How can online ride-hailing drivers who are trapped for a long time protect their health?

  reading prompt

  Sitting for more than 10 hours a day, not being able to eat on time, not being able to use the toilet at any time, and driving with high brain tension, online ride-hailing drivers face a variety of occupational health risks. Due to the "cooperative relationship" with the platform, online ride-hailing drivers cannot obtain corresponding medical insurance on the platform.

  "The mileage of the dashboard of the car is hundreds of kilometers every day, and the number of steps we walk is less than 1,000. It seems that we don’t have to work in the car every day, but in fact, after more than 10 hours a day, we are more tired than people who do other jobs," said the ride-hailing driver Xiang Feibian as he drove.

  In 2015, Xiang Fei came to Beijing from Qinghai to become an online car-hailing driver. In order to increase the number of orders, he, like many online car-hailing drivers, goes out early and returns late every day, and works more than 10 hours. Online car-hailing is convenient for people to travel, but sitting for a long time every day, not being able to eat on time and using the toilet at any time bring many health risks to online car-hailing drivers.

  Chen Baosheng, chief physician of the physical examination department of Peking University Shougang Hospital, said that online taxi drivers are sedentary in the cab for a long time, often put into work immediately after meals, and the brain is in a high state of tension when driving. It is easy to gain weight, blood pressure, blood lipids, etc. will rise, and metabolic diseases such as diabetes will also be caused by metabolic dysfunction. In addition, if you maintain a posture for a long time, the spine is not evenly stressed, and the driver is also prone to ligament and muscle damage.

  Working overtime makes the health of online car-hailing drivers worry

  At 10:30 p.m. on April 19, Qi Caijuan, who had finished her mission, returned to the downstairs of the community. She slowly opened the door, gently poked her legs out of the car, and walked out of the cab hunched over. "It’s an old problem," Qi Caijuan said. Every night when she finished work, her waist would not straighten up, and it would take a few minutes to walk normally.

  Qi Caijuan is an online ride-hailing driver in Chengde, Hebei. At the age of 20 years, she has a hair problem. In addition to the pain in the waist, shoulders and neck caused by long-term sitting, Qi Caijuan also suffers from stomach problems due to the lack of argument for eating.

  Although he has only been driving online for a few years, Xiang Fei has already suffered from a serious lumbar intervertebral disc herniation. He said that he had heard people say that online car-hailing drivers make a lot of money before, but after he started working, he knew that there was a lot of water on his account, but after deducting the oil money and car damage, he really didn’t get much. In the past two years, the number of online car-hailing drivers has increased, and the industry competition has intensified. In order to make more money, he drives almost 12 hours a day.

  Xiang Fei used to put a headrest in the driver’s seat to keep the head and waist relatively comfortable, but in the past two years, the platform has required drivers to have a unified image, and they are not allowed to put personal items in the car. He can only remove these items. Xiang Fei said that because of the difficulty of parking, he rarely goes to the toilet, and many drivers also suffer from prostatitis.

  According to a study conducted by Tsinghua University in 2021, the average daily working time of online car-hailing drivers in first-tier cities is 11.05 hours, and the average weekly travel time is 6.45 days. More than 80% of online car-hailing drivers spend more than 8 hours a day.

  "If you have a new order, please take it in time." Wu Jiahong, the online taxi driver, took advantage of the absence of passengers and was ready to take a nap in the car. Before taking 10 minutes, the order notification sounded on her mobile phone. Wu Jiahong leaves the car on time at 7 o’clock every day, and sometimes it is already 12 o’clock in the evening when she returns home. On this day, she wanted to complete the task as soon as possible, so she did not turn off the order receiving system during the rest, but just started the car, a burst of cervical spine pain accompanied by a burst of dizziness suddenly hit, and she had to cancel the task and go home to rest.

  Go to the hospital once and lose half a day’s income

  Online car-hailing drivers belong to flexible employment. They have not signed an employment contract with the platform and have no social security. It has always been a dilemma for online car-hailing drivers to be solved. All along, Qi Caijuan has paid social insurance by herself as a flexible employer.

