Today is Xiaohan, the 23rd day of the twenty-four days, the fifth day of winter; at this time when the sunlight in the northern hemisphere is most slashing, it means that we will begin to enter the coldest day of the year!
But when the cold is extreme, it is about to recover, the biological world begins to emerge and the geese begin to go north; ancient sayings say: Small cold and great cold, ready for the New Year.

{9 The Eighth Day of the Eighth Day is on the eighth day of the lunar month, which is an important festival among the Chinese people. This festival originated from sacrificial activities in China.

Xiaohan's nourishment1. Winter practice: The period from the Xiaohan to the Great Cold is exactly the 39th period; the so-called "Three Nine Days" means that every nine days is one unit from the next day of the winter solstice, the first nine days are 19th, the second nine days are 29th, and the third nine days are the so-called "Three Nine Days". As the saying goes, "The cold is in the 39th century, and the heat is in the 30th century." The cold is the coldest period and the period when the evil is at its peak.
Suitable sports training and outdoor activities can enhance the body's ability to feel cold. As the New Year is getting closer and closer, some places still retain the New Year-round training style, such as jumping, kicking shuttlecocks, rolling iron rings, fighting chickens, etc. But it should be noted that exercise is easy to sweat in winter. If you don’t take off your clothes in time, it is easy to cause skin rashes. However, excessive exhaustion is easy to catch a cold. Therefore, pay attention to sweating when exercising. It is important to increase the amount of clothing appropriately.
2. Pay attention to keeping warmer, the thicker the clothes are, the warmer they are: In this period, people suffering from heart disease and hypertension will often worsen their condition, and the number of people suffering from "medium wind" increases. Chinese medicine believes that the blood in the human body is prone to flow when it is warm and easy to stop when it is cold. This is what we say: "The blood congestion when it is cold and congestion" is said. Therefore, keeping warm must be done well, especially for the elderly.
Maintain warmth in terms of clothing, especially pay attention to keeping warmth in the head, back, hands and other parts. Many people think that the thicker the clothes are, the warmer they are. In fact, this is not the case, because the warmth of the clothes is related to the thickness of the air layer in the clothes. The clothes are too thick and tight to the body, and the thickness of the air layer is zero, which makes the warmth less. Therefore, when wearing clothes, you should choose wool, cotton, feathers and other products with light weight, looseness and warmth.
3. Suitable for infusion: “ Little cold and great cold, cold turns into ice ” The Little Cold Festival is very cold, so when you eat, warm your body, promote blood circulation, and replenish your energy. Lamb, beef, chestnuts, red potatoes, almonds, melon seeds, peanuts, raisins and other foods are all choices for Xiaohan’s diet. In particular, the cooking method of soup is the most suitable for the cold weather. As the saying goes, "As a winter, you will be free from illness in the next year."
People with "three highs" should monitor the testLittle Cold Period, and cardiovascular, brain and respiratory system diseases are the most common; in addition, the blood pressure, blood sugar and blood lipid levels of the people with "three highs" are prone to change during this cold season, so self-monitoring is needed to prevent the disease from aggravating.
① Anti-hemothing fluctuation: Decreasing air temperature and changing seasonal periods, which will cause blood vessel contraction and blood pressure fluctuation. Patients with hypertension need to strengthen self-monitoring of blood pressure during severe cold seasons. If there are heads, headache symptoms, or the blood pressure level is increased over time, they need to go to the hospital for diagnosis, and adjust the blood pressure medicine in time to stabilize the blood pressure level.
② Anti-blood sugar changes: The weather is cold and the outdoor activities are reduced. Diabetic patients may increase blood sugar levels due to increased diet and reduced exercise. Therefore, on the one hand, the activity should be maintained, and indoor activities can be increased appropriately. At the same time, pay attention to monitoring blood sugar levels and controlling blood sugar.
③ Prevent abnormal blood lipids: Winter season is a good time to improve the diet. However, if you eat too much beef, mutton, and animals, people with abnormal blood lipid elimination may have a further increase in blood lipids. Therefore, people with abnormal blood lipids still need to pay attention to the diet period and should not over-address.
How to improve different types of food? Xiaohan should focus on "warm supplementation"Xiaohan period is the best time to improve in winter, but it is not just to eat nourishing supplements in large quantities, but needs to be appropriate and moderate. According to traditional Chinese medical theory, nourishing is divided into four categories, namely, replenishing gas, replenishing blood, replenishing yang, and replenishing yang..
① Replenishment: To adjust the body quality of the gas, red, white worm, yellow astragalus, huaishan medicine, etc. should be used.
② Blood replenishment: For blood deficiency, it can be used as a syringae, rehmannia, white peony root, aphrodisiac, etc.
③ Replenishing: For the tiny body, it is advisable to use raw rehmannia, glutinous rice, asparagus, wolfberry, etc.
④ Tonic: For the erectus, deer antler, Eucommia ulmoides, Meatygium, Morindae, etc. can be used.
Xiaohan's diet should be mainly warm and nourishing. This period of kidney replenishment can improve the vitality of human life and help the body to adapt to severe winter climate changes.
mutton is the first choice for warm-up food during the Little Cold Festival. "Bencao Collection Notes" says: Lamb enters the spleen, stomach, and kidneys, and its nature and taste is sweet and hot, which can warm the middle and strengthen the spleen, nourish the kidneys and strengthen the yang, and nourish the air and nourish the blood.
