Spring blossoms and everything recovers
Stay away from allergens to prevent asthma
With the arrival of the Spring Festival, spring has also arrived as promised. Spring blossoms, everything recovers, this season full of vitality and vitality, is also a season that is very easy to induce asthma exacerbations or aggravation. How can I get away from asthma and live a healthy and happy New Year?
"The scientific prevention and treatment of asthma cannot be ignored. Soon to be the New Year, family reunion, health and safety is very important, people with a history of asthma should be more protective at this time. According to Professor Chen Ruchong, deputy director of the Department of Allergy (Allergy) of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, asthma is a common chronic airway inflammatory disease that can be divided into allergic and non-allergic asthma, the most common of which is allergic asthma. Asthma is often clinically manifested as recurrent coughing, wheezing, chest tightness and other symptoms. According to the 2015 Global Burden of Disease Study, there are 358 million people with asthma worldwide. There is precedent for asthma exacerbations that can be life-threatening, such as the famous musician Beethoven and the famous female singer Teresa Teresa Teng, who have died of acute asthma attacks.
"Exposure to allergens or exposure to external environmental stimuli can lead to asthma attacks or exacerbations. Allergens can include inhaled and ingested allergens. Chen Ruchong introduced that common inhalation allergens include dust mites, pollen, fungi, pet hair/dander, cockroaches and so on. In Guangzhou, after February every year, the mango tree and the kapok around February and April have ushered in the flowering period, and its pollen and kapok wool may be the main factors leading to asthma attacks.
"Common food allergens include milk, eggs, fish, wheat, peanuts, soybeans, crustaceans and tree nuts." Chen Ruchong reminded that during the Spring Festival, people with food allergies should pay more attention to diet control, especially the intake of high-protein foods that are easy to be sensitive such as seafood.
"There are differences in the triggers for different asthma patients." Chen Ruchong pointed out that in addition to the above-mentioned inhalation and ingestion allergens, the triggers for asthma attacks include viral infections such as influenza viruses, drugs such as aspirin, acetaminophen, pollutant exposure such as smoking, excessive exercise and psychosocial factors. Therefore, in daily life, it is necessary to know and understand the causes of oneself and avoid contact as much as possible to prevent asthma attacks. Changes in lung function can be monitored using a peak expiratory flow meter, and an asthma diary can also be recorded, including the temperature, pressure, diet, exercise, drug use and response of the day, which can help assess asthma severity, control level and treatment response, and clarify asthma attacks and treatment rules.

Healthy City
Asthma can be prevented, controllable and treatable, and we do not have to talk about "asthma" discoloration. Neighbors with a history of asthma remember that avoiding exposure to precipitating factors, learning to self-monitor and manage the disease, and following the doctor's instructions to standardize the use of drugs are the keys to fighting a "protracted war" to prevent asthma. Happy Year of the Tiger! Live dragons and tigers, tigers and tigers are mighty!

Stay away from coronary heart disease Keep these four points in mind
"As we all know, the heart is the 'power' organ of the human body, just like the motor of the pumping machine, which is responsible for sending nutrients from the blood to the various organs." Lu Mingjun, chief physician of the Department of Cardiology of the First Hospital of Guangdong Medical University, pointed out that many organs of the human body can rest, but the heart cannot rest, it must maintain a moderate beating at all times, just like the operation of the motor is the need to burn oil, the heart "pulsating" also needs to supply blood to itself. The blood vessels that supply the heart itself with blood are called coronary arteries. When coronary arteries lesions - the main reason is that harmful substances such as cholesterol in the blood are constantly deposited on the blood vessel wall - resulting in narrowing of blood vessels to reduce the blood supply to the heart, or various factors such as hypertension, diabetes, smoking, inflammation, etc. lead to damage to the endovascular lining, resulting in blood clots, blocking blood vessels, causing chest tightness chest pain or sudden death, it is called coronary heart disease.
The following 10 groups of people are prone to coronary heart disease:
1. Dyslipidemia; 2. People with hypertension; 3. Diabetic patients; 4. Smoking; 5. Obesity; 6. Lack of exercise; 7. Have bad eating habits: like high-calorie, high-sugar or too salty and greasy diet, especially those who excessively consume animal fats and animal offal; 8. Excessive alcohol consumption; 9. Have familial inheritance; 10. People who stay up late and have high mental stress.
The Spring Festival is coming, how to prevent and stay away from cardiovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease? Lu Mingjun gave the following four suggestions:
1. Keep your mouth shut: reasonable diet, eat and drink moderately, diet three low three more, that is, low salt, low fat, low sugar diet, appropriate more high-quality protein, more vegetables, more fruits; in addition, to quit smoking and limit alcohol; control weight, especially obese people, it is recommended not to eat snacks or eat supper, control the total daily calorie intake.
2. Open the legs: coronary heart patients should also exercise appropriately, the form of exercise is not limited, indoor walking, outdoor walking, jogging, climbing, swimming, playing ball can be. Exercise should be done according to one's ability, not too vigorously, to the extent of not causing symptoms (discomfort), if it causes discomfort to reduce the intensity of exercise.
3.

