Winter storage does not mean that you can't do any exercise in winter. As the saying goes, exercise more and get sick less in winter. Lazy in winter, drink a bowl of medicine. Proper exercise, such as walking and jogging, will make the body sweat slightly, make the qi and blood calm without stopping, and make the yin and yang more harmonious, thus avoiding symptoms such as fatigue, laziness and drowsiness due to closed hiding and less exercise.
In winter, the weather is freezing, the north wind is cold, flowers and trees are withered, insects are dormant, and all the creatures in nature are hibernating. This is the season to harvest everything. Man is one of the creatures in nature. Traditional Chinese medicine advocates the unity of heaven and man, corresponding to nature, and rising and falling with everything, that is, the history book says: "Spring gives birth to summer, autumn harvests winter, which is also a great lesson in nature." From the perspective of modern science, the human body is composed of nearly 100 trillion cells. In cold winter, the activity and metabolic level of each cell will decrease. The overall metabolism of the human body is also at a relatively slow level. The whole person should be quiet, calm and restrained. Just like alfalfa plants and hibernating animals, if they conform to the laws of nature, they can get help from nature, and then they can use the power of nature to get rid of diseases and keep fit, spend the winter in a "closed" way, and let our bodies better store energy in order to grow better next spring.
The so-called hiding is the "yang" of hiding. Simply put, Yang is "the heat energy of the body" and "the motive force of life". In winter, the sun's spirit converges and hides deep in the body. Tibetan yang is a collection, which makes it relatively balanced. Therefore, the requirement of winter health care in daily life is "don't disturb the sun, lie down early and get up late, and wait for the sun". "Early to bed and late to get up" here should be that the sun goes down to sleep and the sun comes out to get up, which is completely possible for the ancients without electricity. But it is very difficult for people nowadays, because everyone has to go to work early in the morning and get off work late, watch TV, surf the Internet, have various social activities and have rich nightlife. This modern lifestyle is more likely to disturb and damage the hidden and restrained yang in winter.
