Winter health should follow the following points:
1, eat more cold food and increase the production of hot nutrients.
The cold winter makes people feel unwell because of the cold, and they are particularly afraid of the cold because of the weak yang in the body. In winter, we should properly eat food with cold-proof function to keep warm and recuperate, warm and nourish the whole body tissues, enhance physical fitness, promote metabolism, improve the cold-proof ability of human body, maintain and ensure the normal function of body tissues, resist exogenous pathogens and reduce the occurrence of diseases. Chinese medicine believes that we should eat more warm food in winter. Mutton, dog meat, turtle, sparrow, shrimp, pigeon, quail, sea cucumber, medlar, leek, walnut and glutinous rice are the top grades.
The winter climate is cold, and the body consumes more energy to adapt to the cold environment, so it is necessary to increase the intake of thermogenic nutrients. Thermogenic nutrients mainly refer to protein, fat and carbohydrates. Eat more foods rich in these three nutrients, increase the intake of some high-fat foods, eat a little more fat in moderation, and put more cooking oil when cooking.
2, vitamins can not be less
The cold climate has strengthened the oxidation and heat production of human body, and the vitamin metabolism of human body has also changed obviously. Increase the intake of vitamin A and enhance the cold tolerance of human body. Increase the intake of vitamin C, improve the adaptability of human body to cold, and have a good protective effect on blood vessels. Vitamin A mainly comes from animal liver, carrots, dark green vegetables and other foods, and vitamin C mainly comes from fresh fruits and vegetables and other foods.
3, keep yin essence and less sweat
Less winter belongs to yin, mainly to protect yin essence, and less body fluid should be discharged. Therefore, it is necessary to "dispel the cold and warm up" in winter to prevent the cold from invading. But don't warm up suddenly and violently, especially avoid thick clothes and fur, getting drunk with fire, roasting your abdomen and back, and suddenly warming up and sweating.
4. Fitness should be healthy.
Healthy feet are fitness. People must always keep their feet clean and dry, wash their socks frequently, and massage and stimulate the acupoints when washing their feet with warm water every day. Walk for more than half an hour every day to exercise your feet. Stick to rubbing the soles of your feet in the morning and evening to promote blood circulation. In addition, it is also important to choose a pair of comfortable, warm, light and hygroscopic shoes.
5, beware of lesions
The winter climate induces the recurrence or aggravation of chronic diseases, and the cold will also stimulate the occurrence of myocardial infarction and stroke, which will increase blood pressure and aggravate symptoms such as ulcers, rheumatism and glaucoma. Patients should pay attention to cold and warmth, prevent the adverse stimulation of strong wind and cooling weather to the body, and prepare first-aid drugs. Also pay attention to cold-resistant exercise, improve the ability to keep out cold and disease, and prevent respiratory diseases.
6, hydrating, minerals should be appropriate.
Although sweating and urination decrease in winter, cells in the brain and body organs still need water to nourish them to ensure normal metabolism. In winter, the daily hydration is generally not less than 2000 ~ 3000 ml.
People's fear of cold is also related to the quality of minerals ingested by the body. For example, the content of calcium in human body can directly affect the flexibility and excitability of human heart, blood vessels and muscles, and calcium supplementation can
