"Keeping Tibet" is the main theme of daily life in winter. Recently, the temperature drop has further increased. At this time, the most important thing is to "warm up when it is cold" to prevent the cold from invading. There are two most important places to keep warm, one is the head and the other is the feet. Smooth qi and blood can avoid many diseases.

The blood vessels in the head are dense, the oxygen consumption is high, and heat is also emitted. It has been found that when the temperature is 15 in a quiet state without a hat, the heat lost from the head accounts for 30% of the total body heat. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the head is the meeting point of all yang, and most of the human meridians gather in the head, which is the key part of keeping warm. Especially for patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, it is more important to keep the head warm, which has a positive effect on preventing stroke.

As the saying goes, the cold starts from the feet, because the feet touch the ground, which is farthest from the heart, and the heat arrives slowly. Moreover, the feet are located in the lowest position of the human body, where yin and qi gather and are easy to catch cold. Some people's arthritis also began to recur, showing symptoms of fear of cold, wind and even tingling.

So, how to keep your head cold and your feet warm in winter? Health care can be carried out in the following aspects.

You should wear a hat when you go out.

Because the weather in winter is often accompanied by wind and often attacked by cold current, if you only pay attention to wearing warm clothes and don't pay attention to wearing a hat when you go out, not only the heat will radiate from your head, but also the temperature inside the house will be higher than that outside, which is easy to catch a cold. So wear a hat when you go out, especially those who do morning exercises.

Wash your face with cold water in the morning.

Wash your face with a towel dipped in cold water in the morning, which will help improve your cold tolerance, but not for too long. It should be noted that patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases should try to avoid sudden contact with cold water.

Keep your shoes and socks warm and dry in winter; After sitting for 2~3 hours, you can get up and walk for 10 minutes to promote blood circulation in your feet. In addition, after soaking your feet with hot water before going to bed, massaging your feet with your palm for about 10 minutes can also play a health care role.
