After the light snow, these 2 things must be stopped, don't wait for a heart attack and cerebral infarction to regret it...
After the light snow solar term, the yin energy rises and the yang energy falls, causing the heaven and the earth to be blocked, the yin and yang are not intertwined, all things lose their vitality, and the heaven and earth are closed and turn into a harsh winter. First snow will occur in areas north of the Yellow River, reminding people that it is time to keep warm from the cold.
In winter, we should pay special attention to health care, and we must not get cold due to thin clothing, which will lead to the occurrence of some diseases. Xiaoxue has arrived, don't do the following two things!
First things first
Don't wake up too early! Beware of heart attacks!
Before and after the light snow, remember to "nourish" yang energy.
Experts emphasize that people should go to bed early, and at the same time, it is not easy to get up too early in the morning, especially if the middle-aged and elderly people have time, it is best to wait for the sun to rise and get up when the yang energy is generated, so as to ensure sufficient sleep, which is conducive to the latent yang energy and the accumulation of yin essence.
In the light snow season, the weather gradually enters the real cold, and the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor gradually increases. It is essential to wear more clothes to keep warm, and for people with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, the most important thing to protect is the heart.
In winter, people's adaptation to cold stimuli is relatively poor, so it is also a high incidence period of cardiovascular diseases such as angina pectoris and myocardial infarction.
Cold weather can cause blood vessels to constrict, blood pressure to rise, and blood supply to the body insufficient, so it is prone to arrhythmia, angina, and eventually myocardial infarction and other serious consequences.
Disease prevention measures
Before and after light snow, you can get up a little later and sleep in.
Also, be sure to pay attention to temperature changes and pay attention to keeping warm. Due to the cold weather in winter, the blood vessels of the elderly are easy to constrict, and the blood viscosity is relatively high, so it is necessary to drink more water to reduce the blood viscosity.
Mood swings are also a predisposing factor for cardiovascular disease, so it is important to maintain a calm mind and avoid emotional agitation, especially joy and sorrow.
The second thing
Don't overdo it! Beware of cerebral infarction
The wood withered and the grass withered, everything withered, and the snow was cloudy, which often made people feel depressed and unhappy. The basic way to change emotions and regulate the body and mind during this season is exercise. However, don't exercise too much and beware of strokes!
Middle-aged and elderly people due to their own aging, blood vessels hardened, elasticity deteriorated, cold, tiredness, emotional changes may make blood vessels suddenly constrict, resulting in insufficient blood supply, brain hypoxia, cerebral hemorrhage or cerebral embolism, commonly known as "stroke".
Disease prevention measures
The elderly should maintain a calm mind, but do not worry too much about this kind of disease, some elderly people are afraid that they will suffer from this kind of disease, but they do not eat well, sleep well, and the result is more likely to get sick.
If you want to exercise, it's best to follow your doctor's advice, take it gradually, and don't engage in too strenuous exercise. Exercise in moderation and consistently.
In addition to this, the weather is getting colder and colder, and we also need to pay attention to our bodies. So, how should we maintain our health during the light snow season?
Many people think that it is only easy to get hot in summer, but this is not the case. The cold winter is also the "peak season" for fire.
It is the early winter season of light snow, the weather is relatively cold, and some people like to eat spicy foods such as hot pot, which are easy to cause people to have "internal fire", which is often referred to as "fire". In order to prevent excessive heat from "fire", raw radish can clear heat and generate Jin, cool blood and stop bleeding, phlegm and cough, and the cooked radish is biased towards benefiting the spleen and stomach, dissipating food and qi, so eat some radish in moderation when tonifying in winter, and people with spleen and stomach deficiency can not eat raw.
In addition, when the temperature drops after a light snowfall, people are in a hurry to add clothes and supplements, and they may not have time to clear the void fire, so they wrap it in their bodies. Coupled with dry weather and frequent haze, it is most likely to cause lung fire, dry throat, hot cough, blood in sputum and other symptoms. Try eating ripe pears at this time. Pears have the effects of moistening the lungs and clearing heat, nourishing yin and rejuvenating the body, and for patients with dry and hot cough, cooked pears also have the effect of relieving cough.
Here is a simple dietary prescription for your reference: take 1 large pear and 60 grams of honey; Dig holes in the pears, remove the pits and fill them with honey; Place in a large bowl and steam over water. Take 1~2 times a day.
In the light snow season, the weather is cold and dark, the light is less, and the haze is constant, and people's mood will also be affected, especially those who suffer from depression are more likely to aggravate the condition. Therefore, you should adjust your mentality and stay optimistic.
Wu Shang, a medical scientist in the Qing Dynasty, said: "The disease of the seven feelings, looking at flowers to relieve boredom, listening to music to eliminate sorrows, is better than those who take medicine." Traditional medicine attaches great importance to the role of sunlight on human health, and believes that often basking in solar energy helps the human body's yang energy, especially in winter, because nature is in a state of "yin and yang decline", and people are no exception.
From the perspective of Western medicine, sunlight can help synthesize serotonin, which is beneficial for overcoming depression. At the same time, you can also take advantage of the opportunity to communicate with others and relieve your knots.
Eating some fruits and vegetables such as bananas and spinach in moderation can also help improve your mood. Bananas contain a substance called serotonin, which can help the human brain produce serotonin, which can promote a person's mood to become happy; Dark-coloured vegetables such as spinach contain more folic acid, which is also beneficial for improving bad mood.
After a light snowfall, the north wind becomes a frequent visitor, the weather is cold, and everything is hidden. To adapt to the changes in solar terms, we should pay attention to nourishing the liver and kidneys. "Nine Needles and Twelve Originals" says: "The kidneys are also from the Taixi acupoint. It means that the Taixi acupoint is the original acupoint of the kidney meridian, and the human body is the key acupoint to replenish yin, and stimulating this acupoint can nourish yin and benefit the kidneys, aphrodisiac and strengthen the waist.
Location: The Taixi point is located on the inside of the foot, in the depression between the back of the medial malleolus and the tendon of the heel bone.
Method: In daily life, you can massage every day, or soak your feet in hot water before going to bed every night, and you can massage the Taixi acupoint by yourself, the effect is better, and the soreness is better.
Diet can eat more black food, because it enters the liver and kidney two meridians, has a good dietary tonic effect, for people who are afraid of cold, especially women, you can also eat some walnuts appropriately.
When the snow arrives and the temperature drops again, don't do these two things! Don't wait until you have a heart attack or cerebral infarction to regret it~
