1, avoid eating hot and dry food.
It is very cold in winter, and people like to eat warm food to resist the cold. For example, China loves mutton in the north and soft-shelled turtle in the south in winter, both of which belong to warm food. However, not all hot foods are suitable for eating in the light snow season. Eating too much hot and dry food is easy to get angry and even cause fever.
2, avoid fat and sweetness
In winter, the digestive function of human body is more active than in spring, summer and autumn, and the secretion of gastric juice, acidity and food intake increase, which reflects the increase of human body's demand for heat energy in winter. When the body is in a cold environment, in order to maintain body temperature balance, it is necessary to increase the metabolic rate in the body, that is, to increase the demand for food, especially to increase the intake of fatty food. Eating fat has a good cold and antifreeze effect, but it should not be too much to prevent hypertension and hyperlipidemia.
Old people should not eat too much thick food, but they can increase the proportion of high-quality protein, such as eggs, tofu or various seafood, which are not only easy to digest, but also rich in essential amino acids, with high nutritional value and enhanced resistance.
First, diet and health.
As the proverb goes, it snows when it snows lightly. In winter, food supplement is particularly important. Winter diet should not eat too much salty food for recuperation, so as not to make the already high kidney water higher and weaken the power of heart yang. Therefore, the principle of winter diet is to reduce salt and increase bitterness, resist kidney water and nourish the heart to ensure the intersection of body and mind and maintain the balance of yin and yang in the human body. Generally speaking, bitter food has the effect of clearing away heat and reducing dryness, and is suitable for people in damp heat constitution.
Chinese medicine experts say that the temperature is too low in winter. In order to maintain a certain amount of calories, the human body must increase the decomposition of sugar, fat and protein, so as to generate more energy to meet the needs of the body, so it is necessary to eat more foods rich in sugar, fat, protein and vitamins. At the same time, the cold weather also affects the human urinary system, and urination increases. There are more inorganic salts such as sodium, potassium and calcium discharged with urine, so you should eat more foods containing inorganic salts such as potassium, sodium and calcium.
Among many foods, the most suitable diet for this season is:
1, Fruit: Banana (Banana helps to increase the content of 5- hydroxytryptamine in human brain, while bean products contain phytoestrogen and trace element calcium, which helps to calm people's mood).
2. Beverage: ① Water chestnut soybean milk beverage (water chestnut 5 twisted juice, boiled in 250g soybean milk, with appropriate amount of sugar); ② Banana soybean milk drink (1 banana peeled, mashed, and added with a proper amount of cooked soybean milk, you can drink it. 1 ~ twice a day. )。
3, dishes: ① celery fried mushrooms (400 grams of celery, 50 grams of water-borne mushrooms, all fried with seasoning); 2 Spinach, the study found that people with insufficient folic acid intake are prone to insomnia, forgetfulness, anxiety and other depressive symptoms. Spinach is rich in folic acid, so the intake of spinach should be increased appropriately in winter; In addition, asparagus, kiwi fruit, oysters, oranges, peas, soybeans and dark green vegetables also contain folic acid, which can help us resist depression; 4 foods rich in B vitamins, such as coarse flour products, whole grains, yeast, animal liver, fruits, etc., are also of great benefit to improving bad mood and depression; ⑤ Bitter gourd, bitter and cold in taste, can receive the effects of clearing away heat and improving eyesight, detoxifying and purging fire with meals; Lotus plumule, sweet and cool, has the functions of clearing away heat, clearing brain, removing annoyance and quenching thirst.
In addition, we should eat more vegetables, appropriately increase food such as animal viscera, lean meat, fish and eggs, and also eat more food such as chicken, turtle, mutton, longan and fungus. These foods are not only delicious, but also rich in protein, fat, carbohydrates, calcium, phosphorus, iron and other nutrients, which can not only supplement the heat consumed by cold in winter, but also benefit qi and nourish blood, which is harmful to the body.
Second, daily life and health.
1, Dressing: The weather turns cold, and colds also enter the frequent season. Experts suggest that clothes should be added to keep warm in time. Many people think that the tighter clothes are wrapped, the warmer they are, but they are not. Too tight and too thick clothes will not only limit physical activity, but also affect blood circulation. Therefore, it is enough to feel warm in winter. Generally speaking, the elderly should wear light and warm clothes, but young people should not wear too thick clothes. Infants and young children should pay attention to keep warm because of their low thermoregulation ability, but avoid covering them too thick and sweating.
2. Environment: In winter, people are often most concerned about the indoor temperature, but ignore the indoor ventilation and humidity. If the room temperature is too high and the humidity is too low, it will also cause physical discomfort and easily lead to diseases. In winter, in addition to sprinkling some water on the ground every day, or mopping the floor with a wet mop to increase humidity, you can also put a basin of water near the cooling facilities to let the water evaporate slowly and keep the indoor air moist. In addition, keeping a few pots of flowers and plants in the room or buying a humidifier can also adjust the indoor humidity and make the room full of fresh air.
Third, emotional health Modern medical research has found that seasonal changes have a direct impact on patients with depression, because among the neurotransmitters related to depression, the 5- hydroxytryptamine system in the brain is closely related to seasonal changes. In order to avoid the unfavorable factors brought to friends with depression in winter, it is suggested that we change passivity into initiative, adjust our mentality, remain optimistic, control anger by saving happiness, often participate in some outdoor activities to strengthen our physique, spend more time in the sun to maintain the stability of 5- hydroxytryptamine in our brains, and listen to music more, so that the wonderful melody can add fun to your life. At the same time, take part in more recreational activities to stimulate enthusiasm and yearning for life. Wu Shang, a medical scientist in the Qing Dynasty, said, "It is better to take medicine than to watch flowers to relieve boredom and listen to songs to relieve worries."
Fourth, exercise.
Exercise muscles properly, sweat and keep fit in winter. Exercise should be combined with exercise, and it is good to run and do exercises as long as you sweat slightly, which is contrary to the way of hiding the sun in winter. Walk for more than half an hour every day to exercise your feet. Stick to rubbing the soles of your feet in the morning and evening to promote blood circulation.
But winter exercise should also be different according to individual physique and age. For example, patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases should put an end to strenuous exercise such as playing ball and climbing mountains; People with respiratory diseases, such as chronic bronchitis, emphysema, pulmonary heart disease, etc. Sunny mornings and afternoons should be chosen to avoid cold stimulation and acute diseases. The elderly should pay more attention to keep warm and avoid getting up early to exercise, so as to prevent stroke caused by insufficient blood supply to the brain. In addition, try to give priority to moderate aerobic exercise.
As the snow cools down, pay attention to the following details in the process of conditioning: 1. Because the human body in nature involves the kidney in winter, the kidney is the main bone to produce marrow, which is easy to cause bone and joint diseases and cause pain. The key project of conditioning-fumigation to prevent and treat joint diseases. 2, do fumigation project must wear more clothes, drink more than three cups of fruit drinks specially prepared in the store during operation, pay attention to cold protection after fumigation, and should not go out immediately.