  Although she often feels unwell, Qi Caijuan rarely goes to the hospital in order to take more orders. "It takes half a day to go once, and in addition to the money it costs to see a doctor, half a day of income is also gone." She said that when her stomach is uncomfortable, she goes to the community hospital to prescribe some stomach medicine and put it in the car for backup. When her shoulder and neck are really uncomfortable, she will go to the massage shop to press it, on average once every two months.

  After resting at home for half a day, Wu Jiahong still felt stuffy in her chest, so she came to a hospital the next day in desperation. "I spent nearly 300 yuan in the morning, which is almost half of my water for half a day." Wu Jiahong told reporters that if she used medical insurance to settle, she would only need to pay half the money, but because the platform did not pay for her medical insurance, she did not renew her medical insurance after it expired, and could only pay in full.

  On November 30 last year, the Ministry of Transport and other eight departments issued the "Opinions on Strengthening the Protection of the Rights and Interests of Employees in the New Business of Transportation", which proposed to encourage online car-hailing platform enterprises to actively participate in the pilot of occupational injury protection, and to urge online car-hailing platform enterprises to participate in social insurance for drivers who meet the conditions of labor relations in accordance with the law, and to guide and support drivers who do not fully meet the conditions of establishing labor relations to participate in corresponding social insurance.

  Wu Jiahong told reporters that in order to increase her income, she often takes orders on multiple online ride-hailing platforms, but none of these platforms have signed employment contracts with them, which are only "cooperative relationships." She said that if there are platforms that can pay for social security and medical insurance, she is willing to run orders on one platform full-time.

  "I hope the platform can provide free regular medical checkups"

  After seven years of online car-hailing in Beijing, Xiang Fei recently participated in the free driver medical examination organized by the trade union system through the platform for the first time.

  Xiang Fei is very satisfied with the inspection. He told reporters that the physical examination includes not only blood routine, liver and kidney function, full abdominal color ultrasound and other routine inspections, but also a special project for the driver’s prostate examination.

  After the checkup, the hospital also held lectures on disease prevention, first aid and other aspects of occupational diseases for online ride-hailing drivers, and organized free clinics for online ride-hailing drivers. "I think it’s very useful, I learned a lot of knowledge, and I feel much more comfortable after shoulder and neck massage," Xiang Fei said, but he did not know when the next checkup would be.

  As she gets older, Qi Caijuan has become more and more concerned about her physical condition. Since the platform has not yet provided free medical checkups to drivers, she has taken the initiative to check twice. "I hope the platform can provide free regular medical checkups, so that I can feel more at ease when working," Qi Caijuan said.

  Chen Baosheng said that considering the professional characteristics of drivers, they should conduct more in-depth and comprehensive inspections of key parts such as the spine every three years or so in addition to the regular physical examination every year. Drivers themselves should also pay attention to their physical health and get out of the car as much as possible to do some stretching exercises.

  The recent notice issued by Guangdong Province on further improving the work related to flexible employment personnel participating in basic medical insurance for employees pointed out that, including relying on new business platforms such as e-commerce, online car-hailing, online food delivery, and express logistics to achieve employment, and employees who have not established labor relations with new business platform enterprises can participate in basic medical insurance for employees at the place of employment in Guangdong Province without household registration restrictions. This measure will increase health protection for new employment forms such as online car-hailing drivers.

The mayor of Zhangjiajie’s "entertainment" caused controversy. Netizens said that he was the most handsome in history.

    Endorsement of Zhangjiajie International Country Music Festival with Cartoon Image



    Data Map: Zhao Xiaoming, Deputy Secretary of Zhangjiajie Municipal Committee and Mayor.


    "Writers are entertaining, scholars are entertaining, and now even the mayor is entertaining." Yesterday (6th), a video of Zhao Xiaoming, the mayor of Zhangjiajie, showing people with exaggerated cartoon image spread on the Internet, which caused a thousand waves, causing widespread controversy among netizens at home and abroad.


