As mid-January 2024 approaches, another important time node for farmers has been ushered in, that is, "Sanjiu".When it comes to Sanjiu, many people will think of "counting nine cold days, cold in Sanjiu", or "three nine, forty-nine, freezing cats and dogs", etc., and the folk do regard Sanjiu as the coldest and most dangerous period of the year.
In traditional culture, "1929 does not make a move, 3949 walks on ice" vividly describes the cold of this season. However, this year's Sanjiu is not very cold, at least there is not as cold weather as everyone imagined.
But in order to survive this cold winter safely, everyone should not take it lightly. When the thirty-ninth day arrives, remind everyone to "1 to hide, 2 to eat, 3 not to do, and avoid 2 things", so as to spend the winter healthily and safely!
As the old saying goes, "hot in the dog days, cold in the three nines", the three nine days are the coldest time of the year, especially in the previous winter, the "three nine days" are the most difficult. So at this moment, we need to learn to hide from the cold.
Of course, the "hiding" here does not mean avoiding the cold and not going out, but to reasonably arrange the time for outdoor activities under the premise of keeping warm. Morning and evening temperatures are usually cooler, so you should minimize outdoor activity to avoid the cold.
If you do need to do outdoor activities, be sure to keep warm and wear warm supplies such as gloves, hats, and scarves to avoid problems such as colds and joint pain.
Winter is a good season for health preservation, and during the period of 39 days, we should pay more attention to dietary conditioning. The ancients advocated the theory of "summer disease and winter cure", saying that it was an appropriate amount of tonic during the Sanjiu period, so that it could also prevent summer disease.
The "eating" here mainly refers to eating more warm foods to replenish the calories and nutrients needed by the body. For example, mutton, beef, chicken and other meat foods, it is recommended that you choose more warm foods according to your physical condition and family economic conditions, which will help improve the body's ability to resist cold.
In addition, winter is also a good season for tonic, for some middle-aged and elderly people, or children can also eat some tonic products appropriately, such as ginseng, wolfberry, etc., to enhance the body's immunity.
At the same time, we should also pay attention to the light and moderate diet. The winter diet should not be too greasy and spicy, so as not to cause a burden on the stomach. You can eat some light foods in moderation, such as porridge, soup, etc., to maintain the health of the stomach and intestines.
For example, in ancient China, during the Laba Festival, there was a custom of drinking Laba porridge, which is very reasonable. And the Laba Festival is during the March 9 period. In addition, you should pay attention to the right amount of your diet and do not overeat.
In the cold season of 39 days, we also need to pay special attention to some behaviors that should not be done. The "don'ts" here mainly refer to behaviors that avoid adverse effects on the body.
First of all, it is not advisable to stay outdoors for long periods of time. If it is not necessary, you should minimize the time spent outdoors to avoid exposure to severe cold. If you want to go out, you must take measures to protect your head, neck and feet from the cold, and it is recommended that everyone wear hats, scarves, etc.
Secondly, it is not advisable to exercise excessively. While proper exercise contributes to good health, excessive exercise in a cold environment may lead to physical discomfort.
In particular, strenuous exercise can lead to sweating, which is not good for the body, and can easily lead to colds and illnesses. It is recommended to do a moderate amount of exercise indoors, to sweat slightly, or to keep warm when exercising outdoors.
In addition, it is not advisable to stay in an air-conditioned room for a long time. We should dress more according to the change in temperature, rather than staying in an air-conditioned room for a long time.
Now the conditions are good, basically every household has air conditioning, some people not only turn on the air conditioning in the company during the day, but also turn on the air conditioning when they come home at night, and they must turn on the air conditioning to sleep, but it is not good for the body to turn on the air conditioning for a long time.
We should pay attention to keeping the room ventilated, opening the doors and windows regularly, allowing fresh air to come in, and indoor air to go out, which will make people more comfortable.
In this season, we need to avoid two things. First of all, "avoid anger." Winter is a good time to maintain health, and one of the important principles of health preservation is "peace of mind".
During the winter months, we should keep our mood cheerful and avoid mood swings and anger. Because mood swings may have adverse effects on the body, especially for some elderly people, if they often have great mood swings in the cold season, they can hurt the body and the mood swings may also aggravate the discomfort of the body. Therefore, "avoid anger" is a point that we need to pay special attention to in winter.
Secondly, "avoid greed for warmth". The temperature is low in winter, and some people are afraid of the cold, so they love warmth, which can be said to be the kind that they can't do without for a minute, such as using air conditioners, electric heaters and other heating equipment for a long time.
This kind of behavior is not only not good for the body, but may cause some health or safety problems. Therefore, we need to pay special attention to one point in winter. When using heating equipment, it is necessary to maintain a suitable temperature, avoid excessive heating, and pay attention to the safe use of fire and electricity.
