This year's Spring Festival seems to be particularly exciting: I can finally go home for the New Year and have a reunion dinner with my parents and friends who have not seen each other for a long time.
But unlike previous years' gatherings, more people began to think about health issues this Spring Festival, after all, many people have just "Yangkang".
After we are infected with the new crown virus, the body enters a relatively vulnerable period, and even if we enter the recovery period, there are some things that cannot be done. Otherwise, it is likely to lead to repeated illness, and even irreparable consequences.
9 tips for you to have a healthy Spring Festival!
01 Don't eat too much
Spring Festival is the most uncontrollable period of the year, if you neglect dietary management and do not exercise moderation during this period, it is easy to eat dangerously.
To achieve a moderate diet, eat a small amount of food, and generally maintain a light diet, there are three things that must be guaranteed:
(1) To ensure energy intake, each meal must have a little staple food for three meals a day.
(2) To have high-quality protein, such as milk, eggs, lean meat, fish, shrimp, etc., first choose easy to digest and absorb.
(3) Supplement some micronutrients, especially from vegetables and fruits.
02 Food supplement should not be "tired"
After the initial recovery of the new crown infection, the body still needs a lot of nutrients to ensure the energy supply of the immune system, but pay attention to the food supplement can not be rushed, must leave enough time for the body to recuperate.
Liu Qingquan, president of Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the supplement after recovery is not good for the body and is prone to problems.
Eating and drinking is not good for the recovery of the body, and even "food reflex", that is, incorrect eating leads to the recurrence of the disease, such as fever symptoms, especially adolescents are more likely to have "food reflexion". Do not eat and drink, especially do not eat greasy and fatty food, to eat a light diet, you can eat one or two eggs a day, drink milk or porridge, eat more vegetables and fruits, to ensure physical recovery.
03 Don't sleep "late"
During the Spring Festival, it is inevitable to break the weekday routine, coupled with the high mood of the festival, it is easy to go to bed late.
Staying up late, this extremely lethal chronic habit, will not only disrupt the biological rhythm, but also lead to a decrease in the body's immunity, easy to infect diseases or aggravate the original condition.
Going to bed early is actually protecting and strengthening your immunity.
The new crown turning yin does not mean the end of the battle with the virus, the body has entered a relatively fragile period after just turning yin, the pace of life and work must slow down, do not stay up late.
04 Don't drink "too much" at parties
It is a habit for many people to drink a little wine during the Spring Festival meal, but alcohol can cause brain excitement, increase heart rate, increase blood pressure, and induce arrhythmia.
Friends who have the habit of drinking alcohol are advised not to drink after "Yangkang". The safe dose of alcohol consumption is "0", not to mention during convalescence.
05 Don't be "tired" during exercise
During the Spring Festival, friends who eat a lot or have long-term exercise habits may not be able to help but want to exercise.
If you want to resume exercise after recovering from the new crown, you can refer to two indicators - speech and heartbeat, and do not immediately return to the previous exercise intensity when exercising.
(1) Speaking: When moving, the intensity should be able to maintain the level of normal communication with people and continuous sentences.
(2) Heartbeat: It is best not to exceed 130 times / minute in the heart rate during exercise. Individual circumstances may vary depending on how comfortable you are.
Don't immediately return to your previous exercise intensity! After this one-month adaptation period, it is relatively safe to gradually increase the intensity.
06 Don't be "cold"
After "Yangkang", when the body is weak and the climate is cold, if you do not pay attention to preventing wind cold, and then be infected with influenza virus or colds caused by wind and evil, not only the uncomfortable symptoms will "return", but the recovery period required by the human body will be further extended. Therefore, it is very important to keep warm and windproof.
When it is cold or windy outside, you should reduce going out to avoid cold directly invading the human body, you really need to go out, wear warm protective gear such as hats, scarves, gloves, etc., do not let your head, neck and other parts be exposed to wind cold.
07 Don't "loosen" mentality
Many people think that after being infected and recovering, with antibodies in the body, you can not do protection and let yourself go?
Guo Wei, deputy director of the Department of Infectious Diseases of Tongji Hospital of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, reminded that under normal circumstances, neutralizing antibodies after infection can protect infected people for 3~6 months. This protection is against the same subtype of coronavirus. For example, after infection with Omicron BF.7, it has a good protective effect when encountering BF.7, but if it is Delta infection before, encountering Omicron may neutralize antibodies without protection. All in all, the greater the difference in viruses, the more limited the cross-protection of neutralizing antibodies.
It is also important to be vigilant against double infection. Some people think that they will not be infected after being infected, so they do not pay attention to prevention, do not wear masks, and it is entirely possible to be infected with the influenza virus in the end.
During the Spring Festival, it is still necessary to wear masks, the current epidemic of the new coronavirus may have a cross-impact on the epidemic trend of other viruses, so it is still important to avoid infection with other viruses by washing hands frequently, wearing masks, and distancing safely.
High blood pressure friends look over!
08 Antihypertensive drugs do not "leak"
At any time, regular and on-time medication should be remembered by hypertensive patients, there are more family affairs during the Spring Festival, easy to cause drugs to be missed, at this time you can set yourself an alarm to remind yourself to take the medicine, to remind yourself to take the drug on time, so as not to cause missed medication and cause fluctuations in blood pressure.
It is also necessary to add a reminder that blood pressure is controlled in the normal range, and the amount of medicine cannot be reduced at will, and it should be carried out in the hospital under the guidance of a doctor.
09 Don't "forget" blood pressure measurement
Home blood pressure monitoring, never forget! Regular monitoring of blood pressure can understand the fluctuation of your blood pressure, so as to timely detect some possible special problems and intervene early.
It is recommended that home measurement choose a verified upper arm electronic blood pressure monitor, master the correct measurement posture, and record the measured blood pressure so that it can also be provided to the doctor as a diagnostic reference during the review.
