<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="1" >01 · Spring and autumn freeze to protect health</h1>
Do you know what are the different ways to maintain health throughout the year?
● "Spring cover" refers to the need to continue to wear cotton clothes to "cover" for a period of time when the temperature has just warmed up in the spring. Because the temperature changes greatly in the spring, if people take off the cotton clothes prematurely, once the temperature drop exceeds the adaptability of the human body, the righteous qi is not enough to resist external evils, which can easily lead to the occurrence of diseases. Therefore, "spring cover" is very necessary.
● "Autumn freeze" means that when the temperature begins to cool in autumn, people should not increase their clothing too early and too much. Instead, as the temperature gradually decreases, gradually strengthen the body's righteous qi to improve the adaptability to low temperatures. In addition, when autumn comes, the summer heat has not yet receded, at this time, if people increase their clothes prematurely, once the temperature rises, they will sweat and be affected by the wind, susceptible to wind and evil.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="33">03 · Meridian nourishes yin and yang</h1>
What time do you usually go to bed? Do you think sleep is related to TCM?
● Simply put, meridian is to require every day to fall asleep on time at midnight and noon, and its main principle is "big sleep at the time of the child, nap at noon".
● According to the theory of the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic, the sub-hour, that is, from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m., is the time when the yin qi is strong and the yang qi is weak. Chinese medicine believes that "when the yang qi is exhausted, it is lying down", so the effect of sleep is the best and the quality of sleep is also the highest. In addition, the child time is also the time when the meridians circulate to the liver and gallbladder, and falling asleep at this time is conducive to nourishing the liver and protecting the liver.
Noon is from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., when the yang is the most abundant, the yin is weak, and "the yin is exhausted and sleeps", so you should also sleep at noon. However, when the yang is in full swing, it is usually the most efficient, so the lunch break is mainly "nap", which will not affect the work or the sleep at night.

Do you think toddlers should eat more or less at each meal? What are the precautions for dressing?
● There are many only children in China now, and parents are very fond of their children, but people find that the more children who are free of food and clothing, the more likely they are to get sick, which actually has a lot to do with improper diet and improper clothing.
● Zeng Shirong, a famous pediatrician in the Yuan Dynasty, wrote in the "Book of Living Young Hearts": "When you want to get peace in your children at four o'clock, you often have to be hungry and cold; I hope that everyone will follow this law, and natural diseases are not related." ”
He advocated that children should only reach seven full points when eating and maintain a slightly cold state when dressing.
● Traditional Chinese medicine believes that children are born with spleen deficiency, kidney deficiency, and lung deficiency, while the heart and liver are surplus. Children's digestive system is not yet mature, if you eat too much, it will increase the burden on the stomach and intestines, causing gastrointestinal diseases.
Because children's lungs are very delicate, they are prone to respiratory infections and cause lung inflammation, so children cannot get colds. However, if you dress too warmly, your child will be prone to colds after sweating. Therefore, according to climate change, children should be given more or less clothes at any time, so that children are in an environment of seven points warm and three points cold, which is conducive to exercising children's cold resistance and disease resistance.
