In traditional folk customs, "Lidong" represents the beginning of winter. As the saying goes, "Three-nine supplements last winter, and there will be no pain in the coming year." Winter is a good time to take supplements. However, dietary maintenance should follow the ancient precepts of "nourishing yin in autumn and winter", "not disturbing yang", "replenishing the deficient and warming the cold", and adjust the diet according to the changes in the climate in the four seasons.
Diet and health care should vary from place to place and from person to person, because food can be divided into grains, meats, fruits and vegetables, people can be divided into men, women, old and young, and their constitutions can be divided into deficiency, excess, cold and heat. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, health maintenance at the beginning of winter should be "nurturing more in the young, re-tuning in the middle-aged, re-maintaining the old, and delaying the old age." Therefore, "winter supplements" should be selected according to the actual situation, including clearing, warming, small and large. Supplements must not be blindly "supplemented".
"If you don't hide your essence in winter, you will be sick and warm in spring." Cold is one of the six evil evils, so you should keep warm and avoid cold in winter, go to bed early and get up late, and extend your sleep time, which can nourish the yin meridians and promote the recovery of physical strength. It is best to wait until the sun comes out before getting up and doing activities. Preparatory activities should be carried out before exercise, the amount of exercise should be gradually increased, and avoid exercising in severe cold or heavy snow.
Prevent colds first. The fundamental measure to prevent and treat colds is to engage in regular physical activity to improve the body's resistance and ability to withstand the cold.
Prevent damage. In winter, the human body reflexively causes muscles and blood vessels to contract under the stimulation of cold, thus reducing the elasticity of muscles and ligaments and reducing the range of motion of joints.
Prevent frostbite. Frostbite is caused when a certain part of the body's tissues reflexively causes vasoconstriction under cold stimulation, leading to tissue ischemia, hypoxia, malnutrition, and damage to nerve and muscle tissue. Frostbite usually occurs on the hands, feet, ears, and tip of the nose.
