Today (January 6) is "Xiaohan". According to the website of the Ministry of Culture, the weather becomes cold after the winter solstice, and it has not been very cold yet, so it is called Xiaohan. The time is about January 6th, the calendar of the early December calendar. If the month happened to be around that year, it would have moved to November, which is the second day of winter.

What are the prone conditions for Xiaohan?

According to the website of the Agricultural Department, Xiaohan belongs to the December festival, and December was called "The Moon". On the eighth day of the 12th month, there is a custom of eating porridge among the people. They use glutinous rice (or millet, millet, japonica rice, coix seed rice, etc.), cinnamon, dried lychee, seeds, red rice, peanut kernels, melon bark, almonds, pine nuts, ginkgo, chestnuts, etc., or only eight kinds of them are taken, or there are no limits to eight kinds of them to make sweet porridge, worship Buddha and ancestors, and give each other a favor.

Peng Wenya, director of the Taipei City Chinese Medical Association, once interviewed and said that Xiaohan is a very interesting day. Because it was the first day at the beginning of the year, it is often mistakenly regarded by the public as the day of spring, but it is actually the second in the 24 days. Xiaohan is not necessarily the coldest, but its characteristic is that it often has cold surfaces and changes in temperature very greatly. People should pay attention to cough, influenza and stomach problems. If you often stay up late and don’t like drinking water, you are prone to getting angry and having too much stomach acid, so you should pay more attention.

In the warmth part, in addition to thickening clothes and wearing syllable styles, from a Chinese medical perspective, it is recommended that people can drink two types of tea, Schisandra chinensis and Luoshenhua. Peng Wenya said that Schisandra chinensis has the effects of protecting the liver and relieving phlegm. After adding hot water, soak it and drink directly. The origin of Luoshen flower is mainly in the Huadong region. At this time, it is considered to be produced after collection and is made into a dry period. People can boil Luoshen flower into tea, or boil it with honey and drink it. The sweet and sour taste has the effect of warming the throat.

What should Xiao Han eat to nourish the health?

Chen Chaozong, chairman of Taipei City Zhonggong Association, was interviewed and explained that the kidneys are in winter, and all things are closed in winter. It is advisable to go to bed early and get up late when the sunlight appears again. If the opposite approach occurs, it will cause kidney aura. Wu Mingzhu, a Chinese doctor, reminds that patients with cold weather, high blood pressure, heart disease, asthma, etc. should pay more attention to keeping warm. Most people can eat more foods with high protein content. The principle of eating is to "strengthen the spleen and stomach, nourish the lungs and kidneys."

In terms of food supplements, Taiwanese people love to eat hot pot. When the weather is cold, people love to try it. Wu Mingzhu instructed that if you eat too much oily and spicy food, it is easy to get angry and cause acne, it must be done; at this time, you can eat more people with geese, yellow croaker, summer grass, red ginger, chestnuts, etc. On weekdays, meat such as beef, chicken, and pork are good sources of protein.

Chen Chaozong said that in winter, it is advisable to nourish the kidney and yang, and you can eat tangy foods such as seaweed, seaweed and jellyfish, but it should not be too much, otherwise the kidney water will become colder and irritate the heart. The kidneys are water-controlled and should eat warm and black foods, such as mutton and meat that are warm and strong and produce high heat. Black foods such as black rice, black beans, black sesame, black flora, and walnuts, chestnuts, cinnamon and other foods have the effect of nourishing the kidney and benefiting the kidneys.

What should I pay attention to when Xiaohan exercise?

Xiaohan is also a great time to swell the body and change the quality. This is what is called "Winter Flower". Chen Chaozong said that the saying goes: "When you move, you will suffer less from illness, drink more medicine in winter," which shows that many people don't want to exercise because it is cold in winter. In fact, exercise in winter is beneficial to the body, helps increase immunity, and can prevent colds, pneumonia, and other diseases.

But when you exercise in winter, you should pay attention to keeping warm. Chen Chaozong said that in the cold winter, going to bed early can protect the body's yang. When you wake up after sunrise, you can avoid the severe cold and seek warmth. However, when you exercise in the morning, you should avoid the invasion of evil and cold. You do not have to go outdoors to practice in bad weather. At home, you should often open the doors and windows to change the air, which will accelerate the air in the room, allowing the sun to fill the room and keep it dry.
