What are the taboos of the Great Cold Festival?

The taboos of the Great Cold Festival are as follows:

1, the taboo of severe cold solar terms does not hurt yin and body fluid.

Another key point of health preservation during the severe cold is nourishing yin. Generally speaking, the precipitation in the Yangtze River basin begins to decrease from winter to Sunday, and it is the driest period after a month of severe cold solar terms. The average air humidity during the day is generally lower than 50%, and sometimes the indoor humidity is only about 30%.

With the reduction of water vapor between heaven and earth, vaginal fluid in human body will be easy to be insufficient. Many people with chronic respiratory diseases often feel that they cough with too much phlegm or sticky phlegm, and their cough is not clean. Patients with cardiovascular diseases are more likely to cause an increase in blood viscosity. If the vascular elasticity function declines due to hypertension, old age and other reasons, it is easier to induce dangerous situations such as myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction and cerebral hemorrhage.

In daily life, if heating or air conditioning is often turned on indoors, besides paying attention to frequent ventilation, it is best to use some air humidifiers to improve the humidity in the air. If you use an electric blanket at night, try not to turn it on all night and don't turn it on too hot. Drink as much water as possible, don't wait for dry mouth to drink. Drink a glass of warm water before going to bed and after getting up every day. It is best to drink a little water before and after bathing to replenish the lost water.

2, the taboo of the great cold solar terms is not suitable for eating hot and dry things.

The Great Cold is the last of the 24 solar terms. At this time in Beijing, the weather is cold. Health care should conform to the laws of nature, focus on astringing yin and protecting yang, and avoid eating hot foods, foods that are cold and sticky and difficult to digest, so as not to damage the yang of the spleen and stomach, and don't eat too many hot and dry things.

Before and after the Great Cold, people can adjust their diet according to their different constitutions. Warm food is suitable for people with yang deficiency, and mutton and chicken are warm foods; The food for nourishing yin is suitable for people who like yin deficiency, and you can eat more duck, goose and fungus. Drug supplements should be taken in combination with your own physique and symptoms, and it is best to consult a professional before taking supplements. After the severe cold, spring began. In order to adapt to the change of seasons, we can also eat more ascending and dispersing foods to adapt to the rising of everything in spring in advance.

3. The taboo of severe cold solar terms should not be excessive exercise.

In the cold season, do not exercise too much and sweat too much, so as not to damage the yang with sweating. Exercise should be carried out in a sunny place in the square. Exercise can be brisk walking, jogging and square dancing according to your own preferences. The intensity of exercise depends on your physical condition, and sweating slightly is the best. In foggy and snowy days, it is best to stop exercising.

What should we pay attention to in the severe cold solar terms:

1, you must not take supplements crazily during a cold.

The severe cold still belongs to winter. During the great cold, many friends will make a mistake, so they will go crazy to take tonics, but in fact this is taboo, because the great cold and beginning of spring are in a transitional period, people's appetite for tonics will gradually decrease in the great cold, and they will eat more foods with lifting properties, which conforms to the rising trend of everything. At this time, the diet should pay attention to nourishing blood and qi, nourishing the viscera. Winter, as the last solar term, mainly supplements the spleen, and health care needs to pay attention to replenishing the spleen.

You must not go to bed late and get up early during the severe cold.

It is taboo to go to bed early and get up late during the severe cold, because in the severe cold solar terms, everyone needs to pay attention to the fact that it is necessary to go to bed early and get up late, because the "severe cold" is the last solar term in winter, and it is still necessary to conform to the characteristics of winter closure in daily life, 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. So it is necessary to go to bed early and get up late in the cold season.

Be sure to keep warm during the severe cold.

It should be noted that it is also necessary to keep warm during the great cold. Although the great cold solar terms are solar terms exchanged with beginning of spring, they are still relatively cold in the great cold solar terms. Therefore, during the cold solar terms, we should also pay attention to keep warm.
