Cold dew does not expose the feet, protecting the yang from the cold and preventing invasion.
As the saying goes, "cold dew does not show your feet", because cold dew will get colder day by day, and people will even feel a little cold in the morning and evening. "Cold comes from your feet", so you must keep your lower body warm at this time, especially don't wear shoes barefoot, or you must wear socks to avoid the cold of the ground invading your body from your feet. In addition, Chinese medicine also believes that the lower half of the human body belongs to yin, and if it is not properly maintained, it is more vulnerable to the invasion of yin pathogens such as cold and dampness, which in turn leads to problems such as rheumatoid arthritis, edema and beriberi.
In particular, the three yin meridians of the liver, spleen and kidney run along the inner side of the lower body of the human body, which are closely related to the reproductive system of the human body, especially for female friends. Because women are "blood-oriented", it is beneficial to the circulation of qi and blood in the body only by keeping the body warm at any time. Therefore, when the climate obviously turns cold, or in an air-conditioned room, or during a special menstrual period and postpartum period, women must pay special attention to keeping their lower bodies warm, so as to avoid the cold invading from the soles of their feet and causing various gynecological diseases such as palace cold, dysmenorrhea, varicose veins and abnormal leucorrhea.
Old age leads to old age, and health care leads to old age.
Chinese medicine believes that "the foot is the root of essence". People's feet can directly touch the ground, absorb the gas of the earth, and provide stable life energy for the whole human body, just like the roots of trees. Therefore, "the roots of trees are exhausted first, and people's old feet are aging first". As long as many people start to age, their feet will have problems first.
For example, frequent cramps, stiff joint movements, pain, or varicose veins, and so on. Therefore, just like practicing kung fu, we must first learn to March, strengthen the foundation and strengthen the maintenance of our feet in health care. Here are some ways to maintain your feet:
1, always keep your lower limbs warm.
The foot is the farthest part from the heart, so the supply and circulation of qi and blood will be weak. Cold stimulation will make blood vessels contract, which will easily coagulate blood, thus affecting the operation of qi and blood. Therefore, even in the hot summer, as long as you stay in a low temperature environment or step on the cold floor, it is best to put on a pair of socks or loose and breathable shoes, which can not only prevent the cold from invading, but also protect the yang.
2. Reasonable and appropriate exercise.
Regular and reasonable exercise, such as walking, jogging, swimming, stretching, yoga, etc. It can promote the blood circulation of the lower body and strengthen the flexibility of local muscle joints, but if improper and excessive exercise is used, it will cause damage.
3. Wear suitable and comfortable shoes and pants.
Comfortable, breathable and loose shoes and trousers can help lower limbs exercise and promote blood circulation without causing abnormal oppression. In addition, shoes made of natural materials can make feet better absorb the earth's atmosphere and stabilize the foundation of the human body. Therefore, high-heeled shoes must be worn less, in addition to easily causing unbalanced stress on muscles and joints, leading to local soreness, as well as oppressing internal organs and affecting health.
4. Eat more diets that can maintain leg muscles and joints.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that papaya, coix seed, cruciferous vegetables, roots, nuts, beans, black sesame seeds, sardines and other foods, as well as some foods that modern nutrition believes are rich in calcium, collagen, vitamin D and vitamin K, are all conducive to the maintenance of muscle joints in both legs. In addition, proper sun exposure is also beneficial to the synthesis of vitamin D in the body and promotes the absorption of calcium.
5. Soak your feet properly to promote peripheral blood circulation.
Often soaking feet can promote blood circulation of lower limbs. In addition, there are many acupoints and meridians circulating in the foot. In addition, by soaking some traditional Chinese medicines that promote blood circulation and dredge collaterals, warm yang and eliminate dampness, you can also stimulate the meridians and acupoints on your feet through skin absorption, adjust the functions of the whole body's viscera, and then prevent and treat diseases. But there is a trick to soaking feet. Usually, the elderly, children with weak constitution or patients with hypertension should not soak their feet for too long. Generally, the whole body is slightly hot and the skin is slightly sweaty. Don't soak in sweat, it will hurt your body excessively. In addition, the water temperature should not be too high. It is best to maintain a "hot but not hot" temperature, and it is not advisable to soak your feet when you are too full or hungry, so as not to affect digestion or cause dizziness.

Autumn and winter are the seasons when everything returns to its origin. The leaves on the tree gradually wither and become fertilizer to nourish the land. Animals and insects also began to store food, ready to go into hibernation and rest. At this time, we can pay more attention to ourselves, especially take good care of our feet. In addition to relaxing our daily thinking, we can also make the qi and blood rushing to the head circulate to the lower limbs better, helping us to take every step in the future firmly and steadily.
