Method 1. Get enough sleep and nourish yang.

Chinese medicine mentioned that Yang Can promoted the operation of five internal organs, which was the source of human warmth. When the yang is insufficient, it is easy to be mentally exhausted and afraid of the cold. Adequate sleep can supplement the deficiency of yang. Adequate sleep and rest will give your body enough physical strength to resist the cold and pressure from outside. Especially in winter, you should go to bed early and get up late, sleep at night 10, and get up after the sun comes out, so as to avoid catching a cold in the morning and reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke caused by rapid contraction of blood vessels caused by excessive temperature difference in patients with chronic diseases. Try not to stay up late.

Method two. Warm food is essential.

Food is also the fastest way to keep your body warm, especially hot food. For example, hot milk with high content in protein, brown sugar ginger tea with warming effect, or western rosemary tea and cinnamon tea are all good heating sources.

Method three. Relieve stress and feel comfortable.

Stress consumes people's physique and reduces their ability to keep out the cold. Modern people have insufficient sleep time, little exercise and irregular working hours. In this tense situation, blood vessels are constantly contracting and blood circulation is getting worse and worse. Therefore, health experts suggest that it is best to relax yourself consciously and relieve stress, such as gathering with friends, listening to music and learning to relax.

Method four. Regular exercise has a good effect.

Exercise is the best way to improve your cold resistance. Continuous regular exercise habits can improve the physique of those who are afraid of the cold. Exercise can stimulate muscles, speed up blood circulation and enhance immunity. However, winter exercise should not be too intense. Generally, when the body is slightly sweaty, playing Tai Ji Chuan at home, doing soft activities and practicing knife skills (swinging back and forth easily and naturally) can speed up blood circulation.

Method five. Warm foot bath is good for sleeping.

Feet are the farthest place from the heart, and their ability to keep warm is poor. It is common to get cold feet. In particular, many acupoints on the feet are related to the mucosa of the upper respiratory tract. When the feet catch cold, the resistance drops, which is easy to cause upper respiratory tract infection. Foot bath and massage before going to bed can draw air downward, make feet warm immediately, and help sleep.

The above five methods of dispelling cold and keeping warm are easy to do in people's daily life and easy to be ignored. Therefore, Phoenix Chinese Medicine reminds people that if they want to keep warm in winter, they must develop good working hours and living habits, strengthen exercise and eat reasonably.
