Health preservation in winter mainly includes five aspects: daily life, nourishing the heart, medicine, diet and tonic taboos.
First of all, I have a regular life.
In daily life, you should go to bed early and get up late, and then go out for activities when the sun comes out. At the same time, we should also wear more clothes to avoid unnecessary outdoor activities and prevent excessive consumption of yang.
"If you can arrange your daily life and rest reasonably in winter, you can maintain your spirit and maintain your kidney essence." Try to "walk without haste, listen, stare, sit short, lie tireless". A good sleep during the winter solstice is important for health. Besides sleeping at night, you can take a nap after lunch, but you should avoid catching cold when sleeping. Secondly, we should pay attention to the cold. Third, the winter solar terms should be basked in the sun during the day, which is conducive to the growth of yang.
It is not advisable to carry out high-intensity physical exercise during the winter solstice to avoid damaging the yang. You can choose Tai Ji Chuan, Baduanjin and other sports that combine static and dynamic.
Second, when you are strong, you will lose your mind.
The key to health preservation is to nourish the heart. First of all, we should cultivate a kind and generous heart, and be generous and worry-free inside. Keep healthy in winter, be calm and worry less, keep open and optimistic, don't worry about trifles, don't force fame and fortune, and suffer from loss; Avoid long-term "overload operation" and prevent overwork and break down from overwork.
Third, consolidate the innate foundation and protect the acquired qi.
It is the best time for the human body to recharge its batteries when the winter climate is getting colder and the sun is shining in the sky. At this stage, human beings should not only pay attention to health preservation in daily life, but also pay attention to winter tonic of diet and medicine.
Drug health care should be based on strengthening the foundation and strengthening the yuan to protect the acquired qi. The so-called "innate foundation" means that the kidney is the innate foundation and the root of life. Sufficient kidney-qi, strong metabolic ability of the body, and slow aging of people; The so-called "acquired qi" means that the spleen and stomach are acquired qi and the source of qi and blood biochemistry, and the nutrients needed for human life activities are supplied by the spleen and stomach. Therefore, this season's drug health care should focus on protecting spleen and kidney. The principle of medication should be followed: more tonic and less diarrhea; The medicine should be mild and the dosage should be small; Pay attention to spleen and kidney and give consideration to five internal organs; Classify and supplement, regulate yin and yang; Master the seasons and obey the laws; Use pill powder paste more, and use less water to decoct soup; Take medicine and eat at the same time, and guide according to the situation. Only in this way can we seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, prevent diseases and prolong life.
Fourth, be careful about diet adjustment.
As the saying goes, medicine is better than food. In winter, if you can choose delicious and healthy food properly, it will undoubtedly be accepted by everyone. Among the foods suitable for tonic in winter, traditional Chinese medicine is divided into several categories. It is freezing in cold weather, and warming food is the first choice. Such as chicken, mutton, beef and crucian carp. All the above are delicious and can be used as tonic in winter. However, eating too much warm food is easy to get angry. Tonifying and nourishing foods, such as lotus seeds, gordon euryales, coix seed, red beans, jujube, bird's nest, frog, tremella, pig liver, etc. It is neither cold nor hot nor greasy, which is harmful to the stomach. There is also a nourishing food, which has the effects of nourishing yin and tonifying kidney, replenishing essence and marrow. Mainly include: fungus, black dates, sesame seeds, black beans, pork loin, sea cucumber, nail fish, turtle, abalone and so on.
In winter, the diet should be adjusted according to different individuals, and the appropriate tonic food should be selected accordingly, so as to achieve the real health-preserving effect. From the perspective of Chinese medicine, people born at different times have different personalities, so their dietary requirements are different. According to the form of the five elements in ancient China, people can be divided into five elements, such as Jin Mu, fire, water and earth. Everyone has different constitutions and different food supplements.
Five, tonic taboo
Never eat dog meat blindly. Some people with weak constitution and arthritis are good at eating more dog meat in severe winter. But it is not advisable to eat dog meat blindly, so as not to get rabies after eating rabies meat. Do not drink tea after eating dog meat. This is because tannic acid in tea combines with protein in dog meat to produce a substance. This substance has a certain astringent effect, which can weaken intestinal peristalsis and reduce the moisture in the stool. Therefore, toxic substances and carcinogens in the stool will be easily absorbed by the human body because they stay in the intestine for too long.
Second, avoid the difference between reality and reality. The treatment principle of TCM is "tonifying deficiency". Deficiency is tonic, and deficiency is normal diet. At the same time, it is necessary to distinguish the performance and scope of application of supplements, and whether they are suitable for themselves. Experts believe that the main function of tonic is to "supplement deficiency and benefit loss". Deficiency is divided into four types: qi deficiency, blood deficiency, yin deficiency and yang deficiency, and each has its own tonic methods.
