Hardening principles
Basic hardening methods

What is hardening ?

Hardening is a set of measures to increase the body's resistance to adverse weather and climatic conditions. Hardening- this is a kind of training of the body's defenses. Hardening procedures normalize the condition emotional sphere, make a person more restrained, balanced, they give vigor, improve mood. Hardening increases the efficiency and endurance of the body. A seasoned person easily tolerates not only heat and cold, but also sudden changes in external temperature, which can weaken the body's defenses.
The most important preventive role of hardening is that hardening does not heal, but prevents disease. Hardening can be applied by anyone, regardless of the degree of physical development.

From the history of hardening.

As a means of increasing the body's defenses, hardening arose in ancient times. Slavic peoples Ancient Rus used to strengthen health, a bath, followed by rubbing with snow or swimming in a river or lake at any time of the year. The bathhouse performed therapeutic and health-improving functions. Particular attention was paid to tempering in the Russian army, where the Russian bath was also widely used for "strength and health of the body".

Hardening principles.

Hardening Is the skillful use of the body's defense and adaptation mechanisms. It allows you to use the hidden capabilities of the body, to mobilize at the right time the defenses and thereby eliminate the dangerous influence of unfavorable environmental factors on it.

When carrying out hardening, it is best to adhere to a well-known medical rule: weak stimuli contribute to the better administration of functions, strong ones interfere with it, excessive ones are destructive.
Hardening must be carried out according to the following mechanisms:

Systematic use of hardening procedures.

The hardening of the body should be carried out systematically, day after day, throughout the year, regardless of weather conditions and without long breaks. Then the body develops a certain stereotyped reaction to the applied stimulus: changes in the body's response on the effects of cold, developing as a result of re-cooling, are consolidated and persist only when strict cooling repetition mode... - Breaks in hardening reduce the body's acquired resistance to temperature effects. So, carrying out hardening procedures for 2-3 months, and then stopping them leads to the fact that the hardening of the body disappears in a month, and in children in a week. - If signs of illness appear, the hardening is temporarily stopped, after recovery, it should be resumed from the initial period.

The gradual increase in the strength of the irritating effect.

Hardening will give a positive result if the strength and duration of the hardening procedures are gradually increased. Do not start hardening immediately with snow wiping or swimming in an ice hole. Such hardening can be harmful to health. The transition from less strong influences to stronger ones should be carried out gradually, taking into account the state of the organism and the nature of its responses to the applied influence.
At the beginning of the application of hardening procedures, the body develops a definite response from the respiratory, cardiovascular and central nervous systems. As this procedure is repeated several times, the body's reaction to it gradually weakens, and its further use no longer has a hardening effect. Then it is necessary to change the strength and duration of the effect of hardening procedures on the body.

Consistency in the hardening procedures.

Preliminary training of the body with more gentle procedures is necessary.
You can start with rubdown, foot baths, and only then proceed to douche, while observing the principle of gradual decrease in temperatures.

Taking into account the individual characteristics of a person and his state of health.

Before you start taking hardening procedures, you should consult a doctor, since hardening has a very strong effect on the body, especially on people who are first starting it. Taking into account the age and condition of the body, the doctor will help you choose the right hardening agent and advise how to use it in order to prevent unwanted consequences.
Observation of a physician during hardening will determine efficiency hardening procedures, to detect unwanted deviations in health and to plan further hardening. Evaluation of the effectiveness of hardening self-control of one's well-being, and on the basis of this, the dosage of hardening procedures can be changed. Self-control is carried out taking into account the following indicators: general health, body weight, pulse, appetite, sleep.

The impact of natural factors.

The main means of hardening are air, water, sun rays; combination with physical exercises increases the effectiveness of hardening procedures. The effectiveness of the hardening procedures is significantly increased if they are combined with the performance of sports exercises. At the same time, it is important to ensure that the magnitude of the load on the body is also different.

The main methods of hardening.

