How to maintain health in winter? In a blink of an eye, winter has arrived. In the cold winter, we need to pay more attention to winter health besides adding enough thick clothes. This is very important. How to keep in good health in winter?
What should winter health care do? 1 Tonifying the kidney is the first priority.
Cold should be in the kidney. Kidney is the motive force of human life and the "innate foundation" of human body. In winter, the yang of the human body is suppressed, and the physiological activities of the human body also converge. At this time, the kidney should not only prepare enough energy to maintain the heat expenditure in winter, but also store some energy for the coming year, so it is very important to tonify the kidney at this time.
In diet, we should always pay attention to the nursed back to health of the kidneys, pay attention to the supplement of calories, eat more animal foods and beans, and supplement vitamins and inorganic salts. Dog meat, mutton, goose, duck, soybean, walnut, chestnut, fungus, sesame, sweet potato and radish are all suitable foods in winter.
Warm food to avoid being too hard.
Sticky food is mostly cloudy, and eating this kind of food in winter is easy to damage the spleen and stomach. Moreover, food overheating is easy to damage the esophagus, and after entering the stomach, it is easy to cause heat accumulation in the body and cause diseases; If the food is too cold, it will easily stimulate the blood vessels in the spleen and stomach and make the blood flow poor. However, the decrease of blood volume will seriously affect the blood circulation of other organs and endanger human health. Therefore, the diet in winter should be gentle.
Folding increases bitterness and decreases salinity.
In winter, the function of kidney is high. If you eat more salty food, kidney qi will be more abundant, which will greatly hurt the heart, weaken its strength and affect human health. Therefore, eat less salty food in winter to prevent excessive kidney water; Eat more bitter food, nourish the heart and enhance kidney function. Commonly used foods are: betel nut, orange, pig liver, sheep liver, kohlrabi, lettuce, vinegar, tea and so on.
Folding sleep regulation
Go to bed early and get up late in winter, and it is best to get up after the sun comes out. Because going to bed early can maintain human yang and keep the body warm, while getting up late can nourish human yin.
Do it at sunrise, get up and stop the cold, and ask for its warmth. Don't sleep with your head covered when it is warm. If the air in the bed is not circulating, there will be less and less oxygen. Over time, the air will become turbid. When people sleep in such an environment, they will feel chest tightness, nausea, or wake up from sleep with a cold sweat and feel tired the next day.
Dong San Bao nuan
When the head is warm and cold, the blood vessels will contract, and the muscles of the head will be tense, which may easily cause headaches, colds and even gastrointestinal discomfort.
The stimulation of cold and warm back can affect local muscles or spread to internal organs through back acupoints, which is harmful to health. Cold in the back not only causes backache, but also affects the muscles, joints and internal organs of the upper and lower limbs through the cervical vertebrae and lumbar vertebrae, causing various discomforts.
Once the foot is warm and cold, it can reflexively cause the capillary contraction of the upper respiratory tract mucosa, the cilia swing slows down and the resistance decreases. The consequence is that viruses and bacteria take advantage of it and multiply in large numbers, which makes people catch a cold.
Tonics need to be divided into men, women and children.
A person's life needs to go through different stages of development and physiological changes. The qi, blood, yin and yang of human organs change in different degrees at different stages, and people's living habits, study and work at different ages are also different. Therefore, we should supplement the body according to these changes.
Children's internal organs are delicate, easy to be weak and easy to be solid, and their diet is often uncontrolled, which damages the spleen and stomach. Its winter tonic should be based on strengthening the spleen and stomach, and it can be eaten with poria cocos, hawthorn, jujube and coix seed.
And young students who stay up late to study often lack sleep, heart and spleen or kidney deficiency. Lotus seeds and Polygonum multiflorum Thunb can be used as winter tonic. Many middle-aged people are overburdened and do not pay attention to rest, leading to qi and blood failure. Therefore, winter tonic is mainly to replenish qi and blood, and you can eat longan, astragalus and angelica.
