First, the spirit of aftercare
In order to ensure that the normal physiology of yang in winter is not disturbed, it is first required to be quiet. To this end, "Su Wen?" Four people tune "Spirit" in winter and March, which is a closed hiding place ... If ambition is hidden. If you have a private intention, if you have, "said. It means that you must control your emotional activities if you want to be quiet. As secret as other people's privacy, as satisfied as getting a treasure. If it is, it is "don't disturb the sun be the spirit", save your strength, which is conducive to the emergence of the sun be the spirit next spring.
Second, daily aftercare
Living and working in winter, the proposition of TCM health preservation, such as "Su Wen's" Four Qi Tiaoling "says:" In winter and March, this is a closed Tibet. Water and ice are frozen, without the interference of the sun; Get up early and go to bed late, and wait for the sun. ..... When the cold dissipates, it will warm up, and there will be no skin leakage, so the gas will be caught. This winter air should be the way to raise Tibet. " "Give the party one thousand dollars? Daolin's cultivation also said: "In winter, the world is closed and blood is stored. People should not sweat and vent yang, which is harmful to people." In the cold winter, don't disturb the yang spirit and destroy the physiological proportion of yin becoming yang. Therefore, it is necessary to go to bed early and get up late, and do it at sunrise to ensure adequate sleep time, which is conducive to the accumulation of hidden yang and yin essence. As for cold and warmth, it must also be properly kept in accordance with the principle of "not disturbing the sun". Too few clothes are too thin, and the room temperature is too low, which not only consumes yang, but also easily catches a cold. On the other hand, if the clothes are too thick and the room temperature is too high, the yang can't be hidden, and cold pathogens can easily invade. "Su Wen? The golden chamber said, "The husband is refined, and the body is also fundamental, so he hides in the essence and does not get sick in spring. "It shows that it is of great significance to control sexual intercourse in winter and nourish and preserve semen in spring to prevent fever.
Third, drink real aftercare.
For normal people, the winter diet should follow the principles of "nourishing yin in autumn and winter" and "not disturbing the yang". It is neither too cold nor too hot, and it is best to eat a diet that nourishes yin and hides yang and has high calories. In order to avoid vitamin deficiency, we should eat fresh vegetables. Judging from the relationship between the five flavors and the five internal organs, it is like "Su Wen? On the method of storing qi, the kidney governs winter ... If the kidney wants to be strong, it will eat bitterness in a hurry, supplemented by bitterness, and salty diarrhea will be strong. " This is because the sun is weak in winter, the reason is blocked, and there is less sweating. Reducing salt intake can reduce the burden on the kidney, and increasing bitterness can strengthen the kidney and nourish the heart.
Specifically, in winter, in order to nourish yin and hide yang, we should eat cereals, mutton, soft-shelled turtle, fungus and other foods, and eat hot food to protect yang. Since winter is more important than raising "hiding", this time is the best time to make up for it.
Fourth, exercise recuperation.
"Move in winter and get sick less; Lazy in winter, drink a bowl of medicine. " This folk proverb illustrates the importance of winter exercise.
Although it is cold in winter, we should continue to exercise ourselves, but we should avoid exercising in strong winds, severe cold, heavy snow and fog. It must also be pointed out that in winter morning, due to the influence of cold and high pressure, inversion often occurs, that is, the upper air temperature is high and the ground temperature is low, the convection activity in the atmosphere stops, and the exhaust gas discharged from factories, domestic stoves and so on. It can't spread into the atmosphere, which makes the outdoor air quite dirty and greatly reduces the visibility. Outdoor exercise is better than indoor exercise when there is an inversion in the morning.
V. Disease Prevention and Health Care
Winter is the best time to nourish and strengthen the body. There are two tonic methods: one is food tonic and the other is medicine tonic. Compared with them, "medicine is better than food." Whether it is food supplement or medicine supplement, it should be treated separately according to physical condition, age, gender and other specific conditions, and it will be effective if it is targeted. For details, please refer to the relevant chapters such as "Medication Health Care" and "Physical Health Care".
In winter, measles, diphtheria, influenza, mumps and other diseases are prone to occur. Besides paying attention to mental exercise and diet, Chinese medicine can also be used for prevention. For example, Radix Isatidis and Isatis indigotica have preventive effects on influenza, measles and mumps. Scutellaria baicalensis can prevent scarlet fever; Orchid and houttuynia cordata can prevent whooping cough; Achyranthes bidentata can prevent diphtheria These methods are simple and effective and can be used as appropriate.
Cold in winter often induces chronic diseases, such as bronchial asthma and chronic bronchitis. Cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular disease and arthralgia are also aggravated by cold. Therefore, it is very important to protect yourself from the sun and the cold. At the same time, we should also pay attention to the health care of the face and limbs to prevent frostbite.
