Head: special people should 'warm their head'
There has always been a saying among the people that "cool your head and warm your feet", because traditional Chinese medicine believes that "the head is the meeting of all Yang", and Yang Qi is the most abundant and cold resistant; From the perspective of modern medicine, the head is close to the heart and the supply of oxygen and blood is relatively sufficient. Therefore, for healthy people, it is not impossible for the head to be properly 'frozen'. It can also enhance the cold resistance of the human body and improve immunity. However, for the elderly, people with weak body and low immunity and people suffering from chronic diseases such as chronic bronchitis, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, their cold tolerance is poor and can not be measured by ordinary people. Therefore, for these people, it is best to 'warm their head'.
Head cold proof tips
1. Wear warm hats and scarves when going out, and avoid walking against the wind.
2. Don't sleep with your head covered: it's best not to cover your quilt over your head to keep warm at night, because the air is not circulating, people breathe less and less oxygen, and are prone to chest tightness, sweating and even waking up from sleep. We just need to close the doors and windows when we sleep to avoid the cold wind blowing on our head.
Abdomen and back: add clothes to prevent diseases
Important organs such as lung, heart, spleen and stomach are located in the chest and abdomen. In case of cold, it is easy to cause diseases of corresponding organs, such as heart attack, cough, asthma, stomach pain and diarrhea. For women, abdominal cold may also affect reproductive health, dysmenorrhea, infertility and so on. In addition, traditional Chinese medicine believes that the back is inhabited by the kidney pulse, and colds often start from the back. Therefore, keeping the waist and back warm can not only prevent colds, strengthen the kidney and strengthen the waist, but also prevent the recurrence and aggravation of old diseases. This is especially important for beauty lovers who do not want to cover their body curves with heavy cotton clothes.
Abdominal cold proof tips
Add a coat. It's best to wear a vest or vest even in a warm room; Cover the quilt when you rest at night and put on clothes when you get up at night to protect your chest, abdomen, waist and back from cold.
Hands and feet: massage to promote circulation
As the saying goes, 'cold starts from feet', feet are farthest from the heart, poor blood circulation, less fat and poor thermal insulation, so they are easy to suffer from cold; And traditional Chinese medicine believes that several important meridians of the human body converge from the feet. Cold feet will affect the health of the whole body and reduce the disease resistance. Therefore, keeping feet warm is of great significance for warm-up and disease prevention. Both hands are also at the ends of the limbs, which are also easy to be attacked by cold. In addition to feeling cold, cold can also take away the oil from the skin, reduce the secretion of sebaceous glands, and lead to dry or even chapped hand skin.
Hands and feet cold proof tips

Soaking your feet in hot water before going to bed every night can also help blood circulation, warm your feet and strengthen your body. It is best to soak your feet half an hour before going to bed.

However, the elderly, pregnant women and other special groups should not soak for too long to avoid sweating, panic and other discomfort; People with wounds on their feet are not suitable for foot soaking to avoid infection; People with diabetes feet should not be too hot to soak their feet. In addition, rubbing Yongquan point in the center of the foot after soaking the foot also has a certain health care effect.
2. Glove guard
In addition to wearing gloves to keep warm when going out, it is best to wear rubber gloves when washing dishes and clothes at home, so as to avoid cold water stimulation on the one hand and hand skin damage caused by washing products on the other hand. In addition, the water temperature of hand washing should not be overheated. After washing, apply Vaseline or hand cream while your hand is still dry to protect your skin.
3. Dry shoes and socks
Keep your feet clean and dry. Change your socks every day. Keep your shoes warm, comfortable and dry. The soles should be thicker to enhance warmth retention.
