Chronic disease refers to a disease that lasts for a long time or does not improve immediately after adjustment. It is usually due to genetics or work-related stress, which prevents life functions from returning to normal as scheduled. However, autumn and winter are the seasons when chronic diseases are prone to occur, including heart disease, or three highs, Respiratory aspects and allergic diseases are very common.
In autumn and winter, the cold weather causes vasoconstriction, the pressure on the heart will increase, the surrounding vascular tissue and reflux will deteriorate, and the burden on the heart will be heavier; especially at this time, everyone likes to eat high-sugar foods or refined carbohydrates , but lack of exercise will easily cause the blood sugar in the blood to remain high. Over time, when the insulin in the body is too tired, it will not be able to effectively move the blood sugar to other parts of the body; It is easy to hoard the food you eat into fat. Zhang Ruwen, nutritionist of Renxin TCM Clinic, said:
“The weather has become colder, so everyone’s desire and demand for drinking water will decrease, and then they don’t want to go to the toilet to wash cold water. At this time, it is easy to cause blood concentration and slow metabolism, which is especially like urine. Inflamed parts of the urinary tract are also very common in autumn and winter, because without drinking water, sitting and stuffy all day, bacteria are easy to breed. Infections are quite common in autumn and winter.”
If you want to prevent chronic diseases, you should avoid overeating and drink enough water. Zhang Ruwen suggests that you should drink 30-40 cc of water per body weight*, avoid staying up late, and keep 6-8 hours of sleep every day Otherwise, it will not only reduce the body’s self-healing and repair ability, but also reduce the body’s metabolic ability, which will lead to obesity, hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia problems; you can use trivial time to increase the amount of activity, such as at home. The ultra-jogging and rope-free skipping are activities that can be performed without much space. She also mentioned the importance of regular health checkups. After all, early detection can lead to early treatment. Zhang Ruwen said:
“Autumn is harvesting, and winter is hiding. After the outside temperature drops, we should give the body as much time as possible to recover and heal itself. If you are still awake at this time, it will become the time for us to heal ourselves against external viruses. It is shortened, so if it is autumn and winter, I would rather suggest that we should sleep for one to two hours more than summer, which will be quite helpful for our resistance. Nowadays, people have too little activity, and if they don’t drink enough water , if there are too many tonics, the chronic inflammation will continue to rise. If it is accompanied by a timeline, some people may have classes in the evening, or they may work at home, then your metabolism will be relatively weak at this time Ok, if we go out to eat and drink with friends, high in calories, high in fat, refined carbohydrates, combined with less exercise and too lazy to go out, all the calories will accumulate in our blood and body. Over time, chronic diseases will definitely follow Come.”
Finally, Zhang Ruwen also reminded everyone that if you want to enhance your resistance, you can eat more prototype foods to supplement dietary fiber, minerals and B complexes, as well as high-quality protein and omaga3 and 6, and maintain a ratio of 1:3, which can reduce the body’s weight loss. Inflammation reaction, also remember to eat more fruits with high vitamin C content, and appropriate supplement of probiotics to increase the good bacteria in the body, the most important thing is to increase the frequency of outdoor activities, sufficient sun exposure will make the body secrete serotonin , Serotonin stimulates the pineal gland at night, causing the pineal gland to release melatonin, which promotes better sleep at night.
