First of all, if we want to talk about how to keep in good health in winter, we should look for guidance from the book "Huangdi Neijing". I learned a little poem from Huangdi Neijing to explain health care: benefiting qi and nourishing blood, nourishing form and spirit, growing and collecting yin and yang, letting nature take its course, integrating nature with man, and maintaining health at four seasons.
Huangdi Neijing puts forward an advanced concept of health preservation, that is, treat the disease before it happens. Seriously study Huangdi Neijing and have a correct outlook on life, you can stay away from diseases and hospitals.
However, health preservation is a systematic project, rooted in the traditional culture of China. Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism and medicine all emphasize that health preservation is to raise people? Sambo? : essence, qi and spirit. Confucianism values spirit, Taoism values essence, Buddhism values spirit, and doctors value cultivation and treatment. Only essence and spirit can be combined into one? Harmony between man and nature? Is the real health.
There are many methods of health care, such as TCM health care, meridian health care, diet health care, physical health care, four seasons health care, solar terms health care, time health care, yoga health care, foot bath health care, etc., which are all introduced in detail in the health care book Huangdi Neijing.
The second chapter of Neijing tells us that in winter and March, it is said that the Tibetan area is closed, the water is frozen and frozen, and there is no disturbance from the sun. Lying early and getting up late, you must wait for the sun, so that you have private benefits. If you have something, you will be cold and warm, and you will not leak your skin and seize it urgently. This is the way to keep gas in winter. On the contrary, kidney injury, fistula and syncope in spring, fewer alive.
Finally, three months in winter is the season when all life lurks and hides. The vegetation withers, the stinging insects lurk, the natural sun is deep and the yin is cold, and all activities tend to stop, so as to hibernate and save energy for the next spring.
The wind is cold and cold. Except in southern cities, water will freeze and the ground will crack. Cold is yin evil, which is easy to hurt yang. After yin evil hurts yang, the human body's yang is weak, and physiological functions are inhibited, which will produce a cold phenomenon. Therefore, we should adopt the way of nourishing winter qi, conform to the law of natural sealing, take gathering yin and protecting yang as the foundation, and don't disturb the yang in the body.
In winter, the corresponding organ is the kidney. Of the five internal organs, the kidney belongs to Yin. In winter, the weather is cold and the yin is the most abundant. Therefore, kidney and winter qi are in harmony. At this time, the kidneys are most vulnerable to cold pathogens, so what are the important principles of winter health care? Bushen Quhan, Yiqi Yangyin? . Raise kidneys in winter. Is the kidney the source of human life, or is it human? The foundation of nature? . The government of the kidney is located at the waist, one on the left and one on the right, so there is? The waist is the home of the kidney? Said. The kidney controls the storage of essence, growth, development and reproduction, which is the basis of yin and yang of the whole body. In addition, kidney governs body fluid and qi.
If a person has kidney deficiency, it will show weakness in waist and knees, and it is easy to get sick and get old. The collection of medical prescriptions says: If kidney essence is insufficient, ambition will decline, and if you can't communicate with your heart, you will be confused and forgetful. ? Please remember this sentence? Does the kidney meridian determine your life span? Because the kidney is the last aging organ in the five internal organs. Therefore, if you want to be healthy, you must have sufficient kidney-qi, strong kidney-qi, powerful function and vigorous vitality, so that your body can adapt to the changes in severe winter.
The principle of healthy eating is quantitative and regular.
That is, three meals a day are scheduled, at the specified time, whether hungry or not. Everyone should take the initiative to eat. Avoid hunger or satiety and keep your stomach moving regularly. You should also keep the right amount of food for each meal.
comfort temperature
What should be the temperature of the diet? Not cold or hot? For the degree. Otherwise, too hot and too cold food will stimulate the gastric mucosa after entering the stomach, which will easily lead to stomach problems over time.
Chew carefully and swallow slowly.
Chew food fully to make it as varied as possible? How are you? To reduce the workload of the stomach. The more times you chew, the more saliva you secrete. It has protective effect on gastric mucosa.
drink water
The best drinking time is one hour before each meal when you get up on an empty stomach in the morning. Drinking water immediately after a meal will dilute the gastric juice. Soaking rice in soup will also affect the digestion of food.
Appropriate vitamin c supplementation
Vitamin c has a protective effect on the stomach. Maintain a positive constant of vitamin c in gastric juice. Can effectively play the role of the stomach, protect the stomach and enhance the anti-cancer ability of the stomach.
Sweeter and warmer.
Sweets can nourish the spleen and stomach. Such as yam, millet, pumpkin and other foods, have good spleen and stomach functions and can improve immunity.
If the dietotherapy can't achieve the effect quickly, it can cooperate with acupoint massage and physical exercise to dredge meridians, increase the gastrointestinal function of human body, strengthen gastrointestinal peristalsis, increase the secretion of digestive juice, promote the digestion of food and the absorption of nutrients, improve the blood circulation of gastrointestinal tract itself, promote metabolism and delay the aging of digestive system.
Traditional Chinese medicine health care exercise health care toe pressing
Massage the toes and abdomen clockwise 40 ~ 80 times a day, especially the second toe, which is beneficial to relieve stomach pain and nourish the stomach.
Warm navel
After sleeping every day, rub your hands with heat, stick the hot palm (Laogong point) on your stomach and navel, and massage clockwise for 30 ~ 40 times after the heat is slightly reduced.
Rubbing the abdomen
Before getting up in the morning or going to bed at night, lie on your back (or cover it with a quilt in cold weather), put your palm on your navel and press it clockwise and counterclockwise for 60 times respectively, or until your abdomen feels hot. Then press Zusanli point with your finger (3 inches between the two bones under the lateral knee joint).
Knock on the gallbladder
Knock hard on the circulation line of the gallbladder meridian of foot shaoyang outside the thigh every day, 200 times left and right, with a rhythm of about twice per second, so as to effectively stimulate the acupoints. The time is about 15 minutes. This practice can stimulate the gallbladder meridian, force bile secretion, improve the absorption function of the human body, and provide sufficient substances for the human hematopoietic system.
