1, keep in good health in winter
1, go to bed early and get up late
Huangdi Neijing says that "it is advisable to lie down early and get up late in winter and March, and wait for the sun", which means that it is advisable to lie down early and get up late in winter until the sun comes out. In the cold winter, it is particularly important to ensure adequate sleep time. From the perspective of traditional health preservation, increasing sleep time in winter is beneficial to storing yang and yin and essence, which can make the human body reach a healthy state of "Yin and Pingyang are secret and God is right".
Step 2 Wash your face with cold water
Cold water can not only prevent colds, but also play the role of beauty beauty and treat chronic rhinitis. If you can cooperate with the massage of auricular points, Tang Yin, Taiyang, Buche and other points, the effect will be better.
Step 3 drink warm water in the morning
Drinking 1 cup of warm water after washing your face and brushing your teeth can warm your body, clean your stomach, dilute your blood, prevent cerebral thrombosis and myocardial ischemia, maintain cell permeability and promote cell metabolism.
Step 4 keep your back warm
Pathogens such as wind-cold can easily invade through the back of human body and cause diseases. Old people, children and the infirm should pay attention to keeping their backs warm in winter so as not to hurt the sun.
5, the room temperature is moderate
It is cold in winter, so the indoor temperature should be suitable. Room temperature is 18 ~ 25℃. Too high or too low indoor temperature is harmful to health. If the indoor temperature is too high, the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is too large, which may easily lead to a cold; If the indoor temperature is too low, people who live in a low temperature environment for a long time are likely to cause respiratory diseases and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. The thickness of bedding should be adjusted according to the change of room temperature, so that the human body feels warm and does not sweat. Try to reduce the number of outings, such as wearing warm clothes and shoes and socks.
6. Open the window for ventilation
Attention should also be paid to keeping indoor air fresh in winter. In winter, some people close the doors and windows because they are afraid of cold, which makes the indoor air unable to circulate in time and is filthy, which affects their health. Therefore, while adjusting the indoor temperature in winter, we should also pay attention to indoor air circulation and humidity adjustment, and open the window for ventilation in time when the weather is fine.
7. Get more sunshine
In the cold winter, cold is easy to hurt people's yang, while sunshine gives people warmth, which makes people's yang flow smoothly, qi and blood run in harmony, thus enhancing their ability to resist evil.
2, winter health misunderstanding
1, licking your lips can moisturize.
When the air is dry in cold, people's lips are prone to chapping, causing discomfort, pain and bleeding. Many people like to lick their lips with their tongues, thinking that they can moisturize and be comfortable, but the result is just the opposite.
Because saliva is secreted by salivary glands and contains amylase and other substances, it is sticky, just like rubbing a layer of paste on your lips. After the water evaporates, the lips will be drier and more prone to peeling. If your lips are dry and uncomfortable, you can apply some lip balm without pigment and fragrance.
The more clothes you wear, the warmer you will be.
In the cold season, some people wear full clothes, thinking that the more they wear, the warmer they will be. This view is one-sided, because the warmth of clothes is related to the thickness of air layer inside clothes. Wearing a piece of clothing increases the thickness of the air layer and the warmth retention. However, when the total thickness of the air layer exceeds 15 mm, the air convection in the clothes increases obviously, but the warmth retention decreases.
Physiologically speaking, if people wear too many clothes, the skin blood vessels will expand due to high fever, which will increase heat dissipation and reduce the body's adaptability to external temperature changes.
3. Warm hands and feet after freezing.
Many people have the experience of entering the room from the outdoor where the cold wind is howling. At that time, what they wanted to do most was to bake their frozen hands and feet by the heater. Although it is temporarily comfortable, this change process is very unfavorable to hands and feet-it is easy to get frostbite in the future.
The correct way is to rub bare hands and feet together not far from the heater, so that the temperature of hands and feet will naturally rise. When the skin surface turns red, move it to a heater or put it in hot water to keep warm.
4. Touching the skin with your hands is itchy.
When it's cold, people tend to itch all over because the air is dry and the number of baths is small. At this time, you must not scratch it with your hands, otherwise it will easily scratch your skin and cause secondary infection.
The general methods to prevent and cure skin itching are to drink more water, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, eat less spicy food such as hot and sour, drink less hard liquor, take a bath frequently and change underwear frequently. Those with severe itching can take chlorpheniramine, aminophenol and other drugs under the guidance of a doctor, or apply calamine lotion or ointment to treat itching.
Step 5 wear a mask to prevent colds
In the cold winter, some people often wear masks when they go out, thinking that this can prevent colds and colds. In fact, this is unscientific, because people's nasal cavity and the whole respiratory tract are covered with many mucous membranes, and there are microvessels under the mucous membranes. When the nose sucks in cold air, it passes through a winding pipe and enters the lungs, and it is close to body temperature.
This physiological function of the human body can be enhanced through exercise, thus improving the cold tolerance. If you wear a mask all day, the mucosa of the nasal cavity and the whole respiratory tract will not get exercise, and it is easier to catch a cold if you have a slight cold.
6. Drinking white wine can keep out the cold
Many people think that drinking liquor in winter, especially high-alcohol liquor, can help people resist the cold. The reality is that people's sense of warmth after drinking is short-lived.
The heat in human body is produced by complex chemical reactions of protein, fat, carbohydrate and other substances in human body during muscle exercise. The main components of wine are water and alcohol, which will not produce too much heat.
On the contrary, due to the stimulation of alcohol, blood vessels can't contract in time, which prevents blood from transferring heat to the outside world. After a large amount of heat is lost, people will feel colder.
7. Sleeping with your head covered is the most comfortable.
On cold nights, many people like to sleep under the covers. This is neither sanitary nor comfortable. Sleeping with his head covered, in addition to the lack of oxygen, leads to dyspnea and dizziness, and the large amount of water vapor exhaled from his mouth also makes the humidity in the bed increase sharply, and the good microclimate in the bed is quickly destroyed, making him uncomfortable all over.
