Air conditioning has become a standard in summer. Bad air-conditioning will get sick, but air-conditioning disease is not a real disease. It refers to the physical discomfort caused by excessive use of air-conditioning, which will have a potential impact on health. To avoid "air-conditioning disease", mastering the skills of air-conditioning is the key.
To: joint pain
Lift your legs, stretch your legs and rub your legs at regular intervals
Air conditioning makes grandma Peng, 70, love and hate. She is fat, afraid of heat and sweating. Her body craves the coolness brought by air conditioning, except her knees. She was diagnosed with osteoarthritis at the beginning of the year. When she came on, her knees were painful, it was difficult to stretch and bend, and she couldn't sleep all night. Last week, she went to play mahjong, wore a skirt and didn't take special joint protection measures. She stayed in the cool room with the air conditioner on for a day. The next morning, she was sent to the osteoarthritis Department of the second people's Hospital of Hunan Province for diagnosis and treatment because of unbearable knee pain.
Health analysis:
Wu Ke, deputy chief physician of the Department of osteoarthritis of the hospital, said that cold air or huge temperature difference will lead to muscle and vascular contraction, resulting in joint pain. People with joint problems (such as meniscus damage, rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, etc.) should pay more attention.

So, citizens should not only protect their joints, but also enjoy a cool environment. What posture should they use to turn on the air conditioner? Wu Ke reminded us to pay special attention to the following aspects:
First, try to avoid staying in the air-conditioned room for a long time. If working in the air-conditioned room for a long time, women had better put on spare long sleeved clothes, and their knees had better be protected with towels or thick clothes.
In addition, stand up and move at regular intervals to improve peripheral blood circulation. The following three steps help to keep your knees healthy and relieve joint pain. Step 1: sit on the floor, straighten your back, extend your right leg to the front, bend your left knee and put your feet flat; Straighten your right leg as far as possible and press it down. Relax after holding it for 10 seconds, and alternate your legs; Step 2: the posture is the same as that in step 1. Keep your toes upward, raise your right leg up to 15cm, hold it for 6 seconds, put down your right leg, and alternate your legs; Step 3: sit on the chair, put your feet flat on the ground, straighten your right leg forward until your thigh is parallel to the ground, keep it for 6 seconds, put it down, and alternate your legs. The above actions should be completed in two groups, 10 times in each group, 3 ~ 5 times a week.
If the knee pain is caused by a simple cold, sit down first and straighten the painful leg; Then rub around the knee joint with the palm of your hand (with a little force). It is appropriate to heat the knee for about 2 to 5 minutes each time; Rub the pain points around the joint with your thumb for 20 ~ 30 times, and press the relevant acupoints (such as blood sea, Liangqiu, inner and outer knee eyes, Yanglingquan and Zusanli); You can push the patella up, down, left and right for 20 ~ 30 times with your own tolerance; Push the upper and lower ends of the knee joint 10 ~ 20 times, and then rub the whole knee joint with both hands for 1 ~ 2 minutes. It is worth reminding that the massage process must not be too hard, and the action should be slow and gentle.
To: dizziness and headache
Every other hour, go outside for air
Mr. Liu is a white-collar worker in an office in Changsha. He spends almost all his working hours in the air-conditioned room. At about 0:00 p.m. on June 18, Mr. Liu, who had just finished his shift, got up and prepared to go home. Suddenly, he felt that the world was spinning, and he still didn't get better the next day. Colleagues sent him to the Provincial Second People's Hospital for diagnosis and treatment. After the inspection, no problems were found.
Health analysis:
According to Dr. Huang Xiaosong, director of the third Department of Neurology in the hospital, Mr. Liu's situation is actually a reaction caused by too much air conditioning, resulting in brain nerve imbalance.
In fact, there is a balance mechanism inside the human brain. If you stay in a closed air-conditioned room for a long time, the brain will lack oxygen, which will destroy this balance mechanism, resulting in dizziness, headache and dizziness.
People who work and study in offices and office buildings with central air conditioning on for a long time often have similar symptoms. In addition, people with migraine and other brain and nervous system diseases are also high-risk groups for such "air conditioning diseases".
Skill sharing:
How to avoid the occurrence of such "air conditioning disease"? Dr. Huang Xiaosong reminded: first of all, we should try to avoid blowing into the air conditioner, especially the head and face; In the process of blowing the air conditioner, open the window frequently to ensure the convection of indoor and outdoor air. Open the window at least once every morning and evening for 30 minutes each time. And it is best to clean the air conditioner once a week; The air conditioning temperature should not be adjusted too low. Generally, it should be controlled at about 25 ~ 26 ℃, and the indoor and outdoor temperature difference should not be too large. Generally, it should be 3 ~ 5 ℃; Every other hour, go out of the air-conditioned room for air and fresh air.
