Therefore, in order to make the elderly less afraid of the cold, it is necessary to activate and supplement the body's yang.
Chinese medicine believes that the spleen and stomach are the foundation of the day after tomorrow. Qi and blood of the body, including Yang Qi, depend on the spleen and stomach, and are obtained and transformed from diet. Therefore, only when the spleen and stomach function is good can the body be supplemented by yang. The spleen and stomach are not good, and if you eat more foods and drugs that warm and tonify the yang, you will not be absorbed and utilized, and naturally you will not be able to supplement the yang!
Therefore, strengthening the spleen and nourishing the stomach is the most important step to supplement the human yang.
How to strengthen the spleen and nourish the stomach? You can eat pumpkin, millet, yam, beef and so on. These ingredients have a good effect of strengthening the spleen and nourishing the stomach, and they are mild in nature and have a certain warming effect.
In the daily food, there are also many foods that can warm the body's yang, such as mutton, shrimp, eel, leek, etc., as well as cinnamon, fennel, clove and ginger in the seasoning.
These ingredients can be eaten together to achieve a better effect of warming and nourishing yang.
For example, mutton can be stewed with ginger, fennel, cinnamon and cloves. After the mutton is stewed, it only needs a little seasoning, so you can eat meat with soup.
Pay attention to scalding mutton. If you eat too much at a time, it may cause the problem of getting angry, so it is best to eat in moderation every time.
Moreover, it is best to choose lean meat, reduce fat, and avoid eating too much sheep oil, which has an adverse effect on body blood lipids.
For the elderly, winter exercise should be done at a good time, not in the morning or evening before the sun comes out, but at 10 or around 2 pm. At this time, the weather temperature rises and the sun is shining, which is more suitable for outdoor sports. If it is too early or too late, and the weather is cold, it may lead to inflexible limb movements, or the ground is frozen and slippery, or the road surface is unclear, which may easily lead to falls and injuries.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that regular exercise contributes to the rise of yang, activates yang, and makes yang circulate more smoothly in the body.
Chinese medicine believes that the head is located at the top of the human body and belongs to the "meeting of all yang". Comb your hair more, which is beneficial to dredge the brain meridians, make the circulation of yang meridian and blood in the head smoother, and thus contribute to the rise of yang.
You can comb your hair properly after getting up every morning and before going to bed at night. In addition to combing your hair with a comb, you can also open your palm and massage your head with the power of your fingers.
It should also be noted that when the cold wave comes and the snow is mixed, it is best for the elderly not to go out. Even if you go out on a sunny day, you should do a good job of preventing cold and keeping warm, wear warm gloves and choose clothes with good warmth. These are especially critical. If we can do this well, we can make them no longer affected by cold factors in winter.
