To fight against the virus, it is imperative to provide respiratory protection!

Winter is a high-incidence period for respiratory problems, and the recurrence of the epidemic has made respiratory problems a matter of great concern to the public. Good respiratory protection is conducive to reducing the large-scale spread of the virus and is also an effective means to protect one's own health. Therefore, in daily life, we cannot ignore respiratory protection.

Under what circumstances are respiratory problems likely to occur?

1. Bacteria and viruses invade

Bacteria and viruses invading the respiratory tract can easily induce respiratory problems. Try to avoid bacteria and viruses invading, avoid being in a polluted environment for a long time, and wear a mask when going out.

2. Nose problems

Acute and chronic nasal problems are the main causes of respiratory problems. If you have nasal problems, it is best to deal with them as soon as possible. Failure to treat them in time will induce a variety of respiratory problems. Respiratory problems are relatively common, the causes are relatively complex, and the incidence rate is very high. It is critical to understand the specific causes.

3. Poor body resistance

Poor resistance can induce a variety of respiratory problems. Overwork can lead to decreased resistance and easily cause respiratory problems, so everyone should improve their resistance and pay attention to physical conditioning.

Who are the susceptible groups to respiratory problems?

1. The elderly and infirm

The elderly, children and people with weak constitutions are prone to various physical problems. Winter is also a period for these susceptible groups to pay special attention. Once these people are sick, it may be more difficult for them to recover than the general population.

2. People who are busy at work and under great pressure

We find that many people who are young and healthy often feel unwell and cough constantly. These people are often very busy at work, often work overtime and are under great pressure. After being tired, the immunity is reduced, which makes it easy to have various physical problems.

3. People with chronic physical problems

People with chronic physical problems are the key group to prevent respiratory problems. Once these people develop respiratory problems, the original chronic problems will be stimulated, and if not intervened in time, the chronic problems will be aggravated.

How to protect the respiratory tract?

1. Wear a mask

Wearing a mask is an effective way to block the spread of respiratory secretions. When wearing a mask, in order to avoid weakening the protective effect of the mask, be sure to press the nose clip tightly and make sure the mask fits tightly against the face. Wash your hands before wearing a mask and after touching a used mask. When the mask is stained with moisture or stains, be sure to replace it.

2. Wash your hands frequently

The virus on dirty hands can survive for 70 hours, but it is not easy to survive on clean hands. So make sure to use soap or hand sanitizer and wash your hands with running water, and wipe your hands with disposable paper towels or clean towels. Wash your hands immediately after contacting respiratory secretions, such as sneezing.

3. Pay attention to indoor air quality

Keep the indoor environment clean and tidy, and open windows for ventilation in time. In particular, some parents smoke, so they must not smoke in the house, which can easily lead to indoor air pollution and is not conducive to the health of themselves and their families.

4. Exercise

To prevent respiratory problems in winter, it is crucial to strengthen physical exercise and enhance resistance. Doing some moderate and regular exercise, such as walking, dancing, jogging, cycling, etc., can improve the body's immunity and maintain one's health.

5. Diet adjustment

In terms of diet, pay attention to supplementing some easy-to-digest, light, and nutritious foods, especially high-quality protein foods, mainly including meat, eggs, milk, and some soy products. Eating fruits such as pears, loquats, and grapefruits can reduce phlegm and moisten the lungs, promote fluid production and relieve coughs, and effectively improve sore throat, coughs, and sputum.

As long as the epidemic continues, we cannot take respiratory protection lightly.
