The coldest season of the year is coming.

It was cold on March 9, and it was just a slight cold.

There is also a saying that "a slight cold is better than a severe cold"

Chinese medicine believes that

Slight cold is the most prosperous period of yin and evil.

Therefore, we should guard against cold evil entering the body.

Get through this cold weather

Store energy for spring health.

So what should we pay attention to in life?

Doing so will make you feel a slight chill.

Cold and warm

Don't catch cold in these four parts.

The first thing to pay attention to is to "hide" good yang to prevent colds. Keeping warm is not as simple as wearing thick clothes. These four parts must not catch cold.

1 Keep your head and neck warm.

Cold in the head and neck can easily induce colds, headaches and even cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Suggestion: turtleneck clothes, scarves, hats, etc. It can protect the head and neck. Even wearing a thin hat outdoors in winter will help keep out the cold.

Keep your back warm.

The best way to keep your back warm is to bask in the sun with your back to the sun, which can strengthen the yang of the human body and make the whole body coordinate smoothly.

The abdomen should be warm.

To keep your abdomen warm, you should not only wear it at ordinary times, but also massage your abdomen with your hands to improve your ability to drive away the cold.

Four feet should be warm.

Feet are farthest from the heart, with little blood supply, and cold can easily invade from the soles of feet. Therefore, in addition to wearing warm shoes, it is best to soak your feet with hot water before going to bed, and then rub your feet hard to promote blood circulation.

1. Rub your feet

It can not only tonify the kidney and soothe the nerves, but also has a good effect on preventing insomnia.
