Dingyang Reminds Everyone To Keep Warm at The Beginning of Winter

Lidong is one of the 24 solar terms, indicating the transition of the season from autumn to winter. In traditional Chinese culture, Lidong is the first solar term of winter and also a symbol of the beginning of winter. On the day of the beginning of winter, the sun reaches 225 ° of the ecliptic longitude, and the sun shines directly on the Tropic of Capricorn. This day has the shortest solar radiation of the year, with a day and night duration of exactly 12 hours.

After entering the beginning of winter, the temperature begins to decrease and the chill gradually intensifies. Especially in the morning, evening, and nighttime, the temperature is often low, which can easily make people feel cold. Therefore, we need to strengthen our insulation at this time to prevent the occurrence of diseases such as colds.

Firstly, pay attention to keeping warm, especially for the elderly, children, and those with weaker physical conditions. Clothing should be thick, wear more clothes, wear hats, scarves, gloves and other accessories when going out, and try to avoid exposure to cold air. Keep warm indoors and pay attention to ventilation, but do not let the room become too cold.

Secondly, pay attention to dietary regulation. During the beginning of winter, it is advisable to eat more foods that have a warming effect, such as ginger, red dates, longan, etc., to help keep the body warm. At the same time, drinking more hot water and warm soup is also a good choice, which can effectively increase the body’s heat.

In addition, it is necessary to strengthen exercise. Proper exercise can help enhance physical fitness and improve resistance. Choose some winter sports such as indoor fitness, jogging, swimming, etc., which can exercise the body in a warm environment and improve immunity.

Additionally, it is important to maintain good sleep habits. To ensure sufficient sleep time, taking a hot bath before bedtime can help relax the body and mind, and aid in falling asleep. At the same time, it is important to avoid staying up late and overworking, and maintain a balance between body and mind.
