【#24節氣-大寒】是日大寒
今天是大寒,也是二十四氣節中最後一個節氣。根據傳統,大寒時分氣溫是最寒冷的,雖然天氣不似預期,今天未算很寒冷,可是大家也要保重身體,尤其是本身屬陽虛或體虛的朋友更要時刻要做好保暖功夫,不要輕視天氣的轉變啊!(天文台預測下星期三開始天氣會更冷!)一年四季也要健脾胃,濕熱、陰虛體質人士就不宜過度溫補。天氣寒冷會影響血液循環,睡前不妨浸個熱水浴,浸完後就可暖笠笠地睡覺去!任何體質人士也要養成每天喝米水的習慣,持之以恆就會達到健脾胃的功效。脾胃好自然能吸收營養,身體就強壯,即使天氣變得多冷,病魔也不容易侵襲!
溫馨提示:
1. 閒時不妨飲一杯山楂茶,活血消脂又不怕長胖!
2. 一班朋友最佳的聚會活動當然是打邊爐,既暖身又易準備!
3. 出門前除謹記帶一頂帽子,擋風保暖又有型!
Great Cold Solar Term
Today is marks the last solar term of the year, great cold. Traditionally, this is also the coldest time of the year. Although today doesn’t feel that cold, those with yang deficient or asthenic body types should be sure to stay warm and don’t underestimate the cold! (The observatory is also predicting that it will cool down again next Wednesday.) It is important to strengthen the spleen throughout all seasons, those with yin deficient body types should not overly replenish. The cold may affect blood circulation and you can take a warm bath before bed time. People of all body types should have a daily cup of rice water to strengthen the spleen. Having a healthy stomach and spleen lead to healthy absorption of nutrients. With a healthy body, you would be less prone to any pathogens that may come with the cold!
Gentle reminders:
1. Try having a cup of chinese Hawthorne tea to aid fat burn!
2. Having hot pot during gatherings with friends- it’s warming and simple.
3. Bring a hat with you when going out to keep warm and stay in style.