Coronary heart disease is not a terminal disease, it is preventable and treatable, but it should be paid enough attention. There are four things to keep in mind every day, especially during the Spring Festival: keep your mouth shut, open your legs, follow the doctor's advice, and be in a good mood. To control the mouth is to eat reasonably, to eat and drink during the festival; to open the legs is to exercise properly, and not to stay at home during the festival. In addition, people with cardiovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease, even if it is a festival, must follow the doctor's instructions to take medication on time and in quantity to control the disease; finally, the mood is very important, let go of worries, release anxiety, and wish everyone a healthy and happy year!

During the festival, Mohu eats the sea and drinks
Be careful that the stomach and intestines cannot be consumed
"During the festival, not only the middle-aged and elderly, but even young people with strong digestive ability cannot eat and drink, so as not to induce digestive tract diseases." Chen Kequan, deputy chief physician of the Department of Gastroenterology of the First Hospital of Guangdong Medical College, reminds that it is necessary to have a degree when gathering with relatives and friends, drinking freely, and tasting food. Every day, big fish and big meat, a happy drink will be excessive, the stomach is easy to eat.
He shared a case, that is, during the Spring Festival last year, there was a young man who wanted to vomit with stomach pain, although he found some stomach medicine to eat, but still did not get better significantly, even dizzy, looking at things a little blurry, the color of the stool turned black, so the third day of the New Year went to the hospital for treatment. A gastroscopy was done and it was found that it was a duodenal bulb ulcer.
"In fact, peptic ulcer is a relatively common digestive system disease, including gastric ulcer and duodenal bulb ulcer, especially in the relatively cold season of winter and spring, which is prone to disease, and foods such as alcohol and spicy stimuli may induce disease." Chen Kequan learned that because of the company's good performance, the young man had a high year-end award, and when he was happy, he gathered with relatives and friends a few times during the holiday, drank a few more wines, and ate a lot of spicy and stimulating food.
"That's right." Combined with this case, Chen Kequan reminded that the common symptoms of peptic ulcer are abdominal pain, most of which are chronic and repeated abdominal pain, sometimes aggravated by precipitating factors, generally located under the sword process or in the right upper abdomen, the degree ranges from tolerable hidden pain burning pain to obvious abdominal pain. Stomach ulcers are generally worse than abdominal pain when ingesting food, while duodenal bulbous ulcers relieve abdominal pain when food is ingested, which is related to the fact that food may neutralize some stomach acid and thus reduce the stimulation of stomach acid to duodenal ball ulcers. Some people may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, acid reflux belching, and if there are blood vessels in the ulcer, it can also cause bleeding from the ulcer foci. Due to the action of stomach acid, the bleeding will become a black stool and dissolve, resulting in the emergence of black stool. In addition, due to bleeding, it can cause different degrees of anemia, and then there are symptoms such as dizziness, black eyes, and fatigue. A large amount of bleeding can also cause an increase in heart rate, a decrease in blood pressure and even hematemesis.
"In case of accidental overeating and drinking during the festival, the above symptoms must be diagnosed as soon as possible." Chen Kequan suggested that away from the troubles of digestive tract diseases, three meals a day should be regular, quit smoking and limit alcohol, coffee strong tea and carbonated drinks have a degree of intake, eat less spicy and other foods that may stimulate damage to the gastric mucosa. In addition, we must maintain a positive and optimistic attitude, exercise appropriately, and try not to stay up late.
"In short, the New Year should be the same as daily life, maintain good living habits, which is one of the keys to stay away from various diseases." Chen Kequan added.
