Chronic bronchitis is generally caused by infection, long-term smoking and other factors. Generally speaking, the elderly, smokers, people with chronic diseases and low immunity (such as coronary heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, tuberculosis, Tumors, etc.) are more prone to occur in the spring.

　　Chronic bronchitis belongs to the category of "cough" and "phlegm-drinking" in the clinical practice of traditional Chinese medicine. Motherland Medicine believes that the lungs dominate the qi, breathe, and coat the outer skin. If the evil guest is in the lungs, the lung qi is closed, and the cough occurs. Chronic bronchitis is mostly caused by the elderly. In the old people''s words, chronic bronchitis is an "old disease" that is accumulated after a cold and cough when you are not paying attention when you are young or when the economic conditions are not good. In addition, the respiratory tract of minors is very fragile, and the cold and fever will not be cured for a long time, and it can also cause acute tracheitis. A cold can weaken the ciliary movement of bronchial mucosal epithelial cells, weakening the defense ability of bronchitis.

　　 Diet should be light, and exercise should not be too early

　　Prevention of chronic bronchitis should start from the details of daily diet and daily life. Diet should be light, eat less spicy meaty food, eat more vegetables and fruits rich in vitamin C. Quit smoking and drink more tea. Smoking will cause increased secretions in the respiratory tract, causing reflex bronchospasm and difficulty in sputum production. It is easy to breed viruses and bacteria and make bronchitis worse. The tea contains theophylline, which can excite the sympathetic nerves, expand the bronchi and reduce the symptoms of cough and asthma.

　　In the spring, we must strengthen the exercise, such as jogging, walking, Tai Chi, and other fitness activities, to enhance physical fitness, improve cold resistance and body resistance, enhance self-immunity, and prevent colds. Especially for the elderly, it is not advisable to get up early in the spring, because the climate is colder in the spring, the yang of the world is hidden, and the human body is also the best time to rejuvenate. In daily life, you should go to bed early and get up late. Moreover, the cold weather in the morning can easily induce respiratory tract, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, or cause the original disease to recur.

　　healthy diet to nourish the lungs and kidneys

　　Chinese medicine believes that chronic diseases such as chronic bronchitis are marked in the lungs and based on the kidneys. In other words, it seems that cough is a lung disease, but the essence is kidney deficiency. The lungs are calling, the kidneys are sucking, the lungs are provoking, and the kidneys are breathing. When the condition is sudden, Xuanfei Qingre, asthma, phlegm is the treatment, and when the condition is relieved, the kidney, qi, essence, and qi are treated. The most important thing to prevent chronic bronchitis is diet therapy. Diet therapy has high nutritional value, can enhance the body''s ability to resist disease, and has a good effect on improving symptoms and promoting recovery.
