Just bid farewell to an unfriendly summer, lung cancer patients, again, began to feel the trouble of autumn dryness.
Lung cancer patients themselves are often in a state of decompensation, manifested by cough, chest tightness, shortness of breath, inability to lie flat, etc., and low air pressure in summer, poor air circulation, more likely to increase the burden on the lungs. So, in the face of the autumn dryness that will begin soon, how should lung cancer patients spend it safely?
In traditional Chinese medicine, autumn dryness is one of the causes of the six external sensations, "autumn is mainly dry, and dry qi passes through the lungs". Whether it is warm and dry before the autumn equinox or cool and dry after the autumn equinox, dry air is easy to irritate the respiratory tract and lungs, causing lung damage to dry mouth, dry throat, cough and less phlegm and other symptoms. In a certain year, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University and the Guangdong Provincial Maternal and Child Health Hospital have observed that after entering the autumn, the number of infected diseases in the lungs has also increased, and the number of patients with lung diseases has increased by about 20% compared with the previous season, ranking first among all infectious diseases.
Whether it is warm or cold, it is worse for lung cancer patients.
So, how can lung cancer patients do a good job of nourishing their lungs through self-conditioning?
1. To nourish the lungs, we must first do more deep breathing, let the qi and blood flow, increase the oxygen in the blood, in order to promote aerobic metabolism, enhance immunity, and accelerate the repair of lung cells, so as to achieve the purpose of moisturizing the lungs;
2. Get up regularly, eat, and carry out appropriate activities, such as walking, gymnastics, qigong, flower raising, fishing, etc., in order to increase resistance, but pay attention to not fatigue exercise, and prevent colds and flus;
3, we must work harder on the diet.