  "Cartoon mayor" triggered online controversy


    The opening of "2009 Zhangjiajie International Country Music Festival in China" is just around the corner, and Mayor Zhao Xiaoming can be described as a pioneer. As the "image ambassador" of this music festival, Zhao Xiaoming did not hesitate to "vilify himself" and showed people with the cartoon image of "grinning" in the image propaganda film of the music festival. The mayor personally endorsed a large-scale music festival and "sacrificed his life to get an electric shock" to appear on the screen with his exaggerated cartoon image, which may be the first time in China.


  Netizens called him "the most handsome mayor in history"


    Mayor Zhao’s "self-destructive image" and "giving his life to get an electric shock" caused a strong controversy on the Internet. A netizen in Hainan commented that "what does this make the mayor’s authority and dignity?" This netizen’s statement was immediately refuted by other netizens. Most netizens believe that the mayor is a "public servant" and does not have to be "high above" to reflect the authority of officials. Mayor Zhao’s act of being close to the people makes people feel very cordial; A netizen in Shandong said that "the creativity is very good, but the painting is too rough", which means that the exaggerated cartoon image of Mayor Zhao is "not flattering", while a netizen in Guangxi said that "the sexiest organ of a man is his mind, so he should be given a’ most handsome mayor in history’!"


  With some comments from netizens:


    Beijing netizen: like one! Such a move can increase the intimacy of officials!


    Jiangsu netizen: I hope all officials can be closer to the people in reality!


    Shanghai netizen: What’s the fuss? Foreign presidents personally design their own cartoon images!


    Shandong netizen: Creativity is good, but can’t it be painted better? ? This is not difficult, is it? ?


    Guangdong netizen: mayors all over the country should learn from this man. Don’t put on an official airs all day!


    Hunan netizen: Zhangjiajie has made great progress in urban construction and city appearance in the past two years. As a native of Zhangjiajie, I sincerely thank Mayor Zhao.


    American netizen: This is a kind of progress and closeness to the people. Officials in China often look arrogant. Do more similar things, which is beneficial!


    Shanxi netizen: very good, emancipate the mind and set an example of innovation! More approachable image.


    Fujian netizen: It is more important than cartoons to manage Zhangjiajie’s tourism environment better!


    Zhejiang netizen: it’s quite good, but it’s a little rough!


    Netizen in Chongqing: I hope more officials can be as popular as Mayor Zhao.


    Korean netizen: Look at those objections, and China’s official standard thought can be seen.


    Sichuan netizen: Hunan is the central region, but the dancer on the right in this picture is dressed like a western ethnic girl, not a local Miao and Tujia costume, which is a failure.


    Netizen in Liaoning: Very good, approachable and innovative. Most people should like it.


    Macau netizen: Controversy is also beneficial, at least raising the popularity of the music festival.


    Netizen in Xinjiang: The mayor is so handsome. I like him, and the music is very nice, which gives people a shocking feeling.


    Shaanxi netizen: My wife clamored to go to Zhangjiajie several years ago, but she never made it. This time, you can see that tickets for many performances have not increased in price, so let’s go together on annual leave!


    Jiangxi Netizen: Since it is the China International Country Music Festival, why should we use American country music songs? Why not use China folk music? Are you holding a music festival in China or an American country music festival in China? How dare you say that? While all over the world are building up the confidence of local culture, the mayor of China still uses American music as a propaganda sign of China folk music. Is this a manifestation of its contemporary "national inferiority complex"? Why do music festivals in China promote American music?


    Hunan netizen: this is the perfect combination of advanced management concept and Zhangjiajie’s original natural scenery. I believe that music energy saving can be as successful as promotional film, and we look forward to it!


    Netizen in Hebei: Hunan people just dare to think, dare to be the first, and live up to the eternal famous couplet at the entrance of Yuelu Academy.


