How to deal with the "return of the south wind" that makes people in the south very upset?

The return of the south wind is a term that is very familiar to southerners, and it is also a pain in the hearts of southerners. It usually refers to the phenomenon that the temperature rises and the air humidity rises sharply in spring every year. The walls, floors and even beds are wet and even mold grows.

In spring, February and March, the temperature rises, the rainfall increases, and the humidity increases. Especially in Guangdong, the humid, hot, and gloomy weather always makes people feel uncomfortable, with body aches, fatigue, and greasy hair and face. For people who don't like to exercise or sit at a desk for a long time, the cervical spine and limb joints are more likely to become heavy and weak, and the whole body is uncomfortable.

It is very necessary to maintain your health during this season. Remember these 6 points and don’t cause trouble to your health.

1. Don’t rush to reduce your clothing, keep warm

The weather in spring is hot and cold, and it is easy to catch a cold if you are not careful. At present, the late spring cold weather has not ended in many places. Don't rush to take off your thick clothes, give your body some time to adapt.

2. Do a good job of moisture and humidity prevention

If you live or work in a humid environment, you must do a good job of moisture prevention. When the outdoor air humidity is high, be sure to close the doors and windows. If you have a dehumidifier at home, you can also turn it on.

3. Don’t be depressed, keep your emotions stable

During the period of the return of the south wind, the weather is hot and cold, dry and wet, which can easily affect people's mood swings. Especially for people who work indoors all year round, they are more likely to become lazy. In the face of such mood swings, we should increase the time of sun exposure. When it is rainy or there is no sunshine in the morning and evening, try to turn on the lighting devices in your home or office to make the house brighter and brighter. Doing activities in a well-lit environment will also make you feel more open-minded.

4. Do some outdoor exercise to avoid spring fatigue

You can choose some gentle exercises according to your physical condition, such as walking, jogging, Tai Chi, Ba Duan Jin, or go for an outing to scenic spots in the suburbs, but don't exercise too vigorously, avoid excessive sweating, and try to keep your skin clean and dry.

5. Don’t eat moldy food

During the period of the return of the south wind, molds are easy to breed, and food at this time is more likely to mold and spoil. If you accidentally eat these moldy foods, it will cause considerable harm to your body. In a hot and humid environment, nuts or grains such as peanuts and corn are prone to mold and produce aflatoxin. Aflatoxin is also a class of carcinogens recognized by the World Health Organization, so if you come across moldy and spoiled nuts, you must throw them away in time.

6. Pay attention to pollen allergens

In spring, pollen, catkins, and dust are flying in the air. If you have sensitive skin or constitution, you must be careful. It is best to take relevant isolation measures outdoors to prevent allergens from contacting the skin.
