It is most important to slow down winter and gather yang.
Winter is the heaviest season in Yin Qi with cold weather and zero vegetation. People's health care often pays attention to the principle of "correspondence between man and nature" and pays attention to the correspondence between time and dirty, so the purpose of health care in winter is to gather yang and protect yin. Make the two in harmony.

Personal health care Huangdi Neijing says: "Go to bed early and get up late to wait for the sun", which means going to bed early and get up late in winter. This is especially true for middle-aged and elderly people. Pay attention to the winter health of middle-aged and elderly people.

Dressing: The temperature between the inner layer of clothes and the skin should always be kept at 32 to 33 degrees Celsius. This ideal clothing climate can buffer the invasion of cold climate on human body.

Warm feet: the feet are farthest from the heart, so the blood supply is slow, and the temperature of the feet is easy to be very low and cold. Cold feet will affect internal organs and cause a lot of physical discomfort. Therefore, middle-aged and elderly people should pay special attention to the warmth of their feet in winter, and they can soak their feet with hot water.

In terms of diet, the weather is cold in winter, and the diet is mainly "Tibetan fever". Therefore, it is suitable for eating mutton, dog meat, goose, radish, walnuts and other hot foods. At the same time, we should follow the principle of "eating less salty and suffering more" to help the heart yang. Avoid eating sticky and cold negative food in winter, which will damage the yang.

In sports, the so-called "food supplement is not like invigorating qi", life lies in sports, good health comes from sports, and sports is more important to persist. Therefore, even if the weather is getting colder and colder, we should continue to exercise, but we need to pay more attention during the exercise to prevent injuries.

In life, there are many sports suitable for middle-aged and elderly people, such as walking backwards, playing Tai Chi, jogging, walking, ball games, skipping rope and water skiing.

At the same time, the days are short and the nights are long in winter, and the sunshine is weak. Therefore, it is more necessary to increase the time of outdoor activities to supplement the sunshine. Moreover, activities in cold air can also enhance the neuromodulation function and improve people's hematopoietic function and physical resistance.

However, we should also pay attention not to exercise too vigorously, and limit ourselves to the range that our physical ability can bear. Excessive exercise can not only achieve the effect of keeping fit, but also may lead to physical injury. Moreover, if you sweat too much, it is easy to cause a cold.

Finally, it is necessary to choose good weather for exercise and avoid exercising in bad weather such as strong wind, fog, rain and snow.

Mental conditioning About the mental conditioning of middle-aged and elderly people, apart from mental tranquility, the most important thing is to know how to control one's emotions and adjust one's mentality. A good attitude will bring people good health, and even avoid and alleviate some diseases. At the same time, seasonal affective disorder should be prevented in winter. The best prevention method is to spend more time in the sun and extend the light time.

Proverbs of filial piety: The so-called seasonal affective disorder refers to the phenomenon that some people are prone to depression, laziness, lethargy and groggy in winter, and it appears every year. Therefore, as a child, we should observe our parents more so as to find abnormalities in time. Once the symptoms are found, we should find ways to solve them as soon as possible so as not to aggravate the condition.
