Eat laba porridge

There is an important folk custom in the slight cold solar terms, that is, eating "Laba porridge". Laba porridge is made from a variety of ingredients, most of which have the effects of invigorating qi and nourishing blood, expelling cold and strengthening the body, promoting fluid production and quenching thirst. Laba porridge is also drunk on Laba Festival shortly after slight cold. In cold winter, drinking a bowl of steaming Laba porridge can not only satisfy the appetite, but also drive away the chill, which is a very happy thing.

Eat soybean sprouts

According to "Miscellanies of Jinmen", there was a custom of eating soybean sprouts in Tianjin in the old days. Soybean sprouts are a specialty of Tianjin, made of Chinese cabbage buds. In the past winter, people could eat few vegetables, and soybean sprouts made up for the shortage of vegetables in winter to some extent. Now, even in winter, people can eat many fresh vegetables.

physical exercise

As the saying goes, "a slight cold is cold, and it turns into a hockey." Nanjing people have a set of sports with regional characteristics in the slight cold season, such as skipping rope, kicking shuttlecock, rolling hoop, cockfighting and so on. If it happens to snow, many people will go outside to have snowball fights, make snowmen and so on. Anyway, it's very lively. Physical exercise has been a good way to strengthen people's physique since ancient times. In the cold winter, more exercise can improve your immunity and reduce the possibility of getting sick.

Draw a picture and count to nine.

The slight cold solar term originally originated in the Yellow River Basin. It is said that in the early years, every farmer in the Yellow River valley used the "Nine-Nine Cold Map" to keep out the cold and keep fit. From the solstice of winter, draw a stroke every day, 8 1 days later, and this 99-99 picture of dispelling cold will be completed.

Eat glutinous rice

In Guangzhou, Han Xiao has the custom of eating glutinous rice in the morning. People think that glutinous rice contains more calories than rice, and eating it in cold winter can provide enough calories for your body.
