Recently, many places are snowing, as the saying goes, cold before the frost, cold after the snow, a sudden drop in temperature on the body’s coronary arteries, under the stimulation of cold air, but also contraction, resulting in vascular occlusion, the myocardium began to ischemia, hypoxia, resulting in cardiac malfunction, inducing angina, myocardial infarction and other symptoms. In addition, the sudden drop in temperature will also cause blood pressure fluctuations, slow blood flow, which will make the blood pressure rise, prompting the occurrence of cerebral hemorrhage. To prevent the occurrence of stroke, such as dizziness, severe head pain, blurred vision, etc., we must pay special attention. So in the snow day more need to keep warm and healthy, the following eight daily care methods, we look at it!

Can unblock the meridians, enhance the circulation of local Qi and blood, greatly enhance the cold tolerance of the nose, effective prevention of colds and nasal disease.
4. The neck is the most important part of the nerve center and the most active part of the spine, and it is also a necessary path for the cardiovascular system. Therefore, it is necessary to wear a scarf when going out in winter to prevent the constriction of the blood vessels in the neck due to the cold wind, which is beneficial to the prevention of hypertension and cardiovascular diseases.
