Therefore, in the slight cold season, eat some yam, strengthen the spleen and stomach, and lay a good foundation for tonic.

2. Sesame

Compendium of Materia Medica records: "Taking black sesame seeds for a hundred days can cure all diseases."

One year, the body is shiny and not hungry, two years, black and white, and three years, the teeth are thoroughly remoulded.

Winter is a period of high incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, especially for middle-aged and elderly people.

At this time, eat more sesame seeds, which are rich in potassium and vitamin E.

It can stabilize blood pressure, protect heart health, increase blood vessel elasticity and prevent cardiovascular diseases.

1, Huanghuamiaoye black tea

Nine winters, plus a tonic season, is the biggest test for the stomach.

Huanghuamiao can promote the movement of the stomach, and can clear away heat and moisten the stomach, diminish inflammation and relieve pain for various types of epigastric pain.

Modern pharmacological research shows that it has broad-spectrum antibacterial and bactericidal effects and is a good anti-inflammatory drug, especially gastritis, which has a good improvement effect.

However, it is worth noting that the yellow-flowered seedlings are cold and it is recommended to drink a lot. After fermentation, the coldness is reduced, which is suitable for nourishing the stomach in winter and preventing stomach diseases.

2. Golden wheat beard tea

The main "hiding" in winter corresponds to the kidney in the human body.

Therefore, it is said that "winter is the best time to tonify the kidney", and at this time, make a cup of golden wheat beard tea.

Golden wheat beard, also known as corn beard, has the functions of diuresis, detumescence and metabolism promotion.

It can eliminate toxins in the kidney and reduce the burden on the kidney, which is a good choice for nourishing the kidney.

1, protect your head.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "blood congeals when it meets cold", so it is more important to pay attention to entering the coldest stage of the year in the mild cold season.

The head is the nerve center of the human body, which is also called "the meeting of all yang" in Chinese medicine.

Protecting the head in winter can not only protect the yang, but also effectively prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Remember to wear a hat and scarf when you go out, wash your hair with warm water and blow dry your hair before you go out.

Step 2 protect your feet

Cold is yin evil, which is easy to hurt kidney yang and endanger health.

People often say that "cold starts with the feet", and the warmth of the feet can resist the invasion of cold.

The kidney meridian comes from the sole of the foot, and doing a good job in the foot is also the best care for the kidney.

When you go out, keep your feet warm and try to soak them at night.

Touch your ankle with foot bath water at about 38℃-40℃ until your body perspires slightly, and the time is controlled at 20-30 minutes.

When soaking feet, add some Jiang Shui or cinnamon water at the same time.

After soaking your feet, you can massage your feet properly to promote blood circulation and metabolism and help you sleep.

First, ensure sleep time.

In winter, the nights are long and the days are short, so many people can't master the sleep time well.

Huangdi Neijing records that "work at sunrise and rest at sunset", and conforming to nature is the key to health.

Staying up late for a long time, the body's immunity declines, and the burden on various tissues and organs is great.

In the slight cold season, we should "go to bed early and get up late" to ensure enough sleep time, and don't get up too early to damage the yang.

In winter, the days are short and the nights are long. When sleeping, avoid catching cold and get sick less.

Second, control your emotions.

Winter is a depressing season, and many people are easily influenced by nature. Coupled with many things at the end of the year, it is inevitable that things will not go well.

However, it must be controlled reasonably. As the saying goes, "all diseases are caused by qi."

On the one hand, when people are angry, blood stasis blocks, lung qi does not rise, liver is uncomfortable, physical fitness will deteriorate, and diseases will take advantage of it.

On the other hand, the outdoor temperature difference is large, blood pressure fluctuates greatly, and blood vessels are prone to abnormal contraction, such as accelerating arteriosclerosis in emotional diseases, which is not good for blood vessel health.

Third, reasonable exercise.

It's cold outside and people are too lazy to exercise.

Without exercise, qi and blood will be blocked and the body's metabolism will slow down. The so-called "life lies in sports".

You can do some relaxing exercises in winter, such as brisk walking, jogging and Tai Chi.

It is worth noting that going out to exercise should not be too early or too late, and the temperature is too low, which is not conducive to health.

It is best to exercise in a sunny place half an hour after a meal, which is helpful to raise yang.

Fourth, touch less cold food.

There is heating in the north, and the air in the room is relatively dry.

Many people drink cold water, and some even "keep out the cold with cold", eat ice cream and drink cold drinks.

Cold food will cause great stimulation to the human stomach, causing stomach pain, stomach acid and so on.

Protect the stomach in winter, stay away from cold food and reduce the intake of seafood and melons.
