Pay attention to the convergence of yang in early winter and hide it to keep out the cold. So, how to maintain health in early winter? I will introduce the following related knowledge to you, hoping it will be useful to you!

How to keep fit in early winter

First, diet: light diet, eat more foods that promote fluid production and nourish yin.

In autumn and winter, we should first keep a light diet, avoid heavy oil and greasy food, and reduce the burden on the stomach. In addition, eat more foods rich in vitamins and high fiber, such as vegetables, fruits, beans, potatoes, etc., to eliminate the metabolites accumulated in the body during fatigue. Eat more foods containing potassium, such as dried fruits, beans, seafood, etc., to maintain cell moisture and enhance its activity. Besides, we should eat caffeinated food, such as tea.

Diet and health care in early winter should be "flat". Suitable foods are pears, apples, olives, ginkgo, onions, mustard greens and so on. These foods have the effects of promoting fluid production, moistening dryness, clearing away heat and resolving phlegm, relieving cough and asthma, and tonifying kidney and lung. At this time, you should eat less raw and cold food, such as sea fish, shrimp and all kinds of cold drinks. , so as not to hurt the lungs and cause disease. Eat less cold and hard food, avoid strong * *, overeating, and pay attention to keeping your stomach warm. In addition, you can eat more food such as lily, honey, jujube, sesame and walnut, which is also very healthy.

The drier the weather is, the more I like to eat beef and mutton to keep out the cold. But beef and mutton are warm ingredients, plus spicy ingredients such as onion, ginger, garlic and pepper, and tonics such as cinnamon, ginger, medlar and angelica. Eating too much will only "exhaust and fish" and it is more likely to cause "getting angry". Therefore, on the second day after tonic, there will generally be "fire signals" such as dry mouth, dry cough and even itchy face. It is suggested that people who are prone to get angry choose tonics that nourish yin and moisten dryness.

Second, dressing: follow the principle of "thick outside and thin inside"

Now some people wear T-shirts and some people wear cotton-padded clothes, which makes people feel "I don't know how to wear them", but if you don't pay attention to them, you will easily get sick. Wearing clothes in autumn and winter should follow the principle of "thick outside and thin inside"

"Outer thickness" means that it is best to wear clothes with good warmth and strong wind resistance for the outermost coat, which has good cold-proof effect. "Thin inside" means that the clothes worn inside the coat should be moderately thin, neither too cold nor too hot, so that you can take off your coat when you enter some rooms with air conditioning and heating. Avoid sweating because of heat, and being blown by cold wind when going out, causing a cold. "Multi-layer" means that you can wear more layers inside the coat, such as sweaters, shirts, short sleeves and so on. Wear more when it's cold, and take off one when it's hot to avoid being hot and cold.

Wear proper shoes and socks to keep your feet warm. The size of shoes should be slightly larger, and it is best to pad a pair of cotton insoles, which should have a certain space for feet. Secondly, the sole should be slightly higher, so as to keep out the cold. It is best to soak your feet with warm water every day in winter, walk for more than half an hour, and rub your feet in the morning and evening.

Third, daily life: go to bed early and get up late, pay attention to moisturizing.

Winter is the season when plants wither and everything hides. The human body should also reduce its activities appropriately with the changes of nature, so as not to disturb the sun be the spirit and damage * * *. Especially for the elderly, the body yang is not abundant, so they should go to bed early and get up late, which is conducive to hiding yang and saving. Insufficient or too long sleep time will lead to listlessness and lethargy, which will affect normal metabolic function. Old people only need to go to bed earlier 1 ~ 2 hours and get up late 1 ~ 2 hours in winter than in other seasons.

What should we pay attention to in early winter health care?

1, pay attention to skin moisturizing.

In cold winter, due to the dry and cold climate, the blood vessels in human epidermis will contract to reduce the loss of heat, but it will also slow down the blood circulation in the panel layer, reduce the functions of sebaceous glands and sweat glands, and greatly reduce the moisture and fat content on the skin surface. If the cold wind blows, the resistance of the panel will be greatly weakened. Therefore, the panels in winter are easy to become dry, rough, sensitive and even chapped. In terms of diet, you can eat more foods containing mucus, such as honey, sea cucumber, fungus, pears, tendons and so on. In order to increase the colloid content in blood and increase the storage of water in cells.

Step 2 prevent colds

In early winter, the temperature began to change from warm to cold, people were not used to it, and the incidence of colds was high. Due to the extremely low temperature in the morning, we should pay attention to going to bed early and getting up late in life to avoid catching cold. For people who are prone to catch a cold, three onions and 200 grams of garlic can be decocted with water to prevent colds.

Step 3 prescribe diet

In early winter, the temperature drops, everything is sealed and the vitality drops. At this time, it is a good season for tonic. China has always had the custom of tonic in winter, and people are more and more aware that "medicine tonic is not as good as food tonic". In winter, you can add some thick food, such as stewed meat, stewed fish, hot pot and so on.

