Tips for Coping with Cold Weather - Your Guide To Better Lungs Health
Get rid of dry and cold air difficulties in winter who are dealing with respiratory problems by following precautions
◦ Maintain a comfortable body temperature by layering warm clothing comfortably. Use a scarf to cover your nose and mouth, and an air mask to protect your airways and lungs from the damaging effects of temperature changes
◦ Avoid using dirty hands to contact your mouth, nose, or eyes by keeping your hands sanitized and germ-free.
◦ Avoid morning jogs if the air quality in your area is poor, as harmful pollutants are at their height at this time. Instead, you might engage in indoor aerobic exercises.
◦ Include some breathing exercises to help strengthen your lungs.
◦ Keep dust, mold, and allergies out of your home. Regularly clean your linens, carpets, rugs, and sofas.
◦ Don’t smoke, and stay away from crowded locations.
◦ Avoid outside activities that could aggravate your respiratory difficulties. People often inhale via their mouth as their breathing and pulse rate increase during exercise, causing discomfort and swelling.
◦ Develop the habit of breathing in through your nose, rather than your mouth. The blood veins in your nose humidify the air before it reaches your lungs. Increased mouth inhalation directs chilly and dry air to your lungs.
◦ Provide adequate ventilation in your home; consider using an air purifier or a humidifier.
◦ Keep hydrated. Take steam as directed by your doctor, but do not experiment with unproven home therapies that may aggravate the illness.
◦ Eat a well-balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and lean protein. Citrus fruits, turmeric, and ginger can all aid in the development of immunity.
◦ Avoid preservatives, additives, and artificial flavors in processed, junk, fried, fatty, and canned foods. They may irritate the throat.
◦ Take flu and pneumonia vaccinations as directed by your doctor. Take medications as directed, have your inhaler ready, and take it at least thirty minutes before going outside in the cold.
◦ People with pre-existing lung diseases or those over the age of 65 should see their doctor on a regular basis to ensure their prescriptions are up to date.
