As the saying goes, "Three-nine-four-nine, walk on ice", and we will also usher in the coldest period of winter after entering the 39th day. At this time, the cold is aggravated, the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor increases, and the risk of various diseases is relatively increased. Health preservation became one of the important themes of this period.
By taking care of your body in the cold weather, you can better face various challenges in the New Year. So, what should we pay attention to in the 39-day health preservation?
Establish a correct concept and find a scientific way to maintain health
In a person's life, sometimes choice is more important than effort, and the same is true for health. Choosing the right concept of wellness is like finding a good teacher who can keenly spot the mistakes we make and teach us the right way to do it. The Chinese Eight-Character Sutra of Health Preservation is such a good teacher.
The Chinese Tongluo Health Preservation Bazi Sutra absorbs the theoretical essence of the four major health preservation schools of Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism and medicine in China, and is composed of the eight characters of "Tongluo, Nourishing Essence, Moving Shape, and Calming the Spirit". With people's health as the core, these eight characters put forward systematic and specific health guidance from different perspectives in daily life, and strive to meet the needs of the public for health and longevity in contemporary society. For how to maintain health in the three or nine days, the Chinese Tongluo Health Eight-Character Sutra has also summarized the key points for us:
If you want to maintain your health in the third and ninth days, you must first avoid the health forbidden area
The Chinese Tongluo Health Eight-Character Sutra emphasizes that health preservation should "conform to the four seasons", and this is also the wisdom condensed by China's traditional health preservation thoughts. Those who are good at health should adjust their daily life, exercise, diet and other methods according to the changes of the four seasons. Judging from some seasonal characteristics unique to winter, we should take the yang energy hidden in the body and the accumulation of yin essence as the foundation, and carry out corresponding health preservation activities. If you want to hide the yang energy in your body, you must first avoid the health misunderstandings of winter.
When he woke up, he got up suddenly
When you wake up in the morning, your heart rate changes from slow to fast, your blood vessels constrict, your blood clotting substances increase relatively, and you are prone to blood clots. If you get up abruptly after waking up, your blood pressure will not go up, which will also cause symptoms of orthostatic hypotension such as dizziness, nausea, and weakness in your limbs.
It's too early for morning exercise
The morning of the 39th day was cold. If you go out to exercise too early, the excitability of the human sympathetic nerve will increase, and the secretion of adrenal corticosteroids will also increase, which can easily induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, it is best to schedule morning workouts after 7 a.m.
Failure to hydrate in a timely manner
In winter, the weather is relatively dry, and the human body is prone to yin and jin loss, and the lack of water is a manifestation. Dehydration in the body not only causes blood viscosity, leads to a decrease in blood oxygen content, affects the working state of the brain and organs throughout the body, but also increases the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Inattention to indoor ventilation
In winter, the weather is cold, and many people hardly open their windows to keep warm. But when the indoor ventilation is poor, the carbon dioxide exhaled by people will accumulate indoors, affecting physical health; In addition, if the indoor temperature is high in winter, it will also aggravate the loss of yin and jin, and it is more likely to have symptoms such as dry mouth and sore throat.
Thirty-nine days of health, but also moderate exercise
The Chinese Tongluo Health Eight-Character Sutra believes that winter health preservation is mainly "hidden", but this does not mean that we should stay still. If you don't exercise for a long time, your body will inevitably "rust", and proper exercise is like lubricating oil, which can make your body flexible, your blood and qi flow, and your immunity enhanced. However, in the cold days, too strenuous exercise can easily cause the loss of yang energy and damage the body. At this time, you can choose the Chinese Tongluo Exercise created under the guidance of the theory of the Chinese Tongluo Health Preservation Eight-Character Sutra to help us achieve the purpose of sports and health preservation.
The Chinese Tongluo exercise draws on and absorbs the achievements of China's traditional guidance and health preservation, and integrates traditional elements such as dance and martial arts to form eight health exercises with different focuses and effects. It advocates that through the activities of the limbs and joints, promote the operation of the meridians and qi and blood in the body, stimulate the righteousness in the body, and insist on practice, which can not only strengthen the body, but also cultivate and calm the mind, and truly achieve the effect of "combining movement and static, internal and external cultivation" pursued by winter sports. In addition, Tongluo exercise also has a certain alleviating and regulating effect on various diseases such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, gastrointestinal diseases, respiratory infectious diseases, frozen shoulder, cervical spondylosis, etc., which are common in winter.
Today is the second day of March 9, if we can seize this critical period to take care of our bodies, we will be more confident in the face of any weather in the future. Health is the foundation of everything, now take action to accumulate "capital" for our physical health!
