Have you recovered from a positive test in 2023?

This winter, when the epidemic has been lifted, seems particularly cold. Whether you have not yet recovered or have already recovered, you should pay more attention to your physical and mental health.

Winter health preservation requires both "winter storage" and "nourishing yang" in order to achieve a balance between yin and yang.

After recovering from Omicron, it seems normal, but there are many "after effects" that are troubling everyone. Let's take a look at the health issues that need to be paid attention to after turning negative!

#Baojuan, my voice......

After turning negative, many people experience symptoms such as sore throat, hoarseness, and persistent coughing, all of which are similar to those of a cold that persist after "yang kang". Ordinary cough and sore throat will gradually disappear within 2 weeks, so there is no need to worry excessively.

The so-called Baojuan voice is everyone's self mockery during the epidemic, maintaining a sense of humor and a relaxed attitude, which makes it easier to overcome the virus.

However, if the cough symptoms are severe or persist, especially in cases of recurrent or persistent fever, accompanied by low blood oxygen (decreased oxygen content in the blood) or shortness of breath after activity, it is necessary to be vigilant! This may indicate that you have turned to pneumonia caused by COVID-19, and you need to see a doctor in time.

A friendly reminder: Coughing is also a protective mechanism in the human body, and coughing after infection is caused by the Omicron virus damaging the respiratory mucosa. So don't blindly use cough suppressants (including antibiotics), even if you need to use them, please strictly follow the doctor's advice!

#Jianqiu, my head hurts so much!

Among the five torture cases of COVID-19 infection, there is the item of craniotomy without anesthesia. People who usually have migraines and nerve headaches must have a deep understanding. It is said that this is because the virus attacks the human trigeminal nerve, causing vasoconstriction and inflammatory stimulation, leading to severe headaches.

Netizens with this symptom are no longer "An Lingrong", but have transformed into the empress in the legend of Zhen Huan, with a splitting headache. As the saying goes, a headache is not a disease, but it can be really deadly when it hurts!

The headache caused by COVID-19 will gradually ease after the fever subsides, but if you have severe conditions such as vomiting and syncope caused by headache, you must go to the hospital to see a doctor!

#Oh no, it's not a heartbeat, it's a feeling of heartache

#The term 'exercise induced myocarditis after positive recovery' once went viral.

I'm sure everyone has read many related reports, but can Omicron really cause myocarditis? According to domestic cardiovascular disease experts, there is no favorable evidence that COVID-19 is directly related to myocarditis.

Only a few patients will have adverse myocardial reactions such as palpitation, asthma or tachycardia, bradycardia, etc. two weeks after COVID-19 infection, but this does not prove that the virus will attack the heart. If a young person has never had myocarditis caused by a cold before the age of 25, there is no need to worry too much about suffering from COVID-19 related myocarditis.

Director Shen Chengxing of the Department of Cardiology at the Sixth People's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University said in an interview with reporters:

"COVID-19 infection, respiratory tract involvement, itself will have chest tightness, asthma, palpitations, can not be attributed to myocarditis, but sympathetic nervous tension and excitement, leading to increased myocardial oxygen consumption, will aggravate COVID-19 symptoms." Shen Chengxing reminded young patients, after virus infection must pay attention to rest, in the recovery period should not be strenuous exercise, so that we can avoid many serious situations after myocardial injury.

#Turning negative and positive again, am I Wang Chongyang?

According to research, after being infected with the Omicron virus, regardless of whether there are symptoms or not, 78% of people will not be infected with Omicron for a considerable period of time. But don't take it lightly, because there are multiple subtypes of Omicron, and the reinfection rate after infection is as high as 22%. If you are not careful, you can still regain positive results, and it is said that the symptoms of a second infection will worsen, making your body more uncomfortable.

To avoid secondary infection, in addition to taking necessary protective measures, it is also necessary to actively improve one's own immunity.

