Therefore, the health care of slight cold focuses on "tonifying kidney and preventing cold".

The slight cold is due to the strong rust smell and weak kidney qi in the middle of winter. Therefore, the diet should nourish the heart, help the lungs and regulate the kidneys. The so-called "three nine make up one winter", but remember that slight cold should not make up for it, but should make up for it. "civilian food" such as radish and cabbage is also a cheap health care product. In winter, the climate is dry, and Chinese cabbage is extremely high in water content and rich in vitamins. Eating more Chinese cabbage can play a good role in nourishing yin and moistening dryness, and maintaining beauty. Chinese cabbage basically doesn't pick people, especially those who are overweight, get angry, have spleen-stomach disharmony and cough with phlegm. Radish is nutritious and has the effects of clearing away heat and resolving phlegm, promoting fluid production and cooling blood, and relieving depression and hangover. It can be eaten raw, cooked or pickled; Eating with mutton and ribs can tonify spleen and kidney, keep out cold and resolve phlegm.
2. Exercise properly to keep fit.

Doing outdoor exercise in mild cold season can improve hematopoietic function, regulate central nervous system, increase blood circulation of human skin and internal organs, and enhance metabolism and immune function of various parts of human body. But exercise should also be moderate and gradual, and it is not advisable to do too intense exercise. According to your physical condition, you should take part in fitness exercises 2 ~ 3 times a week, such as swimming and playing tennis. I usually take time to take a walk, jog, jump rope, play Tai Ji Chuan and Baduanjin. It should be noted that warm-up activities should be done before exercise, such as stretching and beating the whole body muscles.
3. Keep your head and feet warm from cold evil.
? Chinese medicine believes that "winter is a cold injury, and spring is bound to be hot." When winter is attacked by cold evil, spring will produce "fever", which is some exogenous acute diseases characterized by fever. The kidney has a powerful function, which can adjust the body to adapt to the changes in severe winter and resist the invasion of cold evil, and the key to ensure the vitality of the kidney is to keep warm. Therefore, when going out, we should pay attention to keep warm, especially to protect the head, shoulders, neck, feet and other parts that are easy to catch cold to prevent respiratory diseases. For the elderly, we should pay attention to ventilation while keeping warm and strictly guard against cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
4. Go to bed early and get up late, nourishing yang and hiding yin.
? The ancient book "Su Wen Si Qi Diao Ling" says: "Get up early and get up late, you have to wait for the sun. "Going to bed early can nourish the yang of the human body, and getting up late can nourish the yin of the human body and keep the balance of yin and yang in the body. Supplementing qi during sleep ensures adequate sleep, which is conducive to the hiding of yang and the accumulation of yin essence. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the strongest time of kidney yang is 5 ~ 7 am, and the weakest time of kidney yang is 1 1 pm ~ 1 am. Therefore, it is advisable to go to bed early and get up late to raise yang and hide yin.
