Bathing: Bathing time should not be too long.

When taking a bath, you can add a small amount of vinegar to the water, which can reduce the harm of alkaline substances to the skin.

Love: Keep quiet and optimistic.

In winter, human metabolism is in a relatively slow period. Therefore, keeping in good health in winter should be based on "hiding", which means that people should keep quiet in winter. Experts suggest that when things go wrong, we should learn to control bad emotions. We can vent our negative emotions in an appropriate way to keep our mind at peace. At the same time, we should get more sunshine.

Beginning of winter should be calm, open-minded and optimistic, use his brain rationally and keep a good attitude. To protect the yang, you can't consume the yin essence excessively.
