The winter solstice is a very important solar term in the China lunar calendar. The solstice in winter is also a good opportunity for health preservation. Because "Qi originates from the solar term from winter to the sun", at this time, the life movement of the human body gradually turns from prosperity to decline, from dynamic to static.

How to keep in good health from winter solstice, what should I pay attention to? First, pay attention to diet and daily life.

In winter solstice season, we can go to bed early and get up late, and then gradually start theme activities after the sun comes out. From the point of view of Chinese medicine, going to bed early and getting up early can store yang and keep the human body in a damp and hot state. Sleeping late can tonify yang, especially for the elderly. It is not recommended to wake up too early.

At the same time, due to the cold in most areas, it is also necessary to pay attention to wearing close-fitting cold-proof and warm clothes to resist the erosion of the cold. In addition, you can take a lunch break at noon, which can overcome your maintenance arrogance and arrange your time reasonably to achieve the goal of health and wellness.

Second, protect the five major parts.

Cold temperatures will affect the neck, shoulders, abdomen, knees and feet, and it is very easy to cause pain in the cervical spine, waist and knees. Therefore, it is recommended to wear high-necked clothes, trousers and scarves when going out. You don't have to show your shoulders when you sleep to avoid catching cold. People with poor waist and knees can wear waist pads or exercise knee pads, and they can also soak their feet with warm water before going to bed.

Third, keep indoor ventilation.

The weather is cold and the temperature is not high. Many people close the doors and windows to keep warm when they are in the room. In fact, such behavior is unreasonable. If people stay in a room without natural ventilation for a long time, the carbon dioxide in the room will increase. Under this condition, they will also feel dizzy and lose appetite, which is not good for their health. In the winter solstice season, it is suggested that we open the windows as much as possible to ensure the fresh indoor air quality.

Fourth, the exercise time is chosen at three or four in the afternoon.

If you want to exercise in winter, you can choose 3 or 4 o'clock in the afternoon, but it is not suitable for strenuous exercise to prevent excessive sweating and damage the yang. Do a refreshing exercise, drink plenty of water, and take a bath after half an hour of exercise. For the elderly with chronic diseases, if they feel uncomfortable during exercise, they should stop exercising immediately and seek medical advice immediately.

Five, it is important to raise Tibet, and it is not appropriate to eat too much.

During the winter solstice and solar terms, you can choose your own recipes according to your physique. However, it should be noted that the diet should be based on tonic, not suitable for excessively spicy food. Because the weather is dry in winter, it is easy to get angry if you take too many new and popular products. Diet can increase the intake of high-protein food, such as stewed carrots with mutton, or eat more chicken breast, beef and mutton, raw pork and so on.