    Guangxi netizen: I don’t think the cartoon image of Mayor Zhao is ugly at all. On the contrary, I can give him a "most handsome mayor in history" or something. The most handsome, coolest and sexiest organ of a man is not eyebrows, eyes, nose, face, muscles, but-thoughts! (Reporter Wang Xiaoyang)

From national fitness to national healthy sports to make people’s lives better.

  Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, March 10th  Title: From national fitness to national healthy sports to make people’s lives better.

  Xinhua News Agency reporter Ding Wenxian and Su Bin

  In the past winter, the ice and snow sports are surging. From the Beijing Olympic Games to awaken the awareness of national fitness, to the Beijing Winter Olympics to drive 300 million people to participate in ice and snow sports, the forms of national fitness have become more diverse and the connotation has been continuously enriched. It carries people’s yearning for a better life and the pursuit of a healthy body, and provides a strong boost for building a sports power and a healthy China.

  According to Yang Yang, member of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and vice chairman of the World Anti-Doping Agency, sports play different roles in different stages of development in China. "After the Beijing Olympic Games, China proposed to move from a sports power to a sports power, and national fitness received more attention. Sports began to be an important indicator and an important tool for healthy China. Now that China has hosted two Olympic Games (Summer Olympics and Winter Olympics) and a Youth Olympic Games, sports has gradually become a way of life for people. "

  From road running and square dancing to skiing, surfing and frisbee, sports have become more and more people’s habits and even social ways. Xie Minhao, a member of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and a researcher at the Institute of Sports Medicine of the State Sports General Administration, believes that for individuals, fitness is mainly about two things: active exercise and safe exercise. In addition, it is best to cultivate personal hobbies around some projects.

  On September 29, 2022, Wen Feifu (former), an employee of Beijing enterprise, competed in the Frisbee competition. Xinhua News Agency reporter Ren Chaoshe

  To promote national health through national fitness, we must establish the concept of scientific fitness. In this regard, Xie Minhao suggested: "Sports should not only think about benefits, but also think about risks. When an exerciser wants to do a sport, it is suggested to know the common sense in this respect first; When engaging in some projects that are physically challenging, such as running a marathon, it is best to do a sports risk assessment first and have an understanding of your own strength. " On the social level, he believes that it is necessary to further guide the people to actively exercise and strengthen the integration of sports and health, and the relevant departments continue to create conditions for the people to exercise.

  Efforts to meet people’s fitness needs are also the view of Bao Mingxiao, member of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and president of China Sports Policy Research Institute of Beijing Sport University. "In the past, athletes in the arena were very happy to win a few gold medals. Now people not only want to win gold medals, but also depend on whether there is a venue in life when I want to exercise, whether there are sports organizations around me that can be easily joined, and whether there are sports activities for ordinary people … … In recent years, the epidemic situation has made people’s sports awareness and demand rapidly improve, giving us ‘ People-centered ’ The practice has found more entrances, and we have better opportunities to carry out new practices of life sports than ever before. "

  Bao Mingxiao said that the "people-centered" concept of sports development is not a slogan, but it has a broad space for action. Integrating sports into the pursuit of a better life by more than 1.4 billion people is an important embodiment of "people-centered". It is one of the most basic functions of sports to let sports promote people’s all-round development. "Especially in promoting the all-round development of teenagers, sports can play an important basic role."

  It has become the consensus of many schools and parents to follow the concept of "health first" and help students enjoy fun, strengthen their physique, improve their personality and temper their will in physical exercise.

  Many delegates and members attending the National People’s Congress this year will focus on campus sports. Zhang Yufei, deputy to the National People’s Congress and Olympic champion in swimming, suggested that a special course of "Champion physical education class" should be formulated, and excellent athletes from national teams of each project should be integrated to make teaching videos, which should be distributed to primary and secondary schools nationwide. Tao Luna, member of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and director of Shanghai Shooting and Archery Sports Center, proposed to use artificial intelligence equipment to popularize shooting on campus. Yang Yang appealed that the physical education entrance examination should not be "biased", but should break the "exam-oriented" thinking and widely carry out campus events … …

  Li Yanhu, member of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and director of the Sports Health Medicine Research Center of the Sports Medicine Research Institute of the State Sports General Administration, said that the health status of teenagers is not only related to personal growth and family happiness, but also related to the future of the country and national hope.

