On a cold winter day, my fan Kobayashi sent a message telling the story of her friend Xiao Wang. Xiao Wang is a girl who loves sports, and even in the harsh winter, she insists on running outdoors.
However, after a recent run in extremely cold weather of -18°C, she noticed severe frostbite on her feet and was immediately rushed to the hospital.
According to the hospital diagnosis, Xiao Wang's feet suffered severe frostbite due to prolonged exposure to low temperatures, and if not handled properly, he may even face the risk of amputation.
Doctors recommend immediate mild physical therapy and a pause from all strenuous exercise. However, both Kobayashi and Ko Wang were worried about this treatment and worried that the recovery effect would not be satisfactory, so they asked me for help.
Gentle physical therapy is very important when dealing with frostbite as it can help improve blood circulation and reduce tissue damage. At the same time, I also reminded Xiao Lin and Xiao Wang that it takes time to recover from frostbite and that they must have enough patience.
Adjunctive treatments can also be performed at home, such as gently massaging the injured area and soaking in warm water, which can help to promote blood circulation and speed up wound recovery.
However, these adjuvant treatments must be carried out under the guidance of a doctor to avoid the wrong treatment that can lead to worsening of the condition. The importance of preventing frostbite.
When exercising outdoors in extreme cold environments, wear appropriate warm gear, especially for areas of the hands and feet that are susceptible to frostbite.
If you feel numbness in your body part and feel unconscious while exercising outdoors, stop exercising immediately and seek a warm environment. In terms of diet, I recommend Xiao Wang to add some foods that help promote blood circulation, such as ginger, garlic, etc.
At the same time, maintaining adequate water intake helps to maintain blood flow and is also beneficial for wound recovery. For any outdoor sport, especially in extreme weather conditions, it is important to be fully aware of the potential risks and take the necessary precautions.
Through this experience, Xiao Lin and Xiao Wang deeply realized the importance of safety exercise, and decided to pay more attention to personal protection in cold weather in the future to avoid similar accidents.
The protection of the skin should not be neglected. I recommend that you should pay attention to the protection of your skin, whether you are doing outdoor sports or in your daily life.
For example, in the cold winter weather, applying a moisturizer can help lock in moisture in the skin and prevent it from drying out and cracking. In addition, it is important to wear appropriate clothing to protect the hands and feet, especially those that are prone to frostbite, such as the hands and feet.
In daily life, adequate sleep and moderate hydration can help maintain the normal function and health of the skin. In addition, a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals.
Fresh fruits and vegetables, such as them, are also good for skin health. In Xiao Wang's case, I also recommend that she have regular skin self-exams, especially after experiencing extreme weather conditions.
If you notice abnormal changes in your skin, such as color changes, persistent itching, or dry and cracked skin, you should seek medical attention and seek help from a professional dermatologist.
Whether it's outdoor activities in extreme climatic conditions or everyday life, appropriate protection measures should be taken.
Through this story, we not only learned how to protect ourselves in bad weather, but also realized the importance of daily skin care. Only in this way can we better protect ourselves and enjoy a healthy and active life.
