University health care
Drink more water, sleep less and wear less clothes.
"Nourishing yang in spring and summer, nourishing yin in autumn and winter, this is a theory of Chinese medicine that everyone is basically familiar with." Wang Jie said that at this time, if you nourish yin according to the advantages of nature, you can adjust the balance of Yin and Yang in your body. "So, what can I do to nourish yin? Chinese medicine believes that water is the most yin, so a very direct way is to drink more water in the dead of winter. " Wang Jie suggested drinking three glasses of water as much as possible in one day: the first glass of water in the morning can moisten the intestines; Drinking the second glass of water at 4-5 pm can nourish kidney yin; You can drink the third glass of water at 9 o'clock in the evening, which can nourish your heart and yin. In addition, you can eat more nourishing food, such as pears, radishes, lotus roots, mushrooms and so on. "It is ok to add clothes to keep out the cold in time, but one thing to pay attention to is that the warmer the better." Wang Jie said that the heating conditions are generally good now, and the indoor temperature of many residents remains around 24 degrees Celsius. In this case, if the elderly and children are wrapped in thick clothes or baked with heating equipment, it is more likely to cause colds. "Many elderly people have a misunderstanding when they sleep, thinking that it is cold and cold, and they should wear more clothes when they sleep. In fact, this will not only hinder the normal' breathing' of the skin, but also affect the blood circulation, resulting in a decrease in body surface heat. This is why some elderly people feel' covered with a thick quilt or feel cold'. " Wang Jie said.
Be careful of catching cold in the neck, chest and back.
"Recently, several acupuncture patients come to the clinic every day. Are younger lesbians. Coincidentally, they all have a problem, shoulder pain. " Wang Jie said that after winter, people generally put on thick sweaters and down jackets. When going out, but "armed to the teeth", many people ignore an important part: the neck. "In layman's terms, cold can easily invade the body along the neck, causing diseases such as sore throat, inflammation and shoulder pain. In addition, the neck is where the trachea is located. In winter, my throat itches, and I have a small amount of phlegm when coughing. The effect of taking cough medicine is not obvious, which may be related to the cold in the neck and chest. Especially for many office workers with poor cervical spine, it is recommended to wear high-necked clothes as much as possible in winter, or develop the habit of wearing scarves before going out. Tie a long scarf on your chest to protect your neck and chest. Try to tighten the zipper when the coat is outdoors, which can minimize the impact of cold on the heart, spleen and stomach and reduce the risk of illness.
Wang Jie added that Chinese medicine believes that the head, chest and feet are the most vulnerable parts to cold pathogens. "lung essence and dirty" It's too cold and too hot to stand, especially cold, which is most likely to cause cough and asthma. Female friends wear vests in winter to protect their shoulders from cold. "Feet keep warm because the feet are farthest from the heart and the blood supply is slow and less. As the saying goes,' a cold starts from the foot'. Once the foot catches cold, it will reflexively cause the capillary contraction of the respiratory mucosa, thus reducing the disease resistance and leading to upper respiratory tract infection. Therefore, it is freezing in cold weather, and the warmth of feet should be strengthened, such as wearing thick stockings and boots and washing feet with hot water before going to bed. While warming the feet, it also promotes the flow of blood inside the human body. "
Jogging and playing ball can help to change depression.
"Everything grows on the sun. After entering the winter, the light time is gradually reduced, which is easy to make people's body and mind in a downturn. Recently, many people went to see a doctor and said,' I'm lazy and I'm not interested in doing things.' Wang Jie said that in view of these emotional changes, we should first realize that this is the normal response of the human body to environmental changes. Secondly, we should consciously adjust our body and mind and actively adjust our emotions. One of the best ways to change depression is to do activities, such as jogging, dancing, skating and playing ball games. These are all good medicines to get rid of winter boredom and keep your spirits up. "Wang Jie suggested that winter exercise must choose the right time and environment. Generally speaking, the best time for winter exercise should be controlled from 9 am to 1 1, or from 2 pm to 4 pm. In addition, it must be done when there is no smog.
