What fruit do you eat in the snowy season?
Hawthorn: a fruit suitable for heavy snow and solar terms.

The Compendium of Materia Medica by Li Shizhen, a great doctor in Ming Dynasty, points out that hawthorn has three functions: promoting digestion, removing blood stasis and treating tumor, with special emphasis on promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.
Tannic acid contained in raw hawthorn is easy to form gastrolith when combined with gastric acid, which is difficult to digest. If the gastrolith cannot be digested for a long time, it will cause gastric ulcer, gastric bleeding and even gastric perforation. Therefore, raw hawthorn should be eaten as little as possible, especially people with weak gastrointestinal function should be more cautious. The doctor suggested that hawthorn should be cooked before eating.

Matters needing attention in heavy snow and solar terms health care
1, pay attention to your diet
Heavy snow and solar terms, dry indoor climate and few fresh vegetables will all cause vitamin B deficiency and induce angular stomatitis. So drink more water and eat more fruits and vegetables in winter.
In this solar term, people can make up for it by eating habits. In diet, eat more warm foods such as garlic, leek, pepper, ginger, coriander, onion, yam, longan, chestnuts and preserved apricots to help keep out the cold. However, due to dry weather and improper diet, it is easy for people to get angry and suffer from aphtha, so we should pay attention to controlling the quantity. At the same time, pay attention to eat less meat, eat more vegetables and warm fruits and drink more porridge.
Because it is dry indoors and outdoors and the air humidity is very low, it is necessary to drink plenty of water and replenish water in time to ensure the normal metabolism of organs. Generally, the daily hydration amount should not be less than 2000 ~ 3000 ml * * * which is often called "8 glasses of water", and one cup is about 300 ml * *.
2. Pay attention to daily life and exercise.
During the solar term of heavy snow, we should pay attention to maintaining emotional stability and peace, living and working regularly, and exercising.
In winter, the days are short and the nights are long. Pay attention to going to bed early and getting up late. Don't stay up late. Don't get up early in the morning to exercise. "You must wait for the sun."
Step 3 pay attention to cold protection
During the solar term of heavy snow, we should pay attention to the invasion of wind evil and cold evil, especially the head and feet. This is because the occurrence of some diseases has a lot to do with not paying attention to keeping warm. Chinese medicine believes that the head, chest and feet of the human body are the most vulnerable parts to cold evil.
According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the head is the "meeting of all yang". When the ambient temperature is 65438 05℃, the heat lost from the head accounts for 30% of the whole body heat. If the temperature is 4℃, the total heat loss from the head accounts for 60%. Cold weather will make blood vessels contract, and people will have headaches and dizziness. For people with cerebrovascular diseases, cold can easily induce cerebrovascular diseases. It can be seen that it is very important to keep your head warm.
In winter, wind and cold attack the human body, and the chest and abdomen bear the brunt. After catching cold in the chest and abdomen, it is easy to break the yang in the body, which will lead to a heart attack. In addition, cold can also induce gastrointestinal diseases, so the warmth of the chest and abdomen can not be ignored.
As the saying goes, "cold starts from the feet", the blood supply to the feet farthest from the heart is slow and less, and the subcutaneous fat layer is thin, which has poor warmth retention. Once it is cold, it will reflexively cause the capillary contraction of respiratory mucosa, which will reduce the disease resistance and lead to upper respiratory tract infection. Therefore, we should pay attention to the warmth of our feet during the heavy snow and solar terms.
In the cold and snowy solar terms, we must first increase or decrease clothes according to climate change; Wearing a hat, a scarf and a pair of warm shoes is the best choice for cold protection. Secondly, patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, arthritis and digestive system diseases should pay more attention to cold and warmth, and wear less coats when going out. If you feel unwell, you should take the initiative to go to the hospital for examination.
After the solar term of heavy snow, some women feel cold easily because of the cold weather. Modern medical research believes that women are particularly afraid of cold in winter because of poor resistance and cold resistance caused by menstrual pregnancy and puerperium or anemia, gastrointestinal diseases and chronic diseases. On the other hand, if women have low blood pressure or hypothyroidism due to nutritional deficiency, it will also cause regional or systemic poor blood circulation, especially the blood circulation disorder of peripheral blood vessels in limbs, which will lead to cold hands and feet.
4. Pay attention to emotional peace
In addition, pay attention to emotional peace. Many diseases are caused by emotions. For example, due to emotional instability and irregular daily life, glaucoma, a blinding eye disease, often occurs in cold winter. Its symptoms are: eye pain, eye swelling, decreased vision, accompanied by headache, nausea and other symptoms. Therefore, we must maintain emotional stability at ordinary times and avoid mental tension and excessive excitement; Pay attention to the law of daily life, don't stay in the dark for a long time, to prevent the pupil from expanding and causing the intraocular pressure to rise; When the weather is fine, take part in outdoor activities moderately, because this can increase the oxygen supply of fundus blood vessels, reduce the accumulation of carbon dioxide in the blood and avoid the increase of intraocular pressure; In bad weather with cold climate, it is necessary to minimize going out to reduce the impact on the eyes.
