Why is it easy to get angry in winter
First, in terms of diet, people like to eat beef and mutton to keep out the cold in winter, such as hot pot, barbecue, instant-boiled mutton and so on, which are very popular winter foods. However, the beef and mutton itself is warm, plus spicy ingredients such as onion, ginger, garlic and pepper, and tonics such as cinnamon, ginger, medlar and angelica, which can be described as "dryness plus dryness". After people eat it, it is easy to accumulate heat in the body, which is not easy to emit, and it is easy to cause "getting angry".
Second, irregular working hours, insufficient rest at night and overwork are also important reasons for getting angry. With the increasing pressure at the end of the year, many people will inevitably be irritable, anxious and easily get angry. "Fire" becomes "poisonous gas" if it can't be dispersed, which makes the body's immunity decline.
Third, in the northern region, the climate itself is very dry, coupled with the widespread use of indoor heating, hot indoor environment, will make people's tracheal mucosa purification worse, directly lead to dry nose, throat, etc., and affect the balance and stability of human metabolism. If you don't pay attention to diet adjustment and water supplement, it will be easy to imbalance between Yin and Yang, leading to "getting angry".
