1, Precautions for health preservation in winter
1, go to bed early and get up late, and soak your feet before going to bed.
Light snow solar terms should enhance physical fitness, improve immunity and cold resistance. First of all, to ensure adequate sleep, it is best not to rest later than 22 o'clock.
Soaking feet with hot water every night can stimulate plantar acupoints, or take time to do foot warming exercises, increase waist and leg strength, promote blood circulation of lower limbs, prevent frostbite, and improve the body's cold resistance.
2, unfavorable "five dew"
It means that the head, neck, back, knees and feet are not suitable for cold stimulation. Especially in the foot, there is abundant peripheral circulation. If the feet are cold, it can reflexively cause the capillary contraction of the upper respiratory tract mucosa, resulting in decreased resistance.
It is not advisable to wash your face with warm water.
Washing your face with warm water felt very warm at that time, then the heat was lost and the capillaries resumed contraction at a cold temperature. Washing your face with cold water can stimulate facial blood circulation, enhance skin elasticity, enhance your body's ability to keep out the cold, and prevent colds, rhinitis and neurasthenia. The suitable temperature of cold water is 10℃-15℃.
4, diligent exercise, not lazy.
Studies have shown that people who have less activity on weekdays are two to three times more likely to catch a cold than those with normal activity. This is because the lack of time for outdoor activities, fresh air and sunshine will slow down the blood circulation of the body, reduce the body's disease-resistant immunity, and make it difficult to adapt to the outdoor environment, so it is easy to catch a cold. To prevent colds, we should go to nature, actively exercise and strengthen our physique.
5, it is not appropriate to eat hot pot often.
Hot pot has high temperature, heavy taste and high purine. If you eat it regularly, it is easy to get angry and get aphtha, gum swelling and pain, and even burn or esophageal injury. The high content of purine in hot pot soup cooked for a long time is easy to cause hyperuricemia and induce gout, calculus and other diseases.
