The great cold is the last solar term in a year, and the great cold solar term is generally colder than the slight cold solar term. As the folk proverb goes, "The cold reaches the top, and the weather will get warmer in the future". Slight cold, severe cold, the sun be the spirit of heaven and earth is hidden, and the human body also reacts. Winter is the best time for the human body to recharge its batteries. People should not only pay attention to health preservation in daily life, but also pay attention to the tonic of diet and drugs. There is a folk proverb that "three nine make up one winter, and there will be no illness in the coming year;" This year's winter season will make up, and next year's tiger can be played. " After the severe cold, the cathode is yang, and the human body's yang is vigorous, so it is easy to absorb foreign nutrition and play a nourishing role.

Let's talk about the four major dietary customs of the great cold and solar terms in winter according to four different regions in the southeast and northwest of China:

1, it is freezing in the north, and the temperature difference between day and night is large.

The temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is also particularly severe. With a little carelessness, the spleen and stomach are particularly vulnerable to cold, leading to insufficient yang and abnormal spleen function. Poor transport in the body' blocks the meridians, causing them to be blocked.

There is a constitution of yang deficiency in the north. It is best to choose warm products such as mutton, dog meat and venison for winter tonic. Adding radish and cabbage in cooking can neutralize the effect of warming tonic and make it tonic without dryness. Recommended: radish mutton soup, millet porridge.

2, the south is humid, warming and eliminating dampness

In the southern region, even in winter, the temperature is not too low, and the temperature difference is not big. Suitable for tonic, heavy moisture, but also eat some dampness-promoting food, moist and nourishing medicinal diet for conditioning.

It is more appropriate to eat pork, duck and chicken in the south. Winter bamboo shoots, bamboo shoots and lotus roots are the foods for eliminating dampness, and medlar and chestnut porridge can be selected for tonifying kidney. In the south, rice is the main food, with some damp coarse grains and yuba. Recommended: old duck soup and rice barley porridge.

3, the west is dry and nourishing yin.

The dry climate in northwest China is harmful to human body, so it is necessary to nourish yin. Northwest families should be equipped with humidifiers to keep the humidity in their homes balanced. Drink more warm water, eat more fruits and apply moisturizing lotion in winter.

It is a good choice to eat more lung-moistening foods such as lily, lotus root, almond, ginkgo, tremella and fungus in the northwest. Winter tonic should put more ginger according to the habit. Pepper seasoning Recommended: winter melon mutton soup, sorghum millet porridge, bamboo shoot sparerib soup.

4. The wet and cold in the east should be warm and sunny.

In the east, especially in the coastal areas, the sea breeze is mixed with moisture, which hurts the spleen and stomach most when it enters the human body. It is necessary to use fragrant and humidified food and medicinal materials to dissolve the moisture in the body.

The East should cook some porridge for spleen and stomach, such as radish, yam, walnut and poria cocos. Seafood is generally cold food, so eat less in winter. Cooking with pepper and pepper isothermal seasoning on the dining table, eating crabs dipped in vinegar and ginger juice should warm the stomach. Recommended, chicken soup rice porridge, duck asparagus porridge.

The above is what should I eat in the cold season? According to the four dietary customs formed in the southeast and northwest of China, tonifying the kidney in severe cold should pay attention to the local climate and cooperate with diet, which can not only enhance the human body's ability to resist cold, but also improve the human body's immunity and disease resistance. It is necessary to conform to the laws of all things in nature and the movement of human yang, and protect the kidneys, so that we can live a healthy and happy life.