People are afraid of cold in winter, which is related to the lack of some inorganic salts in the body besides the cold weather outside. Vegetables, especially the old leaves, yellow leaves, roots and skins of vegetables are rich in inorganic salts. Do not remove these beneficial parts when eating. Iron deficiency in human body makes people feel cold. At this time, you can eat some foods rich in iron, such as liver, lean meat, egg yolk, black fungus, black sesame, fragrant blood glutinous rice, sea cucumber and so on. Fresh vegetables mixed with meat have better cold-proof effect. In winter, due to the dry weather, people's mouths, noses, panels and other parts often appear different degrees of dryness. At this time, they should eat more moist and juicy.

Lily, tremella, yam, autumn pear, lotus root and other foods. Eat less spicy and fried food.

Step 4 get more sunshine

In winter, cold evil is the most rampant and likes to hurt people secretly. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that cold is yin evil, which is easy to hurt Yang Qi. This sun is like the sun in the sky, giving people light and nourishing everything. Without yang, the human body will lose the vitality of metabolism, and its constitution will become weaker and weaker, and it will become more and more afraid of cold. People will also become slow and procrastinating. If you find yourself in this state recently, you should pay attention to it. It is your lack of yang. Therefore, Chinese medicine teaches us to pay attention to sealing Tibet in winter to nourish yang.

Man and nature are interlinked, and proper sunshine is the best way to benefit. The natural law of winter is that yin flourishes while yang declines, so we should get more sunshine to strengthen yang and warm collaterals. Enough sun be the spirit, the warmth of Yang Yang not only dispelled the haze in my heart, but also drove away the disease. This method is the "mystery of negative sun" advocated by Liezi, that is, sitting with his back to the sun. Because the head is the meeting of the sun, it is not suitable to face the sun directly, so as to avoid excessive yang, so the back is the most suitable. Back to the sun, close your eyes and do dozens of abdominal breaths, which is the first way to replenish yang in winter.

5. Pay attention to nourishing the kidney

In winter, the yang of human body gathers, the qi and blood tend to flow inward, the panel is dense, and the water is not easy to leak from the body surface. However, after the kidney and bladder are gasified, a small part of them become body fluid and spread all over the body, and most of them differentiate into water, and urine is poured into the bladder, which invisibly increases the burden on the kidney and easily leads to nephritis, enuresis, urinary incontinence, edema and other diseases. Therefore, winter health care should pay attention to the maintenance of kidneys.

6. Regulate emotions

In winter, you should be good at adjusting your mood and nourishing your spirit. The key to adjust our mood is to master the characteristics of "hiding the gods" in winter, and the spirit should be hidden in the spirit. The so-called god hiding inside means paying attention to and maintaining emotional peace, adjusting bad emotions in time, maintaining a calm mind, ensuring that the normal physiology of Yang hiding in winter is not disturbed and has a good influence on human viscera. It's actually a tonic.

7. Proper exercise

Although the early winter has begun to make people feel cold, proper physical exercise is of great benefit to our health. Of course, winter exercise and summer exercise should be different. Because of the cold weather, if you choose too intense antagonistic exercise, you will be easily injured. Not only can you not benefit from physical exercise, but it will also affect your work, which will not pay off. So choose some aerobic exercise to exercise your cardiopulmonary function in winter. Sports to enhance physical fitness, such as long-distance running, aerobics, swimming, skating, etc. In winter, some sentimental people tend to become depressed, sad and negative. To prevent this, first of all, don't always be locked in the room alone. You should take part in some wholesome recreational activities, such as dancing, singing and listening to music. You can also chat with friends more, which will make people forget their troubles and become comfortable and refreshed. Besides, we should go for a walk in nature more often. Fresh air can not only enhance the function of human breathing and blood circulation, but also regulate and soothe the nervous system, thus eliminating annoying autumn worries.

8. Go to bed early and get up late

When the weather gets cold, people's yang will gradually converge. If we still lack sleep at this time, it will not only lead to listlessness, but also make our body's metabolic function abnormal. Therefore, in winter, it is necessary to appropriately extend the sleep time of 1 to 2 hours, so that the body can get sufficient rest. Only adequate sleep can help us relieve fatigue and improve our body's resistance.

9. Live cautiously

It is cold in winter, and some people like to close the doors and windows or sleep with their heads covered. This is a very bad habit. In addition to opening doors and windows to allow air convection during the day, small transoms should be opened for ventilation at night. Human cells secrete high concentration of cyclic adenosine monophosphate during the day, which can enhance cell function; Secreting high concentration of cyclic guanosine phosphate at night can weaken and inhibit cell function. In the middle of the night, the human body's resistance drops, so it is necessary to strengthen the monitoring of the weak and sick, observe whether the breathing and pulse are normal, so as to take timely measures for treatment.

In addition, the incidence of cerebrovascular diseases is high in early winter, and it often occurs after long-term sleep. This is because the blood flow slows down during sleep and it is easy to form a thrombus. So it is not appropriate to get up too fast and too fast. You can rest in bed for a few minutes to stretch your muscles and bones, which is of great significance to prevent thrombosis.
