　　Beginning of winter health supplements

　　From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine and health care, the beginning of winter is indeed a good time to take supplements. Because after entering winter, the human body's metabolism slows down and consumption is relatively reduced. Winter supplementation can store the energy converted from nutrients in the body, thereby strengthening the foundation and enhancing resistance.

　　Food supplements are the top priority. "Nei Jing" says "nourishing yin in autumn and winter", but the climate in the north is dry in winter and often windy. Therefore, nourishing yin essence is an important part of winter health care. It is best to eat more foods that can replenish yin fluid, such as cabbage, white fungus, fungus, wolfberry, pear, kiwi fruit, etc. It is better to eat less spicy, thick, barbecued and fried food, and drink more water at ordinary times to avoid getting angry.

　　The diet should be mainly warm and hot, such as glutinous rice, dog meat, mutton, dates, longan, sesame, leeks, etc., and eat less cold drinks, seafood and other cold foods. You can eat more nut foods, such as walnuts, hazelnuts, pine nuts, chestnuts, etc. When making porridge and soup, you can add some Adenophora, astragalus, and Ophiopogon japonicus, but the amount does not need to be large, because after all, it is a dietary supplement rather than a medicinal supplement.
