How should beginning of winter keep fit?
Man-beginning of winter began to hide kidney essence.
"Preservation" is the top priority of health preservation in winter. "Zang" is the essence and spirit hidden in the body, and the kidney in the viscera has the closest relationship with "Zang", and the kidney is the root of sealing Zang.
Traditional Chinese medicine classics such as Huangdi Neijing believe that storing essence is the primary function of kidney, and kidney essence includes reproductive essence and growth essence, which is a "barometer" reflecting human health.
If kidney essence can be "hidden", people will be full of energy and vitality; If kidney essence is not hidden, healthy energy will flow away, and pathogenic diseases will take advantage of it.
Therefore, in the cold winter, we need proper tonic and a good kidney, which helps to keep healthy and prolong life.
"storing kidney essence" means "tonifying", "treating" and "nourishing"
"Tonifying" means that people with congenital deficiency should tonify the kidney as soon as possible; "Cure" means that kidney disease cannot be ignored, and it should be treated as soon as possible. "Nurturing" means not being too tired in daily work and life, combining work and rest, and avoiding excessive use of kidneys and brains.
Women's kidney protection began in early winter.
The kidney is a very important organ in the human body. It can not only eliminate metabolic wastes and toxins, help us to achieve normal metabolism, but also promote human bone development and bone marrow hematopoiesis, so it is particularly important to protect the kidney.
After beginning of winter, the temperature dropped greatly, and people's bodies could not adapt to the sudden changes of environment and temperature for a while, resulting in decreased urine output and increased vasoconstriction. Therefore, during this period, the number of patients with renal function problems has always remained high, far exceeding the other three seasons.
How should we care for the kidneys?
1. Pay enough attention to the kidney.
First of all, we should pay enough attention to the kidney, such as edema, hypertension and other symptoms after a cold, and it is best to conduct a comprehensive examination of the kidney in time; Patients with streptococcus infection in throat and tonsil should be treated as soon as possible to avoid kidney inflammation; However, the kidney burden of patients with hypertension and diabetes is heavier than that of normal people, so the disease should be strictly controlled at the beginning of winter.
Drink plenty of water
Drink proper amount of water and don't hold your urine. Bacteria trapped in urine will infect our kidneys through the ureter.
3. Use drugs with caution
It's a three-point poison At present, many cold medicines and painkillers on the market have toxic and side effects on the kidneys. Don't take them casually or take them too much.
Old people-kidney qi is not empty, hands and feet are not cold.
After beginning of winter, many people, especially middle-aged and elderly people, often have cold hands and feet and are prone to catch a cold. The accumulation of old diseases has made their health worse and worse.
Nine times out of ten, there are such symptoms, which are kidney and spleen weakness, and Chinese medicine is mostly classified as kidney-yang deficiency. Due to the lack of yang in the body, the human body is particularly afraid of cold. Yang is the foundation of human body. Without it, just like a car without gasoline and a plane without fuel, it is impossible for the human body to operate.
Therefore, tonifying deficiency and nourishing kidney as early as possible is the key to ensure our healthy winter.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that spleen deficiency is the main cause of kidney-yang deficiency. Weakness of temper directly affects the digestion of food, resulting in insufficient calorie intake and insufficient qi and blood to nourish the five internal organs. This vicious circle will eventually lead to poor blood flow and cold hands and feet.
People with this symptom can eat more warm foods, such as leek, garlic, mutton, dog meat, beef, eel, shallot and longan.
Pregnant women-adequate and high-quality sleep
A good sleep is conducive to restoring physical strength and making people welcome the next day in high spirits.
It can be seen that sleep, like diet, is an important aspect of health preservation.
In beginning of winter season, sleep health advocates "going to bed early and getting up late". You should fall asleep between 1 1 every night and 1 the next morning, because yang is the weakest and yin is the most abundant at this time, so maintaining high-quality sleep at this time has a miraculous effect on nourishing yin.
Warm winter begins with mating.

2. Onion beef jiaozi
Cold hands and feet have something to do with the stomach.
