How to preserve health after beginning of winter?

Shh, I'll tell you the truth today. Come and see.

Beginning of winter can be literally interpreted as: "beginning of winter, beginning of winter, beginning of winter, beginning of winter, beginning of winter, beginning of winter." It means that the crops in autumn are harvested and put into storage, and the animals are hiding and hibernating. Therefore, beginning of winter not only represents the coming of winter. To be exact, beginning of winter is to put everything away and avoid the cold in early winter. As early as Lu Chunqiu? Beginning of spring, Spring Equinox, Long Summer, Summer Solstice, beginning of autumn, Autumn Equinox, beginning of winter and Winter Solstice are all established in December. These are the eight most important solar terms in the twenty-four solar terms, which clearly and accurately mark the process of four seasons' transformation.

The arrival of a new season brings people's joys and sorrows. The four seasons can change endlessly. When winter begins, everything will end, which is a natural presentation. We should look forward to the beginning of the next season. In early winter, thick clouds covered the distant sky, only a few white clouds overhead struggled to tear a hole, revealing a clean blue, like a clever girl who embroidered on an embroidered cloth, revealing the golden color that could not be hidden in the blue and white. Looking at the sky at this time, I gave birth to a beautiful wish, picked a cloud and put it in my bun, and flew away, revealing a beautiful smiling face.

In the traditional concept, "winter" means "end" and means end. Although there is no such thing as human hibernation, there is a folk custom of making up for winter in beginning of winter. The arrival of this solar term means that the sun hides, the cathode, the vegetation withers, the insects hide, and all activities tend to stop, so as to hibernate and save energy for the next spring. Therefore, severe cooling, especially abnormal weather, has a serious adverse impact on people's lives and health. It is very important to pay attention to the weather forecast and do a good job of human protection and freezing injury prevention in time according to the weather changes.

China's earliest medical classic Huangdi Neijing? Su Wen? "Four Seasons Theory" points out: "Daily nursed back to health emphasizes" don't disturb the yang, stay up early and get up late, and wait for the sun ",that is, in the cold winter, don't disturb the physiological function of yin-yang transformation of human body because of disturbing the yang. Just as "in winter, heaven and earth are combined and blood is hidden, so people can't sweat out and vent yang." "Therefore, going to bed early and getting up late, and doing it at sunrise, to ensure adequate sleep, is conducive to the accumulation of hidden yang and yin essence. Too few clothes are too thin, and the room temperature is too low, which is easy to catch a cold and consume yang. On the other hand, if the clothes are too thick and the room temperature is too high, it will cause diarrhea, the yang will not be hidden, and cold pathogens will easily invade. Chinese medicine believes that "cold is yin evil and often hurts yang". The yang of human body is like the sun in the sky, which gives light and warmth to nature. Without her, nothing can survive. Similarly, if there is no yang in the human body, it will lose the vitality of metabolism. So, remember to "raise Tibet" in beginning of winter's daily aftercare.

Dietary care should follow the ancient teachings of "nourishing yin in autumn and winter", "not disturbing yang" and "tonifying deficiency and warming cold", and adjust diet with the climate change of the four seasons. Hu Sihui wrote "Eating is Right" in Yuan Dynasty, saying: "... it is cold in winter, so we should eat millet to cure its cold with heat." In other words, eat less cold, but not hot. Eat some high-calorie foods that nourish yin and subdue yang properly. At the same time, we should eat more fresh vegetables to avoid vitamin deficiency, such as beef and mutton, black-bone chicken, crucian carp, etc., drink more soybean milk and milk, and eat more radishes, vegetables, tofu and fungus. It should be noted here that China has a vast territory, different geographical environment and different lifestyles, which belong to winter, and the climate conditions in the northwest are quite different from those in the southeast coast; In winter, the weather in northwest China is cold, so it is necessary to supplement products with high temperature and heat, such as cattle, sheep and dog meat. Although Jiangnan has entered the winter, the temperature is much milder than that in the northwest, and the tonic should be sweet, such as chicken, duck and fish; Located in the plateau mountainous area, with little rainfall and dry climate, fruits, vegetables and rock sugar should be used for sweet and nourishing. In addition, it also varies from person to person, because there are differences between men, women and children, and the body (constitution) has the debate of deficiency and excess, cold and heat. Based on the law of human growth and the principle of TCM health preservation, young people are re-nourished, middle-aged people are re-conditioned, old people are re-protected, and old people are re-supported. Therefore, "winter tonic" should be targeted according to the actual situation, such as clear tonic, warm tonic, small tonic and big tonic, and must not be blindly "tonic"
