When beginning of winter arrives, the weather is getting colder and colder, and "keeping in good health" is becoming more and more important. "When people reach middle age, they still have to soak Chinese wolfberry in a thermos cup. It's hard to stop the years and add some angelica in the cup." ... Although there are many ridiculous ingredients in these words, I have to admit that "health preservation" has become one of the themes of this era.

Touliang

In Chinese medicine, "cold head is called warm" is an old saying. As early as the Tang Dynasty, Sun Simiao, a medical sage, pointed out that "you can't put a stove on your head". Chinese medicine believes that all yang meridians in the twelve meridians converge at the head, so "the head is the confluence of all yang" and "the house of clearing yang". Keep your head cool, and don't get close to the high temperature.

Chinese medicine believes that keeping the head cool can effectively improve sleep, which is the secret of health and longevity. After all, medicine is not as good as food, and food is not as good as sleep. However, keeping a cool head does not mean that the mind "faces the cold honestly". There is no conflict between proper warmth and cold head. At the same time, keeping the head cool can reduce the activity of cerebral cortex when falling asleep and avoid insomnia caused by brain excitement, thus making the human body enter a state of "easy to sleep and deep sleep".

Warm feet

"Heat is in the head and cold is in the feet". In traditional Chinese medicine, cold hands and feet is a kind of "closed disease", and "closed" is unreasonable. Long-term cold will lead to liver cold, affect hematopoietic function, lead to liver yang deficiency, decreased resistance, bacteria can take advantage of it.

Physical and mental health rules

The health of the human body cannot be achieved overnight, and a good attitude towards life and correct living habits are the key factors. Take the initiative to cool your head and warm your feet and stay healthy from now on!
