Xiao Gang, deputy director of the Bureau of Internal Medicine and Health Care, president of the Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine Experts, wished everyone a healthy New Year

The traditional festival of the Chinese nation - the Spring Festival is coming, I read the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic" sixteen characters "law in yin and yang, and in the number of techniques, diet is moderate, living and living is constant" there is a sense, close-up the following, I wish everyone a healthy and safe New Year, happy and happy Spring Festival.

First, the temperature, type, amount and time of eating and drinking.

1. The fruit taken back from a low temperature place such as a lanai is placed indoors for an hour or two, and the cold food taken out of the refrigerator is heated before eating. Remember: You can't eat or drink anything cold all year round. There are many people who have recently consulted patients with stomach pain, bloating and diarrhea caused by cold diet.

2, the Spring Festival is still in the winter of the number nine cold days, the principle of diet should be "local, seasonal, fresh". The types of foods eaten should be mainly black, white and yellow, such as black fungus, lilies, mushrooms, soybeans, and root-block foods, such as lotus vegetables, sweet potatoes, potatoes, yams, radishes, etc. (eat radish in winter and eat ginger in summer, and do not prescribe by doctors); meat is mainly pigs, sheep, cattle and fish raised in the original ecology. Try to eat less semi-processed and refined foods that are rich in additives and preservatives.

3, the New Year, go to the family, relatives and friends get together. Remember that "if you want to be physically and mentally safe, you must be hungry and cold." Do not eat too much and too full, especially for dinner do not eat too much staple food and meat, otherwise the next morning will feel bitter mouth, bad breath, bloating, no appetite, general discomfort.

4. The time and content requirements of the three meals are also different. Eat more meat, beans and eggs at breakfast 7-9 o'clock; lunch can be a staple food with stir-fried vegetables at 12-13 o'clock; dinner 17-18 o'clock, it is best to boil cabbage with large meat and cheeks.

Second, wear the cover of the quilt, add or subtract at the right time.

5, during the Spring Festival, the indoor and outdoor temperature difference is large, go out to add clothes, enter the door to reduce clothes must be timely and moderate. Wearing too thick winter sweating is not conducive to health, wearing too thin is prone to cold and lead to cough, cold, stomach pain, bloating and other symptoms and diseases.

6, the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, and the thickness of the quilt should also be adjusted in a timely manner. The quilt is too thick, it is difficult to fall asleep, it is easy to sweat when sleeping (sweating in winter is not good for health) and it is also easy to wake up, which seriously affects the quality of sleep; the quilt is thin and easy to get cold, causing nasal congestion, runny nose, sore throat, stomach pain, bloating, leg cramps and other symptoms.

Third, the evil and thief wind, avoid it sometimes

7, as the saying goes: "The wind of winter drills holes". During the Spring Festival, the indoor temperature is high, and people are prone to a feeling of suffocation. We will open the door and window from time to time to breathe, we must pay attention not to let the cold cool wind blow to any part of the human body, the blood vessels are hot and swollen and contracted, so where it blows, there will be problems, light colds and colds, heavy facial paralysis.

8, by the way, the cool breeze of the summer air conditioner and the fan can not be directed at any part of the human body, and it will also cause disease.

Fourth, exercise appropriately and sleep reasonably

9, the Spring Festival eats well, the content is rich, people are lazy and do not want to move. But for the sake of health, be sure to exercise properly. In winter, try not to exercise strenuously, and more soothing and rhythmic sports such as opening and closing jumping, shaking the abdomen, qigong, and yoga can be used. Exercise should be carried out during the day when there is a sun, adhere to the principle of "sunrise and work, sunset and rest", do not rise in the morning the sun has not come out, at night the sun sets and exercise, seriously reduce immunity. If you don't exercise, the way of exercising is not right, and the wrong time of exercise is wrong, you are not sick to find a disease, and there is no disease to create a disease.

10, the New Year, for the sake of mental and physical health we should pay more attention to sleep and rest. Golden Sleep Time is from 21:00 pm to 3:00 am. "Nightlife" has a serious impact on people's physical and mental health. In Kai-Fu Lee's "Born to Die", with his own skin pain, he especially pointed out that staying up late affects immunity the most.

Their own experience, for the reference of northern cities in winter.

May everyone be mentally and physically healthy and have a healthy and happy year.
