Yangtze River Daily, August 21, 20 Sunrise, facing the beginning of school, how can children stay healthy in the autumn? Cover the quilt, eat yam, autumn pear, wear anti-mosquito small sachets... Dr. Cai Jianxin, director of pediatrics at the Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, provided students with a health guide for the opening of the fall semester.
It is understood that on the occasion of summer and autumn, continuing the summer heat, children are prone to gastrointestinal diseases, such as vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain and other gastrointestinal discomfort, as well as respiratory diseases, such as colds, coughs, etc. Children are more than hot and heavy, easy to be greedy, and it is easy to hurt the lungs and stomach. Autumn is a very good season, autumn is high and refreshing, and people's spirits are easy to refresh. With the departure of the summer heat, the weather will cool down slightly after the autumn, and some children whose appetite and digestion are not very good will also become better. Therefore, autumn is also a good time for health care.
Autumn clothing to keep warm: as the saying goes, "spring cover autumn freeze", in autumn, if the temperature change is more obvious, you can add clothes in time, but try to keep the "frozen" state is better. Autumn add clothes can not be added too quickly. Autumn sweating is different from summer, summer itself is very hot, sweating in the natural environment is not easy to get sick, but sweating in autumn, in the natural environment is easy to catch a cold. Therefore, when sweating in autumn, try to wear dry, breathable clothes, do not cover sweat, otherwise it is very easy to get cold.
Autumn diet: Autumn supplements should also conform to the seasons, the doctors of the Municipal Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital suggested that in terms of dietary therapy, sand ginseng, prince ginseng, lilies, etc. can be used to cook porridge and stew soup, which can play a role in strengthening the spleen and strengthening the spleen, moisturizing the lungs and so on. In addition, you can also eat more autumn pears to help moisturize the lungs and intestines. Some children have weak spleen and stomach function, so in the autumn you can take yam to help strengthen the spleen and stomach.
Living environment and travel advice: Some children wearing masks are prone to irritability and other discomfort, at this time parents should try not to take their children to places with many people when traveling, so as to avoid cross-infection. In addition, after the child falls asleep at night, parents should pay attention to controlling the temperature of the air conditioner. Doctors recommend turning off the air conditioner directly in the second half of the night, or turning the temperature up, using a quilt to protect the child's chest and back, even if sweating, you can't leave the quilt open. Chinese medicine says that "the body is loose, the guard is not solid", the more sweat, the more you have to cover the quilt, as thin as possible.
Mental health protection: According to the theory of Chinese medicine, the most prone to mental illness is spring and autumn. "Autumn depression" when the child may be depressed, irritable insomnia, so parents need to pay attention to their children's physical and mental health, try to eat as little as possible before going to bed, avoid gastrointestinal burden, avoid excessive learning pressure, should take more children to participate in outdoor activities, through exercise to prevent "autumn depression".
As a place for students to live collectively, schools can easily lead to cross-infection, scientific prevention and control, and welcome the opening of the school, on the one hand, they need to understand the local epidemic prevention policies and prepare in advance; on the other hand, students themselves need to pay attention to health protection and improve their own immunity. Dr. Cai Jianxin said that there are many ways to improve immunity in Traditional Chinese medicine, in addition to the "three volt stickers" in summer, you can open an ointment to nourish the yin in autumn and winter, in addition to wearing small sachets of Traditional Chinese medicine formula, repelling mosquitoes and pests, preventing colds, etc. (Yangtze River Daily trainee reporter Wang Han)
