The winter solstice is an important solar term in China's lunar calendar, and it is also the longest night and shortest day of the year. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "the winter solstice is as big as the year", on this day, how do we maintain our health?As a nutritionist, I will share with you some knowledge points of winter solstice health preservation from the aspects of diet, work and rest, exercise, etc.
First of all, we need to pay attention to our diet. During the winter solstice, the climate is cold, and the human body needs a lot of energy to resist the cold. Therefore, we should pay attention to increasing caloric intake to ensure adequate nutrition for the body. In the diet, you can appropriately increase high-calorie, high-protein foods, such as meat, nuts, milk, etc. In addition, it is also necessary to maintain a variety of diets to ensure a balanced intake of various nutrients.
Second, we need to adjust our schedule. During the winter solstice, the days are short and the nights are long, so we must adapt to the changes in nature and adjust our work and rest time. Get enough sleep, go to bed early and wake up late, and avoid staying up late. At the same time, you can take a proper lunch break at noon, which is conducive to the mental state in the afternoon.
In addition, exercise is also an important part of winter solstice health. Moderate exercise can enhance the body's ability to resist cold, improve metabolism, and enhance immunity. During the winter solstice, you can choose indoor sports such as yoga and aerobics. Outdoor sports should also pay attention to cold and warmth to avoid colds.
In addition, during the winter solstice, you should also pay attention to maintaining a good mood. Low mood can affect the body's immune function and easily trigger colds and other diseases. We can regulate our emotions and keep our mood happy by listening, reading, and gathering with friends.
During the winter solstice, there are also some traditional health preservation methods, such as winter solstice moxibustion, winter solstice bath, etc. Winter solstice moxibustion refers to moxibustion at this time, which can warm the meridians, reconcile qi and blood, and improve immunity. Winter solstice bathing refers to soaking in hot springs on the day of the winter solstice, which helps to drive away the cold and keep warm, and relax the body and mind.
