1, aftercare, dynamic and static combination.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the kidney governs water and hides feelings, aiming at fear, which corresponds to the qi of winter. "The Yellow Emperor Neijing Su Wen? Six dirty images say: "The kidney governs the sting, and the essence is also sealed. "Heart fire, hidden god. Only when the fire and water correspond and the heart and kidney intersect can the heart be clear and calm. Therefore, when the winter months are closed, the heart and kidneys should be nursed back to health. When the weather is sunny, go outdoors to bask in the sun, take part in various cultural and recreational activities, pay attention to the combination of activity and static, exercise and keep fit, be cool in quietness, be healthy in health, sweep away the old days, and be refreshed and full of vitality.
2, living often, gathering yang and protecting yin.
In winter and March, the principle of gathering yang to protect yin and raising "hiding" should be adopted. "Huang Ting Jing" says: "On the third day of winter, the dry Kun is closed, everything is hidden, the gentleman is cautious, abstains from prostitution, stops talking, and waits for Yin and Yang to decide." Therefore, we should go to bed early and get up late in winter and March, control our lust and preserve kidney yang. Pay attention to cold and warmth when wearing a sleeper. However, the temperature is too high, so as not to disturb the internal yang, make it leak out, or accumulate internal heat, forming yin deficiency and excessive fire, phlegm-heat and blood stasis, leading to febrile diseases in spring, or inducing recurrence of old diseases.
3, practice Sanjiu in winter, strengthen muscles and bones.
How does winter exercise reflect "winter storage"? First, we don't advocate practicing too early in the morning; Second, don't "sweat" to avoid catching a cold, and at the same time avoid catching a cold because of sweating. The best activities are Tai Ji Chuan, walking, jogging, swimming, cycling, doing gymnastics, skipping rope and dancing. These are not suitable for strenuous exercise, especially for the elderly. Don't do some ultra-intense exercise in cold weather, and don't sweat. As long as the whole body is warm and the limbs are not stagnant.
4, winter tonic, spring comes like a tiger
In winter, March, the weather is freezing, the trees wither, the essence of everything is sealed, and the metabolism is slow, which is the most suitable time for tonic in a year. Tonifying in winter can germinate vitality, conserve energy, contribute to the growth of yang, and lay the foundation for health in the spring of next year until the whole year. Tonifying should vary from person to person, that is, choose medicine and food from the deficiency of both qi and blood and yin and yang: those with qi deficiency can make tea or soup with ginseng, codonopsis pilosula and Beiqi; People with blood deficiency can choose Ejiao, Angelica sinensis and Yuanrou Shaotang to take; People with yin deficiency can eat ducks, geese and turtles; Or choose Radix Rehmanniae Preparata, Radix Rehmanniae, Fructus Lycii, and Carapax et Plastrum Testudinis. People with yang deficiency can eat mutton and chicken isothermal food, which has the effects of warming the middle warmer, benefiting qi and filling the marrow; Or choose Eucommia ulmoides Oliv., Cornu Cervi Pantotrichum, etc., or burn tea and make soup.
