First of all, diet is nursed back to health. In winter, the yang of the human body is suppressed, mainly concentrated in the five internal organs. At this time, the digestive function of the gastrointestinal tract is greatly enhanced, and we can supplement it accordingly. There are two ways of tonic: food tonic and medicine tonic, but it is necessary to combine one's own physique, distinguish quality and supplement, and pay attention to individual differences. For people with yang deficiency, you can eat shrimp balls, dog meat, beef and mutton, etc. People with yin deficiency can eat rabbit meat, turtle meat, turtle meat, lily, tremella, honey and so on. Qi deficiency can be eaten as yam, japonica rice, lentils and red dates. ; People with blood deficiency can eat more black sesame seeds, black-bone chicken, red dates, black beans, lychee, black fungus, spinach, turtles, carrots and so on. If you want medicine, people with qi deficiency can take ginseng, astragalus, ganoderma lucidum, pseudostellaria, etc. People with deficiency of both qi and blood can take the paste made of Radix Rehmanniae Preparata, Radix Polygoni Multiflori Preparata, Semen Sesami Niger and Colla Corii Asini, or take Wuji Baifeng Pill, Ginseng Jianpi Pill, Shiquan Dabu Pill, etc. People with kidney yin deficiency can take Liuwei Dihuang Pill and Zuogui Pill. People with kidney-yang deficiency can take Jinkui Shenqi Pill, Gui You Pill, velvet antler wine or yellow wine to dissolve antler glue for oral administration.
Secondly, we should pay attention to daily life and aftercare. It is a principle followed by the ancients to work at sunrise and rest at sunset, but we can't force it. In winter, we should try to go to bed early and get up late to ensure enough sleep time, so as to fully supplement the Yin Qi of the human body and reserve enough life energy for the coming year. Generally, the normal sleep time is 10 from the afternoon to 6 am, and the best sleep time is 10 from the afternoon to 3 am. At the same time, reduce the time of outdoor activities appropriately, wear a coat with good thermal performance, and have necessary masks, hats, scarves and gloves to keep warm.
Mental recuperation should keep the mind quiet, not selfish, return to nature and conform to nature.
Winter exercise should pay attention to step by step, enough is enough, sweating slightly; Don't sweat too much, which will damage the yang. Adapt to your health and illness. The basic method is aerobic exercise, the best time is 8: 00 to 9: 00 pm, and the intensity is slight sweating, shortness of breath and muscle aches. Keep the heart rate at 120 beats per minute. You can choose swimming, brisk walking, jogging, playing Tai Ji Chuan, small ball games and other sports. Five times a week, 30-60 minutes each time.
