ushered inWinter solsticeSolar terms.
Since ancient times, there has been a custom of "counting nine" among the people of our country.
From the winter solstice, every nine days is counted as a "nine".
Count "ninety-nine" eighty-one days after "out of nine".
The cold winter is almost over.
Warm spring is coming.
The winter solstice is a period of transformation of yin and yang.
It's also a great time to take care of yourself.
Winter solstice living
Have a regular schedule.
In winter, the days are short and the nights are long, and the climate is cold, so we should adjust the work and rest time appropriately according to the time of day, go to bed early to nourish yang qi, and get up late to fix yin essence.
However, it is relatively good to go to bed early and wake up late in the morning, and it is generally believed that going to bed earlier and waking up half an hour later than usual is enough.
Long-term bed rest is not conducive to health preservation, but will also create stagnation of qi and blood in the body, and qi reversal.
Winter solstice diet
Diet to nourish the kidneys.
During the winter solstice, the climate is cold, and the diet should also be "hidden", the so-called "winter solstice tonic, spring tiger".
On the whole, the diet should be based on nourishing yang, essence and kidney.
The kidney is the innate foundation", the kidney is the main essence of the kidney, it should be hidden and not diarrhea, and it needs to be nourished by diet. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that foods with black and salty colors can enter the kidneys and replenish deficiency, such as black sesame seeds, black beans, black rice, black wolfberry, hair cabbage, etc.
In addition, warming away the cold is another important principle of winter solstice dietary conditioning, that is, warm food to help the sun. At this time, you can eat more mutton, river shrimp, leeks, cinnamon and other foods in moderation.
Tips:
The winter solstice is a good time to take supplements, but "too much".
On the winter solstice, you should not eat excessively spicy food, in order to prevent the yang from starting the fire, resulting in the accumulation of internal heat and the rush of heat.
It can be appropriately paired with some foods that have the effect of tonifying and nourishing liquid, such as water chestnut, lotus root, pear, radish, cabbage, etc., to maintain the balance of yin and yang in the kidney.
Winter solstice attire
Go to the cold and warm it. 
To put it simply, it is to avoid wind and cold, add clothes in time, and pay special attention to the cold and warmth of the head, face and feet.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the head and face are the meeting of the sun, and they are often exposed to the outside and are easily disturbed by cold and evil spirits, so special attention should be paid to the warmth and protection of the head and face outdoors.
The cold starts from the feet, the feet are the farthest apart, the blood ** is slow and less, the subcutaneous fat is thinner, the ability to resist the cold is poor, and it is more susceptible to cold.
In addition to wearing shoes and socks with good warmth, you can also soak your feet in hot water every night before going to bed to relax your muscles and activate your muscles and promote the flow of qi and blood.
For people suffering from chilblains, you can choose to soak in the juice of ephedra, cinnamon branches, Sichuan pepper, fine spice and other traditional Chinese medicines, which has a good effect.
Tips:
There are two points to pay attention to in winter heating.
One isDo not overheat, so as not to have too large temperature difference between indoor and outdoor, which will increase the risk of inducing hypertension, coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction and other diseases. The indoor temperature should be 5 8 higher than the outdoor temperature, and it is generally controlled at 18 25 to avoid the leakage of yang energy.
The second isPay attention to open the window regularly for ventilation, generally every day for half an hour of regular ventilation. Long-term indoor confinement will lead to a sharp increase in carbon dioxide, which will greatly reduce indoor air quality, which is not conducive to physical health.
Winter Solstice Movement
The intensity should be small. 
In winter, the cold is heavier, and the body's qi and blood are relatively stagnant, so exercise should be slow and sweat slightly.
It is necessary to choose the duration and degree of exercise according to your actual situation, and choose some exercise with low intensity in combination with the characteristics of many winter clothes and yang energy that is easy to accumulate in the body, so that the body is hot and slightly sweaty, and it can also promote the smooth flow of qi and blood in the body.
Tai Chi, Baduan Jin, Yi Jin Jing and other traditional health sports venues require small requirements, moderate amount of exercise, high safety, and are suitable for all ages, which are suitable exercises for winter purposes.
Young people can increase muscle strength exercises according to their own conditions, especially in the legs, buttocks, waist and abdomen and other areas that are prone to fat accumulation.
It should be noted that it is important to do a good warm-up activity before exercising, and it is also very important to relax and hydrate in time after exercise.
Winter solstice mood
Gentle and pleasant. 
Individuals with a peaceful physique, due to the balance and stability of yin, yang, qi and blood in the viscera, generally appear to be happy, optimistic and cheerful.
And some middle-aged and elderly people are quiet and introverted, don't like to talk, and are depressed;Others are irritable, bitter and suspicious.
These bad attitudes can affect interpersonal communication and affect physical health.
We should actively regulate our emotions, constantly enrich our old age, and replace sad and depressed moods with happy ones.
You can also listen to more** and choose some relaxed, festive, beautiful and cheerful melodies to promote your feelings.
Emotional peace, mental pleasure is smooth qi and blood, camp and health circulation, which is naturally conducive to maintaining health.
The winter solstice also marks the end of the year.
It's over today.

Winter solstice, blessed solstice!
May the winter come as promised.