Old people are weak and ill, so they must take supplements in winter. Eucommia ulmoides and Polygonum multiflorum can be used when the elderly are not sick. If you are sick, you must make up for it based on syndrome differentiation and treatment.
What should I do in winter? What should I do in summer?
Food and fire safety
High temperature can cause a series of diseases, such as upset, easy to get angry, insomnia and so on. The hot weather in summer can easily cause internal fire to human body, and "fire safety" has become the main standard of summer health preservation.
You can eat more ingredients to clear away heat and fire in summer. In traditional Chinese medicine, Chinese herbal medicines that can clear fire in hot weather are: mint, lotus leaf, honeysuckle tea, donkey, forsythia and so on. Diet should be light and easy to digest, and eat less greasy and spicy ingredients.
Black beans, lotus seeds, lotus leaves, reed roots, Dutch beans, etc. You can add it to the stem rice to cook porridge and eat it after cooling. The medicated porridge has the effects of invigorating stomach, promoting digestion, and relieving summer heat. Usually eat more vegetables and fruits, fresh fruits, which can show vitamin supplement. Just eat more melons and vegetables, including melons, melons, melons, loofah, melons and so on.
Life and recuperation
Supplementing yang in summer is very important for nourishing the heart. In the basic theoretical management system of Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine also believes that "summer is full of vitality and the heart is connected", so health care should be "nourished", such as getting up early and going to bed early to prevent sweating. Sweating too much is easy to hurt yang.
After the temperature turns hot, it is very easy to be agitated and have poor sleep quality. And people's souls are easily hurt, so how to prevent anxiety?
First of all, we should attach great importance to the conditioning of spiritual essence and maintain a happy attitude; Secondly, don't be jubilant, but keep a calm and peaceful situation.
Traditional Chinese medicine has long said that "nourishing the heart in summer", so it is necessary to maintain a pleasant body and mind and a smooth emotional path in summer life and daily life to avoid diseases caused by excessive internal fire. It is also recommended to go to some health clubs, where you can feel a lot of health goods.
Avoid eating cold food immediately during exercise.
In summer, people will sweat a lot after a little fitness exercise. Many people like to eat cold food and iced drinks immediately after fitness exercise, which makes them feel "cool" and quench their thirst. I think this is very harmful to the physical and mental health of the human body, because if you eat cold food immediately after fitness exercise.
It is very harmful to the liver and lungs of human body. Guizhou Satellite TV's health and wellness variety show also mentioned that blood gas is boiling, lungs, liver and other functions are active, and it will also damage the qi and blood of the body immediately after catching cold.
There is a saying in Chinese medicine that "cold drinks hurt the lungs", which is what it means. So after fitness exercise, you can eat cold food when the human body is relatively stable, but not too cold. People with deficiency and cold constitution should eat less cold food, because it is very easy to cause stomach pain and other diseases.
How to prevent heatstroke and cool down
The temperature is hot in summer, and fans and air conditioners are home appliances to reduce fever. For those who are afraid of the cold, the central air conditioner with the electric fan on is the most comfortable. However, for patients with osteoarthritis, the most important thing in summer is to avoid cold, because too cold natural environment is more likely to cause disease. Therefore, we should pay attention to the proper application of central air conditioning and electric fans in summer, and use them less. It is recommended to go to a fitness club to enjoy the cool, where the temperature is more suitable for health and wellness.
In summer, the temperature outside is extremely hot. To prevent long-term exposure, it is necessary to go out and take measures to reduce the heat. You can reserve some heatstroke prevention drugs at home, such as Ren Dan, Huoxiang Zhengqi series products (water, liquid, pills, capsules), ten drops of water, cool oil and so on. For people who often stay in the central air-conditioned room, they should pay attention to hydrating and drinking more water. In case the skin is too dry and allergic.
