Dahan is the last one of the 24 solar terms. "Shou Shi Tong Kao • Tian Shi" quoted "San Li Yi Zong": "The big cold is the middle, and the upper form is on the small cold, so it is called big...the inverse of the cold, so it is called big cold "Big cold" means extreme cold weather, and it marks the end of the twenty-four solar terms in a year. The big cold is just after the March 9th, and at the beginning of the April 9th, at this time, the precipitation is scarce, the sky is dry, and the weather is often accompanied by extreme weather such as cold waves and strong winds.
Winter is the season when everything is sealed. It is cold, the air is dry, the windows are closed, the indoor heating is prone to bacteria and viruses, and the children’s lungs are delicate and the skin is weak, and they are susceptible to cold pathogens. Upper respiratory diseases: such as flu, , common cold, , bronchitis, pneumonia, rhinitis, sinusitis, otitis media, etc. January 20, 2020 (December 26 of the Jihai year of the lunar calendar) is the coldest solar term. During the coldest time of the year, how can we reduce the chance of children getting sick and help them survive the cold winter?
1. Go to bed early and get up late, soak your feet before going to bed , and accumulate yang
. The principle of "winter storage" must be followed in the cold regimen. The reason is that early to bed can nourish the body’s yang. Qi can nourish yin qi in late wake up, make the essence cohesive to moisturize the five internal organs, thereby increasing the child's body immunity. As the saying goes: "The cold starts from the feet, and the cold comes from the legs." When a person's legs and feet are cold, the skin, internal organs, etc. are cold. During the severe cold season, soak your children's feet with hot water before going to bed, which can increase body heat, increase blood vessels, increase blood flow, promote blood circulation, improve the nutrition of the skin and tissues of the feet, improve the quality of sleep, and protect children from cold Health care has a very positive meaning. Before going to bed, you need to pay attention to two points: ①Temperature: The water temperature should be around 40℃, and the water should submerge the ankle joint; ②Time: Soak for 15-20 minutes each time, add hot water to keep the water temperature from time to time, after soaking It is better if the skin is reddish.
2. Frequent exposure to the sun, proper exercise, and a little sweat is enough.
The cold is the coldest solar term of the year. Children’s health preservation needs to keep warm from the cold, often in the sun to control the yin and cold, protect the yang from the cold, and perform appropriate physical exercises in the sun to enhance the body’s ability to resist cold and disease, and use natural sunlight to generate yang and store heat. For the coming year. However, vigorous exercise is not suitable, just a little sweat, must not sweat profusely, to avoid disturbing the body's closed Yang Qi.
3. Reasonable diet, reduce saltiness and increase bitterness, balance yin and yang
Winter is the time when the kidney meridian is strong. The theory of traditional Chinese medicine believes that winter governs the kidney, the kidney governs salty, the heart governs bitterness, salty overcomes bitterness, and kidney water suppresses heart fire. Therefore, "reducing saltiness and increasing bitterness" is an important dietary principle for winter health. "Reducing saltiness and increasing bitterness" refers to appropriately reducing salty foods and increasing bitter foods in winter. Because salt overcomes bitterness, kidney water overcomes heart and fire. If you eat too much salty taste, it will make the originally hyperactive kidney water more hyperactive, thereby weakening the power of the heart yang, so you should eat more bitter food to help the heart yang. Therefore, the principle of diet in winter is to reduce saltiness and increase bitterness, resist kidney water, nourish the heart and energy, to protect the heart and kidney, balance the yin and yang, and prevent it from becoming prosperous or declining, so that the child can be full and full of vitality. Foods that should be selected are: celery, lettuce, okra, spinach, etc.
4. Open windows frequently, with good ventilation and no germs. The weather is cold. Parents often close windows and turn on heating in some rooms. Poor air flow can easily breed bacteria, viruses and other pathogens, and respiratory infections often occur. Under normal circumstances, a person has to exhale 22 liters of carbon dioxide per hour. If the ventilation is poor, the carbon dioxide exhaled by the human body will accumulate indoors. Opening windows for ventilation can make people get more "air vitamins", that is, negative ions, which can increase people's life span, and opening windows for ventilation can reduce the growth of germs. The number of opening windows is not the better. Open windows 3 times a day for no less than 15 minutes each time, which can basically maintain the freshness of indoor air. Therefore, no matter how cold the weather is, it is recommended to open windows frequently to allow air circulation.
