What health knowledge do you need to know in cold season?

How much do you know about the great cold custom?

Although the weather is cold at this time, people can't resist the enthusiasm of "welcoming the New Year". People are busy buying New Year pictures, colored lights, firecrackers, incense, killing pigs, filling sausages and bacon, and preparing for the Spring Festival one after another.

It is a common scene in the severe cold season in Guangdong: every household cooks a pot of fragrant glutinous rice and mixes it with "bacon", dried shrimps, dried squid and mushrooms to welcome the coldest day in the traditional solar terms.

In Nanjing, the local people's daily diet is mainly stew and soup. The traditional diet custom of "19 1 chicken" is still respected by many families, either stewed alone or stewed with ginseng, medlar and auricularia auricula. Drinking chicken soup in cold winter is really a pleasure.

In the cold season, when the Yin Qi between heaven and earth reaches its acme, we should cultivate our temperament with more peace of mind, relax our spirit, keep our mood calm and comfortable, and prevent the six desires in our consciousness and the seven emotions in our minds from disturbing Yang Qi hidden in our bodies, so as to realize "righteousness exists in memory, and evil cannot be done"

Aspects of Great Cold Health Care

1. Life: Go to bed early and get up late.

It is particularly important to ensure adequate sleep time to obtain positive energy from Tiande during severe cold. Daily life should conform to the characteristics of seclusion in winter, so as to go to bed early and get up late. Going to bed early is to nourish the yang of the human body, and getting up late is to nourish the yin.

2, go out: cold wind.

"Cold, cold", hands and feet are easy to freeze in cold season, especially pay attention to cold and warmth, and wear hats, scarves and gloves when going out.

In the cold season, wind protection is also needed. "The head is the meeting of all yang", and the head is the gathering place of human yang. In the cold winter, blowing hair on the head can easily lead to the loss of yang, so in the coldest winter season, men, women and children must wear hats to protect their heads when going out.

3. Exercise: Exercise after sunrise

If you want to do outdoor sports in cold season, you'd better wait until sunrise before going out.

It's cold outside, so you can choose indoor sports. In the cold season, you can strengthen the cultivation of Taiji, and you can also do jogging, Tai Ji Chuan, Baduanjin, badminton and other physical exercises. The intensity of exercise should not be too intense, and then exercise after sweating, so as not to disturb the yang.

4, life: soaking feet before going to bed

Cold starts from feet, and cold starts from legs. When the legs and feet are cold, the whole body is cold.

"300 steps after a meal, a pot of soup before going to bed" is conducive to preventing frozen feet, disease prevention and health care.

Soaking feet before going to bed in cold season can well resist cold and disease. Chinese herbal medicines can be used to soak feet to dispel cold, dispel wind and dampness, and tonify yang. Especially those who love reading and writing at night and sit for a long time until late at night should soak their feet before going to bed.
