1, timing should be accurate.
Winter solstice is the dividing line of climate change in the three months of winter in the lunar calendar. After the solstice of winter, the yin in nature began to fade, and the yang gradually picked up, turning winter seclusion into a lively vitality. At this time, the nutrients absorbed by the human body are highly absorbed and utilized, and it is easier to preserve and play a role. It is the best opportunity for patients with physical weakness to tonify kidney and prolong life, so it is known as "reinforcing in winter and killing tigers in early spring".
2, food supplements should be dialectical.
Diet adjustment is also very important for tonifying kidney and preventing colds. In winter, mutton, dog meat and other warm, kidney-tonifying and high-calorie foods should be chosen, which is especially beneficial to those who are physically weak and afraid of cold. You can also eat some foods that tonify the kidney, such as walnuts, chestnuts and longan. Black food can enter the kidney and strengthen the kidney, and the choice of food should be appropriate, such as black rice, black beans, black sesame seeds, black fungus and black-bone chicken. Always eat all kinds of warm porridge in winter. If these foods are cooked into porridge, they can not only drive away the cold, but also nourish and cure diseases.
Because everyone's physique is different and their age is different, there are some taboos in food supplement, so we should master them flexibly. For those who are deficient in kidney yang, the diet should be warm and kidney yang, and mutton and dog meat can be used. Mutton and dog meat are warm and have the effect of warming and tonifying kidney and yang. For those who are deficient in kidney yin and essence, ducks and geese should be the main food supplement. Zhang Jingyue, a famous doctor in China in the Ming Dynasty, famously said, "Those who are good at nourishing Yang will seek Yang in the shade; those who are good at nourishing Yin will seek Yin in the sun. "For middle-aged and elderly people whose kidney yin essence is gradually declining, they can eat soft-shelled turtle, soft-shelled turtle, medlar, yam, fungus and other yin-protecting products in winter. Winter diet should not be too salty, because salty taste into the kidney will make the kidney water colder and disturb the heart yang. In addition, avoid cold food, so as not to "add insult to injury" and hurt Yuanyang. For the elderly and infirm, it is also best to take food supplements, so there is often a saying that "medicine supplements are not as good as food supplements".
3. Take medicine according to the doctor's advice
Traditional Chinese medicine should be based on the principle of "deficiency is tonic", which is generally applicable to various kidney deficiency syndromes, such as congenital deficiency, acquired disorder, chronic illness, postpartum women, postoperative patients and patients with various chronic diseases. Specifically, you should take relevant tonic drugs under the guidance of a doctor, and you can't take them yourself without authorization. Because doctors have certain professional knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine and dialectical skills, they have certain experience in using drugs for patients' conditions, so as to avoid the phenomenon of incorrect use of drugs when using drugs themselves.
4. It is very important to keep warm and exercise.
Cold protection is also to better maintain kidney qi. After entering winter, "getting up early and staying up late waiting for the sun" is an important aspect of health preservation. It means that people must go to bed early and get up late in the cold winter. Going to bed early nourishes the human yang and keeps the body warm. It is best to get up after the sun comes out, when the yang of the human body rises rapidly. Get up at this time, clear-headed and quick-thinking. But it may be difficult for office workers to "get up late", so try to "go to bed early" and don't stay up late. Regular life, relatively calm mood. Only in this way can the body and mind be restored and conditioned. Never close the doors and windows in winter. The room temperature should not be too high or too low. This is because if the room temperature is too low, it is easy to hurt the human body, and if it is too high, the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is large, and it is easy to get external feelings when going out. Therefore, the room temperature should be kept at 18℃ ~ 22℃.
