Kick off the coldest season of the year

It is also the best time to prevent summer diseases and treat winter diseases in winter.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that yin is yang, and after the winter solstice, the yang in the body is strong, and it is easiest to absorb foreign nutrition and play its nourishing role. It can be seen that the winter solstice solar term is the best time to "invest" in health.

During the winter solstice, the diet should be diversified, with grains, fruits, meat and vegetables reasonably matched, and high-calcium foods appropriately selected. The food should be light, and you can't eat thick, greasy and salty food. In winter, the yang is weak, and the spleen likes warm and hates cold. It is advisable to eat warm and tonic products to protect the spleen and kidney. Eat less and eat more. Pay attention to "three more and three less", that is, there are more protein, vitamins and cellulose, and less sugar, fat and salt.

In winter, "hiding" is the main health care, so it is not advisable to practice in the morning. Because the winter solstice season, it is freezing, the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is large in the morning and evening, and the body is not adjusted in time, so it is easy to feel cold and exogenous evil. In addition, the amount of exercise should be gradually increased from small to large, especially running. It is not advisable to do strenuous exercise suddenly. It is necessary to do warm-up exercises and exercise all limbs and joints, and then increase the amount of exercise after the standby body adapts.

Sleep is one of the ways to increase Yin Qi. Yin Qi's growth depends on the negative environment. In winter, the nights are long and the days are short, which is suitable for sleeping more. Lao Tzu said, "You must be quiet. You can live forever without straining your shape or shaking your essence. " Uneasy sleep and all kinds of nightmares are caused by internal evil disturbing the heart yang and need the help of Chinese medicine. Adequate sleep and a hundred times of energy will certainly prolong life.

Entering the winter solstice solar term, the cooling rate will further increase. As the saying goes, "cold starts from the foot", the foot is farthest from the heart, the blood supply is slow and less, the subcutaneous fat is thin, and the warmth retention is very poor. Once it is cold, it will reflexively cause capillary contraction of respiratory mucosa, reduce disease resistance and lead to respiratory infection. Therefore, in the cold winter solstice season, the warmth of feet should also be strengthened.

The solstice in winter is the natural transformation of yin and yang. Moxibustion at Shenque is the best time to stimulate the rise of human yang.

In the four days around the winter solstice, plus nine days from the winter solstice, you can use moxa sticks to moxibustion Shenque point for health preservation. After burning the moxa stick, take the navel as the center and smoke around it. Be careful not to burn your skin, as long as you feel warm. Once a day, each time 15-20 minutes.

Shenque point is the foundation of the internal organs. It's the place where the pulse of Ren and Chong follow, the root of Qi returning to Tibet, and the key point connecting congenital and acquired. Moxibustion at Shenque point can benefit qi and strengthen yang, warm kidney and strengthen spleen, dispel wind and remove dampness, warm yang and rescue inverse, warm meridians and regulate qi and blood.
