What are the winter health tips? Traditional Chinese Medicine teaches you how to maintain health in winter

Winter has arrived and the weather is gradually getting colder. We need to pay attention to many details and pay attention to health and wellness. So, what are the winter health tips? Below, experts will introduce how traditional Chinese medicine teaches you how to maintain health in winter [SEP]. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the importance of "not disturbing the yang, lying down early and getting up late, and waiting for sunlight". In other words, in the cold winter, do not disrupt the physiological function of the body's yin and yang conversion due to the disturbance of yang qi. As the saying goes, 'In winter, the qi of heaven and earth is closed, and the blood and qi are hidden. People should not sweat or release their yang energy.' Therefore, going to bed early and waking up late, and working at sunrise to ensure sufficient sleep, is conducive to the accumulation of yang energy and yin essence. Wearing too little or too thin clothing, and having a low room temperature, can easily lead to colds and also deplete yang energy. On the contrary, if one wears too much or too thick clothing and the room temperature is too high, the pores will open and the yang energy will not hide, making it easier for cold pathogens to invade. Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that "cold is a Yin evil that often harms Yang Qi." Yang Qi in the human body is like the sun in the sky, giving light and warmth to the natural world. Without it, all things cannot survive. Similarly, without yang energy, the human body will lose its metabolic vitality. So, after the beginning of winter, remember to "nourish and store" your daily life, and add clothing appropriately.
