According to Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Tien Dung, who was formerly the Head of Pediatrics at Bach Mai Hospital, cold weather can cause many health issues, especially for the elderly and young children, leading to hospitalization for respiratory, cardiovascular, and particularly pneumonia-related diseases. Even healthy adults should pay attention and not be complacent.
Keeping the body warm and protecting the head and face is important not only for the elderly and young children but also for everyone, regardless of gender or age. Limiting outdoor activities, especially in the early morning and late evening, is a useful measure.
In addition, diet also plays an important role in protecting respiratory health. Ensuring an adequate supply of nutrients and preferring lung-friendly foods helps boost immunity and reduce the risk of respiratory diseases.
During the cold weather, drinking enough warm water can be an effective way to keep the lungs warm and support respiratory health.
Warm filtered water
Even in cold weather, maintaining water balance in the body is extremely important for maintaining health. Although you may not feel the need to drink water, providing enough daily water is still important, especially drinking warm filtered water. This helps maintain warmth for the lungs and throat while supporting immune system strengthening on cold and harmful weather days.
According to Healthline, drinking warm filtered water helps reduce the energy needed to maintain body temperature stability, reduces shivering sensations in cold weather, enhances blood flow to maintain stable blood pressure, and reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Warm water also has the effect of warming the throat and lungs, thereby supporting respiratory health and reducing the risk of respiratory diseases.
Ginger water
According to MSc. Dr. Hoang Khanh Toan, an Eastern medicine expert and former Head of Eastern Medicine Department at Military Central Hospital 108, ginger has a warm nature and is widely used in Eastern medicine to treat many diseases. It not only stimulates blood circulation and warms the body but also protects the throat and maintains lung health.
To enhance the effectiveness and add flavor, you can mix warm ginger water with a little honey. Honey not only has antibacterial properties but also contains many antioxidants and anti-inflammatory substances, helping the lungs resist the effects of pollutants. Drinking ginger honey water before bedtime also helps reduce coughing, improve sleep quality, and is a good measure to protect the lungs on cold days.
Turmeric milk
Turmeric, with its anti-inflammatory properties and curcumin, plays an important role in enhancing the immune system and maintaining warmth for the body. Especially, thanks to its strong anti-inflammatory ability, turmeric can detoxify the lungs, creating an ideal condition for lung health.
Meanwhile, milk is a source of vital vitamins and minerals, a nutrient-rich drink that helps supplement the body. Combining turmeric with milk gives you a nutritious drink that supports lung warming and maintains lung health, especially on cold days.
Bone broth
The bone broth-making process takes a long time to produce an excellent product. Bone broth not only provides essential vitamins and minerals that help enhance immunity but also provides strong energy, helping keep the body warm. This helps protect the lungs and throat, keeping them warm, especially in cold weather conditions.
What’s also important is that bone broth contains abundant collagen. Supplementing bone broth not only ensures warmth for the lungs and helps keep them healthy but also prevents aging, eliminates wrinkles on the skin, and brings about anti-aging effects. For women over 30, using bone broth will yield positive results.
