After "Yangkang", many people always feel weak and lose their appetite; There are also people with gastrointestinal discomfort and often diarrhea. The Spring Festival is approaching, how to live this year, how to eat? Offering Chinese New Year dietary tips, "six points" please remember!
What causes gastrointestinal discomfort?
Although the new crown virus mainly infects and destroys the respiratory tract and lung tissues, the virus is not so "honest" and only stays in the respiratory tract.
Evidence at home and abroad shows that the pathogenicity of the Omicron variant is significantly weakened, and the clinical practice has evolved from pneumonia to respiratory tract infection.
But studies have also found that in the first two weeks after the onset of symptoms, the new coronavirus replicates in multiple non-respiratory sites, including the brain, heart, lymph nodes, gastrointestinal tract, adrenal glands and eyes.
Secondly, even after "Yangkang", due to the damage of the mucosa of the upper respiratory tract, it becomes fragile and sensitive, and a considerable number of people will have a period of cough and phlegm, and the overall oxygen reserve capacity of people at this stage is not comparable to the previous completely healthy period.
Therefore, there will be shortness of breath and chest tightness at the slightest activity.
The human body is a very "smart" body, which will automatically give priority to oxygen energy to important organs, such as the brain and heart. The relatively minor gastrointestinal tract, due to the reduction of blood oxygen supply, will also cause gastrointestinal discomfort during the convalescent period.
In addition, during the onset of a while ago, most of the antipyretic drugs and cold medicines "hoarded" were antipyretic and analgesic drugs; Glucocorticoids, anticoagulants, and antibiotic therapy for secondary infections used in the treatment of severe and critical illness will have an effect on the gastrointestinal mucosa.
These drugs are used too much, the mucous membrane is damaged, and the gastrointestinal tract needs a repair and rehabilitation process.
In addition, the new crown virus infection not only causes damage to our body, in fact, most people's anxiety due to panic and tension about the disease actually has a considerable impact on the human body.
Finally, I have to mention that the Omicron variant - XBB virus, which has recently been hyped up, has a stronger immune escape, so even if "Yangkang" is indeed possible to regain Yang again.
The symptoms of this "little baby" (XBB) virus infection do have vomiting and diarrhea symptoms, but they can usually be relieved in 1~3 days.
Special reminder, as long as you add enough water and electrolytes, do not dehydrate and electrolyte disorders, in fact, it is quite safe.
So, how to eat this year?
In fact, it is said that a thousand ways and ten thousand, to defeat the virus and improve their own immunity is king.
Regardless of whether there is a new crown or not, it is the best policy to create a "King Kong not bad body" during the Chinese New Year and respond to all changes unchanged.
If you want to practice the core of the "Vajra body", it can be summed up in four words: "wash (practice) wash (breath) meteorite (food)".
Xi and Xi are old questions. Xi should still insist on maintaining good personal and environmental hygiene, wash hands frequently, wear masks in public, use chopsticks when eating, and maintain good indoor ventilation every day. Rest is to have plenty of rest. During the New Year, you should avoid staying up late and being overly tired. It is necessary to have a regular routine and ensure sleep. Of course, after "Yangkang", some people have insomnia at night, and some sleep-aiding drugs can also be appropriately used to ensure sleep quality.
Luck is sports, and sports are still a little embarrassing for friends of "Yangkang". Although exercise can strengthen the body, for most people, it is recommended not to engage in strenuous exercise for a period of time (at least 1 month) after Yangkang. Because fatigue, shortness of breath and sleep disturbances often occur in the 3 months after the new crown infection, because it cannot be explained by other diagnoses. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines this phenomenon as "Long Covid," a post-coronavirus syndrome. Therefore, even people with good physique should not be "strong mouths". Strenuous exercise makes the body not get a good rest, and it is still easy to go wrong. Of course, lying completely flat will not work. It is recommended that during the New Year, when there is time to start appropriate activities from walking, walking, or playing tai chi, practicing eight dan jin, starting from low-intensity walking, jogging, starting from 10-15 minutes, and gradually increasing the amount of exercise if there is no discomfort. Of course, there are conditions, it is better to go to the countryside, to the park, to breathe in the fresh air, and stretch your muscles. Food, naturally, is to eat, as the so-called, the people take food as the sky, medicine supplement is not as good as food supplement.
饮食六大牢记：
01 More meat dishes for the New Year, big fish and meat are indispensable. All of our diets eventually convert into three energy elements, sugar, fat, and protein, and protein is the best of the three. It is recommended to have at least one boiled egg (including the yolk) per day, although 2-3 egg whites can also be obtained. One cup of fresh milk a day. If there are no special dietary contraindications, you can also eat more fish, poultry, lean meat, dairy products, soy products, which contain high-quality protein. 02 meals with multigrain staple food now the conditions are good, eat too fine, will correspondingly cause the lack of vitamins and some trace elements, so it is recommended to eat as much as possible, it is best to have 12 kinds of food a day, 25 kinds per week, thick and thin, dark and shallow, dry and thin. Meals should have staple foods, and you can eat relatively many easily digestible grains and potatoes, such as waxy corn, oats, sweet potatoes, etc. 03 Eat more oranges, pears and apples and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, at least 6 taels of vegetables and 4-7 taels of fruits a day. For example, oranges that lower the stomach and relieve the liver, pears that lower the fire and clear the heart, moisturize the lungs and dissolve phlegm, and apples that quench thirst and moisturize the intestines and laxative are all good choices. 04 In the New Year, it is recommended to use more steaming, boiling, and stewing methods to cook food, and use less frying, stir-frying, and frying. Open a large oil pot less in the New Year, firstly, it can reduce the intake of high fat, and secondly, it will reduce the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and make it easier to digest and absorb. 05DRINK MORE UNIVERSAL BOILED WATER TO ENSURE SUFFICIENT WATER INTAKE, UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES, 1500-1700ML PER DAY, WHITE WATER AND TEA ARE RECOMMENDED. If diarrhea is available, the total amount of water can be appropriately increased, preferably lemonade or electrolyte water. 06 The amount of alcohol to be controlled during the festival still needs to eat regularly and control alcohol intake, so as to have a certain protection of the gastric mucosa. Eat regularly and quantitatively every day, do not overeat, increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract.
