After the slight cold, it was the coldest for three or nine days. At this time, people who are weak and often have cold hands and feet are the most uncomfortable. At this time, they need to take good care of their bodies in order to spend the cold winter safely.
Although the great cold is coming tomorrow, it still means that it is as cold as the slight cold, so you can't relax at any time between the two solar terms. So in this extremely cold weather, what exactly do you need to do to keep fit?
The first sentence: keep warm and protect your head and feet.
After the slight cold, the temperature plummeted. If you don't add clothes in time, you will easily catch a cold. If the cold enters the body, it will damage the yang in the body and make the old disease easy to recur. So put on more clothes. As the second heart of the human body, the foot is far away from the heart and is more susceptible to cold. Once caught cold, it will easily lead to diarrhea, affect gastrointestinal health, lead to low back pain and irregular menstruation. When the cold comes from the feet, the body will not feel warm. Therefore, it is very important to keep feet warm.
Wear thick socks when going out and don't show your ankles. You can soak your feet with hot water before going to bed, which is also the most suitable way to keep fit in these two solar terms. Soaking feet at night is good for promoting blood circulation and sleep.
In winter, the cold wind blows hard, and the head is most vulnerable to cold evil. A cold head can lead to dizziness, headache and insomnia. So you'd better wear a hat to keep out the cold when you go out.
The second sentence: appropriate tonic
Mild cold diet focuses on warming and protecting kidney, which will make you sick young. In winter, yin flourishes and yang declines, and the cold invades, so it is most vulnerable to kidney-yang qi. Therefore, it is very important to strengthen yang and nourish kidney. It is very important to pay attention not to eat cold food or too hot food in diet. You can eat yam, lotus seeds, jujube, longan, lily, walnut, black fungus and other foods properly. Duck and mutton are the best meat, and seasonal fruits are edible.
The third sentence: save your strength.
Winter health needs to be "hidden", and it is very important to raise the spirit. A good sleep can collect yang, and a good nap in the middle of the day is beneficial to health care.
Sub-sleep refers to the time from 1 1 in the evening to 1 in the morning. You should lie still and sleep. At this time, the yin and yang of the human body hand over and the yang begins to grow. At this time, falling asleep can ensure that the metabolic function of the body reaches the best state.
A nap is between 1 1 in the morning and 1 in the afternoon. At this time, yang is the most abundant in a day, and yin is slowly rising. Therefore, taking a nap at this time can supplement the sun's spirit consumed in the morning, which is very beneficial to relieve fatigue and deal with afternoon work energetically.
The fourth sentence: Get more sunshine.
Sunbathing in winter is better than drinking tonic soup. When the weather is clear and sunny, it is best to go outdoors, get more sunshine, take a walk and take a deep breath for half an hour to an hour at a time, which is good for your health and can also adjust your mood.
The fifth sentence: Proper exercise is essential.
When the weather is cold, people are afraid of the cold and don't like sports. They just want to lie comfortably in the quilt. In fact, it is also possible to exercise properly in mild and cold weather. But the time of exercise is particular. It is best to exercise when the sun is strong and the temperature is high, such as 9: 00 am to 10 and 3: 00 pm to 4: 00 pm when the sun comes out. You can choose walking, jogging, brisk walking, yoga and so on. Don't do too strenuous exercise, lest you lose your yang.
