Winter diet has its own characteristics. Some hot foods, such as mutton, dog meat, etc., which are high in calories and tonify the kidney, can be properly eaten by people with deficiency and cold constitution, and chocolate does not have to be taboo. Eat less cold food. When eating cold foods such as crabs, it is recommended to add warm rice wine and shredded ginger to help drive away the cold.
How to maintain kidneys in winter? Keep the stool unobstructed. In winter, if the stool is not discharged smoothly, a large amount of feces will accumulate in the intestine, and the body will reabsorb the waste gas inside, which will make people upset, chest tightness and shortness of breath, and also hurt the kidney, causing backache and fatigue. Usually, you can eat more foods rich in dietary fiber, promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, accelerate the excretion of feces, and develop a good habit of stretching every day. If dry stool can't be solved, you can stick your hand on your kidney. Hard massage can stimulate kidney qi and help defecation.
Drink more water. When the body is short of water, toxins accumulate in the body and burden the kidneys, so drink plenty of water every day. You can't hold your breath if you have urine. You should urinate in time, because when the urine content in the bladder reaches a certain level, it will stimulate the central nervous system and produce micturition reflex. Holding urine will turn urine into turbid gas, damage the kidneys and increase the risk of nephritis. Pay attention to the diet should not be too salty, because the salty taste into the kidney makes the kidney water cooler, which affects the deficiency of heart yang and has adverse effects on the heart.
Tonifying kidney in winter: controlling sexual life, as the saying goes: "If you don't hide essence in winter, you will get sick in spring." Traditional Chinese medicine believes that cold pathogens are most likely to damage kidney yang, so to resist cold pathogens, we must first nourish the kidney. Otherwise, kidney deficiency in spring will affect the body's immunity and make it easy to get sick. Generally speaking, the winter climate is cold, and the human body needs a lot of energy to keep out the cold, while sexual life consumes more energy. Therefore, when having sex, we must control the bottom line. In winter, in order to avoid unnecessary physical exertion, it is suggested to lie on the bed, reduce body relay and walking, and never forcibly enter the room, otherwise it will hurt the kidney and consume essence. The kidney dominates the bone, and the first symptom is low back pain.
