Follow Mr. Shui Mo's website and we will accompany you through the cold winter.

What to pay attention to during the winter solstice:

1. Keep warm <br /> The arrival of the winter solstice indicates that the weather will gradually get colder. Many places have the custom of counting the nine days from the winter solstice, and generally the third and fourth days are the coldest seasons of the year. Therefore, you should keep warm from the beginning of the winter solstice to avoid the cold, which is also a good way to protect the body's yang energy.
2. Eat in moderation <br /> When the winter solstice comes, you should be careful about what you eat. You should eat in moderation and not overeat. Eating too much will increase the burden on your stomach and intestines. When the winter solstice comes, the body's yang energy is relatively weak. Without too much yang energy to help the stomach and intestines digest, it will cause illness.
3. Exercise in moderation <br /> Around the winter solstice, the body's yin energy gradually increases and the yang energy becomes weak. It is not advisable to do strenuous exercise at this time. Strenuous exercise will cause the body to sweat a lot. Excessive sweating will affect the body's yang energy, which is not good for the human body. Therefore, exercise in moderation before and after the winter solstice.
4. Keep a good mood <br /> During the winter solstice, the key to health preservation is to nourish the heart. This requires us to pay more attention to our mood during the winter solstice. We should keep our mood comfortable, calm our mind, be less anxious, and not lose our temper easily. When the mind is calm, all aspects of the body will return to normal, which is beneficial to physical health.
5. Eat less spicy food <br /> During the winter solstice, the weather is getting colder day by day, and many people like to eat hot pot. The spicier the hot pot base, the more flavorful it is. But do you know that it is not advisable to eat too spicy food during the winter solstice? Too spicy food is not good for maintaining the body's yang energy, so eat less spicy food during the winter solstice.
6. Get enough sleep <br /> The winter solstice is here and the weather is getting colder. In addition to keeping warm to prevent the cold from invading the body, you should also pay attention to getting more rest and not staying up late. Go to bed before 11pm every day and develop a habit of going to bed on time. Keeping your body healthy during the winter solstice can reduce the risk of disease.

How to maintain health during the Winter Solstice?

1. To nourish the kidneys first, internal coldness should be directed to the kidneys. The kidneys are the driving force of human life and the "innate foundation" of the human body. In winter, the body's yang energy is restrained and the body's physiological activities are also restrained. At this time, the kidneys must prepare enough energy to maintain winter heat expenditure and store a certain amount of energy for the coming year, so it is crucial to nourish the kidneys at this time. In terms of diet, you should always pay attention to the conditioning of the kidneys, pay attention to the supplement of calories, eat more animal foods and beans, and supplement vitamins and inorganic salts. Dog meat, mutton, goose meat, duck meat, soybeans, walnuts, chestnuts, fungus, sesame, sweet potatoes, radishes, etc. are all suitable foods for winter.
2. Avoid warm food: Hard, sticky, raw and cold foods are mostly yin, and eating such foods in winter can easily damage the spleen and stomach. However, overheated food can easily damage the esophagus, and once it enters the stomach and intestines, it can easily cause heat accumulation in the body and lead to illness; overcold food can easily stimulate the spleen and stomach blood vessels, causing poor blood flow, and the reduced blood volume will seriously affect the blood circulation of other organs and damage human health. Therefore, winter food should be warm and soft.
3. Increase bitterness and reduce saltiness . In winter, the kidney function is relatively strong. If you eat more salty foods, the kidney qi will become stronger, which will greatly damage the heart, weaken the heart strength and affect human health. Therefore, in winter, you should eat less salty foods to prevent excessive kidney water; eat more bitter foods to nourish the heart and enhance kidney function. Commonly used foods include: betel nut, orange, pork liver, lamb liver, kohlrabi, lettuce, vinegar, tea, etc.
