there are eight parts of the human body are the most afraid of cold. It is particularly important to keep them warm and protect them. As long as the method is appropriate, we can spend a warm winter.
feet
feet are the most afraid part of the whole body, “cold feet make the whole body cold”. The meridians of the kidney, spleen and stomach originate from the feet, but the blood supply is often insufficient because the feet are farthest from the heart and the “distance” of blood flow is the longest. If your own heat energy is not enough, you should turn to “foreign aid”. The best way is to soak your feet in hot water every day to promote blood circulation and warm your whole body. Soak your feet for 20 minutes each time, and the water temperature is about 42 ℃. At the same time, you can massage the Yongquan point of the sole of your feet to regulate the viscera and relax the meridians. Shoes and socks should be warm, breathable and hygroscopic.
waist
the second waist is afraid of cold. It is the viscera of the kidney. The kidney likes temperature and hates cold. Once it feels cold, it will immediately “make mood”. Men will have weak waist and knees, impotence and premature ejaculation, while women are prone to menstrual disorder, dysmenorrhea, etc. Therefore, both men and women must wear medium and long coats when it is cold, and don’t expose their waist. At ordinary times, you can rub your waist with both hands: after rubbing your hands together for fever, press the waist hole (located in the 3.5-inch depression next to the spinous process of the third lumbar spine), once a day in the morning and evening, 50 ~ 100 times each time, which can warm the kidney Yang and smooth the blood.
head
head is the master of one body. All Yang meet and all veins are connected. Once attacked by cold evil, it is easy to cause cold, rhinitis, headache, toothache, trigeminal neuralgia, etc. The head is still the least good at retaining heat. The study found that the head lost 30% of the total heat of the human body when the temperature was 15 ℃ and 60% when the temperature was 4 ℃. Therefore, the colder the day, the more you should keep your head warm. You must wear a hat when you go out in winter. It’s best to cover your forehead. Don’t take off your hat immediately after your head is sweating. You should first go indoors to slowly eliminate the sweat and avoid the cold wind. In addition, comb your hair more than 100 times every morning to make your scalp slightly hot, which is conducive to the patency of Qi and blood in the meridians of the head, promote the rise of Yang and keep Qi and blood.
neck
the neck is the “fortress” of the human body. It bears the head on the top, the trunk on the bottom, and the throat. It is also the only way for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, which makes its “body” particularly delicate. Once it gets cold, cervical spondylosis, pharyngitis and cerebrovascular diseases will follow. It’s best to wear stand collar clothes in winter, especially for the elderly. You must wear scarves when you go out, which is good for the prevention of hypertension and cardiovascular disease.
knee
cold in the knee can cause local muscle and vascular contraction of the joint and cause joint pain. The key to protect the knee joint is to keep warm and cold, wear knee pads, or choose thick pants on the knee, and pay attention not to exercise too much. In addition to winter, in rainy and snowy days and summer, the knee joints in the air-conditioned room can not be cooled or damp.
ears
ears are small, have a large area in contact with air, and heat is easy to dissipate. In addition, the ear skin is thin, and the auricle lacks the protection of subcutaneous fat, which is very easy to grow chilblain. Therefore, when they go out, they must “wear” warm coats. They can wear ear bags or cover their ears with wide hats and scarves. When entering the warm room from the outside, you can quickly rub your ears with your hands to make them warm quickly. Massage and rub the auricles every morning, middle and evening for about 5 ~ 10 minutes each time.
nose
the nose is often exposed. If the nasal mucosa contacts cold air, mucus secretion will be reduced, capillaries will become brittle, and the “screen” effect of the nose will become worse, resulting in bacteria entering the lungs and increasing the probability of respiratory tract infection. Wear a cotton mask when going out, but it’s best not to cover it with a scarf to prevent bacteria or fabric fibers from entering the nasal cavity. When it is cold, massage the nose every day. After rubbing the outside of the thumbs of both hands together, massage up and down along the bridge of the nose and nose for 30 times. One time before getting up early and one time before going to bed late can enhance nasal blood circulation and improve cold tolerance.
the back
the back is the Yang among the Yang. If you ignore the warmth preservation of the back, it is easy to be invaded by the evil of wind and cold, consume the Yang of the human body, and lead to the decline of immune function. It’s best to wear a cotton vest or wool vest in winter. When the weather is good, don’t forget to sunbathe your back. The heat flow will make your whole body comfortable.
in addition, the winter coat should also be windproof, and clothes with wool and leather texture can be selected; Underwear should be soft, hygroscopic and breathable to facilitate heat preservation and drying; For parts prone to frostbite, such as hands, ears and nose, you should often exercise or massage.
