After the small cold, take care of it properly, and you will not be cold for a year! Put away this health guide, follow it, and live 10 years!







"The Seventy-two Candidate Explanations of the Lunar Order" said: "On the December Festival, the cold at the beginning of the month is still small, so the clouds, and the moon and a half are big." The characteristic of Xiaohan is that the weather is getting colder, and it has not yet been cold, but in the middle of winter, "Sanjiu" is basically in this solar term, so there is a saying that "Xiaohan is better than Dahan".

Xiao Han waits for three times

In ancient China, Xiaohan was divided into three phases:

A wait for Yanbei Township

On the day of Xiaohan, "Yanbei Township", this "Township" is the trend, and Beifei Geese have perceived Yang Qi and are the forerunners.

The second magpie first nests

Five days after the small cold, the "magpie first nest", the magpie noise branch, has begun to build a nest, ready to breed offspring.


Three pheasants start to grow

Another five days "pheasant". The pheasant is a pheasant, a yang bird, and a gòu, courtship sounds, at this time, the pheasant dove that wakes up early begins to court, and early spring is approaching.

Xiaohan health care to do a good job of "three prevention"

Protect your body from the cold


1. Waist

Once the waist is cold, it is easy to hurt the kidneys, making people especially cold and weak, affecting appetite. Men will have a sore back and even premature ejaculation, and for women, it will also affect the normal menstruation.


2. Back

The back is highly susceptible to cold, and the loss of heat will lead to a decline in immune function, which can give opportunities for various diseases.


3. Abdomen

Many important organs of the human body are in the abdomen, and the cold in the stomach can easily cause the meridian qi and blood to be blocked, so that many organs are "cold" and unhappy.


Prevent cold stomach


The weather is cold during the Xiaohan solar term, and if you are not careful, you may have stomach pain, abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea and other symptoms, so in the Xiaohan solar term, in addition to keeping the stomach warm, you should also eat more soft food, and pay attention to chewing slowly when eating. Try not to eat raw or cold, barbecued, spicy food. At the same time, you can take some warm foods in the three or nine days, such as red dates and brown sugar ginger tea.


Protect your feet from the cold


Many people have cold hands and feet in winter, which even affects sleep. Cold feet can cause capillary constriction of the upper respiratory tract of the human body, cilia activity is slow, and the body's resistance is reduced, which is easy to induce colds, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, tracheitis, etc. Therefore, in the cold season, you must pay attention to keeping your feet warm, soak your feet in hot water before going to bed, and then rub your feet vigorously.

Xiaohan health has "2 suitables"

Hydrate

"The small cold is a big cold, and the cold becomes an ice mass", and after the small cold, it enters the coldest "39 days".

It is necessary to defend against the invasion of the human body by cold climate, especially the shoulders, neck, and feet, and take care of them.

Xiaohan also needs to prevent dryness, drink more warm water, nourishing soup, milk, yogurt, and all kinds of porridge to "lock" the water.

Stay happy

In winter, due to the use of stoves, heating, and a dry climate, people are prone to "getting hot" and their emotions are also prone to changes.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that anger leads to qi and disturbs yang qi, so it is especially necessary to pay attention to emotional regulation in winter.


Xiaohan diet regimen

From the perspective of diet and health, special attention should be paid to eating more warm food in the daily diet to nourish the body and defend against the invasion of cold climate on the human body.

Although the cold season is the best period for "tonic", tonic is not just enough to eat a lot of tonics, and it must be targeted. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, nourishment is divided into four categories, namely qi, blood, yin, and yang.

Xiaohan health exercise

As the saying goes, "move in winter, less of a sickness", proper physical exercise in the sun can strengthen the body and enhance the ability to withstand the cold.

jump rope

You can step on the spot before and after the jump rope to stretch the muscles of the whole body, which can help to warm up before the jump and cool down after the jump. You can jump 2-3 times a day for 10-15 minutes each time.

jogging

Jogging outdoors still has many benefits for the body, helping to strengthen the body's immune system, which in turn reduces the risk of catching a cold. The most important thing for winter running is to keep warm.

walk

Take precautions against the cold, and the best effect is when you sweat slightly, which is not only good for your health, but also allows you to relax slowly during a walk.

