Winter is a cold season. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that winter tonic is closely related to balancing yin and yang, dredging meridians and harmonizing qi and blood. Due to the decline of physical function and low resistance, it is more appropriate for the elderly to take supplements in cold seasons. This can improve the nutritional status, enhance the immune function of the body, promote the recovery of the sick body and so on, showing the irreplaceable role of drugs.
Tonifying in winter should conform to nature, pay attention to nourishing yang and give priority to nourishing. According to the principle of "deficiency is tonic, cold is warm" in traditional Chinese medicine, we should eat more warm food, especially warm and kidney-yang food, in order to improve the cold tolerance of the body. In winter, "food supplement" should provide food rich in protein, vitamins and easy to digest. Optional food: cereals such as japonica rice, indica rice, corn, wheat, soybeans and peas; Leek, coriander, garlic, radish, day lily and other vegetables; Mutton, dog meat, beef, chicken, eel, carp, silver carp, hairtail, shrimp and other meats; Oranges, coconuts, pineapples, lychees, longan and other fruits. Dog meat and mutton are the best tonic for the elderly in winter. Old people take 1 small glass of ginseng wine or astragalus wine every morning, which can prevent cold and promote blood circulation. Older people with weak physique often eat stewed chicken, lean meat and tendons in winter, and often drink milk and soybean milk, which can enhance their physique. Cutting beef into small pieces, adding yellow wine, onion and ginger, stewing in casserole, eating meat and drinking soup have the effects of invigorating qi, quenching thirst, strengthening tendons and bones and nourishing spleen and stomach. Old people who are deficient in Yang Can boil mutton and radish together, then remove the radish (that is, remove the fishy smell of mutton), add Cistanche deserticola 15g, Morinda officinalis 15g and Lycium barbarum 15g, and eat mutton and soup together, which has the function of strengthening yang and warming the body. Modern medicine believes that winter tonic can improve human immune function, promote metabolism and improve the phenomenon of chills. Tonifying in winter can also regulate the metabolism of substances in the body, so that the energy converted from nutrients can be stored in the body to the maximum extent, which is helpful to the rise of yang in the body and lays a good foundation for health in the coming year. As the saying goes, "September makes up for a winter, and the next year is disease-free", which is the truth.
