Tomorrow big cold, 3 things required
1. Avoid foot cold
As the old saying goes, cold starts on the soles of your feet, and illness comes from your heart. Many diseases are caused by cold in the body. Among the "six diseases" of traditional Chinese medicine theory, cold qi is ranked first, so there is a saying that "all diseases and cold come first". Around the time of the cold, most areas will experience the lowest temperature of the year, so remember to keep warm, first and foremost to avoid cold feet. You can keep your feet warm by adding clothes, wearing thick socks, and warm shoes.
Second, avoid blind supplementation
Many people know that winter is a good time to replenish, and eating more nutritious foods can help ward off the cold. However, the supplement should be moderate, and must not be blindly supplemented. You can eat some high-calorie meat in moderation, but don't forget to eat fresh vegetables and fruits, and control the amount of meat when eating, and eat less fatty meat with high fat content. Blind supplementation can easily cause fat accumulation and bring negative effects to the body.
Third, avoid going to bed late and getting up early
In the "four-time health theory" passed down by the ancestors, it is mentioned that spring birth, summer long, autumn harvest, winter storage, sleep rhythm should also be adjusted according to the characteristics of the season, among which it is advisable to go to bed early and get up late in winter. Going to bed early is easy to understand, that is, don't stay up late, stay up late and hurt your body. As for why not to "get up early", it is because the days and nights are long before and after the big cold, the day is too early and the sky is not yet bright, the sun has not yet come out, and frequent activities at this time can easily lead to cold invasion, so try not to go to bed late and get up early.
