Huangdi Neijing wrote: In winter and March, this is called closing Tibet. Water and ice are stable and there is no disturbance to the sun. If you go to bed early and get up late, you must wait for the sun, so your ambition will be hidden, if you have personal intentions, if you have. When the cold dissipates, it will heat up without leaking skin, so the gas will be taken away. This winter air should be the way to keep Tibet. In turn, it hurts the kidney, and it is flaccid and soft in spring, and there are fewer people born.

Storage in winter. "Winter is the end", which means the end. After the harvest in spring, summer and autumn, winter is the time to accumulate energy and raise Tibet, and it is not until the next spring that we have the strength to germinate and harvest.

Three months in winter is the period when the kidneys play a leading role. This period is characterized by yang deficiency and yin excess, so it nourishes yin.

Want to store energy in winter?

Doing the following four points is the way to keep in good health.

Yam is a seasonal food in winter, and it is the most collectible force originated in China.

The efficacy of yam: benefiting kidney qi, strengthening spleen and stomach, resolving phlegm and promoting fluid production, and moistening skin. Fresh yam can be eaten directly by steaming, or cooked in porridge, soup and cakes.

Winter dominates cold, the weather is cold, and cold evil is everywhere. When it is cold, it will condense, which will damage the yang of the human body and hinder the operation of qi and blood, so pay attention to keep warm.

Warm head: when the head is cold, the blood vessels will contract and the muscles in the head will be tense, which is easy to cause headaches and colds;

Warm back: cold stimulation can affect local muscles or spread to internal organs through back acupoints, which is harmful to health;

Warm feet: once the feet are cold, it can reflexively cause vasoconstriction of upper respiratory mucosa, leading to decreased resistance.

Winter belongs to water, corresponding to our kidneys, and kidney qi is closed in winter. Because salt enters the kidney, it will make the kidney qi active, which is not conducive to sealing, so that there is no original motivation to generate yang in spring.

The reason for suffering is that skin pores are closed in winter, clothes are thick, and heat dissipation channels are basically closed. But in winter, in order to keep out the cold, the food is warm, which is easy to cause excessive internal heat. Moreover, bitter food has the function of clearing fire, so it is necessary to eat bitter food to reduce fire.

Winter is the time to store sperm, with short days and long nights. To ensure adequate sleep, go to bed early and get up early, enhance physical fitness and improve immunity.
