In the hot summer, we must face the heat of the test. The changing climate and hot and humid air provide a breeding ground for the breeding and spreading of germs; the increased consumption of human body weakens the resistance and seasonal diseases also follow suit. With more precautions, you can save trouble. To this end, we specially invite experts to give you summer disease prevention tips. In summer, not only is the temperature high and the humidity is high, it is the peak period of infectious diseases of the intestinal tract and the onset of skin diseases. Therefore, we should pay attention to prevention and health care of multiple diseases in the summer while doing a good job of cooling the sun.

Hot cold

The heat of the day caused us to consume a lot of energy. In addition, the appetite of the average person in the summer is relatively poor. If there is not enough nutrients to be added in time, the body's resistance will fall, and it is easy to catch cold.

In addition, some people prefer to use cold water punches or cold showers when they are hot and sweating. When they sleep, they keep blowing on the electric fans. The air conditioning in the room for a long time causes a large temperature difference between the interior and exterior. These can all cause the summer cold.

High temperature will consume a lot of body fluids, pay attention to drink plenty of boiled water, drinking water to a small number of times, usually 300 ml to 500 ml each time is appropriate, if necessary, you can drink light salt water.

2. Bacterial dysentery

Intestinal disease is a high incidence in summer. Bacterial dysentery is one of the most common intestinal infectious diseases. Apart from being associated with fly breeding activities, it is also related to the gastrointestinal dysfunction caused by the hot food people like to eat cold food. Mosquito infection is also an important way for intestinal infections to occur in the summer. For example, malaria is transmitted through the bite of mosquitoes.

Therefore, in the summer, the food on that day is best not to be eaten until the next day, because the heat of the day can easily make the food spoil, and bacteria can easily grow. Opened fruit, such as watermelon, should be eaten once or sealed with plastic wrap, and then stored in the refrigerator. Even if it is stored in the refrigerator, the time should not exceed 24 hours.

Also, Lu Cai is a popular dish in the summer. However, people who eat Lu Cai can easily eat less if they do not pay attention to hygiene.

4. Heat stroke

In the hot summer, the body sweats more, but the elderly have less water than young people, and the physiological response is slow, so it is most likely to “dehydrate” in the summer.

"Dehydration" can make blood thick, which is tantamount to the elderly who suffer from high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, or cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. It causes blood to the brain to be slowed down, and stroke occurs. The probability of naturally increasing. In terms of prevention, the first thing to do is to add water. Older people want to "drink regularly when they are not thirsty." In patients with a history of stroke, their family members should always pay attention to the patient's symptoms. In general, dizziness, headache, half numbness, and yawning are all signs of stroke. When these symptoms are obvious, they must go to the hospital for treatment and must not be considered as a general cold or fatigue.

Summer cooling should be timely and moderate, diet should be scientific and reasonable, eat some cool foods such as bitter gourd, preserved egg, lotus seeds and so on. "Protecting" drugs must be prepared.

5. "Cold" allergy

In summer, due to high temperatures, children with allergies suddenly enter the air-conditioned room as if they suddenly turn from autumn to autumn, and the upper airway is suddenly attacked by cold air. The trachea and bronchus that are in high-response conditions will reflect on the ground. Causes cough and wheezing.

In addition, summer children like to eat cold drinks, which is also a "cold" stimulus. Many children like to drink plenty of ice soft drinks after exercise. They cough and wheeze in less than a minute. For these children with allergies, summer should start with preventing cold.

First of all, air conditioners should be used as little as possible. Do not enter the air-conditioner room directly at home, and it is best not to use air conditioners when using electric fans. Second, household air conditioners should pay attention to regular cleaning, because dust mites are the main allergens. Finally, do not open the refrigerator after the exercise to pick up the cold drink, you can drink some warm water, try to eat less or do not eat cold drinks.

6. Skin diseases

In summer, due to the hot weather, it is conducive to the growth and reproduction of various fungi and bacteria. In addition, people are prone to sweating in summer and the skin is easily wet. If the skin is not wiped clean and dry, the fungus will invade our skin and cause skin rickets. Contact with people or animals suffering from delirium and public life appliances can be contagious and have a close relationship with the body's resistance.

The most common rickets are tinea pedis, which is what we call "beriberi." People who like to wear leather shoes are prone to beriberi, because the shoes are not breathable, and the humidity and temperature of the feet are increased. If the local skin is not clean, the surface is A lot of dander will accumulate. In this case, the fungus can easily grow and cause rickets. Athletes with athlete's foot are very uncomfortable in summer, because besides redness, erosion, and small blisters in the skin between the toes, itchy and smelly. . In addition, many young men and women are susceptible to tinea corporis and tinea versicolor (sweat spots) in the summer, which is related to the amount of sweat.

Pay attention to personal hygiene, keep the skin dry, use powder in summer, diligently take a shower and change underwear, be sure to wear men's socks with leather shoes to use cotton, so as to absorb sweat and air; don't share shoes and socks, towels; try to avoid swimming pool , gyms and other places walking barefoot.

7. Viral hepatitis

Viral hepatitis, which is easily transmitted in summer, includes hepatitis A and hepatitis E. The main route of infection is fecal-oral transmission. Viral infections are the main source of infection. The large number of hepatitis viruses discharged from the feces can contaminate water, food, and the surrounding environment. Once people are exposed to these pollutants, they may cause the disease. Hepatitis A and hepatitis E occur frequently in summer, mainly due to the increased opportunities for people to travel, swim, eat seafood, cool snacks, produce cold vegetables and fruits, and fly contamination of food is one of the reasons for the spread of hepatitis viruses.

The symptoms of hepatitis A and hepatitis E are similar to those of a cold or stomach, and are often caused by fever, cold, fatigue, lack of diet, nausea, vomiting, and irritancy, and are easily mistaken for a cold or gastritis.

Response measures: Pay attention to food hygiene and prevent illness from entering the mouth. Wash hands before meals and try not to eat raw foods. Before fruits and vegetables are eaten, they must be washed repeatedly. Meat and seafood must be fresh and cooked thoroughly before consumption.

In summer, many people find themselves often awake early. The psychologist reminded that early awakening may be a sign of depression.

The most common is to wake up at 2 pm to 4 pm at the end of the night and you can't sleep anymore. If you wake up to relieve urine due to urgency, you can fall asleep quickly after you finish the solution. Such awakening does not belong to the scope of early awakening. People who wake up early have similar feelings. When they fall asleep for a while, they suddenly wake up inexplicably. They look awake and want to sleep again without drowsiness. Afterwards, it is a combination of imagination, memories, speculations, and reflections on something. In short, the mind is cranky and chaotic. The more people want to get hot, the more they want to feel more irritated, and then they wait so hard that they are almost exhausted every day.

People who wake up early will certainly lack enough sleep time. The next day they will feel tired, chaotic, upset, confused, inattention, and low efficiency. People who have been awake for a long time will also have physical discomfort, such as heart palpitations, chest tightness, backache, abdominal distension, and anorexia. This constitutes a vicious cycle of “slow to sleep, eat no fragrant, and do nothing” and brings serious pressure on people's physical and mental health.

Early wakefulness is a manifestation of sleep disturbances and may be a concomitant symptom of depression. If you often experience early awakening, with depression, lack of energy, decreased interest, emptiness, pessimism, distraction, hesitation, loss of passion, and irritability, consider that you may have entered depression. Or suffer from depression, need to go to the hospital to ask the doctor for further treatment. What needs to be reminded is that early awakening is a major problem of physical and mental health. It is a signal of depression and should not be taken lightly and the best time to lose treatment.
