"Xiaohan Festival, fifteen days, seven or eight days at three or nine days", hearing this catchy agricultural proverb, people know that the fifth solar term of winter, Xiaohan, is coming soon. There are a total of 15 days from the small cold to the big cold, most of which are in the coldest three or nine days of the year, are you ready for the cold winter?
When it comes to the Xi of the Xiaohan solar term, the older generation often advises not to do 3 things and not to eat 2 dishes, do you know what it means? Continue the tradition and welcome the arrival of the Year of the Dragon safely.
Tomorrow Xiaohan, remember "3 things not to do"
1. Don't blindly take supplements
In cold weather, people's thirst for food is stronger than ever, especially some foods with high calorie and high fat content. Therefore, there is also the saying of "winter supplement".
Although the small cold tonic helps to improve our ability to withstand the cold, remember to be moderate and not blindly tonic. High-calorie foods such as barbecue, fried pork belly, and fried lard residue should be eaten as little as possible. Xiaohan tonic, should be a combination of meat and vegetables, control the heat, and keep in mind that it is too much.
2. Don't get up too early
Before and after Xiaohan, the night time is longer, the daytime is shorter, and the sunrise is generally after 7 o'clock in the morning, and the sky begins to light. Therefore, our sleep rules should also be adjusted according to the natural rhythm, and try to go to bed early and get up late, which will help to accumulate yang energy in the body.
If you get up too early, especially if you go out to exercise before dawn, the sun has not yet come out, the ambient temperature is low, and people are prone to cold. Even if you wake up early, you can stay in the bed for a while and wait until after 7 a.m. to get up again to protect the yang energy in your body.
3. Don't stay up late to sleep
Elders often say that sleep is the best way to maintain health. In addition to not getting up too early, try not to stay up late to sleep. Staying up late for a long time will lead to the accumulation of toxins in the body, metabolic disorders, and accelerate the rate of aging.
For those who are used to staying up late Xi, it is necessary to get rid of this Xi habit as soon as possible. If it's because of work, try to keep the work during the day. If you stay up late because you can't sleep, you should relax your brain half an hour before going to bed, don't look at your phone, and drink a glass of warm milk to help you sleep.
Tomorrow Xiaohan, remember "don't eat 2 dishes"
1. Pickles that have been marinated for too short a time
The cold winter wax moon is a good season to make all kinds of pickled vegetables. When pickling pickles at home, some people rush to take them out and eat them before they have been pickled for a few days, but they don't know that this is a wrong behavior.
There have been clear scientific studies that show that after the food is salted with table salt, the period between 24 hours and 10 days is when the nitrite content is high, and after 20 days, the nitrite in the food will be greatly reduced. Therefore, remember not to eat pickles that have been marinated for too short a time, and make sure to marinate them for more than 20 days before eating.
2. Leafy greens overnight
The cold climate in winter makes it easier for us to store food, but not all food is suitable for storage. Like cooked leafy greens, try not to eat them every other day, let alone overnight.
This is because overnight vegetables need to be reheated before eating, which will lead to a large loss of nutrients in green leafy vegetables. In the process of long-term storage, more nitrate will be produced in green leafy vegetables, and it may also be reduced to nitrite under the action of bacteria. If you eat this kind of leafy green vegetables overnight regularly, it is not good for your health.
After the arrival of Xiaohan, it will be the coldest day of the year in a few days. We must pay attention to it, this is the most critical winter supplement period of the year, we must ensure the quality of sleep, go to bed early and get up late, eat mainly warm supplements, eat more natural and healthy food, and exercise moderately. The physical and mental state is good, and when it comes to the New Year, you will have the energy to warm up your body through the cold winter!
