Because the climate is changing and our physical condition is changing, people can appropriately adjust their daily diet, preserve vitality, achieve a balance between yin and yang, and maintain health during this change.
Prevention of colds
Cold is a relatively common respiratory tract infection. In life, many people don't take colds seriously, even without taking medicine or taking a rest. "They do not know that colds and fever can also cause diseases such as pneumonia and myocarditis, and middle-aged and elderly men should pay particular attention.". According to experts, winter is the season with a high incidence of colds. Proper family prevention and care can play a good role in preventing and treating colds. First of all, we should cultivate good habits: after work, we should pay attention to rest, take appropriate physical exercise, and combine work and rest to improve immunity; Adhering to washing your face with cold water every day can increase your cold tolerance to prevent colds and rhinitis. It is advisable to use a water temperature higher than 10 degrees Celsius; Eat a reasonable diet and eat more hot foods, such as garlic and onions. Garlic has the function of killing bacteria and viruses, and garlic is best eaten raw, because raw garlic has the effect of resisting viruses and improving body immunity. Onions are also a natural antiseptic food that can effectively resist viruses and bacteria.
Attention 2: Be alert to snoring
Don't take snoring seriously. According to statistics, 30% of residents have sleep disorders, more men than women, and middle-aged men are the high risk group of sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is also known as snoring. According to experts, after entering winter, the cold population increases, and respiratory diseases increase. Middle-aged and elderly men tend to sleep with their heads covered, causing snoring to become increasingly serious. Snoring can induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, sudden death, dementia, sexual dysfunction, and other diseases. It has been listed by doctors as a high-risk factor endangering human health. It should be diagnosed and treated early to reduce the occurrence of complications.
Scientific living and exercise can also help maintain kidney essence. You should lie down early and get up late. It's best to wait until the sun comes out and get up when the sun is exposed. Don't let your skin sweat too much. In winter, we should strengthen physical exercise, carry out more physical activities within our capabilities, and improve disease resistance.
In addition, in winter, when people are in a state of "yin flourishing and yang declining", men should strengthen their back to keep warm, which helps to increase the yang qi in their kidneys.
The diet in winter has its own characteristics. Some hot foods, such as mutton and dog meat, are isothermal and can strengthen the kidney and yang. Those with a weak and cold constitution can eat them appropriately, while those with a cold nature should eat fewer foods. In addition, the diet should not be too salty, as the salty taste enters the kidney, making the kidney water colder, affecting the deficiency of heart yang, and adversely affecting the heart.
