【禦寒－要補暖的部位】冬季要保暖！
如何穿衣最保暖
How to dress warm
經常聽人說腳板冷，全身也會覺得凍，其實身體上有幾個部位真的很怕冷，即使不是在冬天也需要特別保暖，只要這些部位平日做好禦寒，就能強身健體防病！
頭﹣天冷時要戴冷帽，早上起來也可梳頭至頭皮有微熱的感覺。
頭為諸陽所會之處，散熱也特別快，所以當頭部被風寒侵襲時，就會容易出現頭痛、感冒等症狀，所以一定要好好為頭部保暖，也要適當地刺激頭皮暢通氣血。
耳朵﹣以圍巾及帽子遮蓋耳朵，也可不時以手搓耳朵至溫暖，同時刺激耳朵附近的穴位。
耳朵皮膚特別薄，所以特別怕冷，這就是為甚麼會有人在冰天雪地下耳朵凍傷至掉落的可怕現象。
頸﹣穿樽領衣和帶圍巾，尤其是老人家又或是本身有心血管疾病的人。
頸是咽喉及心腦血管的必經之處，假如受寒，會特別出現呼吸道及心腦血管不適，這也是為甚麼腦血管症狀多出現在天氣轉冷之時。
背﹣多加一件背心為背部保暖，真的覺得很冷時也可在背部貼上暖貼。
背部為陽中之陽，特別易受風邪入侵，所以老人家經常說要為背部保暖是真的有道理。
腰腹﹣天氣冷切勿穿露臍裝，也不妨以搓熱的手掌按摩腹部，有溫脾陽氣的作用。
腰屬於腎之範圍，而腎最懼冷，男士會有可能會出現腎陽虛，而女性則會因宮寒而引起痛經等問題。
How to dress warm
A lot of people say if the bottom of their feet feel cold and their whole body would be cold. There are actually a few spots that are especially prone to cold and should be kept warm even if its not winter. If you keep these locations warm, you can also improve your overall immunity!
Head- when it’s cold, be sure to wear a hat. In the morning, brush your hair until there’s slight feeling of heat in your scalp. Head is the meeting point of yang, and loses heat quicker. When the head is attacked by cold wind, it is easy to get head aches and flues. So be sure to keep your hea worm and appropriately stimulate the scalp to keep qi and blood circulating.
Ears- use scarves and hats to keep your ears warm, and occasionally warm your ears by rubbing them. You can also stimulate the accupoints near the ear. The skin at your ears is especially thin, and especially prone to cold, this is why there are horrific scnese of people losing their ears in extreme cold conditions.
Neck- wear turtle necks and scarves, especially for older people or those with cardiovascular diseases. Neck is where your respiratory and cardiovascular vessels must pass. If it catches cold, you may feel discomfort, and this is why neural vessel issues tend to happen during the winter.
Back- add a layer of vest to keep your back warm. You can even stick on a warm pad when it’s very cold. Back is the core of yang and is especially prone to wind pathogens, so when the elders tell you to keep your back warm, they do have a point.
Waist and abdomen- it is important not to expose your belly button during the winter. Also try to rub your abdomen with your palm to keep your spleen yang qi warm. Your kidneys are located near your waste and the kidneys have the strongest aversion to cold. Men may experience kidney yang deficiency and ladies may have menstural pain if the uterus was exposed to cold.
Feet- when its cold, be sure to wear socks or slippers even in the indoors. You can also soak your feet with hot water before bed time. Your feet is most prone to cold as it is farthest from the heart, when you have poor qi and blood circulation, you will feel cold.
