Summer also needs to be warm , how can rheumatism patients spend the summer safely ?

Each rheumatism patient has its own unique characteristics, so in the process of using exercise**, it is necessary to choose the best exercise method according to your own condition. Patients with rheumatism can choose the type or method of their overall or partial exercise according to their condition, and implement it in a planned manner. Such as:

Tai Chi, light gymnastics, walking, jogging, brisk walking, climbing stairs, etc., should be selected according to the degree of their joint disorders, and should not be forced. Rheumatism patients should pay attention to exercising their joints when exercising, so that some lost exercises can promote the functional recovery of damaged joints. Rheumatism patients are the first to be damaged by the joints, and the fusion and rigidity of the joints is the main cause of disability in patients, such as fear of pain and can not exercise, it requires strong perseverance and even needs to take painkillers to carry out, such as limited voluntary movement of the joints, can also be helped by others to carry out passive movements under warmth and massage.

For rheumatologists, summer is a season of contradictions: the joint pain is unbearable when the air conditioner is blown, and the heat is unbearable when the air conditioner is not blown. But in the eyes of traditional Chinese medicine, summer is a good time for rheumatism.

Peng Minghua, director of the acupuncture department of Beijing Royal Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, said in an interview with Life Times that during the year, the body's qi and blood are most vigorous in summer, which is an important reason why traditional Chinese medicine advocates "winter disease and summer treatment". Diseases such as rheumatism, asthma, and recurrent colds are prone to cold attacks in winter, but if some methods are used to warm the body and improve physical fitness in summer, the number of episodes of their winter attacks can be effectively reduced. <>

Although rheumatoid patients are very uncomfortable and painful in winter, they should continue to take ** or reliever drugs in summer to improve the patient's prognosis through a healthy lifestyle.

First of all, for rheumatism, most of which are chronic diseases, cannot be completely ** at present, and it is most basic for these patients to insist on taking drugs. Patients must not blindly stop taking drugs, and at the same time, they also need to go to the hospital regularly for relevant examinations, such as blood routine, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, rheumatoid factor, etc. and ** assess the condition, and then adjust the medication.

Second, the summer of rheumatism is the best time for calcium supplementation, which is conducive to calcium absorption. Because rheumatism patients often have osteoporosis and long-term risk of osteoarthritis, femoral head necrosis and even compression fractures, calcium supplementation is very important, and summer is the best for calcium absorption. Patients should ensure that one sachet of pure milk a day, and at the same time take calcium tablets combined with calcitriol, and calcium tablets are easier to absorb with calcium carbonate, commonly used are Leli Calcium, Calci and Diqiao.

Thirdly, rheumatism patients should do proper physical exercise in the summer to increase the bone strength of the bones as well as the strength of the muscles. Suitable physical exercises for rheumatism include tai chi, walking, swimming, cycling, etc., and try to avoid strenuous weight-bearing exercises, such as mountain climbing and long-distance running.

People with rheumatoid arthritis should try to live in a room with plenty of sunlight and humidity. In the summer, you should avoid being cold, and use air conditioners and fans in moderation. For people with limited finger movement, doorknobs and faucets can be fitted with poles as much as possible to facilitate opening and closing.

Bathrooms should be designed to accommodate the patient's movement, and a larger shower can be used instead of a bathtub, which is taller and often makes it difficult for the patient to step in. Special attention should be paid to anti-slip on the ground, because the patient's joints and muscles are weak, it is not easy to grasp the balance, and it is especially easy to fall and fall and be injured. In the bathroom, install handrails that are easy to grasp as much as possible.

When doing housework, people with rheumatoid arthritis should take a break for a while, change positions frequently, try to use long tools, and reduce bending.

In the summer heat, rheumatoid patients should remember not to be greedy for cold exposure, overdrinking cold drinks, etc. Moreover, we believe that patients with rheumatoid arthritis can blow the air conditioner, but the temperature of the air conditioner should not be turned on too low, and the air outlet should not be directed at the patient. When the patient is in an air-conditioned room, it is best to wear long clothes and pants or cover the affected area to avoid the aggravation or attack of the disease caused by the invasion of cold air.

Tips: Many people think that rheumatism will only "come to the door" in winter, but in fact, its ** hormone is often produced in summer, but because the summer weather is hot, the temperature is too high and does not immediately attack and latent in the body, once it is cold in winter, it will attack or aggravate. From the beginning of summer, it is necessary to pay attention to the prevention of rheumatism, such as wearing long sleeves and long pants when blowing the air conditioner, and strengthening exercise on a regular basis.

At the same time, summer is also a good season for those who suffer from rheumatism themselves.

**How to spend the summer smoothly in rheumatoid patients, remember these three points.

Hot weather is very painful for rheumatoid patients, how can rheumatoid patients escape the heat?

1. Swimming is the best exercise.

Swimming is a very suitable exercise for most rheumatists, with the help of the buoyancy of the water, the weight bearing of the joints can be reduced to the maximum, and at the same time, the limbs can be moved to the maximum, killing two birds with one stone. Especially in summer, swimming can not only cool off, but also play a good role in exercising. ‍

**2. Dry for a while after taking a bath.

It is recommended to dry your whole body after taking a bath, then rest at room temperature for a period of time, and wait for the dilated pores to close again before entering the air-conditioned room. ‍

**3. The diet should not be cold.

Most of the rheumatism patients have a cold constitution, and eating cold products may induce the onset or aggravation of the disease. It is recommended to choose flat or warm foods, especially foods that are diluted and damp, such as winter melon, barley seeds, white lentils, water chestnuts, etc., and should not eat more raw and cold melons and fruits, foods just taken out of the refrigerator and cold drinks. ‍

Rheumatoid is an immune disease of the body, and the exact cause is not yet known. It is manifested by coarse, swollen and deformed bones and joints that cause limited movement, which is called "immortal cancer"!

Rheumatoid patients should try to keep their bodies warm and their blood flow unblocked, especially in the morning, and do some simple activities to avoid joint stiffness. Also, eat less seafood. The living environment is mainly warm and dry, often drying bedding, and using less or no air conditioners and fans.

Always have some plasters or topical anti-pain gels, and that's pretty much it! Summer passes quickly, rheumatoid is different from rheumatism, it will suffer in all seasons, so let's take care of it!
