2, winter health should pay attention to moderation: according to the theory of Chinese medicine, winter is the season of storing essence. At this time, due to the cold climate, the human body has higher requirements for energy and nutrition, and its digestion and absorption function is also relatively strong. Proper tonic can not only improve the body's disease resistance, but also store the effective components in the tonic in the body, laying the foundation for health in the spring of next year and even throughout the year. As the saying goes, "three nine make up one winter and there will be no pain in the coming year" comes from. Chinese medicine believes that the period from beginning of winter to beginning of spring is most suitable for winter tonic.
3, winter health should pay attention to going to bed early and getting up late: after winter, you may wish to go to bed early and get up late, on the one hand to ensure adequate sleep, on the other hand to maintain the balance of yin and yang in the body. Winter is the season when plants wither and everything hides. The human body should also reduce its activities appropriately with the changes of nature, so as not to disturb the yang and damage the yin essence. Especially for the elderly, the yang in the body is not abundant, so it is better to go to bed early and get up late, which is conducive to the hidden yang and the accumulation of yin essence. Insufficient or too long sleep time will lead to listlessness and lethargy, which will affect normal metabolic function. Old people only need to go to bed earlier 1 ~ 2 hours and get up late 1 ~ 2 hours in winter than in other seasons.
