Women will be healthier in winter if they pay attention to these details!

Modern people pay attention to health and wellness. Even in the cold winter, many women's health plans are very clear. In addition to starting from the big picture, many small details are also worth paying attention to in winter health preservation. Here I will introduce 4 small details to you:

Detail 1: How many minutes do you stay in bed after getting up?

Is staying in bed a bad habit? But in winter, it is good for your health. Getting up too quickly can easily cause a sudden rise in blood pressure, making you dizzy and possibly inducing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Therefore, it is recommended not to rush to get up after waking up, but to stay in bed for 5 minutes and move your limbs and head while lying in bed.

Detail 2: After getting up, let the air out before folding the quilt

Many women who love cleanliness are accustomed to folding the quilt or spreading it flat on the bed after getting up, but this is actually not scientific. During a night's sleep, the human skin will release a large amount of water vapor, making the quilt damp to varying degrees. If you do not allow the water vapor to dissipate and fold the quilt immediately after getting up, the humid and warm environment will breed a large number of mites and bacteria. Therefore, after getting up, you should first lift the quilt to let it air, and then fold or spread it flat.

Detail 3: Don’t go to bed barefoot

After getting up early, many young people walk barefoot on the floor in a hurry. However, when they come out of bed, their feet have not yet adapted to the outside temperature, and they can easily catch cold when stepping on the ground, causing abdominal pain and diarrhea. In the long run, it will affect gastrointestinal health.

It is recommended to put slippers next to the bed. If you have time, it is best to put on socks before getting up. Otherwise, you should put on slippers first no matter how urgent it is.

Detail 4: Massage your scalp at noon

The blood flow to the brain during the day is 1/5 less than that at night. If conditions permit, try to take a nap for about 30 minutes at noon.

After waking up, you can use your fingers to massage the Baihui, Fengchi, Yintang and other acupoints, or comb your hair and massage your scalp. This can improve blood circulation in the head, eliminate fatigue and dizziness, and washing your face with cold water will make you feel energetic.

Eight principles of women's health preservation in winter

First, sweat less

Winter is the season of Yin, and the focus is on consolidating Yin essence, so it is advisable to lose less body fluids. Therefore, it is necessary to “get rid of the cold and keep warm” in winter and prevent the invasion of cold. But you should also avoid excessive heating, especially wearing thick clothes, drinking in front of the fire, baking your stomach and back, and sweating profusely.

Second, strengthen your feet

Healthy feet mean healthy body. You must always keep your feet clean and dry, wash and change your socks frequently, and wash your feet with warm water every day. You should also massage and stimulate the acupoints on your feet. Walk for more than half an hour every day to exercise your feet. Rub the soles of your feet every morning and evening to promote blood circulation. In addition, it is also very important to choose a pair of shoes that are comfortable, warm, lightweight and have good moisture absorption performance.

Third, prevent illness

The winter climate induces the recurrence or aggravation of chronic diseases. The cold also stimulates the occurrence of myocardial infarction and stroke, increases blood pressure and aggravates the symptoms of diseases such as ulcers, rheumatism, and glaucoma. Therefore, we should pay attention to keeping warm in winter, especially prevent the adverse stimulation of strong winds and cold weather to the body, and prepare first aid medicines. At the same time, we should also pay attention to cold-resistant training, improve the ability to resist cold and disease, and prevent the occurrence of respiratory diseases.

Fourth, there should be enough water

Although sweating and urination decrease in winter, the cells of the brain and various organs of the body still need water to ensure normal metabolism. Generally, daily water intake should not be less than 2000-3000 ml.

Five things to adjust your spirit

Winter can indeed make people feel depressed physically and mentally. The best way to change your mood in winter is to exercise. Jogging, dancing, skating, playing ball, etc. are good remedies to eliminate winter boredom and maintain your spirit.

6. Good air quality

In winter, the level of indoor air pollution is dozens of times more serious than that of outdoor air. You should open doors and windows frequently for ventilation, or place a negative ion generator indoors to clean the air, invigorate your brain and refresh your mind.

Seven Essential Porridge for Health

Avoid sticky, hard, raw and cold foods in winter. Nutrition experts recommend eating hot porridge in the morning and eating a light diet for dinner to nourish the stomach. Especially mutton porridge, glutinous rice, red dates and lily porridge, eight-treasure porridge, millet, milk and rock sugar porridge are the most suitable.

8. Go to bed early

The Yang energy is weak in winter, especially at night, so the ancients advocated "going to bed early and getting up late". Go to bed early to nourish the yang energy, and get up late to consolidate the yin essence.
