In the Lunar Year of the Tiger, coinciding with the tenth year of guangzhou daily's launch of the "Famous Doctors' Great Year", eighteen famous doctors in Guangzhou jointly sent the citizens the "health benefits" of the New Year of the Tiger.
Li Wenyuan, President of Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University:
Blessings: On the occasion of the new year, I hope that everyone will gather a little less, rest a little more, smoke and alcohol a little less, exercise a little more during the Spring Festival holiday, and wish everyone: the Year of the Tiger! Dragon Leap! Do it! Good luck!
Health Reminder:
While celebrating the New Year, it should be noted that this is also a period of high incidence of gastrointestinal diseases, of which the highest incidence is acute gastroenteritis, the second is acute pancreatitis, and the third is the disease caused by drinking alcohol, such as gastrointestinal damage, or liver damage, and even gastric mucosal bleeding, etc. These diseases and symptoms will be more frequent than usual on holidays, especially the Spring Festival. The high incidence of gastrointestinal diseases during the Spring Festival has a lot to do with people's bad living habits, of which improper diet and irregular eating are the main reasons for inducing gastrointestinal diseases.
Gastrointestinal diseases of holidays can actually be prevented, and it can be safely spent by grasping the three major points. First of all, pay attention to the source of food, ensure safe, hygienic and clean food, and avoid eating food of unknown origin; secondly, the processing of food must be guaranteed, food should be cooked, as little as possible to eat raw and cold food, causing gastrointestinal discomfort, at the same time, when handling food, raw and cooked food must be treated separately; in addition, when eating, it is necessary to grasp the amount, do not eat too much, too much intake can easily induce acute pancreatitis. At meal times, you need to eat regularly.
Patients with high blood pressure should pay attention to personal health care in winter, appropriately adjust their work and rest, medication and pay attention to maintaining a healthy lifestyle, which can help everyone spend a happy new year. Because human blood pressure is different with the change of climate, summer temperature is high, blood pressure is relatively stable; and low temperature in winter, not only reduces the elasticity of our blood vessels, but also stimulates the human sympathetic nervous system, which will lead to an increase in peripheral resistance of blood vessels, so that blood pressure rises.
Therefore, for patients with hypertension, winter is also a high incidence of cardiovascular events, and it is particularly important to control blood pressure in winter. It is recommended that patients with hypertension, especially those located in colder areas, monitor their blood pressure more intensively in winter, and it is best to consult with a specialist in a regular hospital whether they need to increase or adjust their medications. During the New Year, it is inevitable that there will be activities such as playing mahjong and setting off firecrackers, and everyone must pay attention to improving safety awareness and avoid accidental injuries of fireworks and firecrackers. Staying up late is a bad habit for both normal people and patients with high blood pressure, especially in winter. Patients with hypertension try to set off firecrackers as little as possible, noise, smoke and other stimuli are not conducive to the health of hypertensive patients. Sitting too long while playing mahjong, drinking water infrequently, and staying up late may increase the risk of venous thrombosis in the lower extremities.
