Second, winter health tips

Autumn harvest and winter storage, winter arrival, people's appetite is generally enhanced, so remember to control your mouth at this time to avoid hurting your stomach. Diet should be based on "nourishing yin and moistening lung", in addition to "less pungent and more sour", and eat more walnuts, sesame seeds and honey. , can play a role in nourishing yin and moistening the lungs; Eat less spicy food such as onion, ginger, garlic and pepper. Old people with a bad stomach can drink porridge in the morning to benefit the stomach and produce fluid.
2, winter tonic should be scientific.
Tonifying in winter is a health preserving method that has been circulated in China for thousands of years. After summer heat consumption, winter tonic can nourish the body's loss well, and has a good storage effect on the consumption in the coming year, making the human body healthier. However, tonic in autumn and winter cannot be carried out casually, but must be carried out according to the actual situation of one's own body, mainly for some patients with qi deficiency and blood deficiency, and the methods of tonic for different weak reasons are different.
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. Winter should be warm, eat less and be cold, but it is not suitable for hot and dry. Eat some foods with high calorie, nourishing yin and suppressing yang, and eat more fresh vegetables to avoid vitamin deficiency.
The colder it is, the more you need to drink water.
People stay in warm rooms and seldom go out for activities, but this does not mean that the water consumed by the human body will be reduced. In winter, the climate is dry and the air humidity is small, so it is necessary to replenish water. If you drink less water, the blood consistency will be high, and symptoms such as thrombosis will easily occur, causing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Drinking more water in winter can also speed up metabolism and play a role in resisting the cold.
Step 4 Exercise moderately
Many people give up exercise because they are afraid of the cold in winter, which is the most unwise thing to do. Exercise is actually the best way to drive away the cold. During exercise, fat is converted into heat, which can help you keep your body temperature, improve blood pressure circulation and relieve cold hands and feet. At the same time, strengthening exercise can also enhance your immunity and resistance, and help you stay away from colds and diseases. Be sure to warm up before exercise. Jogging first makes the body sweat slightly, and then carries out high-intensity fitness exercise. Wear clothes to keep warm and prevent colds during exercise, and put on clothes in time after exercise to avoid colds.
If the outdoor air is cold and it is not convenient to exercise, doing housework is also a good way to exercise. For example, going up stairs can consume 100 calories in just 7 minutes, and can also exercise heart and lung function. It only takes 14 minutes to go down the stairs, which can consume 100 calories. Mopping the floor, just 20 minutes, can consume 100 calories. It doesn't take much time to sweep the floor. It only takes 25 minutes to spend 100 cards.
5. Keep the neck, back, abdomen and feet warm.
These parts can easily cause people to get sick in winter. Headache and neck pain will occur when the neck is cold; People with a cold back, such as those who sleep on a mat, will sneeze, have a stuffy nose and even catch a cold when they get up in the morning.
Abdominal warmth is the key protection work for girls. Avoid dysmenorrhea and irregular menstruation, and avoid cold discomfort. Abdominal warmth is the key; Finally, the foot has multiple acupoints. Once cold and uncomfortable, it will lead to conditioned reflex and various problems.
6. Bathing in winter should be moist and dry.
There are four taboos in bathing in winter: avoid washing too often, avoid boiling water, avoid rubbing hard, and avoid soap being too alkaline. Otherwise, it is easy to destroy the original sebum on the skin surface, making the skin drier and therefore more itchy and chapped. After bathing, you can rub some licorice oil, antipruritic cream, moisturizing cream and so on. Keep the skin moist and prevent the skin surface from drying off.
7. Open the window for ventilation to keep the indoor air fresh.
In the cold winter, people often close the doors and windows, which makes the room full of carbon dioxide and waste gas, which is very harmful to people's health. Therefore, even in extremely cold winter months, we should pay attention to opening the window regularly in order to discharge carbon dioxide and waste gas and improve oxygen concentration. At the same time, let the sun shine in, increase the indoor negative ion content and keep the indoor air fresh.
Third, the misunderstanding of winter health care
1, the tonic is too fast
As soon as beginning of winter arrived, many ordinary people started a tonic meal in a hurry. But after a big meal, I often feel sick to my stomach. So some people think that they can't get compensation and give up the tonic plan. In this regard, experts said that the problem is not the supplementary food, but the wrong supplementary method. Tonifying in winter, it is best to supplement in advance, regulate the function of spleen and stomach, make preparations for tonic, avoid intolerant reaction of tonic, and make tonic twice the result with half the effort. What is a supplement? The first is to adjust the function of the spleen and stomach. You can take some drugs that strengthen the spleen and stimulate appetite, such as Dangshen, Pseudostellaria heterophylla, fried Coicis Semen, yam, lotus seeds and Amomum villosum.
2, filling is not symptomatic
Experts say that we should choose supplements and tonic methods according to everyone's physique, and we should know our physique before tonic. Some ordinary people don't know their physique, follow the trend when they see what others are making up, or draw conclusions for themselves according to their personal imagination, and the result often fails to achieve the effect of making up. Traditional Chinese medicine divides people's physique into nine types: peace, yang deficiency, yin deficiency, qi deficiency, phlegm-dampness, damp-heat, qi stagnation, blood stasis and idiosyncrasy. This constitution is often not single, but a mixture of several constitutions, such as yang deficiency, qi deficiency and phlegm-dampness syndrome. This is different from the simple progressive method of yang deficiency or qi deficiency. If syndrome differentiation is wrong, it is likely to lead to mistakes in later tonic treatment.
Experts specifically mentioned that you can't take supplements when you have a cold. Whether it is warm ginseng or velvet antler, or clean Adenophora adenophora or Polygonatum odoratum, or flat wolfberry or bird's nest, you can't eat it. Wait until the cold is completely cured, and then make up.
3, the dose is not appropriate
Experts said that tonic herbs must follow the principle of small quantity and long duration. For example, ginseng does not exceed 5 grams per person, and it is taken 1~2 times a week. Ejiao should not exceed 10g per person at a time. Small doses are not good, and large doses will have side effects. If some people like to use more medicinal materials at one time, it will lead to "getting angry", and some people will eat a little at a time and use it with the whole family. An old man heard that Huangqi tonifies qi. Every time he cooks soup, no matter what kind of soup, he puts two pieces of astragalus, then cooks 4 liters of water, and the whole family drinks it together for two days. This usage has no effect.
4. Improper service methods
Experts say that although medicine and food are homologous, medicinal materials can be made into food, but medicinal materials are also medicines. Tonics should follow the principle of taking medicine, and drugs should not be taken with strong tea, such as eating ginseng and American ginseng and drinking strong tea. At the same time, we should also pay attention to the "eighteen evils" and "nineteen fears" of traditional Chinese medicine to avoid drug interaction and bring harm to the human body.
Step 5 ignore food supplements
As the saying goes, "medicine is better than food." Experts say that many people pay attention to tonic prescriptions, but ignore that there are many effective tonic materials in their daily diet. For example, mutton is a good food for treating deficiency of both qi and blood, while Sydney can nourish yin and moisten dryness, and is a good helper for nourishing yin and so on. Medicine tonic lies in strengthening the body resistance, and food tonic lies in health preservation, both of which are indispensable.
