Six typical winter problems

Winter, as always, comes suddenly and creates a lot of problems, not only utilities but also to us.

What kind of gifts for family on Christmas?

Where to go in Egypt, or in Thailand?

Who found Valentine's Day?

Do you think this is the most important issues approach winter?

It would not be so! Mortgage, there are things more important. No, nothing special ... Just winter weather can surprise a couple-three weeks to turn any woman in a guy that will no longer very clear to those who mother-in-law ...

How to avoid problems with winter beauty? Regardless of age and marital status is simple - they must be identified and resolved.

Problem 1: Dry skin (cold)

Physiology of the problem is simple: cold blood vessels narrowing, blood flow is worse, nutrients and oxygen skin receive a lower metabolism slows, and sebum virtually stops worked out. Result - dimness, dryness, skin roughness.

Solution: caring and protecting (clearance, easy peeling, cream)

- Contrary to popular belief, nothing dangerous in peeling and purification during the winter there. Specificity is in the way. In winter, mild peeling a non-aggressive acid composition (at home or in the cabin) is preferable to scrub with the abrasive particles and purify the skin better than soap and water and milk (dry and sensitive) or no alcohol tonic (fat and mixed).

- With food, too, everything is simple - cream caused at least 30 minutes before entering the street. This rule applies to any cream, which might say advertising «leading Visages» from the TV screen.

- Moisturizing cream in winter suitable only for an evening departure. However, if you do not want to go out during the day, apply it at any time. Above all, remember: when cold below-4C º use cream containing water, very bad. Winter time is better suited nourishing cream.

- Those that prefer to protect surely and make-up feels redundant, can store special creams for skiers - they are sold in many pharmacies and designed specifically for winter protection, including protection from UV radiation.

In recent years, appeared slightly Preparations (jelly, balms), leaving no oily film on the skin, but also provide a secure protective barrier against changes in temperature and cold wind. Besides their excellent make-up, is a lie? The composition of such funds, typically include vitamins B5 and E, retinol, aromatic oils and herbal extracts.

Allergy Cold

The existence of the Allergy Cold acknowledged relatively recently. Prone to severe frosts people in trouble breathing, they arose cough and sharp red leather. However, according to pulmonology, allergy ownership of frost is not as often. But as a man who knows the crux of the matter, I can say that the frost - it is just a small part of what causes suffering. Allergy manifested in contact with cool water, draft, the raw weather in the transition from a cold room into a warm, even if you're in the summer day after the burning sun to get up shop in the shade.

So, forget not only the ski walks, but also the warm sea. Without the pills you can not do and step.

There are several types of allergic reactions to cold.

The most simple and common - a cold allergy is not related to any other diseases.
It manifests itself in a few minutes after exposure to cold in an eruption in open areas of skin: on the face, hands, often on lips after drinking cold beverages. Rash tight, pink or whitish color, past endurance itch as hives after a few hours disappear without trace. Sometimes the rash accompanied by a feeling of burning, rather than itch and longer response body to the wind than the cold. There may be more severe cases, when, after vanishing rash remain bruises. In addition, there may appear headaches, decrease blood pressure.
When cold food allergies broken open the skin that can cause cold dermatitis - on the face, ear sink, hands appear claret-red itchy spots.

So cold, allergy manifests itself in several major options, look at them.

Urticaria - reddening skin with itch and blisters. Maybe and the cold air, and cold water. The combination of raw cold "- especially a nuisance. More often than not suffer a person, brush and foot, popliteal region and the inside of the thighs.

Saving in such cases - the warm, dry room with hot and dry clothes, hot drink and drugs Antihistamines. Of course, dress warmly - it is not a panacea, but still. Wool and synthetic fabrics increased the expression of allergies, clothing, which is directly adjacent to the skin, ideally, should be cotton or linen.

