What day is Xiaohan?The Minor Cold solar term is based on the sun's revolution position, which usually reaches 285° of the ecliptic longitude on or around January 6th of the Gregorian calendar each year, which is the Minor Cold Day.Minor Cold is the twenty-third solar term in the traditional twenty-four solar terms, and is also the fifth solar term in winter. The temperature is very cold at this time, and we need to take precautions against cold and keep warm on a daily basis. What to eat during Xiaohan?During the Minor Cold solar term, the weather is cold and the ground is frozen. The spleen is dry and hates dampness, and the stomach hates coldness.Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the coldest solar term is the period when Yin evil is at its peak, and the diet should focus on "warming and nourishing" to prevent the cold. You can eat more beef, mutton, pork, etc. which are high in calories. This can strengthen your body and resist the invasion of severe cold. In addition, you can also eat more foods such as kelp, cabbage, leek, sweet potato, red dates, and radish. These things can be paired with meat to make the nutritional intake more balanced and reasonable. The Lesser Cold season is a good time to eat spicy hot pot and braised lamb. However, when "taking tonic" you should avoid overeating and instead focus on replenishing Qi and moistening dryness. Different tonics are given according to different physical conditions: 1. For people with qi deficiency, the main focus is on replenishing qi. If they suffer from sweating and mental fatigue, red ginseng, red dates, and Chinese yam are recommended. 2. For people with blood deficiency, the main focus is on blood supplementation. If you are prone to dizziness, palpitations, insomnia, scanty menstruation, etc., you can use angelica, rehmannia, donkey-hide gelatin, etc. 3. For Yin deficiency constitution, the main focus is on tonifying Yin. For example, if there are night sweats, flushed cheeks, and hot hands and feet, Cordyceps sinensis, white ginseng, adenophora, turtle shell, and white fungus are suitable. 4. For yang deficiency constitution, the main approach is to tonify yang. If you have cold hands and feet, fear of cold, and back pain, you can use Eucommia ulmoides, Cistanche deserticola, Morinda officinalis, etc. In short, remember the following when you eat tonic food during the Minor Cold: The earth is frozen and extremely cold, and the geese migrate to the sun to nourish the heart. At this time, jogging and playing shuttlecock can help you be optimistic and prevent kidney cold. Warming and nourishing food supplements are available in the 39th day of the lunar month, including Polygonum multiflorum, donkey-hide gelatin, angelica sinensis, Astragalus membranaceus and ginseng. Nourish yin, suppress yang, nourish the liver and blood, nourish the heart and consolidate essence. |
