Don't be blind in tonic.
It is important to maintain health in winter, but we should also adjust the diet structure and don't blindly supplement it, so as not to cause harm to the body. Some people like to eat meat, animal liver and other foods with high energy and nutrition density. Although this will make our body produce more heat to resist the cold, it will also make us gain weight. Because these foods contain more animal fat, excessive consumption will cause excess energy, which will be converted into fat, leading to obesity. Too much saturated fat can also lead to chronic diseases such as hypertension and hyperlipidemia. The amount of meat, animal liver and other foods eaten every day should not exceed 150g.
In addition, you can consider eating yam, tremella, jujube, honey and so on. It has the function of moistening dryness and nourishing lung, and can be used as an appropriate supplement to complementary food.
Drink more water in winter.
In winter, the climate is dry and cold. People often close doors and windows and use heating air conditioners to keep warm, which will cause indoor hypoxia. Drinking more water is beneficial to the supply of oxygen and helps people breathe smoothly. Therefore, drink more water in winter, and don't wait until you are thirsty. It is worth noting that people with high physical exertion should drink more water.
Choose the right fruit
Eating cloudy and cold fruits often in winter will hurt the spleen and stomach, so try to eat less melons in winter. You can choose grapes, kiwis, oranges and other fruits suitable for winter.
Diet should not be greedy and cold.
It is not advisable to eat cold foods such as bitter gourd, eggplant and tofu in winter, because these cold foods will bring harm to our digestive system. Human body temperature is the best temperature for gastrointestinal work and digestive enzymes to play a role. If you often eat cold food in winter, it may reduce the activity of digestive enzymes, so it is not appropriate to eat cold food at this time.
Prevention of respiratory diseases
The low temperature and dry air in winter will bring some damage to the respiratory tract, and it is easy to suffer from pneumonia, cold, bronchitis and other diseases, and more nutrition is needed to prevent it. It is suggested to eat more high-quality lean meat and eggs rich in protein to enhance the immune system. In addition, vitamin C can be supplemented to dilute toxins in the body and improve the body's ability to resist viruses and bacteria.
Diet should not be overheated.
In winter, the weather is cold, and many people like to eat hot or even hot food often, but they don't know that food drives away the cold of the whole body, but at the same time, the risk of esophageal cancer increases. Regular consumption of hot food will damage the esophagus, and the probability of mutation of cells stimulated by heat in the esophagus will increase, so the probability of esophageal cancer will be greater. The suitable temperature of human esophagus is 10℃ to 40℃.
Moderate drinking.
When the temperature is low in winter, some people will drink white wine to keep out the cold, but this will only make people feel warm for a short time. If they feel too hot, they will still feel cold.
The heat in the human body is produced by the chemical reaction of carbohydrates, fats and other substances during muscle exercise. Liquor is mainly composed of water and alcohol, which produces little heat, so it will only make people feel warm for a short time.
