It is the winter solstice of another year, and the number of nine cold days has officially kicked off.
Compared to previous years, this winter seems to be a little colder. Before the "count nine" began, many places had already fallen below minus ten degrees. Ms. Zhang, 50, recently felt that her joints were so weak that she was even "trembling" in her bones. She suspected that she was suffering from arthritis, so she went to the Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine on the recommendation of a friend and hung up a specialist number. However, after the diagnosis, the doctor told her that this was a sign of kidney deficiency.
When the temperature drops, the blood vessels in the human body constrict, the blood circulation is not smooth, and the inflammatory factors and acids in the blood are stagnant around the bones and cannot be removed, and discomfort such as joint pain also follows.
In the view of traditional Chinese medicine, the kidney is the main store of essence, which is the storehouse of the source of life, and whether the kidney essence is full or not has an important impact on all parts of our body. "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" mentions: "The kidney is the main bone and marrow", and the growth, development and repair of bones come from the filling, nourishment and promotion of kidney essence. Especially like menopausal women, the kidney essence turns from prosperity to decline, unable to nourish bones, and the body will also have a series of uncomfortable symptoms. Therefore, if you want to improve your symptoms, you need to start by filling in the kidneys.
Studies have found that some traditional Chinese medicines have a good effect on kidney essence deficiency, such as the innovative Chinese patent medicine Bazi tonifying the kidney, which selects wolfberry, dodder seed, Cnidium monnieri and other eight flavors with the effect of nourishing kidney essence, plus deer antler, ginseng and other precious medicinal materials to make the bone marrow biochemical active, can help bones to regain their youthful vitality, very suitable for these symptoms of the female body.
Hebei Medical University, Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and other universities have also found in research that Bazi Kidney Supplement can inhibit the aging of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in organisms, promote osteogenic differentiation, improve bone microstructure and improve bone strength, increase bone trabecular density and reduce resolution, thereby effectively delaying the pace of bone aging.
In addition, the maintenance of bones should also be strengthened in winter, because winter is the "best period" for bone nourishment, and eating foods high in oil and salt and high fat will cause damage to bones and accelerate bone aging. We should try to avoid fatty and greasy foods in our daily life, and we can consume more foods that are high in calcium, protein and vitamin D, such as milk, soy products, green leafy vegetables, shrimp skin, etc.
In winter, when the temperature is low, the body's blood circulation slows down, and the coordination of limbs also deteriorates. If you don't exercise for a long time, your bones will also accelerate aging, so you should still maintain a proper and moderate amount of exercise in winter, and you can choose low-intensity exercises such as walking, jogging, tai chi, and tongluo exercises. It helps to energize our bones without over-exercising and damaging the body. In addition, proper exposure to the sun through outdoor exercise can help the body synthesize vitamin D, which can also play a certain role in preventing osteoporosis.
The winter solstice has arrived, and the coldest period has begun. I hope that each of us can grasp this critical period of bone maintenance and kidney nourishment, delay bone aging through a healthy lifestyle and appropriate drug conditioning, and comprehensively protect bone health!