Kick the shuttlecock

It can effectively train the coordination, flexibility and flexibility of the body, protect the cardiopulmonary function, promote the acceleration of gastrointestinal peristalsis, and delay brain aging.

Three ways to promote blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis:

Eight sections of Nishiki

Long-term practice of Baduanjin can stimulate the liver meridian system, make the liver blood sufficient, invigorate blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis, especially suitable for long-term meditation and qi and blood stasis.
 
Rub the ribs

This action can relieve the liver and regulate qi, dispel bad emotions, and help the whole body to circulate qi and blood smoothly, especially suitable for people with high stress and poor mood. Rubbing in the morning and before going to bed for three minutes can also improve breast hyperplasia.

Rub both hands together warmly, then rub the ribs on both sides. Try to start from the armpits and rub to the sides of the lower abdomen. Rub your hands warmly, move slowly and without hurrying, and don't push too hard. It will feel warm and comfortable after rubbing.
 
Gripping the veins

The belt vein and the navel are level, like a belt wrapped around the waist, it is one of the eight veins of the odd meridian, and it is the only horizontal meridian of the human body. Grabbing the pulse every day can not only dredge the qi and blood in the waist and abdomen, but also help to discharge stool, detoxify, lose weight, and adjust vaginal discharge.
 
Pinch the flesh on both sides of your waist, pull it away forcefully, and then let go. Repeat 200 times. If you can't do that much at first, you can start with 50 reps and work your way up.
 
Although the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing" records that the autumn and winter health care focuses on nourishing yin, it cannot be generalized, and it should be determined according to its own quality, and it is the most important thing to let the body achieve a state of neutralization of yin and yang. In addition, the second half of this year is the Shaoyin Junhuo, it is a dry winter, and Xiaohan is the stage of yang growth, which is weak and immature, so we should pay attention to sticking to yang.


Xiao Han strengthens the body 4 rubs

Yang energy is latent in the cold season, and massaging the body in your free time can promote blood circulation, achieving the dual effects of driving away cold and conditioning the body.


Rub the feet and hearts - warm the feet and nourish the kidneys

Small cold cold protection 4 warm

Winter health first advocates "hiding" yang energy, preventing cold, cold evil into the body, easy to get sick! Be sure to protect 4 places for cold protection!

Keep your head and neck warm – a hat around your neck

The head is the location of the nerve center, and traditional Chinese medicine says that "the head is the meeting of the sun"; The neck has less fat, and it is the location of the strong artery, which emits more heat energy. The head and neck are attacked by wind and cold, which can easily induce colds, headaches, and even cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Tip: Turtlenecks, scarves, hats, etc. can protect your head and neck, and even wearing a thin hat outdoors in winter can help protect you from the cold.

Keep your back warm – bask in the sun

The back is the place where the human body follows the pulse, which is known as the "sea of yang veins", which has the effect of regulating yang meridian qi and blood.

Suggestion: The best way to keep your back warm is to bask in the sun, with your back to the sun, which can strengthen the yang energy of the human body and harmonize the qi of the whole body.

Warm abdomen – try massage

The abdomen is the hub that connects the upper and lower parts of the body, and many important acupuncture points on the human body are here, such as Shenque, Qihai, Guan Yuan, etc.


Suggestion: In addition to ensuring that the abdomen is warm, you can also massage the abdomen after rubbing the heat with both hands to improve your ability to ward off cold.

Keep your feet warm – soak your feet in hot water

There are more than 200 acupuncture points on the ankles, which are the "little heart" of the human body. The feet are the farthest from the heart, and the blood supply is small, so the cold can easily invade from the soles of the feet.


Recommendation: In addition to wearing warm shoes, it is best to soak your feet in hot water before going to bed, and then rub the soles of your feet vigorously to promote blood circulation.
