The great cold is the last solar term in a year, and the great cold solar term is generally colder than the slight cold solar term. As the folk proverb says, "cold comes and summer goes, and the weather will get warmer in the future." Slight cold, severe cold, the yang of heaven and earth is hidden, and the human body also reacts. Winter is the best time for human body to charge. People should not only pay attention to health preservation in daily life, but also pay attention to diet and drug supplements. There is a folk proverb, "make up for one winter in September, and be disease-free in the coming year;" Make up for the winter season this year, and tigers can fight next year. "After the cold, the cathode is Yang, and the human body is full of yang, which is easy to absorb foreign nutrition and has a nourishing effect.

Let's talk about the four major dietary customs of the great cold solar terms in winter according to four different regions in the southeast and northwest of China:

1, it is freezing in the north, and the temperature difference between day and night is large.

The temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is also particularly severe. Slightly careless, the spleen and stomach are particularly vulnerable to cold, leading to insufficient yang and abnormal spleen function. Poor transport in the body' blocks the meridians, leading to the impassability of the meridians.

There is yang deficiency in the north. It is best to choose isothermal products of mutton, dog meat and venison for winter tonic. Adding radish and cabbage to cooking can neutralize the effect of warming and make it tonic but not dry. Recommended: radish mutton soup, millet porridge.

2, the south is humid, warming and dampness.

In the south, even in winter, the temperature will not be too low, and the temperature difference is not big. Suitable for tonic, heavy moisture, you can also eat some foods that are wet, and nourish and nourish the medicated diet for conditioning.

It is more suitable to eat pork, duck and chicken in the south. Winter bamboo shoots, bamboo shoots and lotus roots are dampness-removing foods, and Chinese wolfberry and chestnut porridge can be selected for tonifying kidney. The south is dominated by rice, with some wet coarse grains and yuba. Recommended: old duck soup and rice and barley porridge.

3, the west is dry and nourishing yin.

The climate in northwest China is dry, which is harmful to human body and needs nourishing yin. Northwest families should be equipped with humidifiers to keep the humidity balance at home. Drink more warm water, eat more fruits and apply moisturizing lotion in winter.

It is a good choice to eat more lung-moistening foods such as lily, lotus root, almond, ginkgo, tremella and auricularia in northwest China. Winter tonic should put more ginger according to habits. Pepper seasoning recommendation: winter melon mutton soup, sorghum millet porridge, bamboo shoot sparerib soup.

The wet and cold in the east should be warm and sunny.

In the east, especially in coastal areas, sea breeze is mixed with moisture, which hurts the spleen and stomach most when it enters the human body. Aromatic and humidified foods and herbs should be used to dissolve moisture in the body.

In the east, we should cook some porridge for strengthening the spleen and stomach, such as radish, yam, walnut and poria cocos. Seafood is generally cold food, so eat less in winter. Cooking with pepper and pepper isothermal seasoning on the table, eating crabs dipped in vinegar and ginger juice should warm the stomach. Recommended: chicken soup rice porridge, duck asparagus porridge.

What should I eat in the cold season? According to the four dietary customs formed in the southeast and northwest of China, it is necessary to pay attention to the local climate and cooperate with diet to tonify kidney in severe cold, which can not only enhance the cold resistance of human body, but also improve the immunity and disease resistance of human body. It is necessary to conform to the laws of all things in nature and the movement of human yang, and protect the kidneys in order to live a healthy and happy life.
