The so-called golden mean is to be just right. Not too much, not too late. If you are too cautious, it will lead to the loss of aftercare and you will be at a loss. Doing a little work is afraid of wasting gas and hurting the spirit. If you have a little difference between cold and heat, you will stay indoors. When eating, I am afraid of being fat, sweet and tired, so I go on a diet and eat less. Too much restraint in this state is not only harmful to the body, but also impossible to "spend the rest of your life safely."
2. Don't be biased.
Comprehensive aftercare should be moderate. Some people regard "tonic" as nutrition, so diet emphasizes nutrition and food must be supplemented; Daily life emphasizes comfort and rest; In addition, it is supplemented by nourishing drugs. Although food supplement, medicine supplement and rest all belong to the category of health preservation, excessive use will affect health. Just like some people eat too much, they will be overnourished, and if they eat too much, they will be restless and restless. If they eat too much medicine, they will rise and fall of yin and yang, which will make the body's metabolism unbalanced and counterproductive.
3. Keep warm and protect the sun.
Winter belongs to yin, so the essence of yin should be protected, and less body fluid should be discharged. Therefore, it is necessary to "dispel the cold and warm it" in winter to prevent the cold from invading. But don't warm up suddenly and violently, especially avoid thick clothes and fur, fire, roast your abdomen and back, and suddenly warm up and sweat.
Heavy snow solar terms are characterized by dryness and low air humidity. In addition, clothes should increase with the decrease of temperature, keep warm and close to the skin, and don't make the skin sweat to protect the yang from infringement. At night, the temperature will be lower. When you lie down at night, you should add more clothes and quilts to keep your limbs warm and your blood flowing smoothly, which can avoid many diseases, such as colds, bronchitis, bronchial asthma and cerebral thrombosis.
4. Early to bed and early to rise.
It's sunny in winter, especially at night, so "go to bed early and get up late". Go to bed early to nourish yang, and get up late to solidify yin essence.
Everything is hidden in the snow season, and health care should also conform to the laws of nature and work hard on the word "hidden". It is advisable to go to bed early and get up early in daily life, especially in the south. The temperature difference between morning and evening is large, so the elderly should be careful about their lives and exercise properly to enhance their adaptability to climate change.
5. Keep your head and feet warm every day.
Although the heavy snow is not cold at present, we should pay attention to keeping our heads and feet warm every day. Because the head is the meeting place of the sun, and the cold starts from the feet, these two parts can keep warm, so that the body can really warm up and get sick less. "The most important thing to keep warm is the head. Studies have found that when the temperature is 4℃, about 60% of the body's heat will be lost from the head. The lower the temperature, the greater the heat lost from the head. " Wearing a hat when going out now is especially important for patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
6. Improve your mood and eat more bananas and oats.
There are many foggy days this winter, which may make people feel gloomy. Yan Lu warned that you can eat more "happy food" to improve your mood. She recommends cereals such as bananas and oats. Pantothenic acid and other ingredients contained in bananas are "happy hormones" of the human body, which can relieve psychological stress and relieve tension and depression; Oats and other cereals are rich in carbohydrates and B vitamins, which can maintain the stability of the nervous system, increase energy metabolism and help fight stress and depression.
