There are 3 things to avoid:
Excessive alcohol consumption:
Winters are cold, and many people choose to drink alcohol to keep warm. However, excessive alcohol consumption can have an impact on physical health. Alcohol can worsen the loss of calories in the body, which can lead to colds and other health problems. Therefore, in the Xiaohan solar term, we should drink alcohol in moderation and avoid excess.
Close doors and windows:
The weather is cold in winter, and many people are Xi to close doors and windows tightly, afraid of the cold entering the room, and keep the room warm. However, a long-term confined environment can lead to poor air circulation and elevated carbon dioxide levels, which can easily lead to the growth of indoor bacteria. Therefore, we should properly open windows for ventilation and maintain indoor air circulation, which helps to purify the air and prevent diseases.
Staying up late excessively:
Winter nights are long, and many people tend to stay up late. Staying up late for a long time can disrupt the body's biological clock, leading to decreased immunity and physical fatigue. During the Xiaohan solar term, we should maintain a good routine Xi rest habits, try to go to bed early and get up early, so as to provide sufficient rest and recovery time for the body.
In the Xiaohan solar term, we should conform to the characteristics of the solar term and reasonably arrange our diet and living Xi habits. Stewing 1 dish and boiling 2 soups can provide us with rich nutrients and nourishment. At the same time, avoiding bad Xi such as excessive drinking, closing doors and windows, and staying up late can help us stay healthy and welcome the new year. Welcome the New Year with a healthy body and a positive mindset.
