First, diet and health
Proverbs say: it snows when it is light snow. Food supplement is particularly important in winter aftercare. In winter, the diet should not be nursed back to health by eating too much salty food, so as not to make the kidney water that is already on the high side more high, which will weaken the strength of the heart yang. Therefore, the principle of winter diet is to reduce salt and increase bitterness, resist kidney water, nourish the heart, so as to ensure the intersection of mind and body 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 eating heat and dampness.
It is said that the temperature in winter is too low, so in order to keep a certain amount of calories, the human body must increase the decomposition of sugar, fat and protein in order 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 micturition increases, and 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 calcium, which helps to calm people's mood).
2. Drinks: 1 water chestnut soybean milk drink (5 twisted juice of water chestnut, boiled in 250g soybean milk, and added with appropriate amount of sugar); 2 banana soybean milk drink (banana 1 piece peeled, mashed and added with a proper amount of cooked soybean milk, you can drink it. 1~ 2 times a day. ）。
3, dishes: 1 celery fried mushrooms (400 grams of celery, 50 grams of water-soaked mushrooms, both 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 also contain folic acid, which can help us resist depression; Foods rich in B vitamins, such as coarse flour products, cereal grains, yeast, animal liver and fruits, are also beneficial to improve bad mood and depression; 5 bitter gourd, bitter and cold, can receive the effect of clearing away heat and eyesight, detoxifying and purging fire with meals; Lotus seed heart, sweet and cool, has the function of clearing away heat, clearing the head, eliminating annoyance and quenching thirst.
In addition, we should also eat more foods such as animal viscera, lean meat, fish and eggs, and also eat more foods 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 calories consumed due to the cold in winter, but also replenish qi, nourish blood and tonify deficiency, and are weak to the body.
Second, daily life and health
1, dressing: The weather turns cold, and colds also enter the frequent season. Experts suggest that you should add clothes in time to keep warm. Many people think that the tighter clothes are wrapped, the warmer they are, but they are not. Too tight and thick clothes will not only limit physical activity, but also affect blood circulation. Therefore, it is enough to feel warm in winter. Generally speaking, it is advisable for the elderly to wear light and warm clothes, but young people should not wear too thick clothes, and infants should keep warm because of their low temperature regulation 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. The room temperature is too high and the humidity is too low, which can also cause physical discomfort and easily occur. 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 to keep the indoor air moist. In addition, raising a few pots of flowers and plants in the room or buying a humidifier can also adjust the indoor humidity to make the room full of fresh air.
Third, emotional health
Modern medical research has found that seasonal changes are important for 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 everyone change passivity into initiative, adjust their own mentality, remain optimistic, control anger by saving joy, often participate in some outdoor activities, spend more time in the sun to maintain the stability of 5- hydroxytryptamine in the brain, and listen to more music to make that wonderful melody add fun to your life. At the same time, take part in more recreational activities to arouse enthusiasm and yearning for life. Wu Shang, a medical scientist in the Qing Dynasty, said: "The seven emotions, watching flowers to relieve boredom and listening to music to relieve anxiety, are better than those who take medicine."
Fourth,
It is necessary to exercise your muscles properly and sweat a little, so as to strengthen your body. To combine activity with activity, running and doing exercises should only be slightly like sweating, and sweating is discouraged, which is contrary to the way of hiding yang in winter. Walk for more than half an hour every day and exercise your feet. Insist on rubbing the soles of your feet in the morning and evening to.
However, winter should also be different according to individual physique and age. For example, some people should put an end to playing ball and climbing mountains.

Older people should pay more attention to keep warm and avoid getting up too early to prevent stroke. In addition, try to be gentle.

Key project-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 the operation, pay attention to cold protection after fumigation, and should not go out immediately.
