If you want to not catch a cold in autumn, in addition to improving your resistance, there are these methods! Attention to the elderly and children!
The autumn equinox has arrived, the weather has become significantly cooler, and many people are worried about being targeted by colds at this critical moment of the change of seasons.
Therefore, eating oranges to supplement vitamin C can prevent and treat colds, onions can absorb cold viruses, and cold showers are not easy to catch colds...... The "tricks" to prevent colds were once again turned out by everyone.
But in fact—
Scholars from the Australian National University and the University of Helsinki in Finland conducted statistics and analysis on more than 30 studies involving 11,000 people and concluded that for ordinary people, taking vitamin C to prevent and treat colds has no effect, and it is completely unnecessary to take a large amount of vitamin C in order to prevent and treat colds.
Ginger can sweat and relieve the surface, which helps to dispel wind and cold. If you are suffering from a cold, drink a bowl of hot ginger soup, and the patient sweats slightly, which is indeed effective in treating colds. However, if you have a wind-heat cold, you can't treat it with ginger soup.
Seeing that there are people around him who catch a cold, there are many people who rush two bags of banlangen to prevent it. Actually, it's not for everyone.
The root of the radix is bitter and cold, which is more suitable for the wind-heat cold caused by heat in the body, and people with weak and cold constitution and children are not suitable for using the root of the radix.
Experiments have found that smoking vinegar has no significant effect on the number of bacteria in the room, which means that smoking the room with vinegar does not kill bacteria and prevent colds.

In fact, although onions are rich in organic sulfides and have a certain antibacterial effect, it is unreliable to put onions in the room and rely on smell to adsorb cold viruses.
Placing onions at home, except for smelling a little, does not help prevent colds.
Like ginger soup, this method is only suitable for wind chill colds, because wind chill colds are mainly treated by the method of Xinwen Jiebiao, so that the body's sweat discharge will be much more comfortable.

"If you want to be in good health, take a cold shower every day". Many people feel refreshed after taking a cold shower, and persist throughout the year, and even in winter, some people take cold showers to strengthen their bodies and reduce colds.
In fact, for people with poor physical fitness, taking a cold shower will produce a series of stress reactions, such as rapid heartbeat, increased blood pressure, muscle contraction, nervous tension, etc., which not only can not eliminate fatigue, but also easily cause colds, fever and other diseases, which should be avoided as much as possible.
In addition, patients with coronary heart disease, acute hepatitis, hypertension, active rheumatism and high fever should not take cold showers.
"The cold is born from the feet", after autumn, we should pay special attention to the warmth of the feet, and do not go barefoot.
Studies have found that there is a close neural connection between the feet and the mucosa of the upper respiratory tract, and once the feet are cold, it will cause the capillaries of the mucosa of the upper respiratory tract to constrict, the movement of cilia is weakened, and the body's resistance is reduced.
In addition to preventing respiratory tract infections, foot soaking can also dilate blood vessels, speed up blood flow, improve the nutrition of foot skin and tissues, reduce the occurrence of lower limb soreness, and relieve fatigue for a day.
Many friends are prone to cold hands and feet after cooling down, and if you start practicing "finger flicking" at this time, these conditions can be improved.
"Flick the fingers" is very simple, use the thumbs of both hands to clasp the middle finger and pop it out vigorously at noon every day, repeating it a hundred times.
The fingertips of the middle finger are the starting point of the pericardial meridian, and the pericardial meridian is the protective wall of the heart.

The large vertebral acupoint is the place where the six yang meridians of the human body and the Du pulse intersect, and massaging and rubbing the hot large vertebral acupoint can dispel the invading cold qi and smooth the qi and blood of the yang meridians.
Usually, when we look down, we can feel a bulging bone in the back of the neck, and under this bone is the large vertebral point
