The national "freezing cry" warned that cold air was coming. How to maintain health in cold season?

Slight cold is the fifth solar term in winter and the 23rd solar term among the 24 solar terms. There is a folk proverb: "When it's a slight cold, it's 239, and I'm shivering with cold." From the winter solstice on March 9, the slight cold is among them, which also verifies the cold degree of the slight cold solar terms. The characteristic of the slight cold solar term is that the temperature begins to drop, and the great cold has not yet reached the extreme. So how should the slight cold solar terms be preserved?

First, the diet should be properly supplemented:

As the saying goes, "Three-nine makes up one winter, and the coming year will not hurt", but remember that a slight cold can't make up for it. Because the winter is deep, the slight cold is rich in rustic and the kidney is weak. Therefore, the diet should reduce sweetness and increase bitterness, replenish the heart, help the lungs and nourish the kidneys; We can have the following dietotherapy practices:

1, Eucommia ulmoides Kidney Flower Soup: First, put Eucommia ulmoides into water to make a thick juice, cut the pork loin into a mesh, add seasoning and stir fry, and finally pour Eucommia ulmoides juice. Eucommia ulmoides can tonify liver and kidney, strengthen bones and muscles, and pig's waist can tonify kidney and solidify essence, and both of them are matched with tonifying kidney and replenishing essence.

2. Danggui Ginger Mutton Soup: 20 grams of Danggui, 30 grams of ginger, 500 grams of mutton, and appropriate amount of yellow wine and seasoning. Wash mutton, cut into pieces, add angelica, ginger, yellow wine and seasonings, and stew for 1.2 hours, which has the functions of warming middle warmer, enriching blood, dispelling cold and strengthening body.

Second, get up early to keep warm and exercise properly:

After the slight cold, the weather will get colder and colder, and the temperature will get lower and lower. For the elderly with heart disease and bronchial diseases and people with weak constitution, it is not advisable to get up early to avoid cold air invasion and stimulate vasoconstriction and other diseases. When going out, special attention should be paid to protecting the "head, neck and ankle". After the sun comes out, exercise properly and don't sweat excessively, which is beneficial to the blood circulation of the body and enhances the body's resistance.

Third, prevent internal fires:

Every family has heating in winter in the north, and barbecue pits and air conditioners in winter in the south. Although it is cold outside, the indoor temperature is relatively high. If you stay in a high temperature place for a long time, your skin will lose a lot of water, which is manifested as dry skin, easy thirst, peeling lips and so on. All these suggest that we need to prevent "internal fire", so we should do a good job of indoor humidification, increase the daily water supply, and consume more water such as oranges, grapefruit and sugar oranges.

Fourth, moxibustion:

The slight heat of moxibustion fire and the pharmacological action of mugwort leaf can help yang to return to yang and rescue adverse reactions. According to the theory of "deficiency is tonic" and "cold is hot" in traditional Chinese medicine, moxibustion with the function of removing heat and dredging menstruation can warm and replenish qi and blood, strengthen spleen and kidney, prevent cold pathogens from invading the body and enhance human resistance before the arrival of cold days. We can choose several health-care acupoints by ourselves, such as Zusanli, Shenque and Qihai, and directly moxibustion in the form of moxibustion box.
