From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine health preservation, during the frost season, the public should pay attention to adjusting their work and rest, increasing or decreasing their clothing, not only to prevent cold and keep warm, but also to pay attention not to excessive sweating and depletion of the body's yang.
First of all, we must pay attention to the work and rest rules during the frost season. As the weather gradually colder, the yang energy of the human body gradually converges, it is advisable to go to bed early and get up early to ensure adequate sleep, which helps to restore physical strength and adjust the biological clock.
Secondly, we must choose clothing reasonably. During the frost season, the temperature changes greatly, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is obvious, so in the morning and evening or outdoor activities, it is necessary to appropriately increase clothing to keep warm. At the same time, when the indoor temperature is high, it is necessary to adjust the clothes in time to avoid excessive wear, so as not to cause excessive sweating and loss of yang.
In addition, diet conditioning is also important. Warm foods, such as stewed soup, porridge, etc., should be eaten more to supplement the body's energy and keep warm. Appropriately increase the intake of protein, vitamins and minerals to enhance immunity and resistance.
In addition, during the frost season, we should also pay attention to reducing the intake of cold food, such as raw and cold food, cold drinks, etc., to prevent the invasion of cold and evil spirits. At the same time, avoid excessive fatigue and staying in a humid and cold environment for a long time to avoid damaging yang and health.
