provides a “hotbed” for the breeding and transmission of pathogens, and is more likely to suffer from respiratory diseases. How to prevent “heating disease” and warm winter? Temperature
control and humidification
room temperature should not be too high, 18 ℃ -24 ℃ is appropriate. In winter, there is less precipitation in the north, and too high room temperature will aggravate the dryness of indoor air, so it is better to keep the humidity at 50% -60%. It is not recommended to use the humidifier for a long time without interruption, and attention should be paid to the regular cleaning of the humidifier to prevent bacterial breeding and humidification pneumonia; you can also place several pots of water indoors, put more pots of green radish, chlorophytum and other green plants, or even build a wet towel on the radiator, which can achieve the purpose of indoor humidification. Ventilation
in the
morning and evening is cold and windy in winter in the north, people often close doors and windows, indoor air becomes dirty for a long time, warm environment is easy for bacteria to multiply, people in this environment are prone to decreased immunity, decreased resistance, mental fatigue and so on. In winter, we should also develop the habit of opening windows and ventilating in the morning and evening to ensure air circulation.
High temperature and low humidity environment will take away more water from the human body. In the heating room, we should develop the habit of drinking water regularly, whether we feel thirsty or not. Black tea, scented tea, tangerine peel, hawthorn, lemon, dwarf lilyturf tuber, fragrant solomonseal rhizome, honey and the like can be appropriately selected to be soaked in water for drinking according to respective constitutions or preferences, and the drinks can not only replenish water, but also have the effect of promoting the production of body fluid and effectively relieve the symptoms of systemic dryness.
Runfei Yangyin
heating season dry skin, skin itching symptoms, traditional Chinese medicine believes that “lung main fur”, which is mostly related to lung dryness, dietary intake of lung-nourishing food, such as cabbage, radish, tremella, Lily, duck, etc., can also choose Dendrobium, Ophiopogon japonicus, Shashen and other decoction pieces to make medicinal diet. At the same time, we should avoid excessive intake of spicy food, try not to drink or drink less alcohol.
Skin care and moisturizing
bath should not be too frequent; water temperature should not be too high; it is not recommended to use soap or excessive rubbing bath. These habits can easily destroy the sebum membrane on the surface of human skin, reduce immunity and weaken the water-locking function, thus aggravating the dryness and sensitivity of the skin.
Proper exercise
in winter, outdoor activities are greatly reduced, lack of necessary sunlight activities, people tend to become nervous, sensitive, depressed and irritable. Therefore, in winter, we should also pay attention to maintaining proper outdoor activities, according to the weather and personal physique, choose activities with little exercise and slight sweating.

What problems should we pay attention to when using humidifier?
Do not add disinfectant to the humidifier at will to prevent irritation to the respiratory tract. It is better to insist on changing water every day and cleaning it thoroughly once a week, especially the humidifier that has just been used, to ensure cleanliness, avoid using tap water (containing chlorine, irritating), and use cold boiled water, pure water or distilled water with less impurities. The function of humidifier is to humidify and keep away from other household appliances, such as TV, computer and desk lamp, when the machine is working. The humidifier should not be used for too long, and it can be turned off in a few hours. The most suitable air humidity is 40% -60%, which can cause pneumonia and other diseases. The most suitable air humidity for human body is also the humidity suitable for bacteria to breed. When using humidifier, we should also pay attention to opening windows and ventilating in time.
