You can choose lily duck, turtle radish and Chinese cabbage for heat constitution.

Fifth, do a good job of keeping warm

When the head is easily stimulated by cold, the blood vessels contract and the muscles in the head are tense, which is easy to cause colds and headaches. In addition, when the back is stimulated by cold, it will enter the internal organs through the back acupuncture points, which will not only cause backache, but also hurt the joints and muscles of the upper and lower limbs. When the feet are cold, it will cause the capillaries of the upper respiratory mucosa to contract, which will slow down the swinging speed of the hair, lead to the decline of resistance and easily induce a cold. So keep your head, back and feet warm.

Six, regular ventilation, breathing fresh air.

Although there is a lot of smog in the air, the daily ventilation time should not be less than 1 hour. Because it is too cold in winter, the doors and windows at home are often closed, but this may make the indoor air dirty. It is suggested that when the weather is good, you should always ventilate, so that the dirty indoor air is good for your health and you can breathe fresh air indoors.
