Fewer diseases throughout the year.
This winter health guide is for you.
I wish you all a healthy winter.
1, eat less salt and suffer more.
Winter is the high incidence season of upper respiratory tract infection. At this time, if the salt content in the diet is too high, it will lead to a decrease in saliva secretion, making it easier for various bacteria to survive in the upper respiratory tract. At the same time, high-salt diet will also reduce the disease resistance of mucosa and induce inflammation. In addition, after entering winter, the kidneys tend to be more vigorous. At this time, if the diet is salty, the kidney qi will be more abundant, but it will be sad and have a great impact on the body.
Therefore, it is suggested to eat less foods with high salt content in winter, and the salt intake per person per day should be controlled below 6g. In addition, pay attention to eat more bitter food to nourish the heart and enhance renal function. The foods you can choose are oranges, pork liver, kohlrabi, lettuce, vinegar, tea and so on.
2, entering the cave in winter, mainly to tonify the kidney.
Kidney is the innate foundation and the driving force of human health. After entering the winter, the human body's yang will be suppressed, and the physiological activities will also converge. In this season, the kidney should not only support the heat needed by the human body in winter, but also store some energy for the coming year, so it is very important to tonify the kidney in winter.
It is suggested that the dietary choice in winter should pay attention to the supplement of calories, and it is recommended to choose beans or animal foods to supplement the vitamins and inorganic salts needed by the body.
The foods you can choose are mutton, duck, soybean, walnut, chestnut, fungus, sesame, sweet potato and radish.
3, supplement vitamins, fruits and vegetables should eat well.
Vitamins play an important role in human immune system. When the body resists foreign invasion, the number and vitality of various immune cells are related to vitamins.
Autumn and winter are flu seasons. Don't forget to take vitamin supplements every day. You can also eat more fresh vegetables and fruits rich in vitamin C, such as kiwi fruit and oranges. In order to keep the respiratory mucosa moist, vitamin A should be supplemented. The best sources are fennel, carrots and cabbage. In addition, often eat a pinch of walnuts or sunflower seeds, rich in vitamin E.
4, different age groups, health care has a focus.
Winter is a very suitable season for tonic, which can store energy well, especially for people who are weak. But the tonic should be appropriate, according to different people.
Children's tonic in winter should be based on strengthening the spleen and nourishing the stomach. It is suggested that hawthorn, jujube and barley can be selected. Because of the pressure of study, many students don't sleep well, and their heart and kidney are deficient, so lotus seeds and Polygonum multiflorum can be chosen as the main tonics in winter.
Middle-aged people have a heavy burden and frequent daily entertainment, which will lead to loss of qi and blood. Therefore, winter tonic should pay attention to nourishing qi and blood, and it is recommended to choose longan, astragalus and angelica.
The elderly are often weak in winter, prone to some diseases, and the weather changes abnormally in winter, so the elderly are the key population for tonic in winter. If there is no disease, you can choose Eucommia ulmoides, Polygonum multiflorum and so on.
5. Sleep for an hour and be full of energy.
Keep healthy in autumn and winter, pay attention to shade collection, improve sleep quality, and get twice the result with half the effort. "Lying early in autumn and getting up early in winter" is the main fitness method at this time. As for the specific sleep time, it is suggested to rest at midnight every night (i.e. 9: 00-1 1: 00) and try to fall asleep at midnight (11:00). Because childhood is the time when yang is the weakest and yin is the most abundant, sleeping at this time can nourish yin and the quality of sleep is the best, which can often achieve twice the result with half the effort.
6, exercise should be moderate, soaking feet is also ok.
Exercise can exercise bones and muscles, improve metabolism and promote blood circulation, but exercise should be moderate and avoid being too intense. Exercise in winter must be in a sunny place, and it is most suitable between 10 and 3 pm.
In addition, after a day's activities, you can insist on soaking your feet with hot water to help blood circulation and improve the quality of sleep, so it is recommended to do it before going to bed. Soak your feet with water at about 40 degrees Celsius for half an hour before going to bed until it gets hot, but you don't sweat obviously. After soaking your feet, it is better to stop doing other activities and fall asleep every few minutes.
