Huangdi Neijing pointed out: "Spring is born, summer is long, autumn is harvested, and winter is stored." Breathing, heartbeat, blood pressure, hormone secretion and the activities of various physiological indicators in the human body also have a law of growth and decline. Health preservation must conform to this law of yin and yang, so as to maintain the harmonious balance between man and nature. Winter is the season of closing Tibet, and keeping Tibet is the main method of health preservation.

Indifferent desire, quiet spirit.

Is it better to be quiet or active in winter Huangdi Neijing tells us that the heart should be quiet and the action should be moving. Wang Qingqi, a professor at Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that Chinese medicine advocates nourishing the heart first. Modern people are under great pressure and have a fast pace, so it is not easy to calm down. How to make the heart calm down? The most important thing is indifference and the desire to control life. Desire has two sides. Desire can make us strive hard, but if it exceeds reality, it will often bring psychological contradictions and conflicts to people. Mencius once said: "nourishing the heart is not good at lust." Inner peace should be based on indifference so that you can live longer.

In order to be healthy, we must prevent procrastination in meditation. Because the damage to the mind is mostly accumulated from small to large. Therefore, "Shilin Guangji, prevent micro-duration" warns: "Be prepared for danger in times of peace, prevent micro-duration"; Don't "take small evils as harmless, don't go". Ji Kang once criticized the wrong attitude of "one anger is not enough to invade and one sorrow is not enough to hurt the body, but it is light and reckless" in On Health Care, and emphasized that we should "realize the physiological fallibility and know its harm" and always pay attention to "nourishing the body to protect the spirit and set our mind at ease".

Regular exercise keeps your blood flowing.

The purpose of exercise is to keep qi and blood flowing smoothly. When human qi and blood are smooth, the channel of life is smooth. The benefits of sports are well known, but we should pay attention to science. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes that people are suitable and tireless, which is enough. In addition, exercise after the sun comes out in winter to protect the yang of the human body.

Wang Qingqi suggested that walking is the most scientific and cheapest exercise method. Chinese medicine believes that the foot is the root of the human body, and aging begins with the foot. Walking has five advantages. First, it can circulate qi and blood and keep the blood flowing smoothly. The second is to prevent osteoporosis, the effect is better than eating calcium tablets and drinking milk; Third, it can improve cardiopulmonary function; Fourth, you can massage the stomach and treat constipation; Fifth, it can digest energy, promote metabolism, burn fat and reduce the occurrence of obesity and hyperlipidemia.
