On the 11th, after the holiday, the lowest temperature in the morning drops to 3~13 degrees and the highest temperature during the day drops to 16~21 degrees, and the cold weather continues. The Korea Meteorological Administration predicted, “It will be mostly cloudy throughout the country, but it will gradually become clear.”

The lowest temperature in Seoul in the morning is 6 degrees and the highest during the day is 17 degrees. Tomorrow, the morning minimum temperature in most of the country is expected to drop to around 5 degrees. The fine dust concentration is expected to show a ‘good’ to ‘normal’ level in all regions due to the smooth air diffusion.

☞Today’s Health=Autumn is the season of disease. This is because the body’s immune system and blood vessels have to go through time to adapt as the temperature drops from hot to cold, and it is a good time for various viruses to be active outside. There are 4 major diseases to watch out for during the cold season.

cold = A cold is a mild disease that is not light at all. In particular, colds in the elderly or chronically ill can lead to complications such as otitis media and pneumonia, so special attention is required. Thorough personal hygiene management, such as managing the air not to be dry, drinking water frequently, and brushing teeth and washing hands after going out should be performed thoroughly.

joint pain = As the temperature decreases, muscles and blood vessels constrict, resulting in less flexibility and more severe joint pain. If you have joint pain, you can reduce joint pain and muscle stiffness by using a hot pack for aging-related degenerative arthritis and a cold pack for rheumatoid arthritis. It is effective to exercise at least 5 times a week, for at least 30 minutes a day, and to sweat a little.

stroke = Because blood vessels contract and relax according to the temperature, the risk of cerebral hemorrhage or cerebral infarction increases especially when the inner wall of blood vessels is damaged due to chronic diseases or thrombosis is accumulated. .

If you have unusual symptoms, such as tired eyes, dizzy feeling, frequent motion sickness, severe headache, weakness in arms and legs, and walking while staggering to one side, you may have a stroke and seek medical attention. Avoid eating salty food or eating a lot of fat, and it is necessary to keep warm by exercising regularly and wearing a hat in cold weather.

myocardial infarction = Myocardial infarction, which can lead to death due to blockage or rupture of blood vessels that supply blood to the heart, is especially dangerous during the changing seasons when the temperature changes significantly. Characteristic symptoms of myocardial infarction include chest pain and shortness of breath, and may include sudden fainting or pain that spreads to the inside of the left arm. It is good to maintain an appropriate weight, exercise regularly, and refrain from drinking and smoking.
