Principle: "hiding" can nourish the heart.

Beginning of winter, the human body's metabolism is relatively slow, so beginning of winter should pay attention to "hiding", which means people should keep quiet at this time. Min Fanzhong suggested that if something goes wrong, you should learn to control bad emotions. You can vent your pent-up bad feelings in an appropriate way, but you should pay attention to keeping your mind as calm as possible.

More sunshine: After entering winter, it gets dark early and the light time is short, which is also a reason for people's depression. Because when night comes, the secretion of melatonin in the pineal gland of the human brain increases, which can affect people's mood, and light can inhibit the secretion of this hormone.

Moving-sports should also hide yang.

Principle: "nourishing yang"

Chinese medicine believes that "cold is yin evil, which often hurts Yang Qi". If the human body does not have Yang Qi, it will lose its metabolic vitality. Yang is particularly important for the elderly, so it is important to "nourish and hide" Yang in daily life in winter.

In addition, winter exercise is essential, and moderate exercise can enhance the body's ability to resist disease invasion. Ma Liping stressed that it is very important to warm up before exercise, because in cold winter, people's limbs will be stiff. Such as stretching limbs, jogging, light equipment, make the body sweat slightly, and then carry out high-intensity fitness exercise. Min Fanzhong believes that winter exercise is not like summer, and it is necessary to raise yang at this time.

Don't sweat too much: Min Fanzhong suggested that the yang in the human body will leak out during exercise until the sweat is drenched, so it is best not to sweat too much and exercise until you feel warm and hot. In addition, patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases should be prohibited from doing strenuous exercise, such as playing ball games and climbing mountains. Middle-aged and elderly people with respiratory diseases should avoid cold stimulation, avoid exercise in the morning and evening when it is sunny, so as not to induce disease onset, and the elderly should pay more attention to keeping warm when exercising outdoors.

Go to bed early and get up late, and get up after the sun rises: Min Fanzhong said: "People often say that going to bed early and getting up early is good for your health, but in fact, going to bed early and getting up late is more suitable for health care after beginning of winter." Go to bed early and get up late, people should go to bed early appropriately, and it is not easy to get up too early in the morning, especially for the elderly. If time permits, it is best to wait until the sun rises and the sun shines, so as to ensure adequate sleep, which is conducive to the hiding of yang and the accumulation of yin essence.

It is recommended to pay attention to clothes, too thick and too thin is not good, too few clothes are too thin, and the room temperature is too low, which is easy to catch a cold and consume yang; On the other hand, if the clothes are too thick and the room temperature is too high, it will cause diarrhea, the yang will not be hidden, and cold pathogens will easily invade.
