Of course, in addition to a certain diet conditioning, one's own exercise is also indispensable, so to achieve the effect of keeping in good health in winter, in addition to diet closeness, we should also combine other aspects, as described below.
Personal health care: Huangdi Neijing pointed out: "Get up early and get up late to wait for the sun." It means to go to bed early and get up late in winter, and it is better to get up after the sun comes out (especially for the elderly). Pay attention to the following points in daily life in winter: First of all, we should talk about "clothing climate" when dressing, that is, the temperature between the inner layer of clothes and the skin should always be kept at 32℃ ~ 33℃. This ideal "clothing climate" can buffer the invasion of cold climate on human body. Secondly, pay attention to the warmth of your feet. Because the foot is farthest from the heart, the blood supply is small and slow, so the skin temperature of the foot is the lowest. Chinese medicine believes that cold feet will inevitably affect internal organs, which can lead to diarrhea, irregular menstruation, impotence, low back pain and other diseases. Third, opening windows regularly in winter is good for your health. Fourth, it is not advisable to sleep with your head covered. Sleeping with your head covered in winter is extremely suitable for chest tightness and shortness of breath caused by lack of oxygen. Fifth, avoid urinating at night. Because of the long winter night, holding urine for a long time will accumulate toxic substances, causing cystitis and urethritis.
Exercise strengthens the body: As the saying goes: "Exercise more in winter and get sick less; Lazy in winter, drink a bowl of medicine. "Facts have proved that participating in outdoor activities in winter can make the body get appropriate cold stimulation, accelerate the heart beating, deepen breathing, strengthen metabolism in the body, increase the heat generated by the body, and be beneficial to health.