The wisdom of our ancestors is infinite. They proposed the following health preservation methods from the perspectives of "winter storage" and "nourishing yang".

winter storage

● Be cautious in daily life

In winter, attention should be paid to "nurturing the heart", maintaining one's demeanor, moderate work and rest, and minimizing unnecessary outdoor activities as much as possible. Keep warm and ventilated, go to bed early and wake up late, and drink plenty of water.

● Keep warm and protected from cold

Pay attention to keeping warm and keeping warm, and wear more clothing; If going out, special attention should be paid to keeping the head and feet warm to avoid the invasion of cold air. Especially for women or those with yang deficiency constitution, they can wait until the sunlight comes out before engaging in activities.

nourish yang

● Eat more warm and supplement less cold food

After the Winter Solstice, it is important to eat more warm foods and eat less or even stay away from cold foods. You can eat some foods such as sea cucumber, lamb, chicken, soybeans, walnuts, chestnuts, ginger, chives, longan, etc. But it should be noted that it should be done according to one's own constitution, and it is not advisable to overeat spicy and hot foods, as well as rich and sweet flavors, which can easily lead to the accumulation of internal heat.

● Nourish yang qi and nourish yin essence

Only when qi and blood are abundant and yin and yang are balanced can a healthy body be maintained. Insufficient qi and blood can easily lead to insufficient yang, which is the root cause of many diseases. In winter, you can also eat more food to replenish qi and blood, such as rice, glutinous rice, peanuts, yams, soybean milk, angelica, ass hide glue, etc.

● Pay attention to sunbathing more

The sun is the source of our natural yang energy, and we should spend more time in winter sunbathing to nourish our hearts and lungs; At noon in winter, you can sunbathe the Baihui acupoint on your head to promote blood circulation and enhance the body's qi function.

In terms of diet, we can also regulate intestinal health by supplementing with prebiotics and probiotic products to increase the body's immunity by 70%.

After extensive research, scientists have found that some dead probiotic cells and their active metabolites are equally effective in promoting intestinal health and enhancing the body's immune system, even better than the original live bacteria. In 2021, the International Probiotics and Prebiotics Association defined these physiologically functional dead bacterial cells, their lysates, and metabolites as prebiotics.

Postnatal elements are not afraid of changing external environments, resist the erosion of extreme gastrointestinal environments such as gastric acid and bile salts, and smoothly reach the intestines, regulate the balance of the gut microbiota, increase the diversity of the microbiota, and thus achieve the goal of improving the human immune system.

The functional prebiotic Health P6 developed by Qingdao Yuanda Biotechnology is a new generation solution for regulating gut microbiota and promoting probiotics. A large number of human clinical validations have shown that Health P6 can regulate intestinal microbiota homeostasis, improve the body's immune system, and has strong environmental adaptability and long-lasting activity. Moreover, the P6 strain is entirely derived from strains independently screened in China, and is a functional raw material developed based on clinical trials of the domestic population, which is more universal for Chinese people.

Even young people after Yangkang will become very weak in their bodies. As a dead bacterial cell, Postbiotics has a higher safety factor and is a milder way of supplementation. In addition, for some seriously ill and immunocompromised individuals, such as cancer patients or infants undergoing cancer treatment, functional prebiotics are a more desirable choice than probiotics. Postbiotics do not need to be taken intermittently with antibiotics, making them suitable for a wider range of people and applications.

Epilogue:

Yang Yu ≠ Complete recovery, although possessing a certain degree of virus immunity, the body is still in the stage of recovery, and one should never underestimate the enemy.

It is recommended that everyone strengthen their observation and monitoring of their own health, slow down their work and life pace appropriately, and avoid staying up late. In terms of diet, it is important to chew slowly, have a light diet, increase protein intake in daily life, eat more vegetables and fruits, supplement vitamins, as well as prebiotic products to enhance the body's immunity.

During the rehabilitation period, high-intensity exercise should also be avoided to avoid disrupting the body's immune function and causing accidents.

I hope everyone can spend this winter healthy and welcome a sunny spring!
