Autumn and winter are seasons when colds are more common. Most autumn and winter colds are caused by cold winds. Strengthening cold prevention and keeping warm after a cold can alleviate symptoms, shorten the duration of the illness, and prevent recurrence.
Firstly, add clothing and bedding.
After catching a cold, the body's ability to resist the cold weakens and the resistance decreases. It is important to add clothing and bedding in a timely manner to enhance the ability to resist the cold and prevent aggravation of symptoms or recurrent colds.
Secondly, soak feet in warm water.
Feet are far away from the heart and have underdeveloped muscles and fat, making them easily affected by cold, leading to general discomfort. After catching a cold, soaking feet in warm water can dispel coldness, accelerate blood circulation throughout the body, increase metabolism, and improve the effectiveness of treatment.
Thirdly, consume hot porridge.
Winter colds often affect appetite, food intake, and digestion and absorption functions, affecting physical strength and immunity. Indulging in raw, cold, and greasy food can easily damage or disturb the spleen and stomach. After catching a cold, it is important to take care of the spleen and stomach. Consuming some hot porridge according to personal taste, such as mulberry porridge, osmanthus jujube porridge, red date glutinous rice porridge, and mutton porridge, can increase nutrition, invigorate the stomach, boost positive energy, enhance immunity, and promote recovery.
