How to keep fit in February?
Man:
Take action in early spring.
Life lies in exercise. Exercise nourishes the body and life nourishes the blood. Regular activities and proper exercise are the secrets of longevity throughout the ages. However, "dynamic" can be divided into active and passive. In order to adapt to the vitality of spring, we should give priority to active exercise and perseverance. Facts have proved that taking part in outdoor activities in winter can make the body get proper cold stimulation, accelerate the heart beating, deepen breathing, strengthen metabolism in the body, increase the heat generated by the body and be beneficial to health.
Such as: walking, running, climbing, doing exercises, boxing, playing ball, dancing yangko, kicking flippers, skipping rope, etc. In order to improve blood circulation, improve cardiopulmonary function, get more oxygen, make brain tissue get more blood and oxygen, and make brain tissue adapt to the seasonal changes of blood circulation. Therefore, excessive exercise should be avoided, so as not to sweat and hurt Yang, which is contrary to the purpose of "nourishing Yang in spring and summer".

Old man:
Suitable spring cover.
"Spring covering" means that in spring, when the temperature is just getting warmer, don't take off your cotton-padded clothes too early, so that the heat generation and cooling regulation of your body are in a relatively balanced state with the environmental temperature in winter. From winter to early spring, it is warm and cold at first, and the temperature changes greatly. As the saying goes, "Spring covers your face three times a day." Take off your cotton-padded clothes too early. Once the temperature drops, a sudden attack on the baby's nervous system and thermoregulation center will make it unprepared and difficult to adapt, thus reducing the body's resistance. At the same time, germs multiply in spring, take advantage of it and invade the baby's body, which is easy to cause various respiratory diseases and infectious diseases in winter and spring.
Spring talks about autumn freezing. How long is the best time to "cover" Generally, the shortest period after beginning of spring is 10 days-15 days. This is because although beginning of spring represents the arrival of spring, the low temperature in winter will not rise immediately, and it will take at least 10-15 days. During this period, the temperature changed greatly. If you take off your cotton-padded clothes too early, your head, lower limbs, hands and throat will easily catch cold when the temperature changes, which will lead to diseases such as colds, tracheitis and arthritis.
Pregnant women:
Don't be too emotional.
In addition to maintaining psychological peace, we should learn to adjust bad emotions in time when God is hiding in it, and restore psychological peace as soon as possible when we are in a state of tension, excitement, anxiety and depression. At this time, we should restrain ourselves from being angry, depressed, open-minded, broad-minded, relaxed, comfortable and natural, and let our emotions "live". The effective way is to get more sunshine, which is a natural therapy to regulate the mood.
Precautions for health care in February
In this warm spring season in bloom, we should pay special attention to our own health, and the infirm, the elderly and children should prevent the illness from getting worse and prevent the recurrence of old diseases. Keep a good mood and avoid getting angry. Traditional Chinese medicine theory, anger hurts the liver, and anger must be avoided in spring health preservation. In spring, people often suffer from "spring sleep" and must not sleep too much. Long-term sleep will cause slow metabolism, poor blood circulation, stiff bones and muscles, fat accumulation, decreased absorption and oxygen carrying function, and toxins can not be excreted in time.