In addition, Wang Jie especially suggested that if you exercise outdoors in low temperature, try not to breathe with your mouth wide open. Otherwise, a large amount of cold air will enter the abdominal cavity, which will cause stomach pain. Cold air directly stimulates the mucosa of the throat and bronchus, and it is also easy to cause cough or induce respiratory diseases. It is good for middle-aged and elderly people to keep fitness habits, but they must take protective measures and do not exercise on an empty stomach; People with a history of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases should carry emergency medicine with them before going out.
What does the heavy snow eat?
Shi sweet potato porridge
After the heavy snow, the temperature gradually became cold. People pay great attention to keep warm indoors and outdoors, and wear winter clothes to prevent freezing and frostbite. There is a folk saying in northern Shandong that "people only drink red sticky porridge", which means that when it is cold, they no longer visit their homes, but only drink warm sweet potato porridge at home. In addition, it is also a common sight to enjoy snow and make a snowman outdoors when it snows.
Eat green onions "Toarey Yang"
Chinese medicine believes that before and after the solar term of heavy snow, the weather is cold and sunny. If you don't pay attention to keep warm, the invasion of cold evil can easily lead to illness. Therefore, we should pay attention to the maintenance of yang in winter.
Before and after the heavy snow and solar terms, there is a high incidence of cold and cold. The main symptom of cold and cold is fear of cold and wind. Usually you have to wear a lot of clothes or cover a big quilt to be comfortable. When the weather is cold, it is helpful to eat some foods that benefit qi and strengthen yang, such as green onions, to prevent colds.
Although the green part of scallion is much more nutritious than the green part of scallion, it is more effective from the perspective of aphrodisiac and dietotherapy. For example, many classic dietotherapy remedies for colds and colds have chopped green onion as medicine, such as the main ingredients of chopped green onion soup. Green onions are pungent and slightly warm, and have the functions of activating yang, detoxifying and seasoning. In addition to the prevention and treatment of wind-cold common cold, it also has a certain therapeutic effect on symptoms such as abdominal pain due to yin cold, aversion to cold and fever, headache and stuffy nose, and milk obstruction. Need to remind everyone that the general population can eat green onions, but people with gastrointestinal diseases, especially ulcers, should not eat more.
Shibaicai skin care beauty
During the heavy snow and solar terms, the air is particularly dry, and the cold wind makes many people's skin dry. Many office workers are locked in air-conditioned rooms with heating on when they arrive at work, and the water in their skin loses faster accordingly.
Eating Chinese cabbage in winter is not only nutritious, but also has the effect of skin care and beauty. This is mainly because Chinese cabbage is rich in vitamin C and vitamin E, which can play a good role in skin care and beauty. Chinese cabbage is rich in crude fiber, which can not only moisten intestines and detoxify, but also stimulate gastrointestinal peristalsis, promote defecation and help digestion.
Eat carrot tassels to supplement calcium.
The arrival of the heavy snow solar term marks the official beginning of the alternation of autumn and winter. This is because when the sunlight is weak and the human body is affected by the cold temperature, the physiological function and appetite will change. Therefore, it is necessary to properly adjust the daily diet to ensure that the body has sufficient calcium sources to warm up in winter.
Shortening the sunshine time in winter will affect the formation of vitamin D. When it is cold, the urine volume of human body will increase, and the amount of inorganic salts discharged with urine will also increase. The human body is often prone to lack potassium, calcium, sodium, iron and other elements, especially the elderly. Therefore, calcium should be supplemented in time.
Radish tassel is the vegetable with the highest calcium content, which is very suitable for people with calcium deficiency. Take soybean as an example, the calcium content per1000g of soybean is about 19 1 mg, but the calcium content per100g of carrot spike is 350mg, almost twice that of soybean. .
Radish buds, like many vegetables, are easy to lose vitamins, so it is best to blanch them and eat them cold. A cold radish tassel can completely meet the daily needs of vitamins A and K, 55% of vitamin C and 27% of folic acid, and 65,438+00% of calcium and manganese.
What do you need to pay attention to when repairing your body in snowy days?