  He introduced that the Institute of Sports Medicine has been conducting research on adolescent spine health since 2011, and the survey data shows that the proportion of spine abnormalities among primary and secondary school students in China is large. In 2019, the Youth Division of the State Sports General Administration cooperated with the Institute of Sports Medicine, and organized a team of experts to carry out experiments in Shanghai, and carried out sports interventions such as 90-second stretching exercises, bedtime exercises and cervical health exercises for the students in the experimental group. After one month, the unqualified rate of students’ vision and the abnormal rate of scoliosis decreased obviously. Accordingly, Li Yanhu suggested in the proposal this year that attention should be paid to the spine health of teenagers.

  Report to the 20th CPC National Congress, the Communist Party of China, stressed that the national fitness activities should be widely carried out, the youth sports work should be strengthened, the all-round development of mass sports and competitive sports should be promoted, and the construction of a sports power should be accelerated. Last March, the Opinions on Building a Higher Level Public Service System for National Fitness was released. In recent years, all kinds of national fitness activities at all levels have been widely carried out, which has effectively enhanced people’s sense of acquisition, happiness and security.

  As Bao Mingxiao said: "Developing national fitness can promote the development of sports industry and consolidate the foundation of a sports power, and the foundation of winning glory for the country in the future will be more solid."

Self-service physical examination and card renewal 24-hour traffic management self-service hall opens the door to accept guests.

"If you play, you can get down to business. Just like taking a photo, the whole process can’t be used for even 10 minutes!" On November 1st, the first day of the official opening of the 24-hour traffic control self-service hall of Nanma Road Brigade of Nankai detachment of traffic police, Ms. Li, a citizen, experienced the most after finishing her business, not only its convenience but also its comfort. "It is inevitable to be nervous when going to the hospital for a medical examination, but it is completely different like playing a game on the self-service machine." Ms. Li, who received the new certificate in one stop, was happy from ear to ear. In the morning, more than 50 citizens received new driver’s licenses.
Gulou area is not only a prosperous commercial area but also a large residential area. As the nearest grass-roots unit of public security traffic control, Nanma Road Brigade of Nankai detachment of traffic police created a new sample of "Fengqiao Experience" in the new era, and launched the first 24-hour traffic control self-service hall in the city, which completely solved the annoyance that office workers need to take time off to do business, and they can handle the required business by the way no matter how late they get off work or go shopping on weekends.
There are 8 ATM machines with different functions in the 24-hour traffic management self-service hall, which are open to the public 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Citizens only need to bring their ID cards to "clear customs" the whole process. On November 1st, when it was officially put into use, there were already many people who came here. They didn’t affect each other and handled related business on the required "ATM machines". Two physical examination machines, a camera and an acceptance and certification machine together form a miniature "unmanned vehicle management office". Don’t look at it, but in fact, the supervision is very strict, and cheating can’t hide from its "eyes". The physical examination machine is connected with Nankai Hospital online for 24 hours, and the whole process of the driver’s physical examination is transmitted to the hospital in real time through the network, which is reviewed by the doctor. If the driver leans forward to the screen because he can’t see clearly during the vision test, even such a small movement can’t hide from the "eyes" of the system. After detecting the displacement, it will reduce the character size of the eye chart proportionally. For example, when detecting lower limbs, the pedal on the ground will automatically sense whether there is uneven force on the driver’s legs.
"Originally, I made an appointment to go to the hospital for a physical examination tomorrow. I heard that I can do it here. I thought it was not far from home anyway. I tried it. As a result, a set of procedures took less than 10 minutes. The most important thing is that I don’t have to ask for leave tomorrow. This system is really good. When I go back, I will recommend my relatives and friends who want to change their cards to come here. " Ms. Wang said while showing her freshly baked driver’s license.
The door of the physical examination machine is dark, which can protect privacy very well. After entering the physical examination machine, you only need to put your ID card in the verification area and gradually complete a series of tests such as vision, hearing, color discrimination and limbs according to the system prompts, so you can get the automatic driver physical examination report on the spot. According to statistics, on the morning of November 1, more than 50 citizens had self-help medical examinations here and got new driver’s licenses.
In the 24-hour traffic control self-service hall, the other four machines, namely, a comprehensive traffic management service machine, a rapid traffic accident handling service machine and two traffic violation self-service processors, can pay fines, change inspection marks and handle accidents by themselves and quickly.
Seeing at the scene, many citizens who came to experience were attracted by the traffic accident rapid handling service machine. "In the case of a minor car accident in the management circle of our brigade, under the clear responsibility, the parties don’t have to spend time waiting for the police to handle the accident. It is quick and simple to use this machine to scan the code to enter information, upload accident photos and print the summary procedure confirmation of road traffic accidents." The traffic police patiently explained to the public while demonstrating.
Address of 24-hour traffic control self-service hall
No.899 Chengxiang Middle Road, Nankai District
(Next to Nanma Road Brigade of Nankai Traffic Police Detachment)
The 24-hour self-service hall is a pragmatic new measure for our city to comprehensively deepen the "streamline administration, delegate power, strengthen regulation and improve services" reform of public security traffic management and get through the "last mile" of serving the masses, further meet the needs of the masses to "do it right away, do it independently, do it nearby and do it at once", and send convenience to the doorsteps of the masses and warmth to their hearts.