Cold - pseudoallergic rhinitis. It provokes cold air. Of course, it is possible to earth nose before exiting into the street, but the frequent use of drops affecting mucous membrane. So, still a point massage and a warm shelter.

Conjunctivitis - red eyes, tears and itch, is to enter into a warm room, the symptoms disappear. These are manifestations of pseudoallergic conjunctivitis. You will likely have to abandon the make-up and contact lenses, if you do not want to make this conjunctivitis. Wear tinted glasses and use a single hanky the package.

Migraine. Surely everyone to imagine ever felt that the impact of the cold: when it seems that the jaw froze, and now headache. This so-called, "ice-cream headache" - cold migraine. If you do not treat it seriously, you can earn neuralgia threefold nerve and it has not eliminated a simple warming. It is not safe, wear headgear on the season, is not fond of cold desserts and drinks.

Radiculitis comes from the roots of inflammation caused by degradation on a cold immune systems. To all this did not happen - make warmer, but certainly if get chilled - faster in warm bath, drink hot tea, massage reins heating ointment.

Trouble breathing may occur if the cold allergy provoked the so-called bronchospasmodic reflex that causes a sharp narrowing of the airways. Normally warm immediately passes. If the reaction to the cold delayed, it said hyperactivity bronchus, the predisposition to bronchial asthma. You should ask the pulmonologist or allergist. Outdoor Cover your mouth and nose scarf or mittens. Only breathe through the nose - mouth in no case!

So, in all cases, one council - make warmer. Before leaving impose on the face and hands of a thin layer of fat cream - it partially protects the skin from exposure to cold. You can also before leaving the house in cold weather drink warm tea.

At the moment, the treatment of allergy is a beautiful myth. What medications do not be promoted, they are not treated, but only relieve symptoms. Many of them, to be honest to the end, have side effects, foremost among which is addictive. In addition, they affect the liver, kidneys, nervous system and metabolism. So ten times think about what treatment to choose. Do not argue that, to date, medicine make a stap far ahead, but in the endless race of technology, people, ultimately, struggling with itself and with nature, part of which he is.

Do not rush to engage in self-advertise drink and drugs. Talk to your doctor. The cause allergies may be other diseases, such as kidney failure, chronic tonsillitis, disruption of the thyroid gland, etc. Very useful treatment herbs. Unlike drugs, their positive impact is not immediately and demands the regime and integrated applications. Do not forget that the use of herbs can be as harmful as helpful. Incorrect dosage and the proportions of turning them into poisons. Therefore, I will not give advice or recipes - find a specialist or buy ready-to phytopharmacy charges.

And the universal advice: temper! By quenched man cold allergy is not come with any party! And most likely, not only allergies.
Index - believe in yourself body truly capable of independently dealing with the problem, you just need to him a little help.

Stay healthy!

Symptoms of allergies

The term «allergy» first appeared in the scientific daily use in 1906. It was introduced by Austrian pediatrician K. Pirke. The word «allergy» formed from two Greek words: allos - "other" and ergon - "Action".

Encyclopedic Dictionary defines as an increase in allergies or twisted body's sensitivity to an allergen or - substances which cause allergies. In the simpler immune system and the body responsible violent reaction and exaggerated protection for substances that are themselves quite harmless.

To date, allergy is a global health problem, it suffers more than 20% of the world's population. Every decade, the prevalence of allergic diseases doubles.

The nature of allergy in many ways remains a mystery. Allergies may arise suddenly and unexpectedly in the same way. One of the main "culprits" of allergy - histamine. There are others - serotonin, acetylcholine, heparin. Run into the blood in large numbers when any allergen (pollen, dust, hair, etc.) provokes the immune response, these substances are expanding vessels, the allocation of fluid from small vessels, reddening skin. Hence - irritated mucous membranes nose, runny nose and sneezing.

Predisposition to any type of allergy is liable to be inherited. For example, if a parent is suffering from allergies, the child might develop allergies, but not necessarily the same type.