Air hardening.

The most common and readily available form of hardening is the use of fresh air. Walking is of great importance for improving health.

The hardening effect of air on the body increases the tone of the nervous and endocrine systems, improves digestion processes, improves the activity of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems... Staying in the fresh air improves the overall well-being of the body by influencing emotional condition, causes a feeling of cheerfulness, freshness.

A more pronounced effect is exerted by cool and moderately cold air baths. Taking for the purpose of hardening all the cooler.
Air baths, thereby training the body to low temperatures that provide thermoregulatory processes.
Warm baths, without providing hardening, nevertheless also have a positive effect on the body. A person tolerates heat more easily in dry air than in humid air. Dry air contributes to the loss of moisture in the body.

Air procedures for the purpose of hardening, they can be used by a dressed person in the open air (walks, sports activities), or by a naked person (sunbathing on the seashore, reading a book on an open veranda).

Air baths.

Air hardening prepares the body for subsequent hardening procedures, such as water hardening.
The dosage of air baths is carried out in two ways: a gradual decrease in air temperature and an increase in the duration of the procedure at the same temperature.
It is necessary to start taking air baths in the room, regardless of the season at a temperature not lower than 15-16 ° C, and only after a while you can switch to open air. They are taken in a well-ventilated area. Having exposed the body, one should remain in this state at the beginning of the hardening course for no more than 3-5 minutes (further increasing the time). When taking cool and especially cold baths, it is recommended to make active movements: gymnastic exercises, walking, running on the spot.

After appropriate preliminary preparation, you can proceed to the reception air baths on open air. They should be taken in a place protected from direct sunlight and strong winds. It is necessary to start taking air baths in the open air with an air temperature of 20-22 ° C. The first air bath should last no more than 15 minutes, each subsequent one should be longer by 10-15 minutes.

Wearing weather-appropriate clothing is essential for effective outdoor hardening. Clothing should allow free air circulation.

Water hardening.

An indicator of the effect of water hardening procedures is the reaction of the skin. - If at the beginning of the procedure it turns pale for a short time and then turns red, then this indicates a positive effect, therefore, the physiological mechanisms of thermoregulation cope with cooling. - If the reaction of the skin is weak, there is no blanching and redness - this means insufficient exposure. It is necessary to slightly lower the water temperature or increase the duration of the procedure. A sharp blanching of the skin, a feeling of extreme cold, chills and tremors indicate hypothermia. In this case, it is necessary to reduce the cold load, increase the water temperature or shorten the procedure time.

Rubdown- the initial stage of water hardening. It is carried out with a towel, sponge or just a hand moistened with water. Rubdown is performed sequentially: neck, chest, back, then wipe them dry and rub with a towel until red. After that, they wipe their feet and also rub them. The whole procedure is carried out within five minutes.
Douche- the next stage of hardening. For the first douches, it is advisable to use water with a temperature of about + 30 ° C, further reducing it to + 15 ° C and below. After dousing, vigorous rubbing of the body with a towel is carried out.
Shower- even more effective water treatment. At the beginning of hardening, the water temperature should be about + 30-32 ° C and the duration should not exceed a minute. In the future, you can gradually reduce the temperature and increase the duration up to 2 minutes, including rubbing the body. With a good degree of hardening, you can take a contrast shower, alternating 2-3 times water 35-40 ° C with water 13-20 ° C for 3 minutes. Regular intake of these water procedures causes a feeling of freshness, vigor, increased efficiency.

Hardening of the throat.

Gargling held every day in the morning and in the evening. Initially, water with a temperature of 23-25 ° C is used, gradually every week it decreases by 1-2C and is brought to 5-10 ° C.

For hardening, it is recommended, along with the general ones, to apply local water procedures. The most common of these is gargling with cold water, as this hardens the parts of the body that are most vulnerable to cooling.

