"One day of the beginning of winter, the water is three minutes cold". With the arrival of the beginning of winter solar term, the temperature will gradually drop, and the severe and long winter officially begins. One of the most prominent features of winter is its extreme cold. From the perspective of health preservation, keeping warm and cold has become the top priority of winter health preservation.
Maintaining warmth mainly includes two aspects. One aspect is to keep warm and prevent excessive yang energy from being consumed by cold air from the outside world. Therefore, you should pay attention to protecting your own yang energy, wear more clothes in daily life, especially when you go out, wear hats, scarves and gloves, etc., and do a good job of protection. For people with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, they should also protect the chest and back, because in severe cold, vascular contraction is relatively large, which is more likely to induce the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
After the beginning of winter, you need to prepare some thicker clothes. Although it is not necessary yet, the temperature in winter drops very quickly. Don’t wait until it’s too cold to prepare.
In addition to adding clothes to keep warm, another aspect of preventing cold is to improve the rise of the body's yang energy. In other words, we must allow the body to generate more heat and yang energy. Therefore, corresponding adjustments should be made in diet.
An important principle of winter diet is to supplement moderately. As the saying goes, "In winter, you can go up the mountain to fight tigers." Winter is indeed the time for the human body to "replenish" because it takes more calories to cope with the severe cold.
However, you cannot be blindly involved in supplementation, you must grasp the degree of goodness. Especially in a time when the material is very abundant, tonic does not mean big fish and meat. After the beginning of winter, you should make up for your diet and gain something. If you don’t have any supplements, you should try to be nutritious, light and low in fat. In other words, it is necessary to make up for the balance, not to make up for the violent compensation.
In addition, dietary tonics will vary depending on the region. For example, the weather in the north is colder, so it is suitable for warm or large tonic; , southern , the weather in the south is relatively mild, so it is suitable for clean and peaceful tonic. In addition, it depends on the individual and choose the supplement method according to your own nutrition.
