1. Actively carry out cold-resistant exercise: hit Tai Ji Chuan. It is to make all parts of the body move and promote blood circulation. If the hands are cold, the activity circle of the upper limbs and hands should be slightly larger when playing Tai Ji Chuan; It's just that your feet are cold When playing Tai Ji Chuan, you should lower your posture, which will make your lower limbs and feet exert more force and let the blood flow downwards. Pay attention to breathing when fighting.
Self massage. The massage part is: Xinshu point (the part of the spine and hamstring between the left and right scapula). Press 36 times, turn left 18 times and turn right 18 times. If you can't reach this part yourself, you can ask others for help. Shenshu point (the "waist eye" on both sides), press and knead for 36 times, turn left 18 times and turn right 18 times on each side. Press the point of kneading Qi Chong (inside the thigh root), and there is a pulsating artery under the point. Rub the acupoints of Qi Chong first, and then press the acupoints of pulsating artery, one by one, alternately, until the legs and feet feel hot air flowing downwards. This method is commonly known as "bloodletting" and is very good for promoting blood circulation in the legs.
Rubbing Yongquan point is limited to feeling the heat, and then rubbing toes, especially a few hairs in the second section of the big toe, which is called Sanmao point. You should rub it more, and then gently knead it for 3 ~ 5 times.
2. Eat more black food: Traditional health care pays great attention to "weather". Black food such as black rice, black beans, black sesame seeds, black fungus, black dates, black mushrooms, black mulberry, konjac, silky fowl, squid fish, soft-shelled turtle, kelp, laver, etc. Suitable for eating in winter, which is determined by the relationship between heaven and earth. The ancients thought that the cold in winter is similar to water, which is related to the kidney in the five internal organs of the human body and the black in the five colors of nature. Therefore, the kidney corresponds to the winter and black into the kidney.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that kidney stores essence, which is the source of life and the material basis of various functional activities of human body. The growth, aging, immunity and disease resistance of human body are closely related to the rise and fall of essence in kidney. "The kidney governs the sting and seals the wood", and it is the most timely to tonify the kidney in winter.
Modern research shows that the color of food is closely related to nutrition, and the natural pigment of food changes from shallow to deep with the objective existence, and the nutritional components are more abundant. Eating black food can benefit and strengthen the kidney, enhance human immune function, delay aging, and eat it in winter is more effective. Different from mutton and dog meat, black food is not only rich in nutrition, but also the highest among many foods, and most of them are mild in taste, nourishing but not greasy, eating but not dry, which is especially beneficial to the weak and afraid of cold.
Beginning of winter, as the first solar term in winter, has the custom of beginning of winter to make up for winter every year around 1 1 month 8, and there is a saying that "winter makes up for it, and spring kills tigers". Therefore, whenever you go to beginning of winter, people in the north and south will make food in different ways, saying that only in this way can you resist the cold in the cold winter. So in real life, what should we pay attention to when we start winter tonic? Is it true that everyone can eat enough? Let's ask the experts to teach slowly.
Kelp can also resist cold in winter.
The cold climate in winter affects the endocrine system of human body, which increases the secretion of thyroxine and adrenaline, thus promoting and accelerating the decomposition of protein, fat and carbohydrate, increasing the body's cold-proof ability, thus causing excessive loss of heat. Therefore, winter nutrition should focus on increasing heat energy. Nutrition experts say that the intake of staple food and oil can be appropriately increased in winter to ensure the supply of high-quality protein. Mutton, beef, chicken, venison, shrimp, pigeon, quail, sea cucumber and other foods are rich in protein and fat, generating a lot of calories. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that tonifying kidney and strengthening yang, warming the middle and lower temperature, benefiting qi and generating blood have the best cold-proof effect.
In addition, fear of cold is related to calcium and iron deficiency. People's fear of cold is related to their lack of intake of certain minerals. For example, the content of calcium in human body can directly affect the elasticity and excitability of myocardium, blood vessels and muscles; Iron deficiency in blood is an important cause of iron deficiency anemia, which is often characterized by low fever and hypothermia. Therefore, supplementing foods rich in calcium and iron can improve the body's ability to keep out the cold. Calcium-containing foods mainly include milk, bean products, kelp, seaweed, shellfish, oysters, sardines, shrimp and so on. Iron-containing foods are mainly animal blood, egg yolk, pig liver, soybeans, sesame seeds, black fungus and red dates.
Kelp and laver can promote the secretion of thyroxine and generate heat. There is a thyroid secretion called thyroxine, which can accelerate the oxidation of many tissues and cells in the body, increase the body's heat production capacity, enhance the basal metabolic rate, accelerate the blood circulation of the skin, and keep out the cold, while foods containing iodine can promote the secretion of thyroxine. Foods rich in iodine are: kelp, seaweed, Nostoc flagelliforme, jellyfish, spinach, Chinese cabbage, corn and so on. Animal liver and carrots can increase cold resistance. The cold climate causes obvious changes in human vitamin metabolism. Increasing the intake of vitamin A and vitamin C can enhance the cold tolerance and adaptability to cold, which has a good protective effect on blood vessels.
Sesame and sunflower seeds that we usually eat can also provide essential elements for cold resistance. Cold weather will increase the demand for methionine. Methionine can provide a series of methyl groups necessary to adapt to cold through transfer. So eat more sesame seeds, sunflower seeds and vegetables in winter.

Don't forget to take vitamins.
According to our traditional folk custom, "beginning of winter" stands for the beginning of winter. Nature is full of yin and yang, and everything hides yang, waiting for spring. "Cold" is the main feature of winter climate change. In winter, besides paying attention to cold and warmth, diet health care is also very important.
Winter is the off-season for vegetables. Therefore, after a winter, people often have vitamin deficiency, such as vitamin C deficiency, which leads to oral ulcers, root swelling and pain, bleeding, constipation and other symptoms. Then people can eat some potatoes properly, 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. In addition to Chinese cabbage, cabbage, radish heart, white radish, carrot, bean sprouts, mung bean sprouts, rape and so on. It should also be selected in the main course listed in winter. These vegetables are rich in vitamins, so it is necessary to change varieties frequently and mix them reasonably to supplement the human body's demand for vitamins.
As the saying goes, "three nine make up one winter, and the next year will not hurt." Winter is also a good time for tonic, but to remind everyone, it is best to let the stomach adapt to tonic first. Generally speaking, you can choose to stew beef and red dates, peanuts and brown sugar first, or cook some ginger and red dates beef soup to adjust the function of the spleen and stomach. Drinking hot porridge in winter is also a good choice for health. For example, eating "Laba porridge" helps to increase calories and nutritional functions. Cereal porridge has the function of nourishing the heart and removing annoyance, sesame porridge can nourish yin and essence, radish porridge can help digestion and resolve phlegm, and so on.
