Before and after the light snow, Tujia people started the annual folk activity of "Killing the Year Pig and Welcoming the New Year", which added a warm atmosphere to the cold winter. Eating "planing soup" is a custom of Tujia nationality. The delicious food cooked with the best fresh pork with hot air is called "planing soup", which is very suitable for health preservation in winter.

Light snow solar terms are a sign of the beginning of winter, and at the same time it has entered a season of frequent depression. Always eat spinach, kiwi fruit, oysters, oranges, soybeans and dark green vegetables, because these foods contain folic acid, which can help resist depression.

Foods rich in B vitamins, such as whole wheat bread, coarse flour products, grains, yeast, animal liver and fruits, are also beneficial to improving bad mood and depression. Eating complex carbohydrates and soda biscuits improves mood, although the effect is slower, but it is more in line with health principles and helps to keep out the cold; Bananas contain substances that can help the human brain to produce 5- hydroxytryptamine, which is similar to a chemical "messenger" and can send signals to the nerve endings of the brain, making people feel peaceful and happy.

As the saying goes, "If you want to be at ease, you should be diligent." Therefore, you should prepare more winter clothes and increase or decrease them as appropriate. In the dry season, indoor humidity should be maintained, and humidifiers can be used when necessary. For the elderly, soft and smooth cotton or silk underwear and underwear should be selected, and chemical fiber clothing should be avoided as far as possible to minimize the harm of static electricity.

3. Drink plenty of water to prevent internal heat

The light snow festival should strengthen your physique, improve your immunity and cold resistance. First of all, we should ensure adequate sleep. You should go to bed early and get up late in winter, and it is best not to rest later than 22 o'clock. If you don't rest after 1 o'clock, people's immunity is easy to decline, and the temperature drops obviously after the light snow solar terms, and it is easier to get sick if you rest too late.

Soak your feet with hot water every night.

This is because the lack of time for outdoor activities, the lack of fresh air and sunlight will slow down the blood circulation of the body, reduce the body's disease-resistant immunity, and be uncomfortable with the outdoor environment, so it is easy to catch a cold. To prevent colds, we should go to nature, take active exercise and strengthen our physique.

"Three weathers are blocked into winter", the weather is getting colder every day, rivers begin to freeze, and families close their doors to prevent cold air from entering the room-winter is coming. What traditional food does Xiaoxue eat 2
