In winter, in order to resist the cold, people begin to take supplements, but supplements also vary from time to time. Winter belongs to water, so does the human kidney. The kidney is fragile in winter, so it is advisable to tonify the kidney in winter. Among the five flavors, salt enters the kidney, and sweetness is the kidney. If you can understand this theory, you can have some choices when you take supplements in winter.
Winter tonic includes food tonic and medicine tonic. The method of food supplement varies from place to place. Generally, people with yang deficiency can choose mutton, chicken and dog meat. People with deficiency of both qi and blood can use goose, duck and black-bone chicken. For people who can't adapt to cold and heat, you can choose medlar, red dates, walnuts, black sesame seeds, fungus and so on.
Medication must follow the doctor's advice, one person and one method, and the whole family can't take care of the actual situation. Tonifying in winter, in order to make the stomach have an adaptation process, it is best to make up in advance, which means laying the foundation. Generally speaking, you can choose to stew beef and red dates, peanuts and brown sugar first, or cook some ginger and red dates beef soup to adjust the function of the spleen and stomach.
Second, "point" sweat
Winter is cloudy, so keeping in good health should be based on protecting yin essence and less draining body fluid. Therefore, it is necessary to "dispel the cold and warm up" in winter to prevent the cold from invading. But don't suddenly warm up, especially if you don't wear thick clothes and thick fur, get drunk and bake your abdomen and back, and suddenly warm up and sweat. This kind of "warmth" is achieved, but too much "warmth" is easy to cause diseases. Exercise muscles properly, sweat and keep fit in winter.
In particular, modern people bathe frequently in winter, which does not conform to the principle of keeping in good health in Tibet. Forced by water and heat, sweating profusely, easily catching a cold and getting sick. It is more appropriate to take a bath once a week in winter in the north and once every three days in winter in the south. As for sports, we should combine static and dynamic. Running and doing exercises should only be slightly like sweating, which is not encouraged, which is the opposite of hiding in winter.
Third, drink "point" porridge
Eat more hot porridge in winter. Eating this kind of porridge often has the effect of increasing calories and nutrition. Drink hot porridge in the morning, go on a diet at dinner and nourish your stomach. Especially glutinous rice and red date porridge, eight-treasure porridge and millet porridge are the most suitable. In addition, you can often eat longan porridge, sesame porridge, radish porridge, Poria porridge, jujube porridge, chrysanthemum porridge, crucian porridge and so on.
Fourth, adjust the "god point"
Winter is cold, which makes people depressed. The best way to change depression is exercise. Of course, it varies from person to person. According to their own health, choose jogging, dancing, skating, ball games and other sports activities with different intensities. These are all good medicines to eliminate winter boredom and recuperate the spirit.
Step 5 go to bed early
In winter, the sun is very cold, especially at night. The ancients advocated that people should go to bed early and get up late. Sun Simiao, a medical scientist in the Tang Dynasty, said: "It is inappropriate to go out early in the morning and come back late at night in winter, which offended Han Wei." Go to bed early to nourish yang, and get up late to solidify yin essence. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure adequate sleep in winter health preservation, which is conducive to the accumulation of yang and yin and body fluid; Remember to "raise Tibet" in beginning of winter's aftercare. Pay attention to keep warm, get more sunshine, pay attention to cold protection when going out, and reduce the stimulation of cold air to the body.
Sixth, spread the "point" wind
It is cold in winter, and some people like to close the doors and windows or sleep with their heads covered. This is a very bad habit. Because indoor air pollution in winter is dozens of times more serious than outdoor air pollution, people should pay attention to opening doors and windows frequently for ventilation to purify the air, strengthen the brain and refresh themselves. In addition to opening doors and windows to allow air convection during the day, we should also open small transoms for ventilation at night.
Seven, protect the "point" foot.
Foot health in winter is fitness. People must always keep their feet clean and dry, wash their socks frequently, and wash their feet with warm water every day. If possible, it is best to massage and stimulate the acupoints of both feet at the same time. Walk for more than half an hour every day to exercise your feet. Stick to rubbing the soles of your feet in the morning and evening to promote blood circulation. In addition, it is also important to choose a pair of comfortable, warm, light and hygroscopic shoes. Take care of your feet, you can get twice the result with half the effort in winter.
Eight, drink "point" tea
Tea is one of the best drinks for people, which contains many vitamins and trace elements needed by human body. In particular, green tea can also prevent cancer and play a very good health care role for the human body. People who have been engaged in computer work for a long time should drink more tea. However, patients with stomach problems or those taking anemia drugs should not drink tea, especially strong tea.
Nine, more "point" water
As we all know, people in summer are active, sweat a lot and urinate frequently. In order to prevent dehydration and heatstroke, people should replenish water in time. Some people may think that people's activities are reduced in winter, and generally they don't feel thirsty, so they don't need to drink water. This understanding is actually wrong. Although sweating and urination decrease in winter, maintaining the normal operation of brain and body organs and cells still needs the nourishment of water to ensure the normal metabolism of the human body. In winter, the daily water supply should not be less than 2000 ~ 3000 ml.
X. prevention of "spot" diseases
The cold weather in winter can easily induce the recurrence or aggravation of chronic diseases, and the cold can also induce the occurrence of myocardial infarction and stroke, which will increase blood pressure and aggravate symptoms such as ulcers, rheumatism and glaucoma. Therefore, patients should pay attention to cold and warmth, especially to prevent the adverse stimulation of strong winds and cool weather to the body, and prepare first-aid drugs. At the same time, we should also pay attention to cold-resistant exercise, improve the ability to keep out cold and prevent diseases and prevent respiratory diseases.
