Traditional Chinese medicine believes that winter is the season of collecting everything, and at this time, the human body needs to supplement more calories. And heat comes from nutrition, and winter tonic is to supplement nutrients to supplement heat and resist the cold. But one thing must be noted: winter tonic is not only a tonic, but also a treatment, so it is necessary to prescribe the right medicine.
our ancestors who paid attention to the harmony between yin and yang told us long ago that winter is the time to "hide the yang". If you hide it well, you can be healthy for the next year.
However, I used to feel that I didn't need tonic at all, and I can definitely make up for it with my appetite that will increase greatly in winter. But suddenly, I feel that the reality is not completely like this-
Look at yourself first: I can't sleep at night, I can't wake up during the day, I feel cold when I go outside, I am panting after a little exercise, my endocrine is extremely abnormal, and there are also problems like backache and blurred eyes ... These grandparents have actually come to me, so it seems imperative to take supplements;
Look at the people around you: before winter comes, there is a long queue of experts preparing ointment and nourishing medicine. Colleagues grab a handful of pills and put them in their mouths every day. The "winter tonic medicine" in the supermarket is out of stock ... It seems that winter tonic is no longer the patent of the elderly, and young people have already become the "army" here. Do young people need extra supplements this winter?
experts suggest that it is very important to tailor
In fact, there are many ways to supplement, and food supplement is one way, so is "prescription" and taking health care products-but no matter which method is adopted, the most important thing is to tailor. According to everyone's different physique, the method of tonic is different. In other words, it is definitely an "individualized" service. What you make up and how much you make up are all related to your physical condition. You must not blindly follow advertisements or other people's suggestions.
How to take it is important
It is very important to take it correctly in order to get the expected effect of winter medicine tonic.
First of all, we don't advocate taking tonic medicine during acute illness. If you have fever, diarrhea, cough and other symptoms, you should adjust it after you are cured or basically relieved. Otherwise, not only will it not play a good role in tonifying, but it will complicate the condition.
In addition, you should use less greasy, seafood and spicy food during taking, and at the same time try to quit smoking, limit alcohol and drink light tea. If you take ointment, because it does not contain preservatives, and the climate in Shanghai is warmer, it will be moldy if you are not careful. So be sure to put the medicine in the refrigerator or in a cool and dry place.
Investigation case
Cook a bowl of porridge to be kind to yourself. Ye Zinv is 33 years old. Corporate finance
My mother-in-law cooks a pot of porridge for the whole family overnight every day-in cold winter, holding a bowl of hot porridge in her hand will warm up her mood. So I always believe that 1% natural food supplement is the most effective. Mother-in-law pays the most attention to raw materials when cooking porridge in winter, and often puts some Chinese herbal medicines in it. In fact, Chinese medicine is not necessarily bitter, and many Chinese medicines taste good-such as red dates, lotus seeds, rice kernels, and walnut meat, etc., which can all play a health care role.
It's hard to tell, and the cream can relieve Ada's 23-year-old college student
It's embarrassing. I've always had a "hard to tell", that is constipation. Every week, it seems like a huge project. For this reason, I tried every means. I tried the method of adding bananas to yogurt, and even used laxatives when I had to, but the situation still didn't get better, and it got worse every winter.
Two years ago, I went to see a Chinese doctor occasionally, and the doctor prescribed a dose of ointment for me, which specially added a lot of medicinal materials to strengthen the spleen and dredge the bowels. After only eating for two weeks, the "problem" has been greatly alleviated. From this, I especially believe in ointment and medicine. Every year in late autumn, I will inevitably bring the whole family to "see a doctor" to ensure that everyone has a dose.
IT's delicious. Andrew is a 34-year-old IT engineer.
I remember that last winter, I worked overtime until late at night. Not only was my eyes dark and I was depressed, but I even grew a lot of white hair.
you can't have white hair before you have a girlfriend! Mom was so anxious that she dragged me to see Chinese medicine anyway. However, when I was a child, I couldn't forget the experience of choking with my nose, so I asked the doctor to make it into ointment. After tasting it, I found that compared with the soup, the taste of the cream is definitely delicious. Needless to say, it's convenient. Without the hard work of boiling medicine, it can be eaten at any time in the refrigerator, unlike the ancients who had to worry about how to preserve it.
Jolin female, 27-year-old HR manager of a foreign company
Every winter, what I fear most is that the meat grows quietly without knowing it. As long as I am not careful, I will add at least one yard to my spring clothes tomorrow. Therefore, what I am most afraid of is the ointment. Not only is it too bitter and troublesome to eat, but when I take a look at the prescription, there are a lot of "fattening" things-walnuts, red dates, rock sugar, etc., and the sugar and calories are too high.
So I'd rather be a "capsule family". I put all the health care drugs I need to take in a small box every day, and just pour them into my mouth. Vitamins A, C, E, plus calcium tablets, I don't take them all year round, and I won't get fat if I take them every day.
my terrible experience David, 37-year-old financial manager of state-owned enterprises
I really had an "unforgettable" experience about winter tonic!
that year, my wife, who never cooks, suddenly had a whim and said that she would make me a drink by herself. I don't know where she got a lot of medicinal materials, buying wine and looking for large glass bottles for two months. Seeing that the color of the wine changed from clear red to black, my wife specially chose Christmas Eve and opened her bottle of tonic wine ... < P > That night, I was taken to the hospital in the middle of the night-I had a high fever for no reason, and I had a lot of itchy red pimples all over my body, and it took a few days to gradually recover. My wife still can't tell what she put in that bottle of wine. I heard that she bought the medicinal materials in a stall. She caught a lot of them and threw them all into the wine!
