pay attention to the diet
In early winter, the temperature drops, everything is sealed and the vitality drops. At this time, it is a good season for tonic. China has always had the custom of tonic in winter, and people are more and more aware that "medicine tonic is not as good as food tonic". In winter, you can add some thick food, such as stewed meat, stewed fish, hot pot and so on.
People are afraid of cold in winter, which is related to the lack of some inorganic salts in the body besides the cold weather outside. Vegetables, especially the old leaves, yellow leaves, roots and skins of vegetables are rich in inorganic salts. Do not remove these beneficial parts when eating. Iron deficiency in human body makes people feel cold. At this time, you can eat some foods rich in iron, such as liver, lean meat, egg yolk, black fungus, black sesame, fragrant blood glutinous rice, sea cucumber and so on. Fresh vegetables mixed with meat have better cold-proof effect. In winter, due to the dry weather, people often feel that the mouth, nose, skin and other parts are dry to varying degrees. At this time, they should eat more foods that moisten the lungs and promote fluid production, such as lily, tremella, yam, autumn pear and lotus root, and eat less spicy and fried foods.
Get more sunshine.
In winter, cold evil is the most rampant and likes to hurt people secretly. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that cold is yin evil, which is easy to hurt Yang Qi. This sun is like the sun in the sky, giving people light and nourishing everything. Without yang, the human body will lose the vitality of metabolism, and its constitution will become weaker and weaker, and it will become more and more afraid of cold. People will also become slow and procrastinating. If you find yourself in this state recently, you should pay attention to it. It is your lack of yang. Therefore, Chinese medicine teaches us to pay attention to sealing Tibet in winter to nourish yang.
Man and nature are interlinked, and proper sunshine is the best way to benefit. The natural law of winter is that yin flourishes while yang declines, so we should get more sunshine to strengthen yang and warm collaterals. Enough sun be the spirit, the warmth of Yang Yang not only dispelled the haze in my heart, but also drove away the disease. This method is the "mystery of negative sun" advocated by Liezi, that is, sitting with his back to the sun. Because the head is the meeting of the sun, it is not suitable to face the sun directly, so as to avoid excessive yang, so the back is the most suitable. Back to the sun, close your eyes and do dozens of abdominal breaths, which is the first way to replenish yang in winter.
Pay attention to nourishing kidney
In winter, the human body's yang accumulates, and qi and blood tend to flow inward, so the skin is dense and water is not easy to leak from the body surface. However, after the kidney and bladder are gasified, a small part of them become body fluid and spread all over the body, and most of them differentiate into water, and urine is poured into the bladder, which invisibly increases the burden on the kidney and easily leads to nephritis, enuresis, urinary incontinence, edema and other diseases. Therefore, winter health care should pay attention to the maintenance of kidneys.
Regulating emotion
In winter, you should be good at adjusting your mood and nourishing your spirit. The key to adjust our mood is to master the characteristics of "hiding the gods" in winter, and the spirit should be hidden in the spirit. The so-called god hiding inside means paying attention to and maintaining emotional peace, adjusting bad emotions in time, maintaining a calm mind, ensuring that the normal physiology of Yang hiding in winter is not disturbed and has a good influence on human viscera. It's actually a tonic.
by oneself
Although the early winter has begun to make people feel cold, proper physical exercise is of great benefit to our health. Of course, winter exercise and summer exercise should be different. Because of the cold weather, if you choose too intense antagonistic exercise, you will be easily injured. Not only can you not benefit from physical exercise, but it will also affect your work, which will not pay off. So choose some aerobic exercise to exercise your cardiopulmonary function in winter. Sports to enhance physical fitness, such as long-distance running, aerobics, swimming, skating, etc. In winter, some sentimental people tend to become depressed, sad and negative. To prevent this, first of all, don't always be locked in the room alone. You should take part in some wholesome recreational activities, such as dancing, singing and listening to music. You can also chat with friends more, which will make people forget their troubles and become comfortable and refreshed. Besides, we should go for a walk in nature more often. Fresh air can not only enhance the human body's respiratory and blood circulation functions, but also regulate and soothe the nervous system, thus eliminating annoying autumn worries.
Go to bed early and get up late.
When the weather gets cold, people's yang will gradually converge. If we still lack sleep at this time, it will not only lead to listlessness, but also make our body's metabolic function abnormal. Therefore, in winter, it is necessary to appropriately extend the sleep time of 1 to 2 hours, so that the body can get sufficient rest. Only adequate sleep can help us relieve fatigue and improve our body's resistance.
Live cautiously.
It is cold in winter, and some people like to close the doors and windows or sleep with their heads covered. This is a very bad habit. In addition to opening doors and windows to allow air convection during the day, small transoms should be opened for ventilation at night. Human cells secrete high concentration of cyclic adenosine monophosphate during the day, which can enhance cell function; Secreting high concentration of cyclic guanosine phosphate at night can weaken and inhibit cell function. In the middle of the night, the human body's resistance drops, so it is necessary to strengthen the monitoring of the weak and sick, observe whether the breathing and pulse are normal, so as to take timely measures for treatment.
In addition, the incidence of cerebrovascular diseases is high in early winter, and it often occurs after long-term sleep. This is because the blood flow slows down during sleep and it is easy to form a thrombus. So it is not appropriate to get up too fast and too fast. You can rest in bed for a few minutes to stretch your muscles and bones, which is of great significance to prevent thrombosis.
