Heavy snow is the 20th solar term of winter, and it is also the time when the cold is most pronounced. At this time, the weather gradually gets colder, the temperature plummets, and the body's functions will also weaken. Therefore, according to the characteristics of the heavy snow season, we should reasonably adjust our daily Xi habits and diet to maintain the health of the body.
First of all, keep warm during heavy snowfall. As the temperature plummets, we need to take care to maintain adequate body temperature and wear appropriate clothing. Especially for the elderly and children, it is necessary to strengthen the warmth to avoid the occurrence of colds and other diseases caused by colds.
Secondly, in the heavy snow season, we should pay attention to dietary care. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the heavy snow season is a good time to take tonic. You can eat more warm foods, such as glutinous rice, red dates, longan, etc., to nourish the spleen and stomach and warm yang qi. At the same time, it is also necessary to eat some foods that nourish yin and moisturize, such as pears, lilies, white fungus, etc., to replenish water in the body.
In addition to food choices, we can also use traditional Chinese medicine for conditioning. During the heavy snowfall season, you can take some Chinese herbs that have a warming effect, such as aconite, cinnamon, etc., to enhance the yang energy in the body. At the same time, you can also take some traditional Chinese medicine that nourishes yin and moisturizes dryness, such as Radix Radix, Mai Dong, etc., to prevent the body from coughing, constipation and other symptoms due to dryness.
In addition, it is important to maintain an appropriate amount of exercise during heavy snowfall. The low temperature in winter can easily lead to poor blood circulation and affect the body's metabolism. Therefore, we can choose some indoor exercises, such as tai chi, yoga, etc., to help activate the body's qi and blood and enhance physical fitness.
Finally, pay attention to psychological adjustment during the heavy snowfall season. The climate in winter is cold and the sun is short, which can easily affect people's mood. We can improve our mood and enhance our ability to resist cold by bathing in the sun, listening, reading, etc.
To sum up, the key points of health preservation in the snowy season include four aspects: keeping warm, diet, exercising appropriately and psychological adjustment. We should adjust our living Xi habits according to our actual situation, arrange our diet reasonably, enhance our physical fitness, and maintain our health. Only a healthy winter can be spent in a warm, healthy way.
