"Su Wen's Four or Seven Articles on Participating in the Great Congress" records: "This is a closed Tibet from the winter solstice to March. Water and ice are lying on the ground, so don't disturb the sun. Lying early and getting up late, you must wait for the sun, so that you can hide your ambition and have private benefits. If you have it, you will drive away the cold and warmth, not leak your skin, and make your breath take away. This winter air should be the way to raise Tibet; On the contrary, it hurts the kidney, and it is paralyzed in spring, and there are few living people. "
Therefore, it can be seen that the three months of winter in a year (that is, the three months from beginning of winter to beginning of spring in the following year) are the season when everything hides. In nature, because the cold is too strong, the river will condense into ice. When cold comes, the ground will freeze and crack. In daily life, people should try not to disturb the yang in the body, go to bed early at night, get up late in the morning, extend the sleep time appropriately, and get up when the sun rises. In regulating emotions, we should pay attention to keeping people's minds secret, quiet and self-sustaining, defending against the invasion of cold, and keeping clothes warm. Don't let your skin sweat, it will lead to sudden loss of yang. This is to conform to the natural characteristics of winter storage and adapt to the principle of winter health preservation. If this principle is violated, the kidney will be damaged, and there will be flaccidity syndrome or Jue syndrome in the next spring, and the body's ability to provide qi to adapt to the next spring will be reduced.
This is the principle of keeping in good health in winter put forward by Neijing.
1, the daily life rule of winter health preservation is "early to bed and late to get up, waiting for the sun". Warn people to appropriately increase sleep time, pay attention to protect the yang of the human body, absorb more sunlight, and enhance the yang (heat energy) in the human body.
2. Winter belongs to the season of yang decline and yin cold. Everything is full of vitality, and the human body should adapt to the characteristics of winter storage and hide the yang. Therefore, people should reduce strenuous exercise and increase clothes to help hide and protect the body's yang. This is the key to health in winter.
3. In the cold winter season, we should also pay attention not to make the skin sweat, leading to the dissipation of yang. Remind people to live in a warm room in winter, but not too warm, especially to avoid sweating, because sweating will hurt Tianjin and consume gas, making Yang Can float outside instead of hiding inside, which violates the principle of keeping in good health in winter. In winter in the north, many people catch a cold and often sweat because of overheated indoor heating.
4. If you violate the principle of keeping in good health in winter, you will get flaccidity syndrome (weakness of limbs, similar to muscle weakness) or Jue syndrome (cold limbs or fever of hands and feet) in the next spring, which will also affect the adaptability of the human body to spring. This is because the yang in the human body is not protected in time according to the laws of nature in winter, and the cold of nature passes through the kidney. Therefore, the cold in winter will damage the kidney yang, resulting in the yang in the human body not growing in time when the yang in nature grows in the next spring, thus leading to flaccidity syndrome or Jue syndrome. It can be seen that following the principle of keeping in good health in winter can effectively prevent flaccidity and syncope.
Therefore, in the cold winter, people should pay more attention to keep warm, reduce physical labor and avoid excessive sweating. In diet, we should eat more high-calorie foods to prevent cold evil. In the north, we eat hot pot in winter. The family sat together, eating steaming mutton hot pot, accompanied by some vegetables, mixed with different flavors of condiments, mixed with meat and vegetables, full of flavor. It's freezing outside the window, so comfortable!