There are many substances that cause allergies: dust, washing powder, medicines, animal hair, pollen plants, paints, cosmetics, sunlight, food, insects, etc. Most important, both for prevention as well to treat allergies - to identify its cause, the allergen, which causes all the unpleasant consequences. But this is not so easy, it is difficult to find and even harder to get rid of its impact.

If you are allergic to, say, at poplar seed tufts - you are lucky. Of course, you can argue with me. You say that a runny nose, swelling nose and headaches - it is awful, and in doing so, I agree with you. But this state lasted only a month until flowering poplar.

Imagine that feels people are allergic to cold.
You are such, may not even be heard.

Allergies and sinusitis

Allergies and sinusitis

Allergies are not just delivering you the inconvenience, in the absence of proper treatment it can lead to the development of other diseases, such as sinusitis.

Sinusitis is usually caused by viral, bacterial and fungal infections.

If allergies often nasal swelling mucous and phlegm can not freely go through the course of the bow. She enters the sinuses (sinus is air cavities located inside the head, around the nose), which creates a favorable environment for the growth of bacteria that leads to sinusitis.

The symptoms of sinusitis may include:

* Headache. You may be feeling like a sore face

* Yellow or green allocation from the nose

* Stuffy nose

Allergy or Flu?

How to differ normal flu from allergies?

Do you have a flu, which never takes place? Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish flu from allergies because the symptoms are very similar. If you have a flu occurs at the same time of the year and lasts several weeks or months, it is possible that an allergic reaction to something. To know this for sure, you should consult a physician.

Compare the symptoms of flues and allergic symptoms:

Allergic symptoms: Sneezing, Stuffy nose, Sneezing, Itch in eye, Rhinitis, Apportionment from nose, Sick, Duration of symptoms is permanently or in some seasons of the ear.

Allergy Causes

There are many different types of allergic reactions - depending on the extent to which bodies they arise. But all have the same clinical manifestations of nature - hypersensitivity to allergens.

When symptoms arise in the nasal cavity and lungs, we are talking about respiratory allergies, skin - the skin, in the eyes - the eye allergies.

Another way of classifying allergies is depending on the cause of allergic reaction. In fact, the numbers of substances - potential allergens are very high. There are allergic to insect bite, food and medicine, house dust mites, etc.

Heredity in Allergy

Become allergies can anyone and at any age. However, the risk increases if other members of your family also suffer from allergies. Patients with allergies, whose kindred as the same allergic, had known as atopic patients.

If none, of your relatives do not have allergy, the risk of developing allergies to anything you have is only 5 to 15%. However, if both your parents suffer from allergies, the likelihood of allergies you have increased to 40-60% or even 80% if they have the same type of allergic reaction.

What is allergy?

The term "allergy" is used to unnecessarily strong reaction in the body any substance coming from outside. Our body has a "system of protection against external aggression factor, which is called the immune system. Alien body substances, called antigens, are found inside, to provoke reaction of immune system that is beginning to produce antibodies to neutralize the antigen. This reaction is absolutely necessary, when the organism, for example, gets the virus. When allergy is the immune system begins to seriously respond to innocuous to the average person substances known as allergens.

This overreaction, or hypersensitivity cause chain reactions in internal organs and tissues of the body, in which inflammation occurs, but because of certain cells (called "mast cells") provided the substance - histamine, in turn causing clinical manifestations of allergy. These expressions may be different for different people, sometimes seen as a different disease.

Thus, patients with allergies - a person biologically sensitive to allergens, with some symptoms that arise from time to time, or existing permanent.

Why is allergy appearing?

Allergy is certainly not uncommon. From its various forms suffers from a third man, and in the past 20 years, the number of allergies is growing especially rapidly.

The increase of allergic diseases, around the world, is explained by factors external environment, and change behaviors and habits. This explains why the frequency of allergy varies in different countries and even in different cities.
