In the cold Harbin, the breath of the winter solstice has been permeated. The coldest day of the year is just around the corner. Liang Xingfa, a retired haircut, is busy cleaning at home.
However, when he accidentally slipped while mopping the floor, he felt severe pain in his lower back.
Worried that something was wrong with his body, Liang Xingfa decided to go to the hospital for a check-up. At the hospital, he met his old friend, Li Zhiyuan, who was also a doctor.
After the examination, Li Zhiyuan told Liang Xingfa that there was no major problem in his waist, but a muscle strain.
During the conversation, Li Zhiyuan noticed Liang Xingfa's attention to winter health and began to talk to him about some unique views on winter health.
Li Zhiyuan first mentioned the "four eats", that is, the four dietary Xi that should be paid attention to in winter, and people who are physically strong should also make up for it.
The first is "warm food", he recommends eating more warm foods such as cabbage ball soup and mutton soup during the cold winter months, which can not only warm up the body, but also promote blood circulation.
The second is "yin-nourishing foods", such as black sesame seeds, walnuts, etc., which can nourish the body and are good for resisting the cold.
The third is "stomach food", Li Zhiyuan recommends eating more foods that are good for stomach health, such as sweet potatoes.
The last type is "immune-boosting foods", such as mushrooms, garlic, etc., which can help improve the body's resistance.
Next, Li Zhiyuan talked about the "three movements", that is, the three activities that should be carried out in winter.
The first is "indoor activities", and he recommends doing some light exercises at home, such as stretching exercises, during the cold winter months, to keep your body flexible and energetic.
The second type is "outdoor short-term activities", which can help the body get in touch with fresh air and strengthen physical fitness.
Finally, there is "mental activity", Li Zhiyuan believes that winter is also a good time to cultivate interests and engage in mental exercises, such as reading and puzzle solving.
Li Zhiyuan also talked about the importance of winter skin care. The dry climate of winter can easily lead to dry, itchy skin.
Therefore, proper skin moisturizing and bathing with water temperatures that avoid excessive heat are necessary.
He advises Leung Hing Fat to use gentle skin care products and maintain proper humidity indoors.
In addition, Li Zhiyuan also emphasized the importance of winter emotion management. He mentioned that some people may experience symptoms of winter depression due to reduced hours of daylight.
He recommends staying social, or engaging in light-hearted outdoor activities, which can help boost your mood and reduce seasonal depression.
At the end of the conversation, Li Zhiyuan reminded Liang Xingfa that although winter requires special health attention, excessive anxiety and tension are also a burden on the body.
He advised Liang Xingfa to maintain a calm mind, and proper relaxation and rest are equally important.
To sum up, Li Zhiyuan's suggestions mainly focus on the detailed adjustment of winter life.
He emphasised that health and well-being can be effectively promoted during the winter months by taking into account diet, activity and mental state.
