The core principles of winter health preservation: follow nature and stick to Yang Qi
After the beginning of winter, the cold outside gradually increases, and the human body also needs to adapt to the transformation of yin and yang in heaven and earth. At this time, the key is to reduce the consumption of yang energy and promote its deep storage and accumulation.
Adjust your daily routine and mood
Go to bed early and get up late to nourish Yang: In winter, the days are short and the nights are long, so you should adjust your daily routine to adapt to the natural rhythm.
Exercise moderately to avoid dissipation: In winter, it is better to be quiet than to move. Vigorous exercise can easily cause Yang to leak out. You should choose gentle activities, such as kidney exercises, soothing Qigong, patting or massaging the abdomen, and slightly sweating is appropriate. At the same time, avoid frequent activities that cause excessive sweating, such as frequent bathing, cupping, scraping, sauna or sweat steaming, etc.Keep your emotions calm and guard your Yang Qi: Drastic emotional fluctuations can disturb the Yang Qi in your body and cause it to dissipate. Keep your mind calm and your heart peaceful, and avoid excessive excitement, agitation, or persistent sadness, anxiety, and other emotional ups and downs.
Dietary conditioning
Mainly warm and nourish, nourish Yang Qi: In winter, the human body needs more calories to resist the cold, and the diet should be mainly warm and nourishing. Eat a moderate amount of warm and nourishing food, and avoid eating too much raw and cold food to avoid damaging Yang Qi.
Physical protection
Keep warm first to resist external cold: In winter, the external cold becomes more severe, and the human body needs to consume Yang energy to resist. Wearing warm clothes can effectively reduce the consumption of Yang energy, thereby protecting the Yang energy in the body.
Soak your feet in warm water to dispel the cold and protect the Yang: Soaking your feet in warm water can help dispel the cold and protect the Yang.
Frequent sunbathing to consolidate the Yang: Sunbathing more can use the natural Yang to dispel the cold in the body, dredge the meridians, and help accumulate the Yang in the body.
Focus on protection and care for the internal organs: The abdomen, knees and feet of the body need special protection. The abdomen is the place where the spleen and stomach are located; the knee joints have relatively less blood supply and are sensitive to cold; the feet are farthest from the heart and have poor warmth retention. Once these parts are exposed to cold, they can directly affect the health of the internal organs.
Following the above principles will help you better protect and nourish your Yang energy during the winter.
