As the saying goes, "eating ginger in the morning is not as good as ginseng chicken soup, and eating ginger at night is equal to arsenic." Although eating ginger at night is really not as toxic as arsenic, this sentence tells a truth of health preservation: eating hot in the morning and eating hot at night is harmful to your health, so eat something cold.

Traditional Chinese medicine has the saying of "the ebb and flow of yin and yang", which holds that yang should be raised in the morning, and red meat, onions, ginger and other foods should be eaten to warm yang and benefit qi, and help yang grow. Hot food can improve metabolism, cheer up the spirit, promote digestion, and be beneficial to work and study in a day.

Near the evening, the yin is getting longer and the yang is fading, so we should eat some cool and nourishing food. Cold food helps to reduce fever and excitement, smooth ventilation, help sleep and restore physical strength.

In addition, it is suitable for nourishing the liver in the morning, and hot food helps the liver qi to rise; Be calm at night. Cold food has a calming effect.

Take ginger as an example. Eating ginger in the morning can promote appetite, warm the body and be good for health. But if you eat ginger at night, it will stimulate the gastrointestinal tract, make people excessively excited, and then affect sleep. Over time, it will be harmful to human health.

So, what should the "eat hot early and eat cold late" diet look like?

You can eat rice, bread, steamed bread and other staple foods for breakfast, and drink coffee, milk, hot chocolate and other drinks, which can all play a role in warming up and refreshing.

At noon, you can eat hot meat such as beef, chicken and mutton, and you can also eat vegetables such as leeks, onions, leeks and garlic to help you refresh yourself in the afternoon. If you like spicy hot pot, barbecue and other spicy food, you might as well eat it at noon.

Don't drink strong tea and coffee at night, eat lily millet porridge, lotus seed soup, miscellaneous grain porridge and so on.

Dinner should be light, don't touch beef and mutton, fried food and spicy food. Fish is the best meat, and pork is also good; Coupled with cool and soothing foods such as mushrooms, tofu, Chinese cabbage, radish, rape and celery, it can help the body discharge waste and eliminate fatigue.

How to keep fit in winter

The old Chinese doctor told us that winter is the most suitable season for nourishing. In winter, when the weather is cold, outdoor activities are greatly reduced, which is the best time to save energy for the body. At this time, health preservation can not only help the body drive away the cold, but also play a very important role in promoting health. Today, I want to popularize winter health knowledge for everyone. Let's have a look.

Winter health knowledge

Keeping in good health in winter is very important, but it can't be done blindly. We should start with dressing, exercise and maintenance to make our body stronger. Details are as follows:

First: dress.

It is very cold in winter, so many people put on thick clothes to keep warm at this time. But you know, at this time, the head, hands and feet all need to keep warm, which can never be ignored. Experts tell us that there is a very important role between the warmth of the head and the thermal balance of the body. Therefore, in order to be healthy, we should pay special attention to some exposed parts in winter, such as wearing hats and gloves.

Second: exercise

Many people stop exercising because of the cold weather, which is actually unscientific. When the temperature is low in winter, it is best for the elderly and children to reduce the number of outdoor activities, but don't stop exercising. Instead, we should do some simple exercise indoors, such as jogging, which will not increase the pressure on the heart and lungs, but also exercise. In addition, the exercise time is also particular, so it is best from 3 pm to 4 pm.

Third: maintenance

Winter maintenance is a very important job. The colder the weather is, the more you should protect your hands and feet and form a good habit of rubbing your hands. Rubbing hands can not only promote the blood circulation of hands, reduce the possibility of frostbite, but also prevent colds and have a good health care effect on our brains. So rubbing your hands in winter is good for your health.

In addition to the habit of rubbing hands, it is best to soak your feet every day in winter, which can reduce colds, eliminate fatigue and promote sleep. This is a very healthy and scientific lifestyle.

Specific winter health preservation methods

It is found that winter is the high incidence season of various gastrointestinal diseases, mainly because the cold weather is easy to stimulate the body, leading to excessive gastric acid secretion and prone to gastrointestinal diseases. In addition, the old Chinese doctor also told us that winter is the best time to nourish the stomach. As long as you master the following lifestyle, your body will naturally become healthier and healthier.

First: eat less cold food.

If you eat raw or cold food in winter, it is easy to cause various gastrointestinal diseases. Therefore, in order to be healthy, we must pay special attention to the warmth of the body and stomach in winter and eat less cold food, especially some people who are weak and in poor health. In addition, if you want to warm your stomach, you can add some peppers or ginger to your daily diet, which can warm your stomach and protect your spleen and stomach.

Second: Don't overeat every day.

The key to nourishing the stomach is to eat enough, not to overeat. If you eat too much food at a time, it will increase the burden of gastrointestinal digestion, leading to food accumulation and flatulence. Therefore, we should eat more foods that are digestible, non-irritating and healthy for the spleen and stomach. In addition, you can drink more porridge in the morning and evening, which is not only nutritious, but also easier to digest and has less burden on the stomach.

Third: keep a good mood every day.

Do you know that a good mood can not only broaden your mind, but also have a great influence on your body, and it also has the effect of nourishing your stomach. Many modern people have gastrointestinal diseases, mainly due to the pressure of work and life, poor sleep quality, and often being in a tight state for a long time, which affects the normal operation of the stomach. Therefore, if you want to better regulate your stomach in winter, you must keep a good mood, which will make your stomach run more smoothly.

Fourth: give up smoking alcohol, strong tea and coffee.

In addition to the above, you need to say no to alcohol, tobacco, strong tea and coffee, so that you can be healthier. Through research, it is found that long-term smoking can easily lead to peptic ulcer in the stomach, while drinking alcohol can lead to gastric bleeding and so on. Drinking strong tea and coffee for a long time is also very harmful to the gastric mucosa. Therefore, for health, we must say no to these drinks and cigarettes.

In fact, there is a lot of knowledge about winter health care, but as long as we master the foundation and start health care from all aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation, our health will naturally get better and better. In addition, winter is also the best time to nourish the stomach. Be sure to eat warm and digestible food and keep a good mood.
