【#24節氣 – 大雪】是日大雪
大雪節氣,象徵隆冬時節正式開始!天文台也預告天氣下星期會進一步寒冷及乾燥,大家要注意保暖,尤其幼童、老人家及抗病力較弱的人。
除了添加厚衣,別忘了雙手雙腳,睡覺時可穿對鬆身厚棉襪,即使半夜都不怕失溫。要保護陽氣最重要就是忍一忍口,少吃生冷寒涼的飲品及食物或間中可以去曬曬太陽及浸足浴。
大雪時節適宜以飲食來調補禦寒,烹調的時候可適量以洋蔥、薑、蔥、辣椒等屬性偏熱的調味品。暖胃驅寒除了薑茶或加添了肉桂的飲品也可以飲用炒米水;另外配以黑豆、黑芝麻的夕米水及加入紅豆的米水也有助養腎,寧心安神,很適合寒冷的天氣飲用。
溫馨提示:
・每天飲米水,健脾胃強身防流感
・早睡晚起,避免清晨的低溫損耗陽氣
・除了面部,別忘了身體也要補濕塗潤膚乳
・吃火鍋燒烤次數適可宜止,避免上火
・到人多地方宜戴口罩抗病菌
Major snow solar term
Major snow signifies that winter is really here! The observatory has forecasted a drop in temperature next week so it is important, especially for children and elderly to stay warm. Aside to wearing thicker layers, be sure to keep your hands and feet warm. Try to wearing warm socks to sleep. It is also important to protect your yang qi and avoid cold and raw drinks, get some sun, and soak your feet. Try keeping warm through diet too to dispel cold by using onions, ginger, spring onion and chili peppers. Aside from ginger tea or drinks with cinnamon, you can have fried rice water, or dusk rice water (with black soya beans and black sesame), or red bean rice water which are all suitable for the cold weather.
Gentle reminder
– have rice water daily to strengthen your body and prevent from flu
– sleep early and wake up late and avoid burning through your yang qi
