Keywords: influenza prevention in winter
The main symptoms of a cold:
Influenza is caused by influenza virus. Influenza symptoms affect the whole body, including fever, chills, sweating, general pain, headache, bone pain, muscle pain, fatigue, loss of appetite, cough, nasal congestion and so on. In severe cases, it can lead to pneumonia and other complications, which can be fatal. There are different types of influenza viruses, and new virus varieties will appear every ten years or so.
Caught a cold, what should I eat:
People all know that we should eat easily digestible liquid diet, such as vegetable soup, gruel, egg soup, custard, milk and so on. And they also know that they should eat more foods rich in vitamin C and vitamin E, but what people don't know is that red foods are rich in carotene, such as tomatoes, apples, grapes, dates and strawberries. This is also very helpful for recovery.
When choosing different drugs and foods, it is best to ask the doctor to diagnose or judge what symptoms he has, such as severe fever, swelling and pain in the head, sore throat, thirst, cough, yellow phlegm and so on. Symptoms of exterior-interior syndrome include high fever, headache, dizziness, limb pain, sore throat and dry stool. The symptoms of gastrointestinal cold include fever, nausea, headache, weakness of limbs and so on.
Dietotherapy for colds: You should eat more sweaty and cold-dispelling foods, such as pepper, onion, ginger, garlic, tofu, fresh ginger and brown sugar water. Some studies believe that chicken soup can help people get rid of the flu, and drinking chicken soup can help to expel the virus. Chicken soup contains a variety of amino acids needed by the human body, which can effectively enhance the body's resistance. Drinking chicken soup when you have a cold is suitable for people who are very weak, while people who are very strong and obese should not eat chicken soup with warming and nourishing properties, otherwise it may aggravate the condition.
Dietotherapy for wind-heat cold: eat more foods that help dispel wind and clear heat, such as mung beans, radishes, Chinese cabbage, cabbage roots, mint and tea. You can cook porridge with fresh pear juice and rice while it is hot. During a cold, you should try to eat less or not to eat high-fat, high-protein and spicy food, and don't drink alcoholic drinks, otherwise it will easily lead to the aggravation of your illness. Pear is a cold food in traditional Chinese medicine, which is suitable for cough, chest pain, excessive phlegm and other symptoms caused by wind-heat cold.
Dietotherapy with two senses: the diet should be light and not greasy, which not only meets the nutritional needs, but also increases the appetite. For example, eat more millet porridge and red bean porridge. To ensure water supply, you can drink more acidic juice, such as hawthorn juice, kiwi fruit juice, jujube juice, etc., to increase your appetite. Sour foods such as vinegar, lemon juice and dried plums also have obvious appetite stimulating effects.
Gastrointestinal cold diet: chrysanthemum, Longjing tea, mung bean and brown sugar instead of tea. At the same time, eating more vegetables and fruits rich in calcium, zinc and vitamins, such as radish, pear, kiwi fruit and various mushrooms, can alleviate cold symptoms.
Drink plenty of boiled water after catching a cold, because enough water can dilute the toxins in the blood and accelerate the excretion of metabolites, thus alleviating cold symptoms and shortening the course of disease.
