As the saying goes, "practice three nine in winter and three volts in summer", after the winter solstice, it will enter the cold weather of "counting nine". How to keep healthy scientifically in three or nine days? Simply do these three things, and you can spend a healthy winter!

Do three things well

1 "clothes" is not heavy.

For Chinese medicine practitioners who pay attention to "degree", it is best to wear warm and comfortable clothes in winter. Too thin clothes are prone to cold pathogens, and too thick clothes are prone to diarrhea (pore expansion) and cold pathogens.

If you sweat profusely in winter because you wear too much, it will not be worth the loss, because sweating will lead to the release of yang, allowing cold to take advantage of it, and the human body will naturally suffer from cold syndrome and appear a variety of discomfort symptoms.

Don't be greedy early in cold weather.

For people who like morning exercises, the morning in winter is not an ideal time, especially in the March 9 weather, when everything is alive and hidden in the cold climate, when the yang is lurking and the yin is prevalent.

The best time to go out for exercise is at noon, because the yang is at the peak of the day, and the human body's own yang has reached a relatively strong state in the day. Going out for a walk at this time is also the easiest to stimulate the yang of the human body. Make the joints and bones of the whole body get moderate exercise, which will promote the metabolism of the body and improve the disease resistance of the body.

3 Warming from the feet

Studies have shown that the foot is closely related to the mucosa of the upper respiratory tract. Once the feet catch cold, the human body's disease resistance will decline, and it is more likely to suffer from upper respiratory diseases such as colds and tracheitis.

In addition, it is easy to cause low back pain, stomach pain, male impotence, female dysmenorrhea and other symptoms.

Therefore, in winter, we should pay attention to the warmth and exercise of the feet, avoid sitting indoors for a long time, often stamp our feet to maintain a certain temperature, and choose the right shoes and socks, which is also very beneficial to the warmth of the feet. People with sweaty feet had better put insoles in their shoes, and shoes and socks that are wet in rain and snow should be replaced in time.

If your feet are cold, you can soak your feet in hot water, then gently massage or soak your feet with ginger, platycodon grandiflorum and pepper.

Eat three things well

1 mutton

Chinese medicine says to tonify the kidney in winter, because the kidney is the foundation of congenital. Tonifying the kidney can enhance our immunity and reduce the incidence in winter.

Mutton is an essential food in winter. Compendium of Materia Medica records that mutton can tonify the middle energizer, stimulate appetite and strengthen the body.

Mutton is hot, and people's yang is suppressed in winter. It can be supplemented by mutton, which can effectively improve the cold hands and feet.

2 radish

As the old saying goes, "Eating radish in winter and ginger in summer doesn't need a doctor's prescription".

Radish has a strong function of promoting qi circulation, contains a lot of water, is rich in nutrition, and can remove accumulated heat. Radish soup is the first choice for health preservation in winter.

In winter, the human body is prone to the situation that the yang is in the stomach and the stomach is irritable.

When heating, symptoms such as phlegm heat, cough, asthma and stomach discomfort are more likely to appear.

Eating more radishes in Sanjiu, warming the middle and strengthening the spleen, is of great benefit to the body. Children should especially eat more radishes in winter.

Many children will have symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection such as dry throat, sore throat and repeated cough when they catch a cold. Eating more white radish can moisten the throat, resolve phlegm and smooth the qi.

3 Chinese cabbages

As the saying goes, a hundred dishes are not as good as cabbage.

Cabbage contains a lot of crude fiber. Long-term consumption can enhance gastrointestinal capacity and promote digestion, especially in winter.

Moreover, Chinese cabbage is rich in vitamin C, which can maintain skin elasticity, prevent skin dryness and delay human aging.

Drink three kinds.

1 vegetarian soup

For normal people, vegetarian soup is a good thing to supplement nutrition in winter, and soup cooked with mushrooms, tofu and other things can also be comparable to broth.

For example, use bean sprouts, kelp, carrots, white radishes, tomatoes and Chinese cabbage to cook soup, and put all the raw materials in water to cook for about 1 hour. After all the vegetables are released, filter out the vegetable residue, and the rest is delicious vegetarian soup.

Sugao soup has a natural sweetness because of the addition of radish and cabbage; The addition of kelp can increase the freshness and make the soup thicken and look more viscous.

2 Drink black tea

You can drink black tea in moderation in winter. Black tea is mild in nature, mellow in taste and rich in flavonoids and potassium.

Flavonoids have strong antioxidant capacity, and potassium is beneficial to heart health care and has a certain effect on preventing stroke and heart disease.

Black tea is suitable for drinking in winter and mild for the stomach. It is made by fermentation and baking. Tea polyphenols are enzymatically oxidized by oxidase, which greatly reduces the stimulation to gastric mucosa.

Not only that, the oxidation products of these tea polyphenols can also promote gastrointestinal digestion. Therefore, black tea will not only hurt the stomach, but also nourish the stomach. Drink black tea while it is hot. It tastes good and warms the stomach.

3 yam porridge

There is a saying in Bao Puzi: "Winter is not empty, and summer is not full."

Eat hot porridge in the morning in winter, and it is not advisable to go out on an empty stomach to avoid catching cold and hurting your stomach.

Prepare 50 grams of yam, 30 grams of japonica rice, Euryale ferox 10 grams, and cook porridge.

Yam is a rare nourishing kidney food in winter. Its mucus has the functions of nourishing yin and tonifying kidney, consolidating body fluid and quenching thirst. It is especially suitable for middle-aged and elderly people with kidney-qi deficiency.

"Three nine make up one winter, and the next year will not hurt." It is very important to raise Sanjiu, so use it quickly!
