The cold is about to pass, the weather is getting colder and colder, many friends will choose to soak in hot springs in winter, or exercise to exercise and exercise, but in fact, the real health in winter is to replenish yang, yang energy is a foot, so that you can warm up your body and warm up all winter days!
Then why do I say that the real health preservation in winter is to replenish yang? This has to start with the two functions of yang energy.
First of all, let's talk about the first function of yang energy, warmth
"The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" believes that "the blood is warm, and the cold is coagulated", the blood vessels need the warmth of yang energy, in order to run smoothly and unhindered throughout the body, once the yang energy is insufficient, the cold evil in winter invades the body and will "freeze" our blood vessels, coagulate the operation of the blood, and the blood runs to stop, it is easy to accumulate together to form blood stasis.
So friends, if you are in winter, you always feel that your body is not warm, and you wear three layers inside and three layers outside, like a penguin, but you still feel cold on your body, as if your body is really "frozen" by the cold of winter Living the same, the legs, feet and arms are particularly stiff to move, and it is very difficult to stretch and stretch, as well as cold hands and feet, cold pain in the waist and knees, stabbing pain in the shoulders and back, chest pain, etc., then it is mostly after yang deficiency, cold and evil condensation, and blood stasis in the body.
Secondly, let's talk about the second function of yang energy, transpiration
In the view of traditional Chinese medicine, yang qi has the function of transpiration and vaporization of water liquid, and the environment in the body needs the transpiration and vaporization of yang energy to maintain the balance of water and moisture, so that the body can be nourished by water and liquid at the same time, without being disturbed by dampness. Once the yang energy is insufficient, the transpiration vaporization of water is weak, and a large amount of water in the body that does not need to be absorbed by the human body is not evaporated by transpiration vaporization, but accumulates in the body, is stored in the bladder, and will become urine.
So this is also why, many friends in winter, do not dare to drink water, a little water, you don't have to do anything, just keep running back and forth in the toilet, especially at night, urinate more often and more, as well as weak urination, incomplete urine, clear and long urine, edema of the lower limbs, etc., in fact, after yang deficiency, there is too much waste water in the body, then it is necessary to replenish yang qi, diuretic water and uresis, you can refer to the Jinkui Kidney Qi Tang syndrome differentiation plus or minus.
Friends, health should learn to conform to nature, winter is the period when the body converges and stores essence, my advice is that whether you are taking a bath or exercising, don't let yourself sweat too much, what leaks is actually essence. Okay, that's all for your sharing today, the above content is only for popular science reference, not universal, if you feel unwell, seek medical attention in time for syndrome differentiation.
