　　Three ways to nourish the kidneys in winter

　　1. Daily maintenance

　　“"Go to bed early and get up late to wait for the sun" is an important aspect of winter health care, which means that people must go to bed early and get up late in the cold winter. Go to bed early to nourish the body's yang energy and keep the body warm. The best time to get up is after the sun comes up, when the human body's yang energy rises rapidly. When you get up at this time, you will be clear-headed and alert. But it may be difficult for office workers to "get up late", so they should try to "go to bed early" and not stay up late. Live a regular life and feel relatively calm. In this way, the body and mind will be restored and recuperated.

　　2. Exercise and recuperation

　　Carry out as many physical activities as possible in winter, which can not only enhance immunity and disease resistance, but also help the lungs breathe and prevent various chronic respiratory diseases because the kidneys control Qi. The kidneys and the bladder are one internal organ and the other is the exterior and interior of each other. The bladder meridian runs on the back, and the invasion of cold evil is the first to bear the brunt. Therefore, you should pay attention to keeping your back warm in winter and wear a cotton vest or woolen vest to protect kidney yang. The ancients believed that the kidneys govern stinging, which is the foundation of sealing. Therefore, excessive sexual intercourse should be avoided in winter, and excessive sweating during work and exercise should be avoided to prevent the loss of yin essence in the kidneys and the dissipation of yang energy.

　　3. Diet and maintenance

　　For nourishing the kidneys and preventing colds, dietary adjustment is also very important. In winter, it is advisable to choose foods that warm the kidneys, strengthen yang, and produce high heat, such as mutton, dog meat, and bird meat. This is especially beneficial to those with weak body constitutions. You can also eat some foods with kidney-tonifying functions, such as walnuts, chestnuts, longans, etc. Black food can enter the kidneys and strengthen the kidneys. It is also suitable to eat black rice, black beans, black sesame seeds, black fungus, and black-bone chicken. It is advisable to eat various kinds of warm and hot porridge frequently in winter. If the above foods are put into the porridge and cooked, it can not only dispel cold, but also nourish and cure diseases.