Do you feel that the air conditioner blows "fake 26℃" in winter? Not an illusion!

The first cold, freezing rain and snow weather in 2024

People in Guangxi are shivering with cold.

As soon as many friends get home,

I took it out.

The same "standard movements" as in summer:

Turn on the air conditioner, set it to 26℃ and start heating.

but

Blow for a while

I always feel that something is wrong …

The air conditioner is turned on to 26℃ in summer.

You can stay indoors.

Wear short-sleeved shorts and have fun

Why is it open to 26℃ in winter?

anyway/no matter what/ in any case

You have to wear long-sleeved trousers.

It doesn’t feel too warm, does it

in fact

Many people will have it in their hearts

Questions like this:

26℃ of air conditioner in summer

It feels like that.

In winter,

The total feeling is "false 26℃"

I can’t help but doubt my life.

Don’t blow a lonely?

Dig into the reason

It’s a little complicated

Take you to reveal the secret

There is nothing wrong with your body feeling.

The temperature of 26℃ in air-conditioned rooms in winter is just different.

First of all, expose a truth that many people don’t know:

Setting the air conditioner to 26℃ does not mean that the wind blown by the machine is 26℃, but that we want the indoor temperature to become 26℃.

Therefore, the summer temperature is 35℃, and we set the air conditioner at home to 26℃. In order to lower the room temperature to this temperature, the air conditioner will blow cold air; When the temperature is 0℃ in winter, we set the air conditioner at home to 26℃. In order to raise the room temperature to this temperature, the air conditioner will blow hot air.

The above is easy to understand, but then another key knowledge point comes: cold air has a large proportion, love to run down, warm air has a small proportion, and love to flee up.

We often install the air conditioner on the wall two or three meters above the ground, and the components that sense the ambient temperature in the air conditioner are also located in the high place of the room, that is, the place where warm air gathers.

So, when everyone sets the air conditioner to 26℃ in winter, the people who stay under the air conditioner haven’t warmed up yet, but the air conditioner in the high place has "felt" that the indoor temperature is 26℃, which is warm enough and the task is completed.

In addition, the temperature of the wall is quite different in winter and summer.

Let’s assume that the indoor temperature is the same in winter and summer, and the temperature distribution in the room is even, but you will still be significantly colder in winter. Why? Because the wall is cold, it is also conducting heat.

