What should I pay attention to in the snowy season?
Cold protection: protect the head and feet.
During the solar term of heavy snow, we should pay attention to the attack of common cold and cold evil, especially the head and feet. This is because the occurrence of some diseases has a lot to do with not paying attention to keeping warm. Chinese medicine believes that the head, chest and feet of the human body are the most vulnerable parts to cold evil.
According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the head is the "meeting of all yang". Cold weather will make blood vessels contract, and people will have headaches and dizziness. For people with cerebrovascular diseases, cold can easily induce cerebrovascular diseases. It can be seen that it is very important to keep your head warm.
In winter, wind and cold attack the human body, and the chest and abdomen bear the brunt. After catching cold in the chest and abdomen, it is easy to break the yang in the body, which will lead to a heart attack. In addition, cold can also induce gastrointestinal diseases, so keeping warm in the chest and abdomen is also a link that cannot be ignored.
As the saying goes, "cold starts from the foot", the foot is farthest from the heart, the blood supply is slow and less, the subcutaneous fat layer is thin, and the warmth retention is poor. Once it is cold, it will reflexively cause the capillary contraction of respiratory mucosa, which will reduce the disease resistance and lead to upper respiratory tract infection. Therefore, we should pay attention to the warmth of our feet during heavy snow and solar terms.
Diet: Eat more fruits and vegetables.
Heavy snow and solar terms, dry indoor climate and few fresh vegetables will all cause vitamin B deficiency and induce angular stomatitis. So drink more water and eat more fruits and vegetables in winter.
In this solar term, people can make up for it by eating habits. In diet, eat more warm foods such as garlic, leek, pepper, ginger, coriander, onion, yam, longan, chestnuts and preserved apricots to help keep out the cold.
However, due to dry weather and improper diet, it is easy for people to get angry and suffer from aphtha, so we should pay attention to controlling the quantity. At the same time, pay attention to eat less meat, eat more vegetables and warm fruits and drink more porridge.
Daily life: Early to bed and early to rise is good for health.
During the solar term of heavy snow, we should pay attention to maintaining emotional stability and peace, living and working regularly, and exercising.
In winter, the days are short and the nights are long. Pay attention to going to bed early and getting up late. Don't stay up late. Don't get up early and do morning exercises. Be sure to stay in the sun.
Emotion: Emotional Diseases and Prevention of Eye Diseases
In addition, pay attention to emotional peace. Many diseases are caused by emotions. For example, due to emotional instability and irregular daily life, glaucoma (a blinding eye disease) often occurs in cold winter months, and its symptoms are: eye pain, eye swelling, decreased vision, accompanied by headaches, nausea and other symptoms. Therefore, we must maintain emotional stability at ordinary times and avoid mental tension and excessive excitement; Pay attention to the law of daily life, don't stay in the dark for a long time, to prevent the pupil from expanding and causing the intraocular pressure to rise; When the weather is fine, take part in outdoor activities moderately, because this can increase the oxygen supply of fundus blood vessels, reduce the accumulation of carbon dioxide in the blood and avoid the increase of intraocular pressure; In bad weather with cold climate, it is necessary to minimize going out to reduce the impact on the eyes.
