White-collar winter health knowledge
1, wear shoes in winter
White-collar workers always wear shoes in winter and wrap their feet tightly for fear of freezing, but this is not conducive to keeping warm. If you want to keep your feet warm in winter, don't wear too thick shoes and socks, don't tie your shoelaces too tightly, and you'd better pad an insole. Wear shoes in winter, preferably a bigger size, so that your ankles can move freely. Adding a pair of shoe pads can not only keep the environment inside the shoes dry and clean, but also help keep the feet warm.
The indoor temperature is high in winter. If the shoes and socks are too thick and tight, it is easy to sweat. If foot sweat is not released in time, it will be absorbed by shoes and socks, which will not only breed bacteria and cause beriberi, but also make feet feel colder when the humidity in the shoes is cold at outdoor low temperature. Too tightly wrapped shoes and socks will affect the blood circulation of both feet, which is also the reason why the body feels not warm.
It is best to change insoles and socks every day, and put the replaced insoles in a ventilated place to dry in time. If the insole is thin, damaged or wrinkled, it should be replaced. Shoe insole, if you feel the shoes are too tight, your feet will be red, swollen and blistered. Replace the insole in time after wearing it.
2. Keep warm in winter
Although heating and air conditioning are very common now, we should not ignore the role of hot water bottles.
① There are six meridians of spleen, liver, kidney, stomach, gallbladder and bladder, and there are more than 60 acupoints on the feet. Hot compress on feet can also dredge meridians, activate acupoints, and finally achieve the effect of warming up. The water temperature in the hot water bottle should not be too high, generally 60℃-70℃ is appropriate. Be sure to check the tightness of the plug before use, and it is best to wrap it with a towel before use.
② The bladder meridian runs along the back, mainly on the whole body surface. When exogenous pathogens invade, it will cause aversion to cold, fever and nasal congestion. However, the Du meridian is in charge of the Yang of the whole body. Once attacked, the yang will be weak and the resistance will be low. The lung points on the back have the function of treating lung qi failure. Applying a hot water bag on the back can not only make the bladder meridian and Du meridian work normally, but also make the lung acupoints stand guard actively, which is beneficial to relieving cough, treating colds and improving resistance. The hot water bottle is filled with hot water and wrapped with a thin towel or cloth for external use, which can dilate blood vessels in respiratory tract, trachea, lungs and other parts and accelerate blood circulation.
③ Neck tranquilization, mainly used for insomnia and dizziness. Put the hot water bottle on your back neck before going to bed, and you will feel gentle and comfortable. First your hands will get hot, and then your feet will feel warm, which can play a hypnotic role. Applying a hot water bottle to the neck can also act as Dazhui point, which also has a good effect on the treatment of cervical spondylosis.
3. Winter diet
Dry indoor air in early winter makes people angry, so you can eat more white food. Chinese medicine believes that the method of moistening dryness is used to relieve dryness and heat. According to the principle of five elements and five colors, white food can best prevent dryness and heat.
When cooking, you can choose white radish, cabbage, wax gourd, lily, tremella, lotus root and so on. Among them, Chinese cabbage and radish are the most effective and economical supplements, but people with cold stomach should eat less in winter. Eat more beef and mutton to keep out the cold.