V last years more and more attention is attracting winter swimming ... Winter bathing and swimming affect almost all bodily functions. In "walruses" the work of the lungs and heart is noticeably improved, gas exchange increases, the system of thermoregulation improves. Winter swimming should be started only after preliminary hardening training. Swimming in the ice hole begins, as a rule, with a short warm-up, which includes gymnastic exercises and light jogging. The stay in the water lasts no more than 30-40 seconds. (for long-term practitioners - 90 sec.). They always swim in a hat. After leaving the water, they make vigorous movements, wipe the body dry with a towel and carry out self-massage.

Hardening in the steam room.

Bath is an excellent hygienic, medicinal and hardening agent. Under the influence of the bath procedure, the body's working capacity and its emotional tone increase, the recovery processes are accelerated after intense and prolonged physical work. As a result of regular visits to the bath, the body's resistance to colds and infectious diseases increases. Staying in the steam room of the bath causes the expansion of blood vessels, increases blood circulation in all tissues of the body. Under the influence of high temperature, sweat is released intensively, which contributes to the elimination of harmful metabolic products from the body. Bath procedures are not recommended for people suffering from cardiovascular diseases, hypertension.

Tempered by the sun.

Solar infrared rays have a pronounced thermal effect on the body. They contribute to the formation of additional heat in the body. As a result, the activity of the sweat glands increases and the evaporation of moisture from the skin surface increases: the subcutaneous vessels expand and skin hyperemia occurs, blood flow increases, and this improves blood circulation in all tissues of the body. UV irradiation has a great biological effect: it promotes the formation of vitamin D in the body, which has a pronounced antirachitic effect; accelerates metabolic processes. UV rays improve blood composition, have a bactericidal effect, thereby increasing the body's resistance to colds and infectious diseases; they have a tonic effect on almost all body functions.
Leather different people has varying degrees of sensitivity to solar radiation. This is due to the thickness of the stratum corneum, the degree of blood supply to the skin and its ability to pigmentation.

Sunbathing.

Sunbathing for the purpose of hardening, they should be taken very carefully, otherwise, instead of benefit, they will bring harm (burns, heat and sunstroke). It is best to sunbathe in the morning, when the air is especially clean and not yet too hot, as well as in the late afternoon, when the sun goes down. Their duration should not exceed 5 minutes (then add 3-5 minutes, gradually bringing to an hour). You can't sleep while sunbathing! The head should be covered with a panama hat, and the eyes with dark glasses.
In conclusion, I note that hardening - important remedy prevention adverse impact weather and climatic conditions on the body. The systematic use of hardening procedures increases the overall level of human health.

Slide Description:

What is hardening? Hardening is a proven health promotion tool. Hardening procedures are based on repeated exposure to heat, cooling and sunlight. At the same time, a person gradually develops adaptation to the external environment. In the process of hardening, the work of the body is improved: the physicochemical state of cells, the activity of all organs and their systems are improved. As a result of hardening, efficiency increases, morbidity decreases, especially of a cold, and health improves.

Hardening method 2 - water quenching. Use for hardening water procedures has its own characteristics; water is a more energetic quenching agent than air. The thermal conductivity of water is 28 times higher than the thermal conductivity of air. In addition to temperature, water has a mechanical effect on the skin, being a kind of massage that improves capillary blood circulation.

Slide Description:

Water hardening form. The most common forms of water hardening at home are wipes, douches, and showers. Hardening should begin at a water temperature of at least 34 - 35 degrees. with daily dousing (rubbing) every 6-7 days, the water temperature should be reduced by 10 degrees and brought to 22-24 degrees. wiping and pouring water at the specified temperature is recommended to continue for 2 - 3 months. In the absence of negative reactions (catarrh of the upper respiratory tract, weakness, weakness or irritability, increased excitability, sleep disorders, appetite), you can proceed to hardening with water at a lower temperature - 22 degrees, reducing it every 10 days by 10; with daily rubbing (dousing), bring the water temperature to 10 - 12 degrees (tap water temperature). An effective way of hardening is a shower (it is recommended only for healthy and sufficiently hardened people): the water should be quickly switched from warm (about 40 degrees) to cold several times for about 3 minutes.

