Without experiencing winter, you don't know the warmth of spring. It seems to be a fable, and it seems to be thinking, as if it is verifying something.
I am a person who has crossed the year of the flower armor, and naturally I have spent more than sixty spring, summer, autumn and winter, and my experience and understanding...
The winter of Gengzi in 2020 is something special. It was almost three or nine, there was neither rain nor snow, a warm weather. Suddenly, just last night, the wind blew up, and it was still blowing, pulling the whistle, rolling up the dust, and roaring. Needless to say, cold air came. Immediately after that, the first snow of the year, drifted in.
Many years ago, in the winter, the ice skate outside the window could hang more than a foot long, and these two days also flashed a real scene. The emerald lake outside the residential area, the huge lake surface, actually formed a transparent layer of ice between the clear waves. What is even more strange is that my more than 100-square-meter apartment seems to be a "cold kiln".
Early in the morning, my chime pointer locked at five o'clock. At five o'clock, Liu Ziling's version of the "Oriental Red" music sounded at the right time. Moreover, it is reported twice in a row. Normally, after the second sound fades off, at most three or five minutes, I roll over and get out of bed. That is, the life of the day must be started at this time.
However, these two days, I did not want to get up. Because the environment outside the window has changed, the breath in and out of the nose is also different. The arm that was moved out was squeezed by a stream of air and somewhat dare not stretch and wave. In particular, this seven-foot body curled up in the bed did not want to come out at all.
In any case, today's life can be regarded as "well-off". Even if no heating is installed, air conditioning is available. The problem is that decades of light life have formed a habit of pursuing the natural environment of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and not like confined spaces. Therefore, no matter how cold it is in winter, we also sleep with the windows open, and the heating objects such as air conditioning and electric oil tingles are just a decoration.
In the morning of the cold current, the tap water that came out of the faucet did not change in color, but it was no longer the usual "charm". At first, there was no feeling of water on the hands, but when picking rice and washing vegetables, the hand that reached into the water was like being cut by a thousand knives, and the cold air went straight into the bone marrow, which was prohibitive, but it had to continue to carry out normal operations, which was really not a taste!
No, there's still half the winter, and a few of my fingers are cracked. Helpless, can only be wrapped in tape, let it develop freely. Strangely, the cracked opening gradually healed, but the nails became gray, thick, and became nails. Moreover, from one to two, and then to three. Doctors say it is a fungal infection, typical of nail fungus. If left untreated, their "brothers" will be infected automatically. And, from hand to foot, there will be a staggered spread that does not fall. Treatment is also easy, the plaster can be applied externally, plus oral medicine can be treated internally. However, the doctor pointed to the oral medicine, a thousand dings, and ten thousand instructions: "Take it for a week, stop for two weeks." Liver function tests must be done after a course of treatment to see if the situation is determined. "That is to say, this medicine hurts the liver and should be used with caution." Therefore, the medicine was bought, but did not dare to eat. Broken fingers, not a big deal. If the liver is broken, life is gone. Which is more important? Needless to say.
Cold is inevitable, as long as there is a fire in the heart, the muscles and bones are constantly moving, everything is just an "experience".
Some are intolerant, some are guilty, and some are confused by the wife's body. She had some underlying diseases, such as coronary heart disease and cerebral infarction. One of the triggers for these diseases is high blood lipids and unstable blood pressure. When the day was cold, the meridians of the body could not be stretched, the blood veins were congested, and the qi rhyme was deposited. The performance of the external image is that no matter how much clothes are worn, the limbs are numb, and the hands and feet are cold. Since the beginning of autumn, he has been tossed by "shingles" for two or three months, and his physique has become even more unbearable. Every day, the body is shrunken, unstable, unable to sit still, walking backwards and forwards, like a soft species that wants to hibernate.
Chinese medicine believes that this is a weakness of Yang Qi and a weakening of the function of Warm And Warm Gasification; it is also a pathology of malnutrition and insufficient calories. The method of remission and treatment is not only to have a good living environment, psychological environment, but also to increase nutrition with appropriate exercise and exercise.
