Going to bed early can nourish the body's Yang qi, and getting up late can nourish the body's Yin qi, so that the balance of Yin and Yang in the body can be maintained.
2. Keep warm. Minor Cold is one of the coldest solar terms of the year. At this time, keeping warm should be the first priority of clothing. During this solar term, people suffering from heart disease and high blood pressure tend to get worse, and the number of people suffering from "stroke" increases. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the blood in the human body is easy to flow if it is warm and easy to stagnate if it is cold. This is what the so-called "blood coagulates when it meets cold" says. So in this solar term to keep warm work must be done, especially head and neck, back, hands and feet and other parts susceptible to cold to double care. Pay attention to head warm, not only go out to wear a hat, but also do not wash your hair before going out, before going to bed and other details of life. Pay attention to back warm, daily can wear a cotton or wool vest, in order to protect kidney Yang.

There is a popular saying, "If you make up for the winter, you will have no disease in the coming year." It shows the importance of taking supplements in winter. Minor cold diet should focus on warming and tonifying, especially "tonifying kidney and preventing cold".
Mutton is the first choice for warming up during minor Cold. "Herbal Meridian notes" said: mutton into the spleen, stomach, kidney meridian, its sweet and hot taste, can warm the spleen, kidney Yang, qi and blood, spleen and stomach deficiency, eating less nausea, diarrhea, kidney Yang deficiency, qi and blood deficiency, waist and knees sour and soft, impotence, cold hernia, postpartum deficiency of qi, lack of milk, etc..

People who are good at keeping in good health should insist on physical exercise in winter to obtain the effect of nourishing liver and kidney, relaxing tendons and activating collaterals, unblocking qi and enhancing their resistance. For example, yoga, taijiquan, walking, jogging, rope skipping, kicking shuttlecock, playing ball, doing exercises, etc., are all suitable for winter exercise. But winter exercise should pay attention to: first, not too early. It is best to exercise after the sun comes out and the temperature rises. In the wind, haze, cold air hit the weather, it is best not to exercise outdoors, you can do some simple exercise indoors. Try to reduce the number of times you go out at night to avoid damaging your Yang. Second, before exercise, we must make full preparations for activities.

"Plain ask • six sections of the dirty elephant theory" said: "the kidney of the Lord of insects, sealing the hidden, the essence of the place also." Heart main fire, hidden god, only fire and water mutually aid, heart and kidney intersection, can god qingxin ning. Therefore, in minor cold, should nourish the heart and kidney, in order to preserve the essence of energy. "Plain ask • four gas tone god big theory" pointed out: "If the zhi Fu Ruo hidden, if there is a private meaning, if there has been." Want people to avoid all sorts of undesirable interference stimulation namely, be in "tranquil nihilism, true gas from it" state, just can make mind quiet freely, contain but not reveal, secret not declare, give a person with the beauty of pleasure.
