Cold air accumulates in muscles. After a long time, you will feel stiff muscles, backache, scapulohumeral periarthritis and arthritis. When the cold accumulates to a certain extent, people will invade the meridians, causing qi stagnation and blood stasis, affecting the operation of qi and blood. This is what Chinese medicine calls deficiency, which can induce many incurable diseases.
Since the harm of cold is so great, it is necessary to establish a correct concept of health preservation in the cold winter to minimize colds:
1. Does not disturb yang, and enhances skin adaptability.
The so-called not disturbing Yang Qi means not dispersing essence, but protecting yang and benefiting qi. The cold in winter is very heavy, which is particularly harmful to people. Go to bed early so that the hidden yang will not be disturbed. Fatigue will dissipate the yang, so we should strengthen exercise in autumn, because cooling in autumn will "freeze" the skin function. With the gradual increase of cooling in autumn, the skin's adaptability will also adapt. Adding clothes in winter should not be done at one time, but gradually with the decrease of temperature, so that the skin can gradually adapt to the cold winter and improve the cold resistance of the body.
2. Enhance the lung's function of dispelling pathogenic wind and descending adverse flow, so as to resist the invasion of cold pathogen.
In winter, the temperature is low, the air conditioning is thick, and cold pathogens invade people, and the lungs bear the brunt. The lungs are bound by wind and cold, and cough and asthma will occur when the function of relieving depression occurs. Therefore, enhancing the function of relieving depression of lung can enhance the cold resistance of skin. Pay attention to the back, nose and feet to keep warm and keep out the cold, because these parts are the way for the lungs to catch cold. Usually, you can rub both sides of the nose to Yongquan, Fenglong and Shu Fei points on the back three times a day, which can dispel the cold.
3. Strengthen the spleen and nourish the stomach to improve the cold resistance.
In order to make the nutrients needed by the human body be continuously supplied, it is necessary to strengthen the spleen and stomach, enhance the digestion ability of the stomach and the transport ability of the spleen, so it is not advisable to eat cold food in cold winter, because cold food is not suitable for digestion and will damage the spleen and stomach.
Massage the abdomen clockwise for 20 times after meals 1 hour, which is helpful for digestion and absorption; Rub your stomach before going to bed.
It can strengthen the spleen and stomach, help digestion and have a sleeping effect.
