In beginning of winter, there was a folk custom of making up for winter. After beginning of winter, the weather tends to be cold to resist the cold in winter. At this time, we should make up for it and replenish our vitality. Beginning of winter's diet should follow the principle of storing Yang and be based on "storing". Specifically, at the beginning of winter, the heart and lungs are weak and the kidneys are strong, so it is necessary to reduce the hard food in the diet to nourish the kidneys. At the same time, eat less cold food, you can eat more high-calorie food, but it is not suitable for hot and dry. In addition, eat more vegetables in winter to supplement the human body's demand for vitamins, such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, white radishes, rape and so on.

In winter, people begin to nourish their bodies, but we should be careful not to blindly "tonic". Diet recuperation should follow the principles of "nourishing yin in autumn and winter" and "tonifying deficiency and warming cold". When making supplements, in order to adapt the stomach to the process, it is best to introduce supplements, such as stewed beef and red dates, brown sugar boiled peanuts, ginger and red dates beef soup and so on. It is not too late to regulate the spleen and stomach function before "tonic".

What beginning of winter eats should also consider one's age, sex and physical condition. According to the theory of TCM health preservation, young people should be reared, middle-aged people should be re-adjusted, old people should be re-insured, and old people should be postponed. In short, tonic should be based on the actual situation to choose clear tonic, warm tonic, small tonic, big tonic, rather than blindly "tonic."
