The arrival of the winter solstice solar terms is the time when Yin Qi rises and falls and Yang Qi begins to sprout.
Wang Qi, a master of traditional Chinese medicine and a tenured professor at Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, pointed out that the concept of TCM health care varies from time to time, from place to place and from person to person, and coordination and balance is the core concept of health care.
During the winter solstice, the temperature gradually drops, which opens a "cold day". Middle-aged and elderly friends should pay attention to warming yang and promoting blood circulation in health and disease prevention.
Professor Wang Qi made health suggestions from the following three aspects.

0 1 psychological adjustment
Individuals with a peaceful constitution tend to be cheerful and optimistic, because the viscera, yin and yang, qi and blood tend to be balanced and stable.
However, some middle-aged and elderly people are quiet and introverted and depressed; Others are upset, impatient, depressed and suspicious.
Both of them are prone to have bad mentality, which affects interpersonal communication and health.
Old people should actively adjust their emotions and constantly enrich their old age.
Make more friends, contact and communicate with people, learn to talk to friends and relatives, be broad-minded and open-minded, and replace sadness and depression with a cheerful mood.
You can listen to more music, choose some relaxed and festive music, or choose some beautiful and leisurely melodies and light music to express your feelings.
Peace of mind, cheerful spirit, harmony of qi and blood, and circulation of camp and health are conducive to health preservation.
Be careful of life.
People's life activities undergo corresponding physiological changes with natural laws such as annual rhythm, seasonal rhythm, monthly rhythm and daily rhythm. To achieve harmony between yin and yang, we must conform to and care for the four seasons.
Winter is cold, everything is hidden, so we should go to bed early and get up late, avoid the cold and keep warm, and adapt to the hidden atmosphere in winter.
Although it's cold in winter, we should insist on exercising, combining static and dynamic, and not be too comfortable.
When going out to exercise in winter, you should pay attention to keep warm, avoid excessive sweating, choose warm weather and suitable venues, and it is not suitable to go out to exercise in windy, foggy, rainy and snowy weather, nor to exercise in wet and cold places.
Often bask in the sun, so that the yang of human body is connected with the yang of heaven and earth.
The sun is strongest at noon, and noon in winter is the most precious time to bask in the sun.
Don't wear a hat when you are in the sun. Through Baihui point, the body can absorb yang.
Middle-aged and elderly people can also bask in the sun while holding half a fist and beating their kidneys to supplement the yang.
Make qi and blood meridians unobstructed, balance yin and yang, strengthen the body, and lay a solid foundation for next year's health.
Take care of your feet first. When you get old, your feet will surely fail first. Feet play an important role in health care, and the internal organs of the human body have corresponding projections on the feet. There are 12 meridians connecting human viscera, 6 of which originate from the foot, and there are more than 60 acupoints on the foot.
Western medicine research believes that the foot is the "second heart" of the human body, and there are countless nerve endings in the foot closely connected with the brain, which is closely related to human health.
If you can insist on washing your feet with hot water before going to bed, or stimulate the acupoints of your feet to promote blood circulation, you can dispel cold, dredge the meridians of your whole body, enhance your immunity and resistance, and have the effect of nourishing yang and strengthening your body.
When middle-aged and elderly people wash their feet, they should wash their feet with 40~50% water, and the amount of water should be submerged for ankle 15 minutes. At the same time, massage your feet slowly and continuously until you feel a slight fever in your feet.
If you add some yang-warming drugs to the water, such as Eucommia ulmoides, Dipsacus, Semen Cuscutae, etc. , the effect will be better.
03 diet aftercare
Freezing in cold, Yang storing, Yin full, gas reservoir of all things, fine storage.
Middle-aged and elderly people should pay attention to keep warm in winter, and choose products that help yang to dispel cold, such as ginger, cinnamon, pepper, mutton and beef.
Ginger has obvious warming yang effect. There is no harm in eating ginger regularly, and health care cannot be separated from ginger.
Doctors and folk proverbs say, "Don't panic when you have ginger at home", and "Eating radish in winter and ginger in summer doesn't bother doctors to prescribe medicine".
Middle-aged and elderly people can put ginger, chew ginger and slice ginger on their navel when cooking. The famous prescription "Danggui Ginger Mutton Soup" by Zhang Zhongjing, a medical sage, has good effects of warming the middle warmer, dispelling cold, enriching blood and benefiting qi, and is especially suitable for people with yang deficiency in winter.
The specific method is: take 20 grams of Angelica sinensis, 30 grams of ginger and 500 grams of mutton, wash Angelica sinensis and ginger, soak them in clear water, cut into pieces, remove the fascia from the mutton, blanch it in a boiling water pot, remove the blood, and then take out the slices. Then put Angelica sinensis, ginger and mutton into a casserole, add water, cooking wine and salt, boil with strong fire, skim off the floating foam, and stew with low fire until the mutton is cooked and rotten.
People who are cold in the lower energizer and afraid of cold and wind in the waist and knees can also cook leeks with walnuts, 50 grams of walnuts and 200 grams of leeks.
Professor Wang Qi added that the constitution formed by congenital genetic factors is the basis of a person's lifelong constitution, but the physical characteristics determined by congenital factors will gradually change under the comprehensive effect of acquired factors.
Proper adjustment can make up for the congenital deficiency and make the physique from weak to strong; Improper adjustment will make people's physique from strong to weak due to excessive wear and tear, although they are endowed with enough innate endowment.
Therefore, health care can't wait. We should carry out the awareness of health care into every detail of daily life and persevere in it, so as to achieve the goal of health and longevity.
