　　In the "Suwen·Four Qi Adjusting the Spirit" of Chinese Medicine, it is written about how people can maintain health in winter: "In March of winter, this is called closed storage, with water and ice on the ground, without disturbing the Yang. Go to bed early and get up late. You must wait for the sun, so that your will is as if it is concealed, if you have selfish intentions, if you have gained it, you will be warm after getting rid of the cold, and there will be no leakage. skin , causing the Qi to be seized urgently, this response to the winter Qi is also the way to nourish and store it. Otherwise, it will damage the kidneys..." "During the three months of winter, the human body must adapt to the cold and dry climate, avoid the cold from damaging the Yang Qi, prevent the Yang Qi from leaking, and try to keep the Yang Qi dense and the essence contained," explained Director Zhang Qiulin.

　　To do this, you must go to bed early and get up late, and wait until the sun rises before getting up and moving, so that the emotional essence can be latent and hidden, and you should avoid cold and keep warm to prevent the Yang Qi from leaking from the skin and depleting the essence. These are ways to adapt to the cold and dry climate in winter, cultivate the body and mind, and store the essence. Director Zhang Qiulin emphasized that if these are violated, it will damage the kidneys. "Suwen·Liujie Zangxiang Lun Chapter" "The kidney is responsible for stinging, the foundation of sealing, and the place where the essence... passes through the winter qi. ”It is further clarified that the main function of the kidneys is to hibernate, store essence, and store Yuan Yin and Yuan Yang, just like everything in winter hibernates and stores inside without leaking out. The essence stored in the kidneys includes innate essence and acquired essence. Innate essence comes from parents, while acquired essence comes from the essence of water and grain absorbed in the diet. Therefore, in order to make the kidney essence sufficient, in addition to the innate essence, acquired nourishment is also crucial.

　　To sum up, Director Zhang Qiulin pointed out: “Winter is the season when all things in nature hibernate and store, and the kidneys are the main organs of the human body that hibernate and store. Winter is cold and dry, and Yang Qi converges. The kidneys store Yuan Yin, Yuan Yang, and essence. This is enough to show that winter is the best time to nourish the kidneys, and it also determines how people should maintain their health and nourish the kidneys in winter. In addition to paying attention to keeping warm from the cold in life and work, and not overworking and depleting Yang Qi, you can also pay attention to dispersing cold and warming Yang, nourishing kidneys and replenishing essence in diet, so as to protect the body's Yuan Yin and Yuan Yang, so that the essence and Qi are sufficient and the body strong. ”

　　Regarding how to replenish the kidneys in winter, Director Zhang Qiulin finally explained: “In addition to the general principles, we must also pay more attention to individual differences, because everyone’s body constitution is different, some are more yin-deficient, and others may be more yang-deficient. If a person with yin-deficiency takes a lot of warming and nourishing dryness and heat products even in winter, it will further damage the kidney yin and essence.； For those with yang deficiency, although they can eat warm and tonic foods, they must also take into account the nourishing of yin and the production of essence. They must not take large amounts of warm and dry foods without scruples, such as velvet antler. An ancient saying goes: Those who are good at nourishing Yang must seek Yang from Yin; those who are good at nourishing Yin must seek Yin from Yang. That is to say, when replenishing yang, we must take into account the nourishing of yin, and when nourishing yin, we must also warm yang. Therefore, for the body’s basic healthy For people who prefer to take supplements in winter, it is better to take supplements under the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine experts. For example, many young people tend to have phlegm-dampness or damp-heat constitution. If they take supplements blindly, it may aggravate the damp-heat evil and cause harm to them. ”