Hardening method 3 - sunbathing. It has long been established that the sun enhances the body's immunity and resistance to unfavorable factors external environment; it strengthens the nervous system, promotes the formation of melanin and vitamin D pigments in the skin, stimulates metabolism and hematopoiesis.

Slide Description:

Forms of hardening by sunbathing. The best time for sunbathing is from 9 am to 11 am. Children under 11 should start sun exposure in the "lace" shade of trees for 2-3 minutes. This is best done during outdoor games. In 5-7 days, delicate baby skin adapts and the procedure takes up to half an hour. Children 11-16 years old and adults can start sunbathing already from 5 minutes a day, bringing the duration of sunbathing to 2 hours a day. It is not recommended to be in the sun for more than 2 hours a day. If you have dry skin, you can lubricate it with olive oil before the procedure - this is the best sun cream. On oily skin, it is good to apply a warm strained tea infusion, which must be left on the skin until it dries completely. You must not go out into the sun after visiting the bathhouse and washing your face with soap: this destroys the protective grease of the skin and sharply increases the likelihood of burns.

Slide Description:

Hardening Method 4 - Exercise. Hardening factors also include physical exercise, in particular, morning hygienic exercises, which should be done, if possible, outdoors or in a carefully ventilated area. In order not to overcool the body in cold weather, outdoor activities are carried out at a more energetic pace and for a shorter time. In hot weather, especially in high humidity, measures should be taken to prevent overheating. After exercising, it is recommended to take a shower.

Slide Description:

Hardening method 5 - swimming in an ice hole. Bathing in open reservoirs has an energetic hardening effect, because thermal and mechanical irritation from water is combined with exposure to air, sunlight and movement during swimming. Almost all people who have no contraindications to swimming in the ice-hole can practice winter swimming ("winter swimming"); before that, a careful, gradual (at least a year) preparation of the body for the action of cold is necessary. Stay in cold water should last no more than 20 - 30 seconds and be accompanied by movement.

Slide Description:

Hardening method 6 - bath. The steam bath is of great hardening value, the combination of heat, steam, water and mechanical irritation (washing with a washcloth or a broom) enhances metabolic processes, respiration and blood circulation. However, you should not "steam" too often, and especially in old age (no more than 1 - 2 times a week; the duration of stay in the steam room should not be more than 10 - 15 minutes).

Presentation on hardening preschoolers

1slide. If you want to be healthy - temper!

The impression of many parents about preschool when their baby enters a completely new habitat, where the transmission of infection from one person to another is most likely, is often associated with anxiety of possible diseases, because the body preschooler forced to adapt immediately to many changes in his life: peer society, changes in diet and daily routine, and others.

One of the criteria for the effectiveness of our work is the high attendance of children and low morbidity. The educational program of our organization includes a system hardening activities, which allows to significantly reduce the level of general morbidity and prevent the occurrence of colds in groups. Let's figure out why and how we conduct hardening.

Hardening is a set of measures aimed at improving a person's health, normalizing his thermoregulation, which leads to a significant increase in the level of resistance to colds and infectious diseases. The procedures carried out for the purpose of recovery in groups are also aimed at raising the level of immunity, and these methods should be carried out taking into account the age of the baby and his state of health.

Hardening techniques have an extremely positive effect on physical health preschooler, because they allow you to increase the body's defenses and prevent the emergence and development of all kinds of diseases that are transmitted to each other.

You cannot make too great demands on an unprepared body, it may not cope with them. Compliance with the principle of gradualness is especially important for children, since the child's body does not yet have great resistance. To have the effect of hardening it is necessary to gradually increase the load.

