What are the health-preserving principles during the Great Cold?

Dress warmly and pay attention to "warm feet in cold weather"
Regarding "cold head": Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "the head is the meeting point of all yang". The body's yang meridians and governing vessel both pass through the head. It is the place where the body's yang is most abundant and can resist external cold. Proper cooling of the head is not only good for health, but also can stimulate the blood vessels and nerves in the head and keep the brain clear.
Regarding "warm feet"; Chinese medicine believes that the feet are the starting point of the three yin meridians of the liver, spleen, and kidney, and the terminal point of the three yang meridians of the stomach, gallbladder, and bladder. Many acupoints under the feet are closely related to the internal organs. Cold feet will affect the normal circulation of the six meridians of the feet and affect physical health.
The diet emphasizes "nourishing yin and replenishing yang"
Everyone is familiar with the dietary principles, because winter is the season for storage, and it is the time when Yang energy is restrained. Yang energy accumulates in the human body. When it is cold outside, the pores on the body surface automatically close, and the internal heat in the human body cannot be dissipated, making it easy to have oral ulcers, sore throat and other internal heat symptoms. Therefore, the emphasis is on nourishing Yin and regulating internal heat. Starting from the Great Cold, we should slowly mobilize the body's yang energy, adapt to the characteristics of nature, and welcome the arrival of spring in a healthy manner.
Soothe your emotions and focus on mental care
In winter, the temperature is low, the world is covered with ice and snow, and everything is bleak. People pay attention to keeping warm physically, but tend to neglect mental care, which can easily lead to depression, low mood and other "mental cold" symptoms. In addition to keeping warm physically in winter, we should also pay attention to keeping warm mentally. In daily life, we should often close our eyes and let our brain rest more. Listening to some favorite music, watching some interesting TV series, chatting with like-minded people, sharing joy, telling sorrows, and focusing on activities that are beneficial to physical and mental health are all helpful for keeping warm mentally.
