Beginning of winter solar terms health
1, daily life
After beginning of winter, the sun rises late and sets early, so you should go to bed early and get up late to ensure adequate sleep. Beginning of winter is a high-incidence season for colds, which often leads to chronic bronchitis, cor pulmonale, heart failure and other diseases for the elderly, especially for some elderly people with chronic respiratory diseases, which may be fatal. Going to bed early and getting up late can avoid catching cold and prevent colds.
Step 2 prescribe diet
As the saying goes, "medicine is better than food." Food supplement is particularly important in early winter aftercare. When beginning of winter arrives, it represents the arrival of early winter, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is relatively large. At this time, in order to maintain a certain amount of calories, the human body must increase the decomposition of sugar, fat and protein to generate more energy, so it is necessary to eat more foods rich in sugar, fat, protein and vitamins.
It is necessary to eat more vegetables, appropriately increase the intake of food such as animal viscera, lean meat, fish and eggs, and also eat more food such as chicken, turtle, mutton, longan and fungus. These foods are not only delicious, but also rich in protein, fat, carbohydrates, calcium, phosphorus, iron and other nutrients, which can not only supplement the heat consumed by cold in winter, but also invigorate qi and nourish blood and tonify deficiency, especially suitable for people with weak health.
Step 3 Exercise properly
Outdoor activities can increase calories, regulate metabolic function, enhance cerebral cortex excitement and thermoregulation. Keep warm while exercising to prevent colds. You must not wear thick clothes, and it is advisable to sweat slightly to avoid sweating. We should selectively do some jogging, walking, playing Tai Ji Chuan, practicing sword and other items suitable for winter exercise.
Step 4 adjust your mood
From "beginning of winter" to "beginning of spring", it is called "Winter March", which is the coldest season in a year. Although some areas in the south are not cold, they still have to adapt to natural changes. After entering the winter, we should take care of our daily life. Emotionally, Chinese medicine pays attention to peace and tranquility after winter, which can make people look inward and help to raise Tibet. Everything withers in winter, which often makes people emotional and unhappy. The best way to change this bad mood is to take part in more recreational activities, such as dancing, playing chess, drawing, practicing calligraphy and enjoying music. It can eliminate the depression in winter and cheer up the spirit.
Matters needing attention after beginning of winter
Matters needing attention in early winter
1, diet increases heat energy.
Starting with beginning of winter. The cold climate affects the endocrine system of the human body, thus increasing the body's ability to keep out the cold and losing too much heat. Therefore, the nutrition in early winter should focus on increasing heat energy. You can eat more lean meat, eggs, fish, milk, beans and foods rich in carbohydrates and fats.
Step 2 eat less salt
In winter, Chinese medicine believes that we should eat less salty and suffer more. The reason is that winter is the time when the kidney meridian is vigorous, while the kidney is salty and the heart is bitter. According to the five elements theory of traditional Chinese medicine, saltiness wins bitterness, and kidney water wins heart fire. If you eat too much salty taste, it will make the kidney water that is already too strong more vigorous, thus weakening the strength of the heart yang, so you should eat more bitter food to help the heart yang. This can resist too much kidney water. For example, "Notes of the Four Seasons" said: "In winter, the kidney is salty, and you are afraid of fire and water, so you should nourish your heart."
3, eat less cold, not hot.
Dietary care should follow the old adage of "nourishing yin in autumn and winter", "not disturbing yang" and "tonifying deficiency and warming cold", and adjust diet with the changes of four seasons. In the Yuan Dynasty, Hu Sihui wrote "Eating while Eating is Right": "When it is cold in winter, it is advisable to eat millet to cure its cold with heat." In other words, eat less cold and not hot. Eat some high-calorie foods that nourish yin and subdue yang properly. At the same time, eat more fresh vegetables to avoid vitamin deficiency, such as beef and mutton, black-bone chicken, crucian carp, etc., drink more soybean milk and milk, and eat more radishes, vegetables, tofu, fungus, ginkgo fruit and so on.
Diet varies from person to person and from region to region.
China has a vast territory, different geographical environment and different lifestyles, which belong to winter, and the climate conditions in northwest China are very different from those in southeast coastal areas. In winter, the weather in northwest China is cold, so it is necessary to supplement products with high temperature and heat, such as cattle, sheep and dog meat. Although Jiangnan has entered the winter, the temperature is much milder than that in the northwest, and the tonic should be sweet, such as chicken, duck and fish; Located in the plateau mountainous area, with little rainfall and dry climate, fruits, vegetables and rock sugar should be used for sweet and nourishing.
In addition, it also varies from person to person, because there are differences between men, women and children, and the body (constitution) has the debate of deficiency and excess, cold and heat. Based on the law of human growth and the principle of TCM health preservation, young people are re-nourished, middle-aged people are re-conditioned, old people are re-protected, and old people are re-supported. Therefore, "winter tonic" should be targeted according to the actual situation, such as clear tonic, warm tonic, small tonic and big tonic, and must not be blindly "tonic"
Other considerations:
1, more "point" water: Although sweating and urination decrease in winter, maintaining the normal operation of brain and body organs and cells still needs the nourishment of water. In winter, it is generally much more than 2000 ~ 3000 ml to replenish water every day.
2, a "point" sweat: winter health should be properly exercised and sweated to keep fit. Exercise should be combined with exercise, and it is good to run and do exercises as long as you sweat slightly, which is contrary to the way of hiding the sun in winter.
3, prevention of "point" disease: the cold climate in winter is easy to induce the recurrence or aggravation of chronic diseases, so we should pay attention to cold and warmth, especially to prevent the adverse stimulation of strong winds and cool weather on the body, and prepare first-aid drugs. At the same time, we should also pay attention to cold-resistant exercise, improve the ability to keep out cold and prevent diseases and prevent respiratory diseases.
