Counting nine cold days, the heart has to step through five hurdles, and don't commit these 4 health taboos
With the arrival of winter, the temperature gradually decreases, and TCM believes that this is the period of high incidence of heart disease. During this period, the heart needs more attention and protection.
In order to protect heart health, we need to know some contraindications to avoid unnecessary burden on the heart.
1.Overwork.
During the cold winter months, people tend to reduce outdoor activities and increase the amount of time spent indoors due to cooler temperatures. However, staying indoors for a long time and lacking the right amount of exercise can easily lead to physical fatigue and increase the burden on the heart. Therefore, we should exercise properly and maintain good health.
2.Mood swings.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that mood swings can have an impact on the heart. In winter, when the temperature is low, people are prone to negative emotions such as low mood, anxiety, and depression. These mood swings can lead to a lack of qi and blood, which can increase the burden on the heart. Therefore, we should maintain a good mood and avoid the adverse effects of mood swings on the heart.
3.Improper diet.
In winter, when temperatures are low, people tend to choose high-calorie foods to keep warm. However, too much high-calorie food can lead to obesity and increased blood lipids, which can increase the burden on the heart. Therefore, we should mix our diet reasonably, eat more vegetables, fruits and other fiber-rich foods to maintain good health.
4.Neglect to keep warm.
Temperatures are low in winter, and people tend to neglect measures to keep warm. Failure to keep warm will cause the body to be cold, affect the flow of qi and blood, and increase the burden on the heart. Therefore, we should pay attention to keeping warm, especially the parts that are prone to cold, such as the head and hands.