If the snow is properly compensated, it will not be cold for a year.
During heavy snow, the cold and humidity in the air will increase. From heavy snow to winter solstice 15 days, because the air between heaven and earth is still relatively weak, the theme of health preservation is the same as that of light snow solar terms, mainly to warm up.
From the perspective of TCM health preservation, tonic is the main way in the whole winter, especially in snowy days. Tonics vary from person to person. Moreover, dietotherapy is only one aspect of tonic. In addition, we should also adopt comprehensive aftercare, such as aftercare, diet adjustment, physical exercise, careful sexual intercourse, warmth and cold protection, etc., so as to achieve the purpose of health preservation and tonic. In other words, in addition to food supplements, you can also make medicine supplements, wine supplements and spiritual supplements.
Heavy snow is mainly to make up the sun, but it should be chosen according to its own situation. People with yin deficiency, such as red face, dry mouth, dry cough, chapped lips, dry skin and dry hair, should prevent dryness and protect yin, nourish kidney and moisten lungs, eat more soft and moist foods, such as milk, soybean milk, eggs, fish, sesame seeds, honey and lily, and avoid hot and dry foods, such as pepper, star anise and fennel. If people with yang deficiency are often pale, weak, tired and afraid of cold, they should eat more warm and soft foods, such as beans, dates, yams, longan, pumpkins, leeks, celery, chestnuts and chicken. And avoid sticky, dry, hard and cold food.
Drink sorghum wine for impotence due to liver qi deficiency.
Let's talk about wine tonic here. Wine is the first of all medicines, that is to say, the status of wine in traditional Chinese medicine. Since wine has medicinal properties, we should drink it carefully. It is not advisable to drink alcohol during the period from heavy snow to vernal equinox. Because in the two months from the great cold to the vernal equinox, people are prone to excessive liver qi, and wine is full of liver qi. Drinking at this time will add fuel to the fire. In addition, people who are red-faced or irritable are not suitable for drinking.
Those with insufficient liver qi can drink wine brewed by red sorghum in moderation to supplement Yang Qi. Drink at night, when the kidney meridian is the most abundant, and the kidney governs the storage of essence. Drinking alcohol in moderation at night can make those with cold fingers and shortness of breath replenish their vitality; Those with cold back can use wine to warm kidney yang; Abdominal distension and loose stool can strengthen the spleen; People with dry eyes can nourish the liver and yin with wine. However, wine is a double-edged sword, which can support people and hurt people. Treat it correctly, not excessively. Only when you drink it correctly can it be beneficial to your health.
Now most people have a strong sense of tonic, but they don't understand that "communication" is the key to health. The so-called "communication" in Chinese medicine means the smooth flow of qi, blood and meridians, and qi stagnation and blood stasis and meridian obstruction can also lead to diseases.
The easiest way in winter is to eat more radishes. As the saying goes, "eat radish in winter and ginger in summer, and don't seek medical advice." In order to keep out the cold and keep healthy, the first choice of ancient royal diet was mutton stewed with white radish. This dish can supplement the yang in the body and warm the five internal organs, especially suitable for people with kidney deficiency and spleen deficiency.
In addition, because white radish has the effects of eliminating stagnation and resolving phlegm, clearing away heat and detoxifying, eating raw radish after eating greasy food such as meat in winter can relieve boredom and promote digestion. However, because white radish tastes sweet and cold, people who are deficient in spleen and stomach, can't eat it or have weak constitution should eat less; Don't eat white radish after taking tonic such as ginseng, otherwise it will affect the curative effect. In addition, because eating raw radish produces more gas, it is not good for ulcer disease, so patients with such diseases should also eat less white radish.
If the snow season is well repaired and the yang is properly warm, you will have a solid physical foundation in the coming year.
Conclusion: Through the above description, I believe you have some understanding of how to keep fit in snowy days. Fitness in solar terms and heavy snow is the best for your health. As the saying goes, "Heavy snow can make up properly, and it won't be cold for a year". I hope my advice can help you spend a healthy and warm winter.
