The Chinese New Year is coming. How can we satisfy our appetite without hurting our health?

In principle, it is to "collect" the essence.

Strengthening yang and regulating kidney.

It's winter and December,

The yin and yang of heaven and earth have changed,

The method of health preservation should also be adjusted accordingly.

In addition, this year Spring Festival travel rush is also a season and winter period.

More importantly, pay attention to diet and health.

The first priority of winter health care: keep warm when frozen.

Gao Lian, an Amin scholar, said in Eight Ways to Respect Life and Cultivate Self-cultivation in December: "In winter, the world is closed and everything is hidden. It's warm when it's frozen. Don't let your skin sweat to help your stomach. Don't be very warm, don't snow heavily. It is wise to make a small announcement, not a big one. All yang is resting, not committing wind and evil, not hurting muscles and bones. When the hexagrams are close, they are big, and the hexagrams are regular, which is beneficial to tycoons and chastity. Qi Hai, sitting and lying should be to the northwest. "

The focus of winter health care is "collection". After the slight cold, it will enter the season change and winter, and we should pay more attention to the problem of "hiding".

The northern region, within the two solar terms of slight cold and severe cold, is the "March 949" cold weather. The human body is in the cold and is stimulated by the cold. The body needs a lot of energy to maintain normal work. It can only maintain body temperature by increasing heat and reducing heat dissipation. Therefore, "freezing and warming" is the primary task. The northern region, within the two solar terms of slight cold and severe cold, is the "March 949" cold weather.

The human body is in the cold and is stimulated by the cold. The body needs a lot of energy to maintain normal work. It can only maintain body temperature by increasing heat and reducing heat dissipation. Therefore, "freezing and warming" is the primary task.

Now is the heating age, and indoor "freezing and warming" is generally not a problem. When outdoors, you should pay attention to "don't snow heavily" and "don't make the wind evil", and pay special attention to the parts that are easy to catch cold, such as head, neck and feet.

Sunbathing to eliminate depression

In addition, you should always bask in the sun. Xie Wuyi, a poet in the Song Dynasty, said, "The window of honeysuckle is low, so sit and watch the sunrise. The morning sun shines slowly, and the blood is a little unobstructed. Like drunken spring wine. "

The warm sunshine in winter shines on the body, which is naturally very pleasant. "Sunbathing" can make people feel comfortable mentally, because the cold makes the metabolism and physiological functions of the human body in a state of inhibition and reduction, the blood circulation slows down, the blood supply to the brain is insufficient, and the human body is prone to depression. And plenty of sunshine can make people's blood flow smoothly, make the brain supply enough blood, and make people get rid of tension, anxiety and depression quickly, just like drinking spring brew, the four bodies are integrated and refreshed.

In the twelfth lunar month this year, it snowed heavily in the north, but it was "warm in winter and cool in summer" in the south. Although it is not too cold in the south this winter, there is no problem of "being warm when frozen", we should pay attention to "not being very warm" to prevent sweating and losing yang.

As the saying goes, "three nine make up one winter", "winter makes up, spring kills the tiger". In the twelfth lunar month, many people are busy making supplements. Tonifying in the twelfth lunar month is necessary, but it is also for "raising Tibet", but we should pay attention to the sense of proportion. "It should be small and publicized, not large and supplemented." Because the Qi of Yin and Yang in the twelfth lunar month corresponds to the divination in the Book of Changes, and the divination is mainly based on two Yang and four Yin, and the Yang is positive, but it is still restrained by Yin. So you can't be too hasty in raising yang, you should raise yang lightly and avoid greasy tonic.

The twelfth lunar month diet reduces sweetness and increases bitterness.

In daily life, "Eight Chapters of Respect for Life" puts forward that "anger is in the sea, and it is advisable to sit and lie in the northwest." What does this mean? The ancients thought that the earth's atmosphere was "angry" and "dead", and we should know how to "use life to avoid death" in health preservation. In December, anger is in the sea, that is, the northwest, so there is a saying that "sitting and lying should be to the northwest".

Another feature of the twelfth lunar month is that Chinese medicine believes that this month is a "prosperous month". Sun Simiao said, "Yuewang, the humidity is bad. It is advisable to reduce sweetness and increase bitterness, nourish the heart and help the lungs, and regulate the kidneys. Don't take frost and snow, don't sweat. "

Winter was originally the season of water, but by1February, "rustic" became more and more abundant, and because soil replaced water, "moisture" was suppressed. "Water vapor" corresponds to kidney qi of human body, and body fluid and sweat are all "water vapor". When the kidney qi is weak, we should pay more attention to protecting the "moisture" in the body, so Sun Simiao emphasized the word "no leakage".

According to the "five colors and five flavors" regimen in Huangdi Neijing, among the five flavors, sweetness belongs to the spleen, salty belongs to the water, bitter belongs to the heart, sour belongs to the wood and pungent belongs to the lung. Therefore, sweets should be reduced in the diet of 12 months, so as not to hurt the kidney.

Gradually Bitter is Sun Simiao's dialectical exposition on health preservation in December. Although winter health care is centered on "kidney" and December is full of soil, it is still necessary to "reduce sweetness". But1February is still winter, and winter is the season of "water vapor". Even if it is weak, it is stronger than "internal heat", "golden gas" and "wood gas". Especially "internal heat" is the weakest time of the year. The so-called water can put out the fire, which is the truth. Therefore, in winter, in addition to protecting the kidneys, we must also replenish the heart. The method of nourishing the heart is to "increase the bitterness", that is, eat more hard food.

Big fish and big meat during the Spring Festival, practice "sitting" to nourish the spleen and stomach

The human body is a unified whole, and the qi of the five internal organs has both mutual resistance and mutual generation. Besides "spleen soil can make kidney water" and "kidney water can make heart fire", there are also "lung gold can make kidney water" and "spleen soil can make lung gold".

In the twelfth lunar month, Sun Simiao put forward "nourishing the heart, helping the lung and regulating the kidney", and the Eight Notes on Zunsheng emphasized "helping the stomach qi", taking regulating the kidney as the center, taking into account the heart fire, lung gold and spleen soil at the same time, so that the qi of the five internal organs can reach a balanced state of mutual interaction and mutual resistance.

The upcoming Spring Festival is also in the winter season. During the Spring Festival, every household is a feast, which invisibly increases the burden on the spleen and stomach and damages its function.

As mentioned above, in1February, the "rustic qi" is in full bloom, and the kidney qi is weakened. The result of overeating is food accumulation and spleen stagnation, which is easy to cause spleen deficiency. Excessive spleen and kidney water will lead to abnormal renal function.

But it is often inevitable to eat more during the Spring Festival. In this case, how can we satisfy our appetite without harming our health? Here, I would like to borrow the "Ji Dong Er Qi Dao" written by Chen Tuan, a famous artist of five generations, to provide you with a reference.

Look up at the raised hand. Then the left and right hands and feet are exchanged, and the movements are the same, each 15 times. Finally, I knocked on my teeth 36 times and swallowed body fluid.
