1、 Why is there a high incidence of lung disease in winter?

1. Severe cold and dry winter

Winter is a cold and dry season, and many people's lungs are in a dry state. In addition, when cold air blows, it is more likely to peel and crack like the skin, greatly reducing the body's purification and defense functions. If the lungs are not moistened and dried in time, the self repair ability and ecological regulation ability of the lungs will sharply decline, and viruses and bacteria will only gather more and more deeply, which can cause related lung diseases, And it also leads to immune system disorders, triggering various complications.

2. Environmental pollution such as haze continues to intensify

In winter, there is often haze. If we repeatedly inhale a large amount of haze particles for a long time, these pollutants will adhere to the surface of alveoli and small airways, destroy the function of cilia system, reduce their ability to clear haze particles, slowly induce inflammation, and ultimately affect gas exchange or secondary diseases.

2、 How to nourish the lungs in winter?

1. In autumn and winter, it is important to nourish the lungs and do more breathing exercises

The autumn and winter seasons are high incidence periods for respiratory diseases. Respiratory exercises can improve symptoms such as chest tightness, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, and wheezing in patients with respiratory diseases, adjust and enter the body's breath, improve the function of the body's organs, and thus enhance the body's immunity.

2. Moderate exercise

In winter, outdoor activities are relatively reduced. You can go out and do appropriate activities after the sun comes out, such as fitness Qigong Eight Section Brocade, Tai Chi, etc. When air pollution is severe, one should avoid going out. If going out, one needs to wear an anti haze mask and pay attention to keeping warm. Perform breathing exercises 1-2 hours after meals every day, including simple abdominal and lip tightening exercises, simple breathing exercises, and more. Three times a day for 5-10 minutes each time.

3. Appropriate home oxygen therapy.

For patients with stable oxygen partial pressure below 60mmHg, pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary heart disease, and right heart failure, continuous low flow oxygen inhalation is recommended. The flow rate of oxygen inhalation is 1-2 liters per minute, and the best time for oxygen inhalation is 15-20 hours per day. Patients with extremely poor lung function can use non-invasive home ventilators in addition to home oxygen therapy. People with excessive phlegm can also undergo home nebulization treatment, which is beneficial for moistening the respiratory tract and diluting thick phlegm.
