Cold is a yin evil, so we need to eat more warm food for nourishment, so as to resist the invasion of cold climate on our body.
Foods that are hot in nature include peppers, cinnamon, trout, etc.
Warm foods include glutinous rice, pumpkin, garlic, chicken, silver carp, sea cucumber, etc.
】 Health tips and precautions during the Minor Cold <br /> According to meteorological records, the Minor Cold is often colder than the Major Cold. Cold is a yin evil that can easily damage yang energy, so the theme of health preservation at this time is to nourish the kidneys and prevent cold.
The kidneys control the yang of the whole body. Many people think that nourishing the kidneys and strengthening yang are things that men should worry about. In fact, women also have the phenomenon of insufficient yang, such as cold hands and feet, fear of cold, back pain, etc. The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine says: "The kidney comes from the Yongquan, which is the center of the foot."
On winter nights, insist on soaking your feet before going to bed. The water temperature should be kept above 40 degrees, the water should cover the ankle joints, and the time should be half an hour. During this time, massage the Yongquan acupoint for at least 10 minutes. It is better than tonic in detoxification, sleep aid and kidney strengthening.
