Tomorrow's thirty-nine. We start counting nine from the day of the winter solstice solar term, 9 nine days, counting the next year's stunning solar term, winter goes to spring, and spring flowers bloom.
Sanjiu, is the third nine, coinciding with the Xiaohan solar term, "3949 walking on ice" and "Sanjiu is frozen and shivering", it should be the coldest time of the year, many people don't feel cold this year, in fact, it is not a good thing.
It is said that the snow is a good year, the snow is auspicious, and the snow is like a quilt for the earth, and the quilt is thick, so that the yang energy under it can be well stored.
People are the same, when they are cold, they can be cold, and people's kidneys are well stored and their foundations are stable. If the weather is too warm, the yang energy is vented, and the kidney yang is insufficient, and in the spring, it is easy to get sick. The south is warm, and the north is that the heating at home is too hot, which is not good for yang sealing.
The more this is the case, the more we do some small things in our daily life, keep the yang energy firmly in the body, and wait for the spring of the next year.
Don't: Out-of-season vegetables and fruits consume yang energy Appropriate: natural tonic
The body is smart. According to Xu Wenbing, if you eat food that you don't have in winter, your body will think that spring is coming. It won't be hidden.
Out-of-season food has "shape" and no "quality", because the reason why food can nourish people is that it must be grown in accordance with the solar terms, so that we can get the qi of heaven and earth, and we can only raise us when we eat it.
The out-of-season food in winter is easy to not digest and easily hurt the spleen, stomach and yang.
Pay special attention to eating less:
1. Clearly know that it is not a winter food, such as watermelon, mango, cucumber, etc.
2. Some sprouts. It has a germinating breath and is not suitable for eating in winter.
So what to eat?
1. Foods that are on the market in large quantities during this season, and preferably stored for a while. After the fruits and vegetables are stored, the power of the hair is weakened, which can be better digested and absorbed by the human body, reducing energy consumption.
2. Eat some vegetables that are heavy in the winter. Potatoes, yams, turnips, sweet potatoes, carrots, taro...... In particular, root vegetables are heavy and replenished to the middle qi.
3. Eat some nuts: pine nuts, walnuts, chestnuts, hazelnuts to help nourish kidney qi.
4. Eat food, whether you are losing weight or not. Here is the most precious essence.
5. Eat something that is not fresh.
For example, sauerkraut, pickled vegetables, stinky tofu...... The Neijing says, "The north is black, and it enters the kidneys...... Its stinky rot", the kidney should be sealed in winter, the rot is the smell of fermentation, into the kidneys, this is the most suitable time of the year to eat fermented food.
忌：熬夜，晚起 宜：「冬眠」
Staying up late in winter is more overdrawn than in summer. Sleeping is the process of yang into yin, and it is necessary to hide it in winter, and the body is strong to beat the spirit, just like lighting a lamp to boil oil, not staying up late, but staying up. Humans can't hibernate, but there is a winter in a day, and you can sleep in the middle of a day.
At 23~1 o'clock, be sure to fall into a deep sleep. 23 o'clock ~ 3 o'clock, these four hours are the most effective sleep time, I advise you to stay up, these 2 hours should also rest. If you miss it, no matter how much you sleep, you won't be able to do it the next day.
Lying down will return to the liver, try to sleep on the right side today
The right side of the lying position can make the heart less stressed, and when lying on the side, the limbs can be placed in a more comfortable position, which is conducive to the relaxation of the body.
Don't: Running at night, sweating profusely, taking a bath frequently Advisable: Seal yang qi and accumulate energy
Many southerners don't understand that in winter, northerners don't bathe every day. Taking a bath is a kind of "catharsis", and after a long time, it is easy to consume gas and hurt the body.
Have you ever had this experience, after taking a bath for a long time, you will feel very tired and tired after coming out. There are also people who, after taking a bath, are not easy to fall asleep, and their body's qi and blood are forcibly led to the surface of the body because of the hot water, tossing the yang energy that should be resting, so they are excited.
In winter, it should be yang energy convergence and "no leakage of skin". When not bathing, you can simply scrub and spot clean.
In addition to bathing, frequent gua sha, cupping, and sauna are not suitable for the winter of astringent storage. It's not that you can't, you must pay attention to the number of times. If you feel tired, stop and let your qi and blood rest.
There is a saying that practice three nines in winter and three dogs in summer. It's right to practice in summer, and you have to sweat at sunrise in summer. Winter practice Sanjiu was misunderstood by many people, thinking that they would also go to the ice water to prick a fierce son and go to the gym to sweat profusely.
The ancients said that "winter practice 39" refers to practice. For example, meditation and standing on a stump to make the internal flow of qi and blood meridians are much more important than the external movement of muscles, bones and skin.
When we exercise, we should also pay attention to the amount of exercise, sweat slightly, and not sweat profusely, otherwise it will become gas consumption.
In a world that consumes blood and is tangled, quiet is to make up
We are in a chaotic world, busy and difficult to focus, and difficult to be in a happy state of flow. The ancients called it "fatigue and annoyance", staying for a long time will invisibly consume yang energy, this year's Spring Festival evening, January is slightly embarrassing, and the time of anxiety has become longer. Many people are prone to irritability, depression, anxiety, and entanglement...... These are all dark blood consumption.
It is advisable to meditate in winter, this is the time to help us gain energy, the qi and blood slowly become quiet, and a person becomes calm, which is the beginning of good luck.
