Huangdi Neijing suggests that when everything is collected in autumn and winter, the health-preserving person should preserve it in time, protect the yin essence and make the essence condense and nourish the five internal organs. For people with yin deficiency, it is particularly important to adapt to the changes of the four seasons, especially paying attention to the principle of "nourishing yin in autumn and winter". Any loss of yin essence should be avoided.
Therefore, nourishing yin in winter is actually the simplest. If humans can hibernate, they will spend the winter like bears. Because nourishing yin in winter is mainly based on storing yin and essence, appropriately extending sleep time, and warming and strengthening the spleen in diet. Even though I often mention sports, I'd better do indoor sports. Speaking of indoor sports, I'm a little excited. However, to maintain health, the body should be the most important. Men should also control sexual intercourse to prevent sexual overwork and damage the yin essence.
People with yin deficiency constitution are relatively cold-resistant, but deficiency fire is the appearance and yin deficiency is the essence. Excessive tolerance of cold will consume yang. Therefore, people with yin deficiency should not be too greedy, pay attention to keep warm and wear clothes to avoid sweating. However, people with yin deficiency are prone to night sweats in winter, so you can try soaking mulberry in water, and the effect is more immediate. To nourish yin in winter, we should also pay attention to the spirit of recuperation, keep calm and be emotionally stable. Even if you encounter something important, you should think twice before you act.
Winter tonic was the most at that time, and dietary tonic was nothing more than soup. Although there are many tonics, there are many tonics. Here we recommend a lotus root ribs soup suitable for yin deficiency constitution. Lotus root is a very good nourishing food for people with yin deficiency constitution, which can produce yin and produce body fluid, clear away heat and cool blood. When selecting lotus root, it is best to choose the one with a slightly older texture and pink color, which has a better effect of nourishing the spleen and stomach.
Lotus root ribs soup material: 750g ribs, 2 segments of lotus root. Practice: Wash the ribs and cut them into sections, then rinse them with clear water for 20 minutes. Drainage. Wash and peel the lotus root, cut it into small pieces and pat it loose with a knife. Put all the ingredients in a pot, add 1500ml of water, bring to a boil with high fire, and simmer for about 3 hours. Add salt to taste after cooking. Efficacy: This soup has the functions of clearing away heat and resolving phlegm, nourishing blood and caring skin, and can be eaten by people with anemia and palpitation and insomnia.
Since autumn and winter nourish yin, after winter, we have to talk about autumn For people with yin deficiency constitution, it is advisable to "freeze in autumn" and slowly add clothes in early autumn, so as not to feel cold, which can promote the convergence of deficiency fire and nourish Yin Qi. The climate in autumn is cool and dry, but people with yin deficiency prefer cool and hate dry. Because dryness hurts the lungs most easily, people with yin deficiency can eat more sour fruits and vegetables, as mentioned above, to promote the production of body fluid and nourish lung yin. You can also choose some traditional Chinese medicines that can nourish lung yin. Ophiopogon japonicus, asparagus and lily mentioned above are all better, as well as Fritillaria cirrhosa, Platycodon grandiflorum, Dendrobium nobile and American ginseng, which can improve itchy throat, expectoration and dry skin and hair.
Autumn is the best season for sports, but there are still some restrictions for people with yin deficiency, such as choosing sports venues with relatively humid and open environment, such as lakes, beaches, parks and lush forests. Exercise should not be too large, so as not to sweat a lot, which will make the body that was originally short of water worse. It's best to choose milder outdoor sports. Avoid being competitive, and do sports that you can't do in order to compete with others for an instant. Pay attention to replenish water during exercise, avoid taking big drinks and small drinks several times.
