There is a constant way to live and not to work presumptuously
"Spring is born and summer is long, autumn harvest is hidden in winter", winter exercise should be carried out after the sun appears to prevent excessive consumption of yang. At this time, in the living, you should go to bed early and get up late. If you can reasonably arrange your living and resting in the winter season, you can maintain your spirit, and you can nourish your kidney essence in moderation.

The supplement is biased towards warmth
Winter supplements are in line with the characteristics of seasonal "hiding", which can store enough nutrients for the body and improve physical fitness. Since the winter is dominated by cold weather, especially after the winter solstice, the supplement is biased towards warmth and nourishing the yang qi to resist the cold and evil. It is said that "medicine is not as good as food supplements", and some diets often eaten on the winter solstice have a good effect of tonifying the sun and preventing cold.