You cannot interrupt started activities. But systematicity is needed not only in carrying out this or that special event. If all the activities are held, and the children walk a little, dress too warmly, not in accordance with the weather, then hardening cannot be considered complete. Hardening should be carried out systematically, best of all from the very younger age and continue throughout preschool period... It is also necessary to take into account the individual characteristics of the child.

There are sensitive children, more gentle means are applied to them hardening or more gradually, carefully, but completely refuse funds hardening is impractical... Children should be actively involved in hardening activities, know the order of their conduct.

The interest of children is important. The personal example of adults also has a great meaning: if adults themselves are afraid of the cold, do not like walks, they are unlikely to be able to raise children hardened.

Taking into account the individual characteristics of the child.

Before you start hardening, it is necessary to carefully study the physical and mental development of each child. Based on the data of medical examination, pedagogical observations, information received from parents, it is necessary to draw up recommendations for each child with their entry into the health sheet, which indicates not only health groups, but also medical groups.

An active and positive attitude of children towards hardening procedures.

results hardening largely depend on how children relate to him. Fear of the procedures and, moreover, their violent conduct will not contribute to their positive effect on the body.

5 slide. Start off hardening is possible if this activity is approved by the attending physician. In no case should sick babies be involved in training.

Program hardening includes water, air, solar procedures, work with mechanical and other irritants. Educators introduce parents to the methodology hardening, give recommendations on hardening the child at home... The intensity of the procedures should only increase. That is, educators should expand the area of influence, "aggressiveness" (temperature, etc.)... In particular, the water temperature should decrease every few days by two to three degrees.

It is important to monitor the children's responses. They should feel comfortable, not cry. If the child, due to illness or for some other reason, missed more than ten days of classes, then the procedure should be started from the initial level.

Hardening is carried out in accordance with age, for example, at an older age, it is possible to carry out more activities, as well as procedures for hardening you can spend a longer time.

Careful control over your well-being! - preschoolers they cannot always clearly articulate their condition in words, therefore, adult supervision when carrying out health improvement activities is mandatory.

Hardening is a complex system of health-improving measures and effects on the body using the healing forces of nature - the sun, air and water. Hardening principles: 1. Graduality. The body does not immediately adapt to unusual conditions, therefore, the increase in the strength of the irritating effect should be gradual. 2. Systematic. It is necessary to apply hardening procedures systematically, they must become a necessity. A break in hardening reduces the resistance to hardening. 3. Taking into account individual characteristics: age, health status, physical development, living conditions, the environment in which you live. 4. A variety of tempering agents using cold and heat treatments of varying intensities.

Recommendations: Wipe off with a towel or a sponge soaked in water, first - to the waist, and then whole; To wipe successively the neck, chest, arms, back, stomach, legs, then wipe them dry and rub the body with a dry towel until reddening along the movement of blood to the heart; The initial temperature of the water for wiping down in the summer is +26 .. + 28 oC, in the winter +30 .. + 32 oC.

Slide 10

Recommendations: Prepare 1 - 2 buckets of water; The initial temperature in summer is +28 ° C, in winter +30 ° C. Bring the water temperature to + 18 ... + 20 ° C; Pour water so that it evenly flows over the entire body from head to toe; After the water procedure, rub the body until reddening; The duration of the procedure is 3 - 4 minutes.

Hardening is a system of preventive measures aimed at the body's resistance to unfavorable environmental factors. Wellness hardening helps the body to improve its adaptation to environmental conditions. That is, a hardened body, even with significant fluctuations in ambient temperature, maintains the temperature internal organs within fairly narrow boundaries. For example: with a sharp decrease or increase in the temperature of the external environment, a hardened organism will sharply react by narrowing or expanding blood vessels to the threat of a possible strong cooling or overheating, and will limit or increase heat transfer. Whereas an unhardened organism will not be able to react so quickly, and will receive hypothermia or overheating.

