In winter, the climate is cold and Yin Qiqiang is strong, so human health care should pay attention to keeping out the cold and keeping warm. Young people, especially women, tend to get sick when it is cold in winter. Keeping warm is a topic for women all their lives. However, the physiological function of the organs of the elderly decreased, and their thermoregulation and cold resistance decreased. Need to pay more attention to all aspects of warmth, in order to spend the cold winter and laugh at spring.

Tounuan

Chinese medicine believes:? A meeting in which the head is the sun? . The yang of the human body is the easiest to dissipate from the head, just like a thermos bottle without a plug. According to some data, when the ambient temperature is 1℃, the heat lost from the head accounts for 1/3 of the total heat of human body, 1/2 at 4℃ and as high as 3/4 at-15℃. It can be seen that in order to reduce the loss of body heat, it is necessary to wear a suitable hat in winter, especially when going out.

As the saying goes:? Wearing a cotton-padded hat in winter is like wearing a cotton-padded jacket. ? Otherwise, head exposure will be attacked by cold, vasoconstriction, nerve spasm and muscle tension, which will easily lead to colds, headaches, nasal congestion, toothache, trigeminal neuralgia, facial paralysis, recurrent gastrointestinal diseases, and even more serious cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Back heating

The back is an important barrier for the human body to prevent cold. Chinese medicine said that? The back is yang and the abdomen is yin? . If the back catches cold, pathogenic wind and cold will invade the human body from the acupoint on the back, damaging the yang, leading to illness, or aggravating the illness, and the old disease will suddenly attack. Suffering from rhinitis, tracheitis, asthma, peptic ulcer, rheumatism, gastroenteritis, coronary heart disease, hypertension and other chronic diseases. It is good to wear a vest in winter.

Warm body

In winter, with the change of outside temperature, people should put on clothes in time. Watch the weather forecast every day, pay attention to whether there is a cold current, care about cold and warmth, and avoid cold invading the body and causing diseases. The liner of cotton-padded clothes should be made of silk wool, down, cashmere, acrylic cotton and other materials with light weight and strong thermal insulation. Usually, we should go outdoors more, insist on physical exercise, make blood flow and circulation smooth, accelerate metabolism, and keep our body warm, so as to improve our cold tolerance and adapt to climate change.

Warm feet

Heat dissipates from the head and cold starts from the feet. ? The first thing the human body feels cold is the feet. The feet are yin in the head, so there is less yang. Feet away from the heart, long-term drooping, slow blood flow, poor circulation, insufficient blood supply, thin subcutaneous fat and poor heat preservation performance. So the temperature of people's feet is the lowest. When the feet catch cold, they are not only prone to chilblain and chapping, but also cause vasoconstriction of upper respiratory mucosa through nerve reflex, which reduces blood flow and disease-resistant function, and makes viruses and bacteria hidden in the nasopharynx multiply in large quantities, thus inducing colds and tonsillitis, or causing acute recurrence of old diseases such as tracheitis, asthma, arthritis, gastrointestinal diseases, dysmenorrhea and lumbago and leg pain.

Therefore, shoes and socks should be kept dry and warm in winter, and often washed and dried. Sit less and walk more to promote blood flow. Before going to bed, soak your feet in warm water and massage the soles of your feet for 10 minutes to enhance the health care effect.

Shinuan

Winter tonic can cook more health porridge, nourish yin and strengthen the spleen. After the spleen and stomach are well, they will be better absorbed by the body and there will be no deficiency.
