Minor Cold is one of the coldest solar terms in a year. Cold is a yin evil, its nature is contracting, congesting and stagnant, and it can easily damage the body's yang energy. The basic principle of health preservation during the Minor Cold is still the motto in the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine: "Nourish the Yang in spring and summer, and nourish the Yin in autumn and winter." In winter, all things are stored, and health preservation should follow the trend of nature, store the Yin essence, gather the essence and energy inside to moisten the five internal organs. 2. Minor Cold is one of the coldest solar terms in the year, and the first priority when dressing at this time is to keep warm. During this solar term, people with heart disease and high blood pressure often have their conditions worsened, and the number of people suffering from stroke increases. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the blood in the human body is easy to flow when it is warm, but easily stagnates when it is cold. The saying "blood coagulates when it encounters cold" is exactly this principle. Therefore, you must keep warm during this solar term, especially the head, neck, back, hands and feet, which are prone to cold. 3. The diet during the Lesser Cold should be mainly warm and nourishing, with special emphasis on "tonifying the kidneys and preventing cold." Mutton is the preferred food for nourishing the body during the Lesser Cold solar term. "Bencao Jizhu" said: Mutton enters the spleen, stomach, and kidney meridians, its nature and flavor are sweet and hot, it can warm the middle and strengthen the spleen, nourish the kidney and strengthen yang, replenish qi and nourish blood, it is used to treat spleen and stomach deficiency and cold, loss of appetite and nausea, diarrhea, kidney yang deficiency, qi and blood deficiency, consumptive emaciation, soreness of the waist and knees, impotence, cold hernia, postpartum weakness and shortness of breath, lack of milk, etc. Often eating mutton in winter can not only increase the body's heat and resist the cold, but also has therapeutic and tonic effects on general cold cough, chronic bronchitis, cold asthma, kidney deficiency and impotence, abdominal cold pain, physical weakness and fear of cold, soreness of waist and knees, sallow complexion and thin muscles, deficiency of qi and blood, and other deficiency syndromes. 4. There is a folk saying: "Exercise in the winter, and you will have fewer illnesses; be lazy in the winter, and you will have to drink more medicine." People who are good at health preservation should insist on physical exercise in winter to achieve the effects of nourishing the liver and kidneys, relaxing muscles and tendons, unblocking qi and blood vessels, and enhancing their own resistance. For example, yoga, Tai Chi, walking, jogging, skipping rope, shuttlecock kicking, playing ball, doing exercises, etc. are all suitable for winter exercise.What should we pay attention to in health preservation during Xiaohan?1. Not too early. It is best to do physical exercise after the sun comes out and the temperature rises. When there is strong wind, haze, or cold air, it is best not to exercise outdoors. You can do some simple exercise activities indoors. Try to reduce the number of times you go out at night to avoid damaging your yang. 2. Before exercising, be sure to do adequate warm-up exercises. 3. When exercising, be sure not to sweat profusely to avoid leakage of yang energy. |
