Diet-the way to keep fit in severe cold

Speaking of keeping in good health in the cold, the inevitable topic is diet. The great cold is the transition period from winter to spring, and the diet and daily life should be "transformed" accordingly. A healthy diet should be bitter in Xian Yi to nourish the heart, and hot in order to avoid damaging the yang of the spleen and stomach, but it is not advisable to eat more hot and dry things. Winter is the time when the kidney meridian is vigorous, while the kidney is salty and the heart is bitter. From the medical theory of five elements, salty is better than bitter, and kidney water is better than heart fire. If you eat too much salty taste, it will make the kidney water that is already too strong more vigorous, thus weakening the strength of the heart yang, so you should eat more bitter food to help the heart yang. Therefore, the principle of winter diet is to reduce salt and increase bitterness, resist kidney water and nourish the heart, so as to keep the intersection of heart and kidney and balance yin and yang. Great cold can be tonic, but you should pay attention to the right amount and don't overeat.

Early to bed and late to rise, combine work and rest. In the cold season, daily life should conform to the characteristics of winter seclusion. In order to avoid the attack of cold wind, we should go to bed early and get up late, combine work and rest, and add warm clothes according to our own situation when going out. If heating or air conditioning is often turned on indoors, it is best to use air humidifiers and other methods to improve the humidity in the air in addition to opening windows for ventilation.
