Extremely cold weather, it will gradually warm up in the future.The Great Cold is the last solar term of the year, when the cold reaches its peak and the yang energy starts to grow. It signifies the beginning of a new cycle.At this time, the yin energy in nature gradually declines, and the organs of the human body are still in a cold state.To take care of your health during the Great Cold, you need to nourish both yin and yang.The Three Essentials in the Great Cold1. Drink hot teaThe Great Cold is a transitional period between winter and spring. Women and those with weak yang energy need to pay extra attention to nourishing blood and yang energy.Take astragalus, Chinese yam, and cinnamon, rinse them and crush them, then put them in a gauze bag and tie it tightly; rinse the dates and remove the pits.Put the above ingredients in a cup and steep them with boiling water, cover and steep for 15 minutes. Drink it warm after lunch every day to nourish the liver and kidneys.2. Strengthen the spleenDuring the Great Cold season, you should pay attention to a balanced diet, which can nourish the body and prevent excessive heat.When choosing meat, people with yin deficiency and internal heat can choose cooling duck meat; those who are afraid of cold, prone to diarrhea, or have excessive dampness can choose chicken meat.3. Drink hot porridgeRunny nose, cough, headache... colds are the most common problem in winter. For mild symptoms, you can use some pungent and warm ingredients to dispel the cold and clear the lungs.Take 7 spring onions, 5 slices of ginger (mashed), and 30g of glutinous rice. Boil them with 900ml of water to make a clear porridge, then add 75ml of vinegar.Drink it while it's warm to dispel the cold.The Three Taboos in the Great Cold1. Avoid spicy foodDuring the Great Cold, with the combination of dietary therapy, decreased physical activity, and reduced energy expenditure, consuming spicy and greasy food can easily lead to digestive problems.You can eat some "cooling" foods, such as lotus root juice with honey, which can help moisturize the stomach and promote digestion.2. Avoid overworkThe weather is dry, the indoor temperature is high, and people are prone to become irritable, leading to symptoms such as headache, bitter taste in the mouth, dry throat, etc.At this time, in addition to nourishing the yang of the spleen and kidneys, it is also important to regulate the liver's qi and blood. Get enough rest, avoid excessive fatigue, and prevent emotional instability caused by physical exhaustion.3. Avoid wind and coldDuring this period, cold waves frequently occur and the temperature fluctuates. If you do not protect yourself from the cold, it is easy to catch a cold or even trigger acute cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.When going out, wear a hat and scarf, and cover your head, back, abdomen, and soles of the feet to avoid the invasion of wind and cold.Key Points for Daily Life in the Great Cold1. Sleep early and wake up late to nurture yang energyAdequate sleep is beneficial for the accumulation of yang energy and yin essence.During this period, it is not recommended to engage in outdoor activities in the cold mornings or evenings.2. Protect the head and feet from external coldIf the blood in the body is warm, it will flow smoothly. If it gets cold, it can easily stagnate. Therefore, winter is the season when cerebrovascular diseases such as cerebral thrombosis, myocardial infarction, joint pain, and colds are more prevalent.The head is where all the yang energy gathers, and the cold starts from the feet. If these two parts are well protected, the body will be truly warm and less prone to illness.3. Drink enough water to protect yin and body fluids

As the end of the year approaches and the cold of winter intensifies, we patiently await the return of spring.
