Five principles of health preservation in winter
First, sun protection in daily life. Go to bed early and get up late on work and rest; In terms of clothing, we should follow the temperature changes and keep warm.
Second, supplement it appropriately. Winter corresponds to the kidney, and the diet should be based on tonifying the kidney. You can eat some black rice, black sesame seeds and so on. Furthermore, in addition to nutrients, we should also consider the temperature of food. Avoid eating food directly in the refrigerator in winter. The food you want to eat must be warm. Spleen and stomach are the foundation of the day after tomorrow. Strengthening the spleen and stomach can also nourish the innate kidney essence.
Third, keep your spirit inside. Lack of sunshine and less exercise in winter can easily lead to depression. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain a relatively peaceful state mentally and psychologically, and not to be disturbed too much by the outside world, so as to protect the yang and reduce the loss of yin essence. It is very important to regulate emotions in winter, to ensure that the seven emotions are not excessive, and at the same time consciously self-regulate. For example, read more positive literary works. When the weather is fine, try to go out and do some exercise as much as possible.
Fourth, moderate exercise. From the point of view of daily health, winter is not suitable for strenuous exercise with excessive sweating. First of all, sweat is the liquid of the heart and the yin essence of the human body. Second, the sweat pores are open and the human body is vulnerable to cold. Therefore, the exercise standard of winter health preservation is to sweat slightly after exercise and feel slightly warm and comfortable. Moderate exercise can help digestion and avoid excessive weight gain.
Fifth, nourish yin and moisten dryness. In some places, there is heating in winter, and the room temperature is too high, so you may eat a lot of high-calorie things, which is easy to get angry and get hot. Therefore, in the environment, we should pay attention to the indoor air humidity, use a humidifier when it is dry, or put a little water at home to let the water evaporate, which is good for the skin. Moreover, drinking more warm water is also a way.
What food is better to eat raw in winter? First, people often eat yam in their lives. Yam is a food with the same origin of medicine and food. In winter, many people like to use it to make soup or hot pot, which is very popular with people. In fact, people eat yam in winter, which has a protective effect on human cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and also has a good nourishing effect on the body. It is a good nourishing food, which is very suitable for eating in winter, mainly because yam contains amylase, which is beneficial to digestion and absorption of the spleen and stomach.
Second, sweet potatoes Eating sweet potatoes in winter is also good for your health. Sweet potato is rich in dietary fiber, which can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and accelerate the excretion of toxins in the body. Especially for people with constipation, eating sweet potatoes can also improve and even help lower cholesterol. Therefore, people can eat sweet potatoes in moderation in winter, which has a nourishing effect on the body. No matter which cooking method is used, its nutritional value is not easy to lose, and eating sweet potatoes will not get angry.
Third, eating chestnuts in winter can also nourish the body. Chestnut contains high calcium, which is effective in preventing osteoporosis. It is a good calcium supplement food. In addition, chestnut also contains a lot of unsaturated fatty acids, which also has a preventive effect on hypertension and coronary heart disease. It is worth noting that it is recommended to cook or boil chestnuts. Roasted chestnuts are high in calories, and it is easy to get angry when eaten frequently, which is not good for human health.
Fourth, pears are dry in winter, and the weather is cold. Many people don't like drinking water. If the body is short of water for a long time, or there is little water, it is not conducive to the body's metabolic rate. Once the body's metabolism slows down, it is prone to constipation or other diseases. Pear contains a lot of water, and also has the effects of reducing fire, moistening lung and relieving cough, which is very suitable for winter consumption.
Through the above brief introduction, everyone has a further understanding of what food to eat and nourish in winter. In fact, people may wish to eat these foods in moderation in their lives, which will also have a nourishing effect on the body. In addition, it is very important to pay attention to scientific diet in peacetime, so as to achieve a balanced diet and avoid the bad eating habits of picky eaters and partial eclipse, otherwise it will cause nutritional deficiency for a long time and have adverse effects on the body.
What can't be done in winter health care?
First, it is not appropriate to stay up late: the temperature drops significantly after winter, and people are vulnerable to cold. Facing the sudden cold, the human body can't adapt quickly. If you often stay up late, your physical function will be reduced and your immunity will be affected. At this time, you are easy to catch a cold. As the saying goes, "go to bed early to nourish yang, and get up late to solidify yin essence." Therefore, it is necessary to ensure adequate sleep in winter health preservation, which is conducive to the accumulation of latent yang and yin and body fluid and is very beneficial to regulating immunity.
Second, don't blindly supplement food: although winter is a good time to supplement food, you must not blindly supplement it, otherwise it will be counterproductive; For example, some people think that it is easy to catch a cold in winter, and they all like to drink ginger soup to make up for it; But in fact, it is easier to "fire" in winter; So tonic should also distinguish between cold and heat. The winter diet is mainly peaceful and moist, such as drinking more porridge and putting some jujube, medlar, longan, tremella and lily properly, which can be tonic but not greasy, moist and not dry, and is a good tonic in winter.
Third, it is not appropriate to close the window: it is cold in winter, and many people are afraid of blowing cold after opening the window for ventilation; But this is not the case. In winter, the indoor heating temperature is high, the humidity will be greatly reduced, and people are prone to get sick. Therefore, in dry areas, you can generally buy a humidifier, or sprinkle some water on the ground before going to bed to increase humidity and maintain a balance between temperature and humidity. In addition, you should drink plenty of water, replenish water in time and speed up metabolism.
Fourth, it is not suitable for depression and anxiety to get angry: the days are getting shorter and shorter in winter, and the nights are getting longer and longer; People are prone to anxiety, depression and bad mood, so at this time, we must adjust ourselves, communicate with others or watch some comedies, and participate in outdoor activities.
