Under such harsh conditions, going out to exercise is a bit of a trap, but you can't "indulge in depravity." What should I do?
You can exercise at home!
Huangdi Neijing says, "Spring is born in summer and autumn is harvested in winter", especially after the winter solstice, the days of seeing the sun are getting less and less, the world is closed, the earth is no longer full of vitality and a sealed scene.
People should also recharge their batteries and have a rest.
1, keep the air circulating.
Research shows that a person needs 20~30 cubic meters of fresh air per hour to feel comfortable.
But whether at home or in the office, the doors and windows are closed in winter. One by one, they are flushed and dizzy indoors, and they are reluctant to open the window and let out a little heat.
Poor ventilation will inevitably lead to insufficient indoor oxygen content and an increase in turbid gases such as carbon dioxide. If people stay in such an environment, they will soon have dizziness, brain swelling, chest tightness, fatigue and other symptoms, which will not only reduce work efficiency, but also increase the number of germs and increase the probability of illness.
Ventilate at least once a day in the morning, at noon and at night, leave a window gap when sleeping, and use an air purifier if possible.
2. Keep your limbs warm.
After the solstice in winter, the temperature dropped significantly, and the temperature at night was even lower.
As the saying goes, "cold is born at the feet", which is too familiar. Everyone is hot and hot, but this foot is as cold as ice and uncomfortable. If you forget to soak your feet at night, you can't sleep for a long time.
Feet are farthest from the heart, with less blood supply and thinner subcutaneous fat, so their ability to resist cold will naturally be worse. Once caught cold, it will reflexively cause capillary contraction of respiratory mucosa, reduce the ability to resist diseases, and lead to respiratory infection.
Therefore, remember to soak your feet with warm water before going to bed, which will help to promote blood circulation and dredge collaterals, warm limbs, smooth qi and blood, soothe the nerves and help you sleep, thus effectively avoiding the occurrence of colds.
3. Proper warmth and cold resistance.
Traditional Chinese medicine often says that "Yang is nourished in spring and summer, and Yin is nourished in autumn and winter", so winter is most suitable for tonic.
You can eat more foods rich in vitamin C, such as kiwi fruit, citrus, bell pepper, tomato and other fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C. Studies have shown that taking a large amount of vitamin C can effectively enhance the cold tolerance of human body.
Walnut, yam, black fungus and other foods can play the role of tonifying kidney, keeping out cold, moistening lung and promoting fluid production, and are all good choices.
Mutton stew with yam is a very good tonic soup, which can strengthen yang, keep out the cold, regulate the spleen and stomach and warm people's hearts.
At the same time, we should pay attention to avoid cold, spicy and high-salt food after the heavy snow season.
4, moderate exercise
When the air quality is good, you can choose aerobic exercise such as outdoor exercise, jogging or aerobics; When the air quality is bad, you can play Tai Chi and practice Ba Duan Jin at home. Relaxation exercise is beneficial to enhance cardiopulmonary function.
Warm-up preparations should be made before exercise to avoid joint and soft tissue injuries. Exercise needs to be warm or slightly sweaty. Don't sweat all over, otherwise the gas will leak out and the purpose of sealing will not be achieved, especially for friends who are weak and prone to catching a cold.
It is not recommended to exercise in the morning and evening in winter. At this time, the temperature is low and the pollution is serious, which is easy to make the blood vessels of sugar friends contract, leading to the increase of blood sugar and blood pressure. After the sun comes out, you can exercise, the yang will rise, and you can collect the essence of heaven and earth.
Do these things well, get twice the result with half the effort in winter, be in a good mood and be in good health, and spend this difficult winter together.
