Great cold is the last solar term in a year, and from the perspective of five movements and six qi, it is the beginning of "luck" and "qi" in a new year. From severe cold to spring, it is divided into early qi. In 2020, the cold water of the sun has become 202 1 gas. 202 1 is the year of the ugly ox, the water is not as good as the old year, the toast is too wet and the sun is cold, and the water is in spring. When severe cold occurs at the beginning of qi, the main qi faints, and the evil wind is polite. Two trees are in harmony, water is not as good as wood, and the wind and wood are moving wildly, and everything is proud of it. Qi is comfortable, but rheumatism is fighting, and it is easy to get sick and bleed, muscles and bones are cramped, joints are unfavorable, and the body is heavy and weak. Therefore, the health of a bad cold should be adjusted according to the above characteristics.
1, regulate yin and yang, dredge qi.
Great cold is the transition period from winter to spring, and the natural qi is about to change from "winter storage" to "spring life". At this time, yang rises and yin grows, and the atmosphere is popular. It is necessary to balance yin and yang and coordinate the five internal organs. Diet and exercise should be adjusted accordingly. First of all, we should follow the principle of nourishing yin and suppressing yang in diet, reducing salt and increasing bitterness and nourishing the heart, such as lettuce leaves, lettuce, bitter buckwheat and chocolate. It can also tonify the kidney and strengthen the kidney. Secondly, we should reduce the amount of tonic, gradually light, mainly warm food and green vegetables. Warm food should be roots, such as taro, yam, potato, sweet potato and so on. Green vegetables should be white radish, cabbage, rape and so on. But avoid eating it cold. In addition, a small amount of scattered things, such as perilla leaves, ginger, pepper, cinnamon and so on. Or products that can eliminate stagnation, such as hawthorn and grapefruit peel, should be eaten properly to dredge qi, but hot and dry things should not be overeating.
In addition, to regulate yin and yang, it is necessary to appropriately increase the amount of exercise to keep out the cold, but it should be noted that exercise should not be strenuous sweating, and the exercise time should be at sunrise or after dawn; It is still necessary to "dispel the cold and warm it" to prevent the cold from invading; Don't warm up suddenly, especially avoid heavy clothes and fur, get drunk, get cold and hot, and sweat when the wind blows.

Every time 18 times.
3, negative yin and yang, ning's waist protection
Laozi said: "Everything is negative and holds Yang, and it is harmonious to rush." This sentence not only reveals the essence of life, but also covers the root of keeping in good health in the cold. Great cold should be extremely cold, because the sun was born underground, so it is not the coldest time. In the same way, to keep healthy because of a bad cold, we should also nourish yang with yin. Therefore, people who are good at keeping in good health will realize the essence of life from yin and yang and cultivate their mind through exercise. If you can understand this truth, you can be an "ambitious" person by holding yin while holding yang, or erecting stakes, or Tai Chi, or gossiping.
The great cold is really the time to raise your ambition and ambition. The qi of kidney is ambition, and nourishing ambition must first nourish essence. It is difficult for people with kidney deficiency to have great ambitions. In the cold, you should "hide your will", hide your mind in your heart, hide your mind in your heart, and be quiet and full of energy. Therefore, the tighter you hold the sun be the spirit in the cold, the healthier your body will be and the more powerful your life in spring will be.
In addition, the ancient people's health secret about the twenty-four solar terms is that the twenty-four solar terms correspond to twenty-four vertebrae, starting from the winter solstice corresponding to the fifth lumbar vertebra and corresponding to the cold of the third lumbar vertebra from bottom to top. According to everyone's physique and the characteristics of a bad cold, moxibustion, massage or acupoint application can be performed on the third lumbar vertebra.
In a word, the reason why Great Cold "embraces Yang" and "bears Yin" also tells us that only those who can accept the heat of beautiful Yang and bear the temper of negative Yin can be called ambitious people. In the "great cold", endure the cold and welcome the spring of life as soon as possible!
