Är du benägen att hosta, slem och väsande andning när vintern väl kommer? Var då på utkik efter kronisk obstruktiv lungsjukdom (KOL)!
Kronisk obstruktiv lungsjukdom, eller KOL för kort, är en vanlig, kronisk luftvägssjukdom som kan förebyggas och behandlas som kännetecknas av ihållande luftflödesbegränsning. Studier har funnit att för varje 1 grader Celsius fall i medeltemperaturen för dygnet, den genomsnittliga graden av exacerbation av symtom hos patienter med KOL ökar med 0.8%!
Varför utlöser en temperatursänkning kronisk obstruktiv lungsjukdom?
Våra luftvägar är som ett rör, under normala omständigheter kan luft strömma smidigt in och ut ur lungorna, och luftvägsflimmerhåren kommer att svänga regelbundet för att trycka på slem, samt damm, bakterier, and other foreign matter attached to it, toward the throat to be discharged from the body.
When the temperature decreases, the human airway will have a physiological contraction response, resulting in narrowing of the airway. If the airway itself has different degrees of obstruction and inflammation, it will further aggravate the degree of airway narrowing, och samtidigt, it will stimulate the mucous membrane of the airway, resulting in increased secretion of mucus glands and weakening of cilia motility, which will make it easy for sputum and other secretions to accumulate inside the airway, clogging the airway and breeding pathogens, such as bacteria and viruses, which will in turn This causes inflammation to worsen and promotes the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Dessutom, when the temperature drops, the body’s peripheral blood vessels will contract, including the blood vessels in the lungs. After the blood vessels contract, blood circulation will slow down, the amount of blood flowing to the lungs and other tissues is relatively reduced, bringing less immune cells, nutrients, etc., making the local immune defense ability of the lungs reduced, easily triggering respiratory infections, leading to recurrence and aggravation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
How can I prevent chronic obstructive pulmonary disease?
It is worth mentioning that cigarettes and airborne haze and dust are also an irritant to the airways and can increase the risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. In this regard, you can try the following to prevent chronic obstructive pulmonary disease:
1.Keep warm
Keep warm and wear a scarf to block cold air from irritating your airways.
2.Quit Smoking and Avoid Secondhand Smoke
Overseas studies have found that the risk of developing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (KOL) among smokers is 10.92 times higher than that of non-smokers! Quitting smoking as early as possible can reduce the risk of developing the disease.
3.Take good precautions against indoor and outdoor air pollution
You can reduce going out or wear a mask in hazy weather.
4.Focus on personal hygiene
Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or elbow when coughing or sneezing to avoid droplets spreading germs and to prevent the spread and occurrence of respiratory infections.
Red light effective in relieving symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, study finds
A large number of authoritative literature and clinical studies have found that red light therapy can promote metabolism by enhancing enzyme activity and improving microcirculation, and regulate the body’s immune function to increase the sensitivity of sympathomimetic nerves and reduce airway reactivity. Samtidigt, it can improve blood oxygen saturation, so that the blood supply and oxygen supply of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients can be increased, which significantly relieves the internal inflammation, reduces the occurrence of complications and improves the respiratory function of patients, thus shortening the course of the disease and improving the cure rate.
MERICAN health cabin, by irradiating the whole body, can play a variety of biological roles, gently stimulate the deep tissues and nerve endings, reglera nervledningsfunktionen, minska luftvägsreaktiviteten, och förbättra blodcirkulationen i lungorna, förbättra fagocytosfunktionen, och främja absorptionen av lungsekretionen, alltså effektivt antiinflammatorisk, minska luftvägsmotståndet och minska andningssekretionen, och lindra symptomen på obehag.
Dessutom, MERICAN hälsokabinen innehåller negativ syrejonteknologi, vilket gör att negativa syrejoner kan fördelas jämnt över hela kabinutrymmet, vilket ökar blodets syremättnad, stärker cellulär aktivitet, stärka kroppens immunitet, och bättre främja lungcirkulationen, luftvägssammandragning och återhämtning av andningsmuskelfunktion.
Kall luft kommer ofta på vintern, kronisk obstruktiv lungsjukdom är benägen att uppstå, därför, stärka immunförsvaret, do a good job of preventive measures can not be ignored, once the symptoms of dyspnea, coughing, wheezing, chest pain, etc., it is recommended that timely access to medical care!
