It is natural to hide in spring, summer, autumn and winter. Chinese medicine believes that "heaven and man correspond", and the period from winter solstice to slight cold and severe cold is the coldest season of the year, during which winter should pay attention to health preservation. Tonifying in winter is a traditional health preserving method in China. There is a folk saying that "three seasons make up a winter, and there will be no disease in the coming year; Make it up in winter this year, and the tiger can be killed next year.
After the winter solstice, "yin and yang are born", and the yang in the human body is strong, so it is easiest to absorb foreign nutrition and play a nourishing role. Wang Qingqi, a famous Shanghainese and a professor at Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, reminded that there are differences between Yin and Yang, cold and heat, ups and downs of viscera and qi and blood, and complicated history of diseases. Therefore, the tonic plan should be tailored to suit the situation.
Before tonic, regulate the spleen and stomach, or eat some "folk prescription" to make up. Medical experts remind that for patients with hypertension, arteriosclerosis, coronary heart disease and other diseases, it is necessary to pay more attention to cold and warmth after winter solstice and add clothes in time. Clothes and trousers should be warm, soft and loose, and should not be worn too tightly to facilitate blood flow.