In addition, hardening a person increases the body's endurance, strengthens the nervous system, increases immunity and resistance to diseases. Body hardening can be divided into several types, depending on the procedures performed:

Aerotherapy - air hardening. This type of hardening includes air baths and long walks in the fresh air. Fresh air hardens the body by cooling the skin receptors and nerve endings of the mucous membrane and thereby improves the body's thermoregulation. Air hardening is useful for the psychoemotional state of a person, increasing immunity, saturating the body with oxygen and thereby contributes to the normalization of the work of most organs and systems of the body. ... Air hardening is the simplest and most affordable hardening method. It is necessary to spend more time outdoors, regardless of the weather and season. You need to try to walk more time in parks, forests, near water bodies, since in summer the air in such places is saturated with useful active substances that are secreted by plants. In winter, walks in forests and parks are also very important, since the winter air contains practically no microbes, is more oxygenated and has a healing effect on the entire body.

Heliotherapy - sun hardening, exposure of the body to sunlight and heat. Sun hardening increases the stability of the nervous system, accelerates the body's metabolic processes, increases the body's resistance, improves blood circulation, improves the functioning of the muscular system, has a tonic effect on almost all body functions. Sun hardening can not only be beneficial, but also very harmful, therefore this type of hardening must be treated very responsibly and all the rules of sun hardening must be followed. Under no circumstances should burns, overheating and thermal shock be allowed. Improper sun hardening can lead to serious illnesses. Sun hardening should take place gradually and take into account age, human health, climatic conditions and other factors.

Walking barefoot.

Water hardening. Water hardening is a very beneficial procedure for the human body. With water hardening, blood circulation in the body occurs more intensively, bringing additional oxygen and nutrients to the organs and systems of the body. Rubdown. ... Dousing. Dousing is more effective in terms of influencing procedure than rubdown. Dousing can be general, that is, the whole body, and local - dousing of the feet. After the drenching procedure, you must rub the body with a dry towel. Shower. Shower hardening is an even more effective hardening procedure than wiping and dousing. There are two options for hardening a shower, these are cool (cold) showers. This type of water hardening is becoming more and more popular every year. Therapeutic bathing and winter swimming has a wonderful effect on all organs and systems of the human body, the work of the heart and lungs improves, the thermoregulation system is being improved.

Walking barefoot. This type of hardening is useful for both children and adults. There are a large number of biologically active points on the feet of a person, which, when walking barefoot, are stimulated and help to normalize the work of many organs and systems of the body. Walking barefoot increases the body's resistance to colds, improves immunity. This type of hardening is a good prevention of many diseases.

Hardening rules

It is necessary to start hardening procedures when a person is completely healthy. Children and people suffering from various diseases can start hardening with gentle procedures and only after consulting a doctor.
.

The principle of gradualism must be observed. This applies to both the temperature regime and the time frame of the hardening procedures. When quenching with water, you need to start the procedure with water at room temperature, gradually lowering it by 1-2 degrees. When hardening by the sun, it is also necessary to observe the principle of gradualness and start exposure to the sun from a few minutes, gradually increasing the time spent in the sun.
.

It is also very important to carry out hardening procedures regularly, without long intervals, in any weather and season. If, nevertheless, it so happened that you interrupted hardening for a long time, then it must be resumed with more gentle procedures.
.

Combine hardening with physical exercise... This will greatly increase the effectiveness of hardening procedures and will have a beneficial effect on the entire body.
.

Tempering should bring vigor and joy. If you feel unwell after hardening procedures, you must stop hardening and consult a doctor.
.

When hardening, it is necessary to take into account the individual characteristics of a person, state of health, season, natural and climatic conditions, and so on.
.

Carrying out hardening procedures, it is necessary to carry out self-control. Evaluate general health, pulse, blood pressure, appetite and other indicators depending on the individual characteristics of the body.
.

Remember that hardening is part of a healthy lifestyle. Remember to pay attention your diet and other aspects of your life.
