Winter is coming, the wind is cold, and everything is collected. In Guangdong, with the arrival of strong cold air in the middle of the month, winter fell overnight and survived the cold for a whole week. In this season, we should not only pay attention to tonics, but also follow the laws of nature and adjust our daily routines in order to survive the winter in good health.
"Go to bed early and wake up late and don't stay up late" is the first principle of winter health. In winter, the yang energy is hidden, and going to bed early can nourish the yang, and getting up late is to conform to nature. At the same time, avoid staying up late and tired, so as not to deplete the yang energy in the body.
"Pay attention to keeping warm and not cold" is also the key to winter health. Cold air invades the body, which can easily cause symptoms such as colds and coughs. Therefore, we need to add clothes in time, especially to protect the head, feet and other parts that are susceptible to cold.
"Moderate exercise is not excessive" is also something we need to keep in mind. The winter is cold, the human body's yang energy is introverted, and the amount of exercise should not be too large. Moderate exercise can help us stretch our body and promote blood circulation, but excessive exercise will deplete the yang energy in the body.
When it comes to diet, the principle of "don't eat the four things" also applies. Raw and cold foods, spicy and irritating foods, cold foods and excessively hot foods are not suitable for consumption in winter. On the contrary, we should pay attention to the diversification of the diet, and the combination of grains, fruits, meat and vegetables should be reasonable, and appropriate supplements of high-calcium foods. At the same time, it is also a good choice to eat more nuts, such as peanuts, walnuts, hazelnuts, chestnuts, etc.
After the winter solstice, the season of "entering the nine" should be strengthened to protect against the cold. Soaking your feet before going to bed can help relax your muscles and blood and prevent diseases. In addition, basking in the sun is also a good choice, such as drying your back in the morning when the sun is warm to replenish the yang energy in the body. Of course, it is also okay to eat some warm foods appropriately, such as mutton dumplings, black sesame rice balls, etc., but pay attention to the appropriate amount.
In short, winter health care requires us to follow the laws of nature, adjust our daily routine, and pay attention to dietary conditioning. Only in this way can we survive the winter in good health and welcome the arrival of spring.
