Today is the winter solstice. What should we pay attention to?
First, eat jiaozi to keep warm and replenish blood on the solstice in winter.
As the saying goes, "When you drink jiaozi soup on the solstice in winter, you are not afraid of frostbite". Xia, deputy director of the Department of Preventive Medicine of Nanjing Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, introduced that jiaozi was originally a dietotherapy prescription for preventing and treating chilblain, and it was a delicious food invented by Zhang Zhongjing, a famous doctor in the Han Dynasty with the reputation of "medical sage", to treat human ear frostbite. The meat stuffing is mainly mixed with medicinal materials for dispelling cold and promoting blood circulation, wrapped in dough into the shape of ears, and cooked in hot soup for people with frostbite.
Second, rub your ears in winter to strengthen your kidney and promote blood circulation.
Besides eating jiaozi tonic, you can also rub your ears and press acupoints on the solstice in winter. Yang Ming, director of the Department of Otolaryngology, Nanjing Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, said that ears are not only used for listening, but also have many health functions. Chinese medicine believes that "the kidney begins to see the ears", and readers with poor blood circulation or kidney-yang deficiency are more likely to get frostbite from winter to the future. Massage your ears often at this time, which is helpful to the health care of the kidneys and the smooth flow of qi and blood. The three most commonly used massage methods are pulling the earlobe, lifting the tip of the ear and rubbing the helix.
Pull the earlobe: massage the earlobe with both thumbs and forefinger. Rub the earlobe first, then pull it down 15 ~ 20 times, and it will burn to a certain extent.
Lift the tip of the ear: hold the helix at the upper part of both ears with both hands and lift the tip of the ear appropriately. When lifting, massage the tip of the ear with your thumb and forefinger, with slight heat as the degree.
Rubbing the helix: the thumb is located inside the helix, and the other four fingers are located outside the helix. Knead for 2 ~ 5 minutes, then pull it up until your ears feel hot.
There are some things you can't do besides what you have to do in the winter solstice, so you must avoid them.
When you avoid overeating, the sun is the weakest in winter solstice, and your body can't transport too much food, so you can avoid gastrointestinal disasters by avoiding overeating.
Second, the solstice of winter is the time when the human body's resistance is the worst, and the yang generated by the human body is like a weak small flame. If you catch a cold at this time, it will often last for a long time. It is particularly important to protect yourself carefully and avoid cold air, cold water and cold food.
Three hiding and staying up late, staying up late hurts the sun. There is a saying in Huangdi Neijing that "overwork leads to yang deficiency", which means overwork leads to yang deficiency. In the winter, this Yang was just born, just like a newborn baby. Babies must eat more and sleep more to develop normally. If they don't eat enough and sleep enough, they will get sick and can't develop well.
Avoid sweating, be careful not to exercise excessively, and keep quiet around the winter solstice. In this way, Yin can prosper and live better.
Five hide from right and wrong, winter solstice is cold, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are high. So manage your emotions in advance to avoid sudden illness caused by emotional excitement.
I hope to adopt my answer.
