New Year's Day is healthy
The New Year's holiday season is just around the corner, and for many people, it's a great time to relax and enjoy life. However, as an experienced veteran TCM practitioner, I would like to tell you that during this holiday season, we can better maintain our physical health and make ourselves better.
First of all, the New Year's holiday is a good opportunity to regain your strength. In our busy work, we often ignore our physical fatigue, which leads to physical exhaustion. Therefore, during this holiday, we can recover our strength with a moderate amount of rest. You can choose to do some light exercises, such as walking, tai chi, etc., in a warm and comfortable environment to promote blood circulation and qi and blood flow, so that the body can relax and rest.
Secondly, during the New Year's Day holiday, we can improve our own immunity by adjusting our diet. Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to the "homology of medicine and food", and food has certain medicinal effects. During this holiday, we can eat more foods with health benefits, such as vegetables, fruits, cereals, etc. These foods are rich in vitamins, minerals, and fiber, which can strengthen the body's resistance and improve immunity. In addition, we can also appropriately add some warm foods, such as ginger, green onions, garlic, etc., to help the operation of yang energy in the body and enhance the warmth in the body. However, it should be noted that according to your own physique and condition, you should reasonably match the ingredients and avoid excessive consumption of overly cold or hot food.
In addition, during the New Year's Day holiday, we can also enhance our health through some Chinese herbal conditioning. For example, if you are prone to feel cold hands and feet in the cold winter, you can try soaking your feet in ginger boiled water, or using mugwort leaves to regulate qi and invigorate blood circulation in your hands and feet. If you often suffer from insomnia, you can drink it with goji berries soaked in water, or use chrysanthemums and lemon slices to soak in water to help relax your mind and relieve fatigue. Of course, if there is discomfort or adverse reactions in the process of using traditional Chinese medicine, you should stop using it in time and consult a doctor for guidance.
To sum up, the New Year's holiday is a good time to relax and enjoy life, but we can't ignore our physical health. By taking appropriate rest, adjusting our diet, and using traditional Chinese medicine to recuperate, we can maintain good health and live a better life. I hope you can have a pleasant holiday this holiday, and at the same time, you should always pay attention to your body and welcome the new year with a healthy body.
