Life begins with "sleeping in". In daily life, it is recommended to go to bed early and get up late, and do it at sunrise to ensure adequate sleep. You can also sleep in properly, which is conducive to the hiding of yang and the accumulation of yin essence. Young people should avoid rich nightlife and going to bed too late. Old people should avoid getting up too early when doing morning exercises. Many people like to get up before dawn and go out for morning exercise, which is not suitable in winter. In the morning, when the temperature is low, the sympathetic nerve of human body is excited, which causes the contraction of skin capillaries, the increase of blood circulation obstruction, the easy increase of blood pressure and the increase of myocardial oxygen consumption. Morning exercise in the elderly is easy to cause accidents such as myocardial infarction or cerebral hemorrhage. The time for morning exercise in winter can be appropriately postponed, and "exercise only when you see the sun". After the sun comes out, the temperature will rise and the air quality will get better. Outdoor activities should be carried out after 9: 30 am and before 4 pm, with slight body heat as the degree.
Dress appropriately. As the saying goes, "Cold starts from the feet". Because the foot is the farthest end of the human body, the fat is thin and the warmth retention ability is poor. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that plantar acupoints are closely related to human internal organs. If the feet catch cold, it will cause colds, abdominal pain, low back pain, dysmenorrhea and other diseases. After winter, the temperature is low and the climate is dry, so it is easy to get frostbite and chapped due to cold stimulation. Therefore, it is "appropriate" to keep warm in winter. Too few clothes are too thin, which not only consumes yang, but also easily catches a cold; If you wear too many clothes, you will have loose bowels, the yang will not be hidden, and cold pathogens will easily invade.
Pay attention to keep warm during exercise. Winter exercise is essential. But it's cold in winter and people's limbs are stiff, so it's very important to warm up before exercise. Such as stretching limbs, jogging, light equipment, make the body sweat slightly, and then carry out high-intensity fitness exercise. Clothing depends on the weather, mainly to keep warm and prevent colds. Put on clothes in time after exercise to avoid catching a cold. In addition, patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases should be prohibited from doing strenuous exercise, such as playing ball games and climbing mountains. Middle-aged and elderly people with respiratory diseases should avoid cold stimulation, and avoid exercise in the morning and evening when there is plenty of sunshine, so as not to induce acute diseases. Old people should pay more attention to keep warm.
Winter is the off-season for vegetables, so people can eat some potatoes, such as sweet potatoes and potatoes. They are all rich in vitamin C, vitamin B and vitamin A, and red sweet potatoes also contain more carotene. Eating more potatoes can not only supplement vitamins, but also clear the fire. You can eat some vegetables, tofu, fungus and so on. In addition, besides Chinese cabbage, Chinese cabbage, radish, carrot, bean sprouts, mung bean sprouts, rape, etc. are also popular dishes listed in winter. These vegetables are rich in vitamins and need to be changed frequently and matched reasonably.
