As the saying goes, "medicine is better than food." In winter, food supplement is particularly important. In winter, the temperature is too low. In order to maintain a certain amount of calories, the human body must increase the decomposition of sugar, fat and protein to generate more energy to meet the needs of the body, so it is necessary to eat more foods rich in sugar, fat, protein and vitamins. At the same time, the cold weather also affects the human urinary system, and urination increases. There are more inorganic salts such as sodium, potassium and calcium discharged with urine, so you should eat more foods containing inorganic salts such as potassium, sodium and calcium.

In addition, we should eat more vegetables, appropriately increase food such as animal viscera, lean meat, fish and eggs, and also eat more food such as chicken, turtle, mutton, longan and fungus. These foods are not only delicious, but also rich in protein, fat, carbohydrates, calcium, phosphorus, iron and other nutrients, which can not only supplement the heat consumed by cold in winter, but also benefit qi and nourish blood, which is harmful to the body.

In addition, in order to prevent diseases at this time, we should eat less spicy and sour food. Early winter is a period of high incidence of cardiovascular diseases. At this time, you should eat some moist and sweet food, which is not suitable for always eating spicy hot pot. You can put some vinegar in your diet, which can soften blood vessels and prevent cardiovascular diseases.

2. Spirit

In winter, human metabolism is in a relatively slow period. Therefore, winter health should be based on "hiding". "Hiding" means that people should keep quiet in winter. Experts suggest that when things go wrong, we should learn to control bad emotions. We can vent our negative emotions in an appropriate way to keep our mind at peace. At the same time, we should get more sunshine. Because it gets dark early in winter and the light time is short, it is also a reason why people are prone to depression. Because when night comes, the secretion of melatonin in the pineal gland of the human brain is enhanced, which can affect people's mood, and light can inhibit the secretion of this hormone.

Step 3 exercise

Exercise in winter is essential, and moderate exercise can enhance the body's ability to resist disease invasion. It's cold in winter and people's limbs are stiff, so it's very important to warm up before exercise. Such as stretching limbs, jogging, light equipment, make the body sweat slightly, and then carry out high-intensity fitness exercise. Clothing depends on the weather, mainly to keep warm and prevent colds. Put on clothes in time after exercise to avoid catching a cold. In addition, patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases should be prohibited from doing strenuous exercise, such as playing ball games and climbing mountains. Middle-aged and elderly people with respiratory diseases should avoid cold stimulation, avoid exercise in the morning and evening when it is sunny, so as not to induce disease onset, and the elderly should pay more attention to keeping warm when exercising outdoors.
