Is there anything particular about the heavy snow solar terms?

The supplement of solar terms in heavy snow should conform to nature, pay attention to nourishing yang, and give priority to nourishing.

There are two main tonic methods: one is food tonic and the other is medicine tonic. But as the saying goes, "medicine is better than food." Therefore, food supplement is the main method of winter tonic. Due to the cold winter, in order to preserve a certain amount of heat, the human body must increase the decomposition of carbohydrates, fats and protein, so as to generate more energy to meet the needs of the body.

Therefore, we should eat more foods rich in protein, sugar, fat and vitamins in winter to supplement the energy consumed in cold weather. It is also advisable to eat mutton, dog meat, chicken, shrimp, longan, jujube and other foods often. These foods are rich in protein and fat, and produce a lot of calories, especially for those who are deficient in constitution and yang.

Some people who are weak can also take tonics, and at the same time tonify the kidney and prolong life. Suitable Chinese medicines include Placenta Hominis, Gecko, Eucommia ulmoides, Ginseng, Astragalus, Colla Corii Asini, Cordyceps, Lycium barbarum, etc. It can be made into medicated diet with meat, or it can be soaked into medicinal liquor, which can nourish kidney yang, warm blood vessels and promote blood circulation in cold and snowy seasons.
