In winter, the metabolism of the human body slows down to maximize energy conservation, but at the same time, it also reduces the ability of the human body to resist diseases. The mortality rate in most regions of the world is highest in winter, which is also a high incidence period of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and respiratory diseases. People can skillfully “decipher” the omens of diseases through weather forecasts.
cold
Although colds occur all year round, autumn and winter are the high incidence periods. There are two kinds of weather leading to the peak of cold incidence. One is the invasion of cold air, especially the first cooling after the transition of autumn and winter. If the minimum temperature drops from above zero to below zero, a large number of people will catch cold in 1-2 days.
If the daily minimum temperature continues to be below zero, the number of cold patients will gradually decrease; The second type is cold high-pressure weather after cold air passes through, and people are also prone to colds.
When cold air invades, the daily average temperature and the minimum temperature drop significantly, and the difference between the two days can even be more than 10 degrees Celsius. This sudden cooling makes it difficult for people’s temperature regulation function to adapt. If people don’t pay attention to keeping warm, they are easy to catch cold.
joint pain
In the transitional season between autumn and winter, the meteorological elements change dramatically, and the strong cold air in late autumn and early winter can cause the onset of joint pain. Generally speaking, if the temperature changes by more than 3 degrees Celsius, the air pressure changes by more than 10 kPa, and the relative humidity changes by more than 10%, there will be more patients with joint pain.
Moreover, the pain attack may also occur the day before the weather changes, which is the origin of “old injury pain will rain tomorrow”. Therefore, patients with arthritis and other injuries should strengthen exercise at ordinary times to improve and regulate joint function and reduce joint pain. Warm and moisture repellent measures shall be taken before the weather changes.
tracheitis
Most of them recurred in winter, with obvious seasonality. Not only the prevalence of chronic bronchitis is related to climate, but also its aggravation or recurrence is related to weather. In the north, when the temperature difference on the same day is large, the temperature difference on the next day is large, the relative humidity is high, and the wind speed is high, the number of patients with chronic bronchitis will increase. It can be seen that the recurrence and aggravation of chronic bronchitis are related to cold, and chronic bronchitis can be prevented through cold tolerance exercise and physical strengthening.
