New Year's Day, health and wellness have secrets to open a healthy life for one year.

[Hui Cong Pharmaceutical Industry Network] New Year's Day is the beginning of the Gregorian New Year, and it coincides with the small holiday and the "two nine" interval. The so-called good start is equal to half of success, and health care is also the same. New Year's Day is a good way to help you start a healthy life for a year. So, what should be done in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation?

Ten layers of clothing are not as good as a layer of cotton

This year's New Year's Day is at the end of the "two nine", the weather is getting colder. Some people like to wear a few layers inside and outside to feel warm at this time, but some people wear a thin stool, the kit down jacket goes out. So how do you wear it to keep warm?

Many people think that the more clothes they wear, the warmer they are. This is actually a misunderstanding. Because the clothes themselves are not heat-producing, they only serve as a barrier. This isolation creates a good "small climate zone" between the clothes and the body, clothes and clothes, so that the body's heat can be preserved and the warmth is felt. . The warmth of the clothes is related to the thickness of the air layer inside the clothes. Therefore, the key to keeping warm is not how many layers are worn, but the material of the clothes. Cotton and down have a lot of air gaps, can hold a certain amount of air, and the warming effect will be better. There is a saying in the saying that "ten ten layers are not as good as a layer of cotton", which is also true.

The three-layer outer three-layer clothes, if they are very windy wool, are not only very heavy but also do not have a warming effect. It is better to wear a pair of close-fitting thermal underwear and then add a layer of sweater. Of course, in the outermost layer of clothes, it is best to add a down jacket or leather coat that can resist wind. This method of dressing can not only maintain the temperature of the body, but also be protected from external cold wind. Xia Gongxu specifically reminded that elderly people with chronic bronchitis, emphysema and stomach diseases should wear cotton vests; elderly clothes with cardiovascular disease should not be too heavy, too heavy will affect blood circulation and hinder action, should choose Light and soft fabrics; the elderly with insufficient joint activity should wear the sweaters that are open to the buckle as much as possible, and the buttons should be less, so that they can be worn and taken off.

Eat three kinds of soup to prove the cold

Folks often have the saying that "cold in the 39th", and the "29th" that New Year's Day is in is just the outpost of the "39th", so cold and warmth can be taken at this time. Chinese medicine believes that the three groups of people with qi deficiency, yang deficiency and blood deficiency are most afraid of cold at this time. Wang Dongxu, deputy director of the Dietary Pharmacy Clinic of Nanjing Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, reminds everyone that even if the medicated diet is cold, it is necessary to testify. The above three groups of people may wish to try the following three kinds of soups to warm the cold.

Qi deficiency, cold drinking, yellow yak beef soup

Chinese medicine believes that in addition to being cold and sweating, people with qi deficiency often show muscle weakness and poor physical strength. As long as the intensity of physical labor is slightly greater, it is easy to be tired. The body defense ability is generally not so good, it is easy to catch a cold, and the time to recover after a cold is slower than others.

Astragalus membranaceus has the effect of tonifying qi and sun, and fixing the table to stop sweating. Dangshen has the effect of strengthening the spleen and nourishing the lungs, nourishing qi and nourishing the blood. Beef has the benefits of supplementing the vital energy, nourishing the spleen and stomach, strengthening the muscles and bones, phlegm and phlegm, and quenching thirst and stopping phlegm. It is suitable for people who have hidden qi, shortness of breath, weak bones and muscles, long-term anemia and yellow eyes.

Yang deficiency is afraid of cold drinking ginger and cinnamon mutton soup

Chinese medicine believes that "yang deficiency is cold outside". When people are yang-deficient, they cannot resist the invasion of external cold evils, and there will be fear of cold. Generally, people with yang deficiency are afraid of cold, cold hands and feet, lack of energy, loose stools, and even symptoms such as dying.

Ginger is partial to cold, and ginger has more warming effect than ginger. Fan Yang is afraid of cold, cold abdominal pain, and limbs are not suitable for use. Cinnamon is the most commonly used seasoning food in the cold season. It has the functions of supplementing Yuanyang, warming the spleen and stomach, passing blood veins and dispersing cold air. Not only can it replenish yang, but it can also dispel cold and evil. Therefore, people who are phoenix-stricken and cold, have limbs that are not warm, and have low back pain are best to eat. Dried ginger, cinnamon and mutton together make a medicated diet, which is more conducive to enhancing the effect of tonifying the cold.

Blood deficiency, cold drinking, shredded chicken gelatin soup

Many women are afraid of cold because of blood deficiency. Menstruation, belt, fetal, and production may cause blood loss, and menstrual fatigue, excessive menstrual flow, excessive bleeding during production, etc. can lead to blood deficiency. Women with blood deficiency and cold have generally manifested as sallow complexion or pale, fatigue, cold limbs and other symptoms. If the symptoms are not serious, try the chicken gelatin soup. Ejiao is a good product for blood supplementation, especially for bleeding and yin deficiency and blood deficiency syndrome. Ejiao is both a nourishing and a nourishing product.

Staying in winter prevention "air conditioning disease"

In the cold winter, if you stay in the warm air-conditioned room for a long time, you will have symptoms such as dry skin and angry lips. Pay attention to whether you are suffering from "air conditioning disease".

Large indoor and outdoor temperature differences are easy to induce colds, fever, skin is also easy to dry, throat will be dumb, lips are also easy to get angry. Under normal circumstances, the indoor and outdoor temperature difference is best not to exceed 7 °C. Li Fang reminded that if the time spent in the air-conditioned room is too long, you can take time out to breathe, and regularly open the window to keep the air flowing indoors and outdoors. Drinking warm water, not only can prevent colds, but also help relieve symptoms such as dry throat itching caused by dryness.

One year's work is exhausted, and many office workers have discomfort at the waist. Take advantage of the New Year's Day holiday, you can try acupressure at home to ease the waist discomfort. Dr. Dai Qibin, deputy director of the Department of Acupuncture and Moxibustion, Nanjing Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, said that the use of Chinese medicine massage and other methods can alleviate such discomfort, such as massage Yaoyangguan.

The acupoint of Yaoyangguan is located at our waist, and is the common acupoint for treating lumbar disease in the lower 4th lumbar spinous process depression in the midline. Readers who feel long-term discomfort after returning from a long vacation may wish to go home and kneel on the bed.

If you are close to your friends and relatives, you can also massage in the position of the waist and Yangguan.
