Beginning of winter should "make up for winter" by going to bed early and getting up late.

Beginning of winter means entering winter, everything is put away, and attention should be paid to avoiding the cold at first. From the perspective of TCM health care, the natural yin flourishes and the yang declines in winter, and health care should start with gathering yin and protecting yang.

It is said that "going to bed early and getting up early is good for your health", but with the coming of winter, some changes should be made in your daily life. In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, such weather can easily damage people's yang, so we should pay attention to "going to bed early and getting up late" in our daily life, and wait until the sun comes out to avoid strenuous exercise.

Bu Deyan, deputy director of the Chinese Medicine Health Service Department of Yunnan Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said: "Young people can't do it, so they should sleep as much as possible, but the elderly can. There is no need for the elderly to get up early and get up in the dark to buy food and do morning exercises. "

After beginning of winter, the temperature difference between day and night gradually increased, and the temperature change also brought challenges to the heart, hypertension and various chronic diseases. The doctor said that besides getting up as late as possible, there is one thing to do before going to bed early.

Bu Deyan, deputy director of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine Health Services of Yunnan Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said: "beginning of winter can soak his feet at first. In the process of soaking feet, you can soak them in Jiang Shui, Folium Artemisiae Argyi or warm water. If you have soaked enough, you can click Yongquan with your thumb. "

Besides daily life, beginning of winter's diet also has a lot to pay attention to. Beginning of winter's so-called "winter tonic" is to eat more cold and warm food, and doctors suggest eating more ginger and yam.
