Go to bed early and get up late in winter, and it is best to get up after the sun comes out. Because going to bed early can maintain human yang and keep the body warm, while getting up late can nourish human yin. Do it at sunrise, get up and stop the cold, and ask for its warmth. Don't sleep with your head covered when it is warm. If the air in the bed is not circulating, there will be less and less oxygen. Over time, the air will become turbid. When people sleep in such an environment, they will feel chest tightness, nausea, or wake up from sleep with a cold sweat and feel tired the next day.

1, warm head: When the head is cold, the blood vessels will contract and the muscles of the head will be tense, which may easily cause headaches, colds and even gastrointestinal discomfort.

2, warm back: cold stimulation can affect local muscles or introduce internal organs through back acupuncture points, which is harmful to health. Cold in the back not only causes backache, but also affects the muscles, joints and internal organs of the upper and lower limbs through the cervical vertebrae and lumbar vertebrae, causing various discomforts.

3. Keep your feet warm: once your feet catch cold, reflexivity will cause capillary contraction of upper respiratory mucosa, cilia swing will slow down, and your resistance will decrease. The consequence is that viruses and bacteria take advantage of it and multiply in large numbers, which makes people catch a cold.

Three methods of nutrition in winter

1, hot water soaking feet: soaking feet with hot water at 55-70 degrees Celsius before going to bed can not only relieve fatigue, but also help sleep. There are many acupoints on people's feet, which can relax tendons and activate collaterals, accelerate blood circulation, and play a role in preventing and treating diseases, especially for patients with chilblain and varicose veins of feet.

2. Wash your face with cold water: In winter, due to the stimulation of low temperature, the facial skin shrinks. Wash your face with hot water, then you will feel warm. Once the heat is lost, the capillaries will return to their original state, which is easy to wrinkle the facial skin. When I washed my face with cold water in the morning, I suddenly felt my eyes clear. The stimulation of cold water can not only improve facial blood circulation, but also enhance skin elasticity. Its winter health care function also lies in: strengthening the body's ability to keep out the cold, preventing colds and rhinitis, and also benefiting neurasthenia patients with nervous headache. Of course, the temperature of cold water should not be too low, just slightly higher than 10 degrees Celsius.

3. Brush your teeth with warm water: Medical experts' investigation on tooth ecology shows that people's teeth can undergo normal metabolism at an oral temperature of 35-36.5 degrees Celsius. If teeth are often stimulated by sudden cold and heat, it will cause pulp bleeding, spasm and even periodontitis, gingivitis and other diseases over time. Therefore, gargling with warm water of about 35 degrees Celsius is beneficial to the health of teeth, and it is also beneficial to remove food residues and bacteria from the crevices of teeth, so as to protect and clean teeth and reduce oral diseases.

As the saying goes, "If you don't hide essence in winter, you will get sick in spring." In winter, the human body's yang is hidden and the yin is attached, which is the stage of energy accumulation, and it is a good season for the weak.

Winter is a good season for people with weak constitution to take tonic, but the reasons for "weakness" are different, and the tonic time varies from person to person and from constitution to constitution. Winter tonic needs to be divided into men, women and children, and people need to go through different stages of development and physiological changes in their lives. There are different degrees of qi, blood, yin and yang in human viscera, and people of different ages have different living habits, study and work. Therefore, we should supplement the body according to these changes. Children's internal organs are delicate, easy to be weak and easy to be solid, and their diet is often uncontrolled, which damages the spleen and stomach. Its winter tonic should be based on strengthening the spleen and stomach, and it can be eaten with poria cocos, hawthorn, jujube and coix seed. Young students who stay up late to study often have insufficient rest and sleep, and their heart, spleen and kidney are deficient. Lotus seeds and Polygonum multiflorum Thunb can be used as winter tonic. Many middle-aged people are overburdened and do not pay attention to rest, leading to qi and blood failure. Therefore, winter tonic is mainly to replenish qi and blood, and you can eat longan, astragalus and angelica. Old people are weak and ill, so they must take supplements in winter. Eucommia ulmoides and Polygonum multiflorum can be used when the elderly are not sick. If you are sick, you must make up for it based on syndrome differentiation and treatment.

Don't be too aggressive in winter tonic.

Tonifying is to regulate various functions of the body and make it healthier, but if the tonic is too partial, it will be harmful and the body will be damaged again. For example, although it is yin deficiency, blindly nourishing yin in large doses without paying attention to moderation, and replenishing yin too much will inhibit Yang Qi, causing the human body to be cold and dignified, and yin will flourish and yang will decline. Therefore, the tonic should be moderate, and enough is enough.
