In early spring, the elderly can not only warm the yang in the body and drive away the cold in late spring, but also have the benefits of promoting hair growth, helping sleep and strengthening bones. Of course, we should remind everyone that only when we choose the right time and place can we eat the sun as a tonic with the best effect.

You should choose the right time to bask in the sun. You should arrange a certain time to go outdoors to bask in the sun every day. The time is usually 9 ~ 10 in the morning and 4 ~ 5 in the afternoon. The irradiation time should be gradually extended. It can be gradually increased from ten minutes to l hours. You'd better bask in the sun and have a rest in the shade. The length of time depends on the weather and seasonal changes, physical fitness and tolerance.

Sunbathing should focus on four parts.

Dry your legs and feet to drive away the cold. "Cold starts from the feet", and people who are often prone to cold hands and feet are mostly yang deficiency. In this case, it is better to dry your feet to drive away the cold in your body. Patients with old cold legs can hang their legs in the sun in summer, which can well drive away the cold of their legs, accelerate the absorption of calcium and help prevent osteoporosis. When drying your legs, you should choose good weather and dry them for at least half an hour at a time. When basking in the sun, you can massage Zusanli (the four horizontal fingers below the front and outside of the calf and the knee), which is of great benefit to anti-aging and longevity.

The palm of the sun helps you sleep. People's palms are rarely sunburned, so special care will have a good health care effect. The most important point in the palm of your hand is Laogong (natural fist-clenching, the tip of the middle finger). Pressing this acupoint has the effect of clearing away the heart and calming the nerves. The way to dry your palm is simple. Spread your hands out in the sun and face the sun, or raise your hands and face the sun. Regular palm drying can relieve fatigue and promote sleep.

Sun put his head to Buyang. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "the head is the head of all yang", which is the place where all Yang Qi converge, and the essence of the five internal organs and the qi of clearing yang in the six fu organs all converge at the head. Baihui point is located in the middle of the head (passing through the midpoint of the connecting line between the two ears) and is the focus of sunbathing. You don't have to stay in the sun at any time, but any time is fine. When the weather is fine, you can go for a walk outdoors, let the sun shine all over your head, and you can replenish the yang along the pulse.