Heat will flow from high-temperature objects to low-temperature objects, so in winter, the walls of air-conditioned rooms will continuously conduct and transport warm heat to the cold outdoor. So if you want to really feel the indoor warmth of 26℃, wait for the wall to heat up slowly.

Wet air cooling

It will also weaken the "power" of air conditioning heating.

In addition, specifically to the southern region, another reason why air conditioning is not so warm in winter is wet and cold. Because of the cold water hidden in the air, it absorbs the heat from your skin all the time. When they are dried and evaporated by your body temperature, they will take away some heat.

Wet cold is everywhere, between clothes and skin, between socks and feet. As long as there is air, this wet cold will accompany you. Therefore, in winter, we might as well try the "dehumidification" mode of air conditioning first. When you feel the air is drier, is it warmer?

Dry mouth and nosebleed

"Winter air conditioning disease" can not be ignored either.

However, solving the wet and cold, another problem that comes with it may be air-conditioning disease in winter.

Everyone is familiar with air-conditioning diseases in summer, and there are also air-conditioning diseases in winter, which can not be ignored. People who stay in air-conditioned rooms for a long time in winter may have symptoms such as dry mouth, dizziness, sore throat, cough, irritability, tight skin, etc. Many people wake up in the morning and feel thirsty and even have nasal bleeding.

In addition, in rooms where floor heating and heating are used, people are also prone to "heating sickness", and the symptoms are similar to air conditioning sickness. The reason is nothing more than two factors: too high temperature and too low humidity.

First of all, under normal circumstances, the human body will evaporate about 1000 ml of water every day, including 600~700 ml through the skin and 300~400 ml through the respiratory tract. After heating, the room is dry, and the human body loses more water. In such an environment for a long time, many systems of the body will be unsuitable.

In addition, if the heating temperature at home is too high and the air continues to be dry, it will cause the secretion of respiratory mucosa to decrease. In addition, in order to keep warm, the window ventilation will be reduced, and dust and bacteria at home will attach to the mucosa, which will easily lead to diseases such as upper respiratory tract infection and bronchial asthma.

Dry air in the air-conditioned room will aggravate the evaporation of tears, cause insufficient wetting of the angle and conjunctiva, and cause dry eyes and visual fatigue. In addition, when people stare at mobile phones, computers and other electronic screens, they will unconsciously reduce the number of blinks, and the secretion of tears is insufficient, which will easily induce dry eye syndrome over time. Exposure to air-conditioned environment will accelerate the loss of water in the skin, leading to symptoms such as dryness, tightness, peeling, roughness and itching.

Patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases should pay special attention to it. When the indoor temperature is high, patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases go out to contact cold air, which will easily lead to vasoconstriction and spasm, and blood pressure will suddenly change. When the organism is short of water, it will easily lead to the increase of blood viscosity, which may lead to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Correct prevention of "air conditioning disease" and "heating disease" in winter can start from the following points:

1. When using air conditioner, adjust the direction of air outlet.

In winter, when the air conditioner is heating, the temperature is too high, the temperature rises too fast, and it is blowing directly on the human body, which will cause some problems. Therefore, the air conditioner should be adjusted to medium wind and the tuyere should be adjusted to blow down.

2. Air conditioning temperature should not be too high, pay attention to regular ventilation.

If the indoor temperature is too high, it will easily lead to cough and chapped lips. It is necessary to control the indoor temperature and humidity and keep the air circulating. The room temperature is preferably between 18℃ and 22℃, and it is guaranteed to open the window twice a day for at least half an hour each time.

3. Keep indoor air humidity.

To prevent the room from being too dry, it is recommended to keep the humidity at 50%~60%, and a humidifier can be placed in the room to increase the air humidity. At the same time, you can also put pots of water in the house, or put some aquatic plants to adjust the indoor humidity. Note that the humidifier can’t always be on.

4. Pay attention to replenish water in time.

Being in an air-conditioned room for a long time will make your skin dry and rough, so you should pay attention to hydrating, drink 1500~2000 ml of water every day, or eat more fresh fruits and vegetables.
