Health care of slight cold solar terms

Cold is the main air in winter, and slight cold is the coldest season in a year. Cold is yin evil, which is easy to hurt human yang, and cold dominates stagnation. Therefore, although the slight cold regimen contains a lot of contents, the basic principle is still the motto in Huangdi Neijing: "Nourish yang in spring and summer, nourish yin in autumn and winter." In winter, everything should be collected, and health care should conform to the trend of natural collection, collect yin essence, and make the essence condense and moisten the five internal organs.

In this solar term, people with heart disease and hypertension often get worse, and the number of people suffering from "stroke" increases. Chinese medicine believes that the blood in the human body is easy to flow when it is warm and easy to stagnate when it is cold. The so-called "blood coagulates when it is cold" is the truth. Therefore, warm-keeping work must be done well, especially for the elderly.

People often say that "it's cold in March and hot in dog days", and the coldest solar term is also the most prosperous period of yin and evil. From the point of view of diet health, we should pay special attention to eating more warm food in our daily diet to supplement our health and prevent the invasion of cold climate.

Although this festival is the best time for "tonic", tonic is not enough to eat a lot of tonic, so it must be targeted. Hot foods in daily food mainly include pepper, cinnamon, pepper and so on. Warm foods include glutinous rice, sorghum rice, sword bean, leek, fennel, coriander, shepherd's purse, asparagus, mustard, pumpkin, ginger, onion, garlic, apricot, peach, jujube, longan, litchi, papaya, cherry, pomegranate, dark plum, citron and chestnut.

"Life lies in exercise", and the folk proverb also says: "Exercise more and get sick less in winter; Lazy in winter, drink a bowl of medicine. This shows the importance of winter exercise. People who are good at keeping in good health should insist on physical exercise in winter to achieve the effects of nourishing liver and kidney, relaxing tendons and activating collaterals, dredging qi pulse and enhancing their own resistance. For example, yoga, Tai Ji Chuan, walking, jogging, skipping rope, kicking shuttlecock, playing ball, doing exercises, practicing boxing and sword, etc. Are suitable for winter exercise. Keep warm during winter exercise to prevent colds. Psychologically, be calm, worry less, be optimistic, don't worry about trifles, be calm and add fun.

Knocking your teeth often in winter will benefit your kidney and strengthen your kidney; The meridians of the kidney start from the foot, and Yongquan point in the heart of the foot is its main point. It is best to soak your feet with hot water before going to bed in winter night and press the center of your feet; In winter, people are in a state of "Yin flourishes while Yang declines", so they should bask in the sun to help Yang Qi in the kidney rise; Pay attention to keep your back warm and wear cotton or wool vest to protect kidney yang. A burst of heavy snow, accompanied by a cold wind, made people fully realize that "slight cold" is really biting. However, nature tells us that the sun has quietly sprouted at this time, and a beautiful spring will come in the near future. Let's take good care of our body and mind, and look forward to it!
