Why do many respiratory problems occur in autumn

  After the start of autumn, the temperature difference between day and night begins to gradually increase, when people are easy to relax their vigilance. Patients with cardiovascular, cerebrovascular and pulmonary diseases are very sensitive to climate changes, and when the temperature difference exceeds 5 degrees, it will cause respiratory diseases, heart diseases and cerebrovascular diseases."

"After a long period of high temperature, the body's immunity has declined, coupled with the middle-aged and elderly people themselves more basic diseases, cardiopulmonary trachea regulation mechanism is poor, the body is prone to abnormalities, some symptoms have changed internally, the outside has not yet appeared." By the time there are obvious symptoms, it's already serious." The director of the emergency department said. It can be seen that respiratory diseases have become one of the diseases with a high mortality rate. Attention should be paid to the prevention of respiratory diseases.

Why is autumn prone to respiratory diseases?

The root cause of respiratory diseases is actually seasonal climate change. Seasonal climate changes stimulate the human body, and the immune system will play a corresponding role in immune defense and immune self-stabilization. When the seasonal changes affect the respiratory system, it will cause fluctuations in the local immune balance, which will lead to respiratory diseases if it exceeds the physiological range of the human body.

Autumn is the transition season from high to low temperature, the change in temperature is more obvious than other seasons, coupled with the changeable autumn climate, dry air, do not pay attention to warm clothes and poor immunity friends, they become susceptible to respiratory diseases. Prone to respiratory diseases include: upper respiratory tract infection, pneumonia, bronchial asthma, pulmonary heart disease and so on.

How to prevent respiratory diseases in autumn?

1,Gargle more. Autumn climate is dry, all kinds of pathogens free in the air, encounter haze days, is worse. The mouth is an important channel for polluted air to enter the human respiratory tract, and gargling with water every day can remove pathogens in the mouth.

2, maintain indoor ventilation every day to open the window ventilation, keep the indoor air fresh, to prevent pathogens in the air to stay in the room for a long time. It is generally recommended to open the window for ventilation 2 to 3 times a day for 15-20 minutes each time. In addition, we should often dry and wash clothes and bedding, pay attention to climate change, and increase or decrease clothes at any time.

3, eat less greasy, fried food. Greasy fried food is not easy to digest, accumulate in the stomach, increase the stagnant heat in the body, which is not conducive to moistening and dryness, many chronic respiratory diseases often relapse or aggravate in the autumn, because of this reason.

4、Combine work and rest. Improve immunity Poor immune system is also the main cause of respiratory diseases, keep enough sleep, drink more water, eat more fruits and vegetables, maintain a balanced nutrition. Can also be appropriate exercise, enhance physical fitness, improve immunity.

5、Change masks frequently. Masks can effectively block pathogens in the air, but the replacement of masks is not timely, and it will be counterproductive, especially in the era of epidemics, replacing masks is particularly important. Under normal circumstances, disposable medical masks and surgical masks are limited to use, and the cumulative use does not exceed 8 hours; Occupational exposure personnel do not use masks for more than 4 hours, do not reuse.

6、Proper oxygen intake. The use of oxygen generators to absorb oxygen can not only improve chronic hypoxia symptoms, but also have health effects, can effectively promote metabolism, improve patient health, improve quality of life and exercise endurance.
