1. Peace is the foundation.
The maintenance spirit should be based on the stability and tranquility in winter, so as to maintain spiritual pleasure and emotional stability. In Huangdi Neijing, it means that in winter, we should avoid the interference and stimulation of all kinds of bad emotions, keep our mood indifferent and quiet, keep things secret, make our mind quiet and free, and make our inner world full of optimism and joy.
2. Eat more and get warm.
Eat less in winter, be afraid of cold, and keep healthy by food. Traditional health preserving science divides food into three categories: cold, warm and flat. In winter, the climate is cold. In order to keep warm, people should eat more warm food and less cold food. Warm foods include glutinous rice, sorghum rice, chestnuts, jujubes, walnuts, almonds, leeks, coriander, pumpkin, ginger, onions and garlic.
3. Go to bed early and get up late
In winter, it is expensive to avoid the cold and keep warm in the fresh air, "work at sunrise and rest at sunset". In winter, it is particularly important to ensure adequate sleep time. From the perspective of traditional health preservation, appropriately increasing sleep time in winter is conducive to the accumulation of yang and yin essence, so that the human body can achieve a healthy state of "Yin is the secret and God is the rule".
The warm part of winter
1. Keep your neck warm.
Some people continue to cough in winter, which is not easy to cure. After careful observation, it was found that the cold air directly stimulated the trachea because the neck was exposed in the open-necked clothes, but the symptoms disappeared after changing the high-necked clothes and adding a wool scarf.
2. Pay attention to keep your back warm.
The back is the yang of the human body, and pathogenic factors such as wind and cold can easily invade through the back, causing exogenous diseases, respiratory diseases, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Pay attention to keep your back warm, wear a cotton vest, and keep your back warm when sleeping to avoid the invasion of cold evil, so as not to damage the yang.
Third, pay attention to keep your feet warm.
Foot is the foundation of human body, the beginning of meridian and the end of Sanyang meridian, which is related to the twelve meridians, viscera and qi and blood. As the saying goes, "cold starts from the feet", because the feet are far away from the heart, the blood supply is insufficient, the heat is low, and the heat preservation is poor, so it is very important to keep the feet warm. Washing feet with hot water every night can not only keep feet warm during the day, but also promote blood circulation, enhance the body's defense ability, eliminate fatigue and improve sleep.
Matters needing attention in winter health care
1, the best time for health preservation.
Experiments show that the biological clock is at its peak at 5-6 am and the body temperature rises. At this time, you will get up fresh.
2. Keep warm.
Listen to the weather forecast on time, and add clothes and warm facilities with the change of temperature. Soak your feet with hot water 10 minutes before going to bed, and the room temperature should be suitable. Under the condition that the air conditioning temperature should not be too high, the indoor and outdoor temperature difference should not be too large, and the indoor and outdoor temperature difference should be 4-5 degrees.
4. Open the window for ventilation.
The best ventilation effect is to open the window at 9- 1 1 every morning and at 2-4 pm.
5. Don't exercise casually in the morning.
Not too early. Many people choose to do morning exercises before or at dawn (around 5 o'clock), thinking that the environment is quiet and the air is fresh. Actually, it's not like this. Because of the cooling effect of the air near the ground at night, it is easy to form a stable inversion layer, just like a cover that covers the air, making it difficult for pollutants in the air near the ground to spread, and the pollutant concentration is the highest at this time. Therefore, morning exercisers should consciously avoid this period of time and choose after sunrise, because after sunrise, the temperature begins to rise, the anti-atmosphere is destroyed and pollutants spread out. This is a good opportunity for morning exercise.
6. Never choose a forest.
Many people think that when doing morning exercises in the Woods, there is enough oxygen to meet the demand for oxygen during exercise. But this is not the case. Because the chlorophyll of plants can only be photosynthesized with the participation of sunlight, producing fresh oxygen and releasing a lot of carbon dioxide. Therefore, green trees are a good place for walking during the day, but not an ideal place for exercise in the morning.
7. Middle-aged and elderly people should not do morning exercises.
Because the middle-aged and elderly people have diseases such as myocardial infarction, ischemia and arrhythmia, the peak of the disease appears in the morning to noon within 24 hours a day. If you exercise during this period, especially in the early morning, it will induce serious accidents such as heart rate disorder and myocardial ischemia, and even lead to catastrophic consequences of sudden death, while exercise from afternoon to night is rare.
8. Drink water.
Because I didn't drink water all night, my blood was thick in the morning, which increased the risk of blood vessel blockage. After getting up, the sympathetic nerve excitability increases, the heart rate accelerates, and the heart itself needs more blood. 9- 10 in the morning is the time when blood pressure is the highest in a day, so the morning is the most frequent time for stroke and infarction, which is called devil's time in medicine. Drinking a cup of boiled water after getting up early can replenish body moisture and gastric lavage. A glass of water an hour before meals will hinder digestion and secretion and promote appetite.
9. Sleep.
The body's "biological clock" has a low tide at 22-23, so the best sleep time should be 2 1-22.
