Next week is approaching the winter solstice. The ancients said that "the winter solstice has three phases"—earthworms knot, horns dissolve, and water springs move. This refers to the legend that earthworms are creatures with yin and yang. Although yang has grown at this time, but The yin qi is still very strong, and the earthworms in the soil are still curled up. Mi and deer are in the same family, but yin and yang are different. The ancients believed that the horns of Mi were born in the back, so it was yin, and when the yang was born in the winter solstice, the yin qi gradually receded and resolved. horns; the springs in the mountains can flow and are warm.
In Taiwan, there is a custom of eating glutinous rice balls on the winter solstice. After eating glutinous rice balls, it also means that the age is about to increase by one year. The ancients valued family reunion, so during the winter solstice, the whole family formed a circle to make glutinous rice balls.
In addition, eating glutinous rice balls on the winter solstice also has the purpose of "taking the round to achieve yang energy". The winter solstice is the longest night in the year. After the winter solstice, the days grow longer and the yang qi rises. Therefore, eating glutinous rice balls on the winter solstice also symbolizes the arrival of the yang qi with a circle.
In daily life, after the winter solstice, you have to go to bed early and get up late, and it is best to go out for activities after the sun comes out. In exercising, try to do some sweaty sports as little as possible. These sports are the most consuming of yang energy, and should be dominated by sports that do not sweat or sweat less, such as walking, jogging, doing gymnastics, and practicing boxing and dancing. Swords, etc.; should pay attention to abstinence in the life of husband and wife; sunbathe more, especially around 10 am, this is also the easiest way to supplement the yang energy of the human body.
In terms of diet, you should eat more foods that can warm and nourish the kidney-yang, which can be determined according to your own constitution. eat meatFriends can eat mutton tonic, because mutton is a warming and nourishing ingredient, which has the effect of moisturizing the lungs and tonifying kidney qi; friends who are vegetarians recommend tonic with Sishen soup, among which Poria, Gorgon, lotus seeds, yam and barley are all nourishing for the spleen and stomach. Ingredients. In fact, it is enough for ordinary people to drink Sishen soup. They do not necessarily need to eat warm and tonic stewed pork ribs and ginger duck; if you don't like the taste of traditional Chinese medicine, you can also buy fresh yam stewed pork ribs, which is also a good choice.
; can also be paired with cool foods, such as cabbage, pears, cold edamame, white radish, etc., to balance the heat of the soup, and it is best to replace meat with vegetables and mushrooms to reduce Calories can also reduce the burden on the body.
In addition, food supplements are not as good as qi supplementation. At the same time, if you can exercise breathing, you can strengthen the body's own qi, so that the internal organs and six viscera can be filled and adjusted.
