The twelfth lunar month has arrived; The cold is worse. Reminder: please do a good job of "three zang and three defenses" to prevent yang from getting sick.

It's the twelfth month. It is said that the twelfth lunar month is the coldest month of the year. If you can't keep warm, you will be easily attacked by the cold outside, and you will easily catch a cold and have a fever. Especially in hospitals, you will find that the sick people are mostly children or middle-aged and elderly people. The main reason is that the yang in the body is insufficient and the cold enters the human body. Therefore, in the twelfth lunar month, it is best to grow and preserve the yang to reduce the diseases caused by severe cold.

In winter in ancient China, it is necessary to do a good job of "three zang and three defenses", which can not only reduce the cold in the body, but also prevent the cold in the air from entering the human body and causing diseases. So what is this "three zang and three defenses"? Let's take a look today.

One of Sanzang: Zang Yang Qi

As we all know, since beginning of winter, I have been on a "distant date". At this time, the time when the sun appears begins to decrease slowly, and the twelfth lunar month is almost the shortest period in a year. At this time, we should "go to bed early and get up late" and try to get up after the sun appears, so as to reduce the cold in the air from entering the human body, especially the middle-aged and elderly people. We must get more sunshine and better gather the yang in our bodies. There are three ways to hide Yang in winter. The first is to avoid excessive fatigue. Second, pay attention to the warmth of the body; The third is to reduce sweating during exercise.

Sanzang II: Tibetan essence

A healthy body is a state in which all three elements are sufficient. Therefore, we must pay attention to storing essence in winter, and the liver is the foundation of essence in our body. Therefore, reducing the frequency and capacity of drinking in winter and supplementing some foods with high nutritional content are good ways to help our bodies store essence, which can not only help our bodies better retain the yang, but also reduce the decline of immunity caused by insufficient nutrition in spring. There are two ways to store essence in winter. The first is to limit drinking and reduce the stimulation of alcohol on the liver. Second, pay attention to ensure the comprehensive nutrition in food, which can play the role of storing nutrition.

The third of Sanzang: Tibetan God

We all say that the heart hides both God and heart. The heart is the organ of blood exchange in our body. If there is something wrong with the heart, the body will not be able to maintain its basic operation, which will seriously affect our life. Therefore, the purpose of hiding the gods is to nourish the heart, not only to maintain a happy mood, but also to ensure the normal operation of the internal organs. There are two ways to hide gods in winter. One is to be optimistic and less angry. The other is to eat more foods that nourish organs, such as red dates, lilies and millet.

In addition to the above Sanzang, the three defenses are mainly to prevent the cold invasion of three parts of the body. Doing a good job of three defenses can ensure that there is nothing wrong with your body. Let's see where the three defenses are.

One of the three defenses: preventing cold feet.

Our feet are farthest from the heart, and the blood circulation slows down in cold weather in December, so our feet are prone to catch a cold due to insufficient blood supply, and there are many acupoints on the soles of our feet. If we can't keep our feet warm, no matter how much we wear, we can easily feel the cold of our bodies. Therefore, in daily life, we should pay attention to keeping our feet warm, wear warm shoes when going out, and soak our feet before going to bed at night, which is the best.

The second of the three defenses: prevent cold in the waist and abdomen.

Our waist is the central part connecting the upper body and the lower body, and many body organs are located in the waist and abdomen. If you can't keep warm at the waist in the twelfth lunar month, it will easily lead to poor blood flow in women's stomach or uterus and ovaries, which will affect the normal physiological function of organs, so you must keep warm at the waist and abdomen in winter. Usually, you can press your waist with a warm hot water bottle or your own hot hands, and you will feel a warm air slowly appearing in your body, which is particularly comfortable and can increase your body's yang.

The third of the three defenses: prevent nose and mouth colds.

Our mouth and nose are the exposed parts of the respiratory system. If you can't do a good job in winter, you are prone to rhinitis, pharyngitis and other diseases. If there is something wrong with our nose and mouth, it will reduce the oxygen supply in our body and have a great impact on the respiratory system. Therefore, we can wear a mask every morning in the twelfth lunar month to prevent the invasion of cold, and at the same time we can massage both sides of the nose in our spare time to promote blood circulation, enhance immunity and preserve yang.

Doing the above "three zang and three defenses" in winter is the main way to ensure the yang in our body, which can not only reduce the chance of catching a cold and having a fever, but also maintain our body and prevent some chronic diseases in our body. Only when the yang in our body is sufficient and our immunity is good can we ensure our health and prolong our life.
