Therefore, even in the case of cold and physical weakness, you should eat more as long as you have some appetite.

Winter solstice diet should be 'three more and three less'

The winter solstice is a special solar term, because the day is the shortest day of the year, and the sun is almost directly on the Tropic of cancer. After the winter solstice, with the direct sunlight moving northward, the time of the day gradually grows. As the saying goes: after eating the winter solstice meal, one day is a long line. Professor Pei said that the winter solstice is also a good time for people to keep healthy, because from winter, life activities begin to turn from prosperity to decline and from dynamic to static. At this time, scientific health preservation helps to ensure vigorous energy and prevent premature aging, so as to prolong life. In the winter solstice, the diet should be diverse, the grain, fruit, meat and vegetables should be matched reasonably, and the high calcium food should be selected appropriately. The diet should be light, not thick, greasy and salty food. In winter, Yang Qi declines day by day, and the spleen likes temperature and hates cold. Therefore, it is appropriate to eat warm food to protect the spleen and kidney. Eat a small number of meals. Attention should be paid to 'three more and three less', that is, more protein, vitamins and cellulose and less sugar, fat and salt.

Winter solstice health, eat nuts

Tonic at this time is tantamount to 'sending charcoal in the snow'.

Nutritional value: walnuts are rich in protein, fat, minerals and vitamins. Fat contains more linoleic acid and has high nutritional value.
