Health preservation in winter is not only the growth law of animals and plants in nature, but also a principle of human health preservation, which embodies the principle of "correspondence between man and nature" in traditional Chinese medicine.
As the saying goes, "three nine make up one winter, and there will be no disease in the coming year." Neijing said: "If you don't hide essence in winter, you will get sick in spring." It is clearly pointed out that if people don't know how to keep semen in winter, and semen will still leak frequently in winter, their health will inevitably become weaker.
It is the foundation to preserve health, tonify the kidney and strengthen the body in winter.
The kidney governs water. Neijing says that "the kidney is dirty and governs body fluid", which means that the metabolism of water and fluid in the kidney body is balanced and promotes the production and excretion of body fluid. Body fluid metabolism generates Shui Gu essence through spleen and stomach transport, and nourishes the whole body through transport; After metabolism, water will turn into sweat, urine and gas to be excreted.
Four suggestions on health preservation in winter storage
1, keep warm from the cold
Chinese medicine believes that going to bed early and getting up late, and doing it at sunrise, to ensure adequate sleep, is conducive to the accumulation of yang and yin essence. Too little clothes and hail, too low room temperature is easy to catch a cold and consume yang. On the other hand, if the clothes are too thick, the room temperature is too high, and the yang is not hidden, cold pathogens are easy to invade and the human body loses its metabolic vitality. So, remember to "raise Tibet" in beginning of winter's daily aftercare.
2. Protect the liver and nourish the kidney
Kidney belongs to water and liver belongs to wood. When the kidney is raised in winter, it will grow well. Aquatic wood will nourish the hair growth function of the liver, and only in spring will it have the power of hair growth. However, the protection of yang in winter is not just kidney yang.
Step 3 Exercise properly
"Move in winter and get sick less; Lazy in winter, drink a bowl of medicine. " Pay special attention not to do morning exercises too early. When the weather is fine, it is not too late to do morning exercises when the sun comes out. Tai Ji Chuan, Qigong and jogging are all good methods.
Step 4 pay attention to your emotions
The core of emotional health in winter is "introversion and tranquility". Stagnation of the liver. Depression of the liver leads to many diseases, so all diseases are due to qi. People should also hide their emotions in winter and don't get angry easily. It is not good for a person to be depressed, and long-term emotional disorder may lead to cancer.
