Key points of winter children's health care knowledge

Entering winter, the weather is cold and the climate is dry, which is a season with frequent colds. Parents and kindergartens should pay more attention to protecting their children's health and preventing the occurrence and prevalence of respiratory diseases such as colds.

First of all, a reasonable diet

A reasonable diet can enhance children's disease resistance and cold tolerance. As the saying goes, "fish makes a fire, meat produces phlegm, and green vegetables and tofu keep it safe." Traditional Chinese medicine believes that fishy and greasy foods such as fish, crab, shrimp and fat meat may contribute to dampness and phlegm, and some may also cause allergic reactions and aggravate the condition. Spicy products such as pepper, pepper and ginger can stimulate the respiratory tract, but the cough is aggravated, so we should pay attention to avoid it. It is necessary to supplement foods containing methionine and inorganic salts to improve the body's cold resistance. Therefore, we should eat more foods containing methionine in winter, such as sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, dairy products, leafy vegetables and so on. In addition, medical research shows that people's fear of cold is closely related to the lack of inorganic salts in their diet. Therefore, we should eat more vegetables with roots in winter, such as carrots, lilies, sweet potatoes, lotus roots and Chinese cabbage, because the roots of vegetables contain more inorganic salts. The content of calcium in human body can directly affect the flexibility and excitability of human heart, blood vessels and muscles, and calcium supplementation can also improve the cold resistance of human body. Foods containing more calcium are: milk, bean products, shrimp skin, kelp, Nostoc flagelliforme, sesame sauce and so on. The cold climate has strengthened the oxidation function of human body, and the vitamin metabolism of human body has also changed obviously, which is prone to symptoms such as dry skin, chapped skin, angular stomatitis and cheilitis. Therefore, vitamin B2 should be supplemented in time in the diet, mainly in animal liver, eggs, milk, beans and other foods; Foods rich in vitamin A include animal liver, carrots, pumpkins and dried sweet potatoes. Vitamin C is very important in fresh vegetables and fruits.

Second, timely increase or decrease clothing and quilts.

Dress reasonably and increase or decrease in time. Many parents think that children are definitely more afraid of the cold than adults. They often cover their children too thick and wrap them too tightly to prevent them from catching a cold, regardless of the season and indoor and outdoor conditions. When a child moves a little, his underwear is soaked with sweat, but he won't say that he wants to change his underwear, so he can only dry his wet clothes by his own body temperature, which is easy to catch a cold and harmful to his health. For children who are active and easy to sweat, they can put a towel on their back when playing or change clothes in time after playing, and at the same time, they should increase or decrease with the climate change, and take off their coats before activities or when entering a heated room. You'd better wear a mask when you go out to avoid catching a cold. Cover the bedding at night, and parents or nurses Qin Ying will check it. Cover the child with bedding in time to avoid catching cold. Otherwise, it will often lead to other diseases, such as pneumonia, myocarditis, lobar pneumonia and acute nephritis.

Third, keep the indoor air fresh and pay attention to the room temperature.

Dirty air will cause bad stimulation to respiratory mucosa, which can make respiratory mucosa hyperemia, edema, abnormal secretion or aggravate cough, and even cause wheezing symptoms in severe cases. Therefore, it is necessary to keep the indoor air fresh, the kitchen fume should be discharged, parents should not smoke at home, and open the window for air in time. Slightly cold fresh air can make the respiratory mucosa contract, reduce congestion and swelling, and keep the respiratory tract unobstructed. However, if the temperature is too low, the digested and absorbed nutrients will be used for oxidation to generate energy to maintain body temperature, thus weakening the disease resistance and affecting growth and development. The suitable temperature is 25-28℃, which is called neutral temperature. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to maintain this temperature, but the room temperature can not be too high or too low, and the doors and windows can be opened and closed appropriately.

Fourth, stick to outdoor activities and get more sunshine.

Winter is coming, and some parents are afraid that their children will freeze. When the weather is cold, they won't let their children go out. Children's breathing will not be stimulated by the outside air for a long time, and they will not get cold-resistant exercise. After contact with cold patients, it is easy to get sick because of poor resistance to pathogens. Therefore, we should insist that children do more outdoor activities. Proper exercise and exercise can enhance children's physique and immunity, thus resisting the erosion of pathogens on the body. Don't take the children outdoors because you are afraid of freezing. When the weather is fine, it is necessary to go out more and get some sunshine. Ultraviolet rays in the sun can kill viruses and bacteria on the surface of the human body, help children absorb calcium and phosphorus, and enhance the body's disease resistance.

In short, if kindergartens and parents can pay more attention to some details of life, cultivate children's good hygiene habits and living habits, and strengthen exercise, they can reduce the chances of children catching a cold and let them grow up healthily and happily.