Eating is one of the ways to treat. But what would suit her needs?
Originally, our breakfast was porridge with rice. Sometimes, also eat a few steamed buns. The doctor said that rice noodles have a high sugar content and should eat less, otherwise, blood sugar is difficult to control. For her, the blood sugar is not high, which is a good thing. If blood sugar can't be controlled, it will be a catastrophic problem. So, for breakfast, eat soy milk, milk, onion fungus soup, and then a boiled egg. Nutrition is enough, but not hungry, and you have to eat something else. Moreover, soy milk can not be eaten often, especially in the body is prone to boils people to eat as little as possible, is not conducive to the circulation of qi and blood.
What about Chinese food? It is usually white rice, as well as light vegetables. The doctor also said that if you eat vegetarian every day, it will cause malnutrition and need a certain supplement.
To maintain and improve nutrition, you can't help but eat fish, meat and other fishy things. The problem is that these things are too greasy for people with "three highs" to eat. Therefore, I can only buy chicken, duck, fish, pork, beef or whatever, either fried sauce or stewed, never braised. In a word, it is necessary to have nutrition and not to have too much oil and meat.
In fact, such eating should be extremely simple. And me? When I was young, I only knew how to work, and when I was middle-aged, I loved my "hobbies" and rarely considered the problem of "being able to enter the hall and enter the kitchen". At the moment, I understand that the biggest difficult thing in life is eating!
My "halfway out" old cook was originally careless and clumsy. To make breakfast, either forget to put beans, or you can't grasp the viscousness. Dealing with fresh things such as fish and chickens is always busy and does not know where to start. Either the hair has not faded, or the lymph in the neck has not been completely removed. It has to be said that it is both a test and a necessity.
Life is diverse, in addition to three meals a day, but also need to exercise. However, people with a variety of physical diseases have exquisite ways and methods of movement. For people with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular problems and bad leg joints, exercise is important to be weightless, slow and relaxed. Fortunately, we live by emerald lake, and a walk is the best choice. So I locked in the time for my walks in the mornings and evenings of each day. In spring and autumn, at six or seven o'clock, the sun has come out, and it is most suitable for a walk. Summer needs to be earlier, should go out before six o'clock, if the sun comes out, too sunny and too hot, it is very uncomfortable. What about winter? Especially when it was cold on March 9, I chose to go out after breakfast, the warm sun, the leisurely breath, and the slow pace... Three kilometers along the lake, from the south gate to enter and out of the south gate, just walk back hair sweat, the soles of the feet nourish the heat, can not be uncomfortable!
Of course, these are all under normal circumstances to feel the ease. Sometimes, in some states, it's a different story. Bad mood, can not sleep at night, tasteless diet, physical fitness is obviously different, the prominent performance is dizziness, eyes, unstable legs and feet, walking difficulties. At this time, she cannot be allowed to be "lazy" and must go out. Didn't the ancients say that "life is in motion"? That is to say, no matter at what time and in what state, you can't be "lazy", you need to let the bones and blood move. Only when we move can we "live" and have spirit.
Many times, to shake her movement, both patience and care. Not to mention, the body is not good, the temperament is still urgent. Crossing the street, you have to see the traffic lights, pull it, and in the effective time, quickly and gently pass the zebra crossing. In the park, although there are sports equipment, there are many monks and porridge, and it is often necessary to wait. She can't wait, and she doesn't feel clean. I have to persuade her to be patient, help her take care of her belongings, take care of her hygiene, and let her have a peaceful and orderly exercise environment.
Our residence is multi-storey, no elevator, up and down is on foot. It's no problem to go downstairs, just remind her to be careful. What about going upstairs? I need to hand her a finger, give her some strength, give her a little security, and then complete a climb safely.
In winter, nature is cold. If it's not cold, it's not winter. Life cannot be separated from spring, and it cannot be without winter. With the closure and brewing of winter, there can be spring erection and growth!
My winter is cold and cold, but my winter is also walking in a fiery heat!
