In winter, if the kidney function is normal, it can adjust the body to adapt to changes in the severe winter. Otherwise, it will lead to metabolic disorders and diseases. The following points are the key points for implementing this principle.
Mental recuperation: In addition to paying attention to maintaining mental tranquility, one should also learn to adjust bad emotions in a timely manner when God is hidden inside. At the same time, it is necessary to prevent the occurrence of seasonal affective disorder in winter. The so-called seasonal affective disorder refers to the phenomenon that some people are prone to emotional depression, lethargy, lethargy, and other phenomena in winter, which occur year after year. The method of prevention is to get more sunlight to prolong the duration of sunlight, which is a natural therapy for regulating emotions.
Diet: The basic principle of winter diet regimen should be to "store calories". Therefore, the foods suitable for eating in winter include lamb, dog meat, goose, duck, radish, walnuts, chestnuts, sweet potatoes, etc. At the same time, the principle of "eating less salty and eating more bitter" should also be followed. Do not eat sticky, hard, raw or cold foods in winter because such foods can easily damage the yang qi of the spleen and stomach.
Living health care: The following points should be paid attention to in winter living health care: First of all, when dressing, it is important to speak of the "clothing climate", which means that the temperature between the inner layer of clothing and the skin should always be maintained at 32 ℃ - 33 ℃. This ideal "clothing climate" can cushion the impact of external cold weather on the human body; Secondly, pay attention to keeping your feet warm. Because the feet are farthest from the heart and have a low and slow blood supply, the skin temperature of the feet is the lowest. According to traditional Chinese medicine, cold feet inevitably affect the internal organs, leading to diarrhea, irregular menstruation, impotence, waist and leg pain, and other diseases; Third, regularly opening windows for ventilation in winter is beneficial to health; Fourth, it is not advisable to sleep with your head covered. Sleeping with a head covered in winter is extremely suitable for causing chest tightness and shortness of breath due to lack of oxygen; Fifth, avoid holding urine at night. Due to the longer winter nights, holding urine for a long time can cause toxic substances to accumulate and cause cystitis, urethritis, etc.
Exercise to strengthen the body: As the saying goes, "If you exercise in winter, you will have fewer illnesses; if you are lazy in winter, you will have more medicine to drink." Facts have proven that participating in outdoor activities in winter can provide the body with appropriate cold stimulation, accelerate heart beat, deepen breathing, strengthen metabolism in the body, and increase the amount of heat generated by the body, which is beneficial to health.
