It is not only an important solar term in the twenty-four solar terms, but also a traditional Chinese folk festival. The winter solstice is one of the four o'clock and eight festivals. It is regarded as a big winter festival. In ancient people, there is a saying that "winter solstice is as big as a year"

Every winter, people from the north and south take different ways to nourish the delicacies of the mountains and game, which means that only in this way can they withstand the severe cold in the cold winter. How to tonic properly?

Sleep is the best tonic

"Tonic in winter, fight tigers in spring" is a well-known saying by almost everyone who is tonic. For the Chinese, "winter tonic" is almost like the axiom that "people need to eat when they are hungry".

Born in spring, grow in summer, converge in autumn, and hide in winter. Among them, Dongzang means to hide in nourishment and reserve, hide in recuperation. So the first way to tonic is to make up for sleep.

The old saying goes: "There is a regular life, nourish the spirit, don't work rashly, nourish the spirit." Don't sleep late, don't stay up late. "Time guarantee" is a necessary condition for quality sleep. Therefore, in winter, moderate laziness and occasional sleep "return to the cage" are all ways of keeping in good health in response to the call of the body during winter hiding.

So I promised Xiaobian that I must sleep well!

At the same time, there is an old Chinese saying that “food is the heaven for the people”. The concepts of food, delicacy, and tonic are immersed in our culture: we have just "autumn fat" and then "winter fat". Stopped to "make up", "only one fat will destroy everything, three catties after three catties. Therefore, in a good situation where you will not be hungry, the essence of'filling' is still to be measured. It is more reasonable to enter.

I believe you don’t want to be asked as soon as you meet. Did you gain weight?

"Out" is also a supplement

The prerequisite for eating happily is to have a smooth discharge, and "to give" is also to make up, that is, to ensure smooth stool.

The winter is dry and lack of water, staying still, and at the same time it is good to feed more, which are all causes of constipation. Therefore, drink plenty of water, "you can use dry lips as a marker of water shortage", lipstick is not the key, drinking enough water is the key. "Drink a small amount of water many times. Don't drink it all at once. Drink slowly, sip, and don't worry."

The cold outside in winter prevents us from going outdoors, so outdoor sports are reduced. However, indoor exercise cannot be less, which is very important for preventing and treating constipation. In winter, people can choose to do some easy-to-do simple waist and abdomen exercises indoors, such as dancing, sit-ups and other exercises. In addition, "the belly should always be rubbed", when you remember, do more abdominal massage when you are free, which can speed up the intestinal peristalsis and prevent constipation.

and so

A balanced diet is the "supplement"

What is the correct way to tonic? Eating in moderation and balanced eating is the "tonic".

First of all, don't be superstitious about "big tonic cream." Winter tonic cream is not cost-effective and does not need to be superstitious. No matter how hyped the advertisement is, even if it is the secret recipe from the ancestors, treat it as a "dali pill" instead of taking it seriously.

Second, medicine tonic is not as good as food tonic. For the general population, food is the best medicine. There is no need to chase and take medicine. Tonic is also medicine, not necessary. As long as the diet is balanced, it is tonic.

In short, tonic in winter, sleep tonic is the first. Sleeping a little lazy sleep is the way to keep good health; water tonic is indispensable; exercise (exercise) tonic is indispensable; food tonic is to eat more fruits and vegetables and have a balanced diet, so that you can eat well. Not fat yet.
