    "Seventy-month waiting Annals order," said the snow was "in November (Lunar New Year) festival, the big Sheng also, bringing the snow Sheng also" This is the ancient explanation of the snow. Relative to the light snow, heavy snow when the weather is colder. At this point along the Yellow River in China are beginning to have snow, thousands of miles north of the present Piao charming landscape.
    Snow make up properly, one year from the cold
    Snow when the cold air and humidity will increase, in the snow to within 15 days of the winter solstice, because the gas is still higher than the earth, empty, so the theme of health, like solar terms with snow to the main warming.
    Science from the TCM perspective, mainly through the winter are all tonic, when snow should tonic. Tonic to vary. And diet is just one aspect of nutritional supplements, in addition, should also be raised by the spirit of adjusting diet, physical training, careful intercourse, cold and other comprehensive nursed back to optimum temperature to achieve the purpose of health tonic. That is in addition to Sibu, drugs can also make wine, fill complement and God.
    Yang tonic to the main snow, but the situation should be selected according to their own. Like the red lit, dry mouth, dry cough, chapped lips, dry skin, dry hair, such as deficiency of yin should protect against dry, ney lungs based, willing to run the soft, edible food such as milk, soy milk, eggs, fish, sesame, honey, lily, etc., not eat hot foods such as chili, pepper, anise, fennel and so on.

    Talk about wine in this supplement. Hundred drugs for the first wine, the wine that is ranked in Chinese medicine. Since wine has medicinal properties, we must carefully drinking. This time from the snow until the spring equinox, not suitable for drinking. Because in the Big Chill to the vernal equinox two months, people easy to excessive liver, but alcohol is strong qi thing, this time will be fueled by alcohol. In addition, the red or fiery as those who should not drink more.
    The liver is insufficient, may moderate drinking of red wines to complement the Sorghum yang.

Moderate drinking can be cool at night fingers, shortness of breath fill strength; back cool person with wine can Warming yang; abdominal distension and may be diluted spleen; eyes dry wine with those who may Liver Yin. But the wine is double-edged sword, can dependents, may also be hurt, to correctly deal with it, should not be excessive, only the right to drink, be conducive to health.
    Now most people have strong sense of tonic, but do not understand the "links" is the key to good health. Fill light barrier does not work, traditional Chinese medicine called "links" is the qi, blood, and the meridian flow, qi stagnation, depressive meridian resistance can also cause disease.
    Winter simplest method is to eat more carrots through. As the saying goes "eat eat Luobu Xia Dong Jiang, do not doctors prescribe." In order to keep out the cold regimen, the ancient royal imperial cuisine of choice is lamb stew of white radish. This dish can add the body's yang, warm the five internal organs, especially for kidney and spleen of human consumption.

However, because of white radish Weixin Gan, cold, so the stomach Deficiency, eating or physical weakness of those who do not wish to Eat; white radish broken gas, clothes do not eat after ginseng tonic, otherwise it will affect the efficacy. In addition, more gas consumption of raw carrot, but also detrimental to the ulcer disease, so patients with these diseases should also eat white turnips.
    Make a good snow season, warm nourishing yang properly, the body of the coming year will have a firm foundation.
    Anti-cold wind chill, scarves leave the body
    Snow solar terms, because of the cold, people like to wear heavy sweaters, down jackets, warm pants, etc., and in the body, while armed, many people tend to have neglected an important part of that neck.
    Why is the neck is very important? The simplest is the cold wind chill is easy to bring the body through the neck, causing a sore throat and inflammation. In addition, the neck is the site where the trachea, occurs in winter itchy throat, cough, a small amount of phlegm, cough medicine service is not obvious, may be related to the neck, chest catch cold related. In particular, the cervical spine is not good for people who wear high-necked clothes in winter, to go out wearing scarves is very important. In addition to scarves, wore a winter hat as far as possible, about 60% of the head can reduce heat loss; with a long scarf tied to his chest, chest protector, and can reduce the cold of the heart, spleen and stomach of the impact.
    In addition to the neck, shoulders, chest, back and feet should keep warm. Chinese medicine, the body's head, chest and feet are most vulnerable to the three parts of cold pathogen invasion. "Jiao lung is dirty", and too hot can not stand the cold, especially cold, the most likely cause coughing, asthma. Female friends dressed in winter waistcoat, can prevent shoulder catch cold. Feet warm because of the foot farthest away from the heart, blood supply to the slow and small. As the saying goes "cold starting from the feet" if catch cold feet will cause reflex contraction of the respiratory tract mucosa capillaries, the decline in disease resistance, resulting in upper respiratory tract infection. Therefore, the beginning of winter frost cold, warm feet in particular should be strengthened, such as wearing stockings, thick boots, hot feet before going to bed. Feet in warm, but also promote the blood flow inside the body.
    Yin and drink plenty of water, sleep less clothes
    An overcast winter, the snow season of the year compared with chi Shing season. With the advantage of this moment, if the weather Yin, you can adjust the body's yin and yang balance, in particular Yin people. Chinese medicine believes that water is the Yam Yam, so the occasion of the depth of winter, drink plenty of water to Yin.

    In addition to Yin, the winter cold but also to temperature. Prevention of cold invasion is necessary, but not warm storms, especially wrapped in a simple taboo thick clothing, or the baking front and the. Many elderly people sleeping there is a misunderstanding that the cold weather cold, sleep when you wear more clothes. In fact, this is not only impede the normal skin to "breathe", but also affect blood circulation, resulting in reduction of surface heat, even if covered with a thick quilt, or feel cold. "(Wang Tong)
