What should I pay attention to on the winter solstice?

Pay attention to the winter solstice: keep warm, eat properly and exercise moderately.

1, keep warm.

The arrival of the winter solstice also indicates that the weather will gradually get cold. Many places have the custom of counting from winter to Sunday. Generally, March 9 and April 9 are the coldest seasons of the year, so we should pay attention to keep warm from the cold and protect the human yang at the beginning of winter to Sunday.

2. Eat less spicy food

On the solstice of winter, the weather is getting colder every day, and many people like to eat hot pot. The hotter the chafing dish, the better it tastes. But do you know that the diet in winter should not be too spicy? Too spicy food is not good for maintaining human yang, so eat less spicy food during the winter solstice.

3. Moderate exercise

Before and after the winter solstice solar terms, the yin of the human body is getting stronger and stronger, and the yang is getting weaker and weaker. It is not suitable for strenuous exercise at this time, which will make the body sweat a lot. Excessive sweating will affect the yang of human body, which is not good for people's health. Therefore, moderate exercise should be taken before and after the solar term from winter to solar term.

Astronomical calendar

The winter solstice, as an important node of the 24 solar terms in China, is the place with the shortest day and the longest night in the northern equatorial region of the earth. The solstice in winter is the limit of the sun's southward travel. On this day, the height of the sun in the northern hemisphere is the smallest, and the sun is most biased towards the northern hemisphere. The solstice in winter is the turning point of the sun's southward travel. After this day, we will "turn back", and the direct point of the sun is from the tropic of Capricorn (23.

From winter to around, the earth is located near the perihelion, and its running speed is slightly faster, resulting in that the time for the sun to directly shine in the southern hemisphere is about 8 days shorter than that in the northern hemisphere, so the winter in the northern hemisphere is slightly shorter than that in summer.
