except for the dead house air conditioning house, nothing can make my old legs take a step. So, air conditioning from morning to night, blowing at work, blowing at work, sleeping at night also blowing, cool and crooked at the same time, the slippery knee actually feel some discomfort, one stop, ow ...... pain!

Is it, blowing air conditioning greedy cool cost so big? Summer can not blow the air conditioning it? Of course not! Just we have to pay attention to some!

Why does blowing air conditioning make the joints painful?

Air conditioning can cause joint pain from both physiological and pathological perspectives.

Physiological perspective.

Cold stimulation affects local blood supply

Air conditioning puts people in a low-temperature environment, and the stimulation of too much cold will make the blood vessels contract sharply, which will slow down the blood flow and easily cause insufficient local blood supply or impaired reflux, causing joint pain.

Fatty joint parts are easy to lose temperature

In summer, everyone wears cool clothes, which makes the joint parts with weak subcutaneous blood vessels and fat exposed to cold air for a long time, resulting in serious loss of temperature and pain and discomfort.

Keeping a posture of air conditioning for a long time

Air conditioning causes joint pain in white-collar workers, mainly because they work in a long-term posture to maintain a state, it is difficult to get the joints to move, plus blowing air conditioning causes too much tension in the soft tissues, easy to produce joint discomfort, if there has been joint damage, but also aggravate the inflammatory exudation, resulting in local soft tissue adhesion, more likely to appear joint activity is limited, pain and other discomfort symptoms.

Pathological perspective.

With rheumatoid arthritis

The external environment is damp and cold will induce the disease. If you are greedy for coolness, blowing air conditioners for a long time, plus physical exertion and other factors, rheumatoid arthritis may be induced or aggravated and joint pain may occur.

Suffering from synovitis

This is usually caused by damage or degeneration of the meniscus, which has an important manifestation of pain when stimulated by cold. When the body's ligaments and muscle tissues are damaged, they will be more sensitive to changes in external temperature, and blowing on the air conditioner will cause the damaged tissues to contract and strain, producing pain.

Patients with osteoarthritis of the knee

These patients, if not treated in a timely manner as well as incompletely treated, will have symptoms such as sore knees and chills under exertion or cold conditions.

As long as it is cool and not painful, do these points you can!

See this, I believe you have a certain understanding of why blowing air conditioning can lead to joint pain, then how to only cool do not pain in the hot summer days? I offer some suggestions to you.

1. Have a history of joint disease less blowing air conditioning

At the same time, try to maintain more than 30 minutes of aerobic exercise every day to increase the body's resistance and immunity, after strenuous exercise when the body sweats a lot can not immediately into the air conditioning room, otherwise it will aggravate the pain of the joints.

2. air-conditioning temperature to 26 ℃

Blowing air conditioning, not the cooler the better! General air conditioning temperature in 24 ℃ to 28 ℃ when the human body feels most comfortable, so in the summer when blowing air conditioning, it is recommended that the temperature is adjusted to 26 ℃ is more appropriate.

3. Long-term blowing air conditioning to do a good job of keeping warm

Blowing air conditioning every day for too long, you can prepare a small blanket or thin jacket, women can also prepare a shawl, protect the exposed shoulder joints, knee joints and other parts of the easy to get cold.

4. Do not face the air conditioning vents

Many people just returned to the house from the outdoors, in order to eliminate the heat as soon as possible, like to blow directly against the air conditioner, not knowing that this will make the original hot skin suddenly stimulated, blood vessels will also be rapidly contracted, resulting in a sense of pain.

5. Control blowing air conditioning time

Many people in the workplace are blown from morning to night, the daytime units blow, sleep at night to continue to blow, which is very undesirable. It is recommended to spend some time during the day to the environment without air conditioning, the best way to sleep at night to air conditioning timing, do not sleep all night blowing air conditioning.

As a reminder, if the joint pain after blowing air conditioning is very obvious and affects the normal work and life, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible.
