Chinese medicine says winter storage, is winter suitable for exercise?
Winter is the season when life lurks and everything hibernates. The water is cold and frozen, and the earth is cracked. Early to bed, late to rise, must wait for the sun; that is to say, winter should be early to bed and late to rise, wait until the sun comes out before moving.Adequate sleep is necessary to replenish yang energy in winter. Do not disturb the yang energy easily, guard against the cold and seek warmth.If you lose yang qi in winter, those who are deficient in yang qi will have to damage the five organs, which will result in a variety of diseases. It is said in the Inner Path that if one does not hide the essence in winter, one will be sick and warm in spring. If people don't know the way of winter nourishment and storage, and the semen is often leaked in winter, then the body will become weaker and weaker. Moreover, you should always drink boiled water to replenish water. The kidney is the master of water, is the master of the body's water metabolism balance, promote the production and excretion of fluid. Fluid metabolism through the spleen and stomach transportation into the essence of the water and grain, in order to transport step into the nourishment of the whole body.
Metabolized water liquefies into sweat, urine and gas, which is excreted from the body. Therefore, it is important to hydrate more in winter to thin the blood, promote blood circulation and prevent the unexpected recurrence of cardiovascular diseases.
In addition, the indoor temperature should be appropriate, not too high, not too low. The temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is too large easy to catch a cold, a cold, a hot, more likely to be the entry of cold, inducing the recurrence of respiratory and cardiovascular diseases.
Finally, when it comes to exercise, in winter, it is best to exercise indoors, or in the morning after the sun comes out at 9 o'clock, sunbathing in order to replenish the lack of yang qi. In winter, people are prone to lack of yang, so the imbalance of yin and yang will be uncomfortable, and even internal organs out of trouble. Spring, summer, fall and winter should be appropriate exercise, but all do not exercise sweaty, especially in winter, do not sweat! Even less too much.

Little Missy Quote: It's already snowing heavily in the north, have you ever tried to breathe outdoors in the flesh?
Breathing is also a very important thing in the practice of yoga. In dynamic practice, the basic principle is to inhale when the body is upward, outward, and expanding, and exhale when the body is downward, inward, contracting, and twisting. In static practice, it's about breathing full out while staying in the asana, and some asanas require the abdomen to contract inward to inhale into the chest, such as twisted asanas and inverted asanas. Come and experience the beauty of yoga with Mimi in your breath.
Peacock asana builds the strength of our arms and gives them a more fluid line. But to maintain this requires great muscle strength, breathing must also be minimized, so this pose usually does not last long, the functioning of the lungs receive restrictions, this level of muscle work, almost can not provide enough oxygen, must be measured. Next it's time for today's Yoga Trunk, come and learn it with Mimi.

Do you want to try the asana that concaves yourself into ninety degrees like this? It allows you to stretch the veins of the legs, have a pair of long legs, no longer a dream; cane into the left leg with both hands, lifted to the position of the root of the ear, all parts of the body to be enough "straight" Oh! This asana should have enough warm-up exercise before doing, otherwise it is easy to appear muscle strain.
This asana because of their bodies out of a bow shape, so it is called "bow style", and its benefits as a bow, between tension and relaxation, so that our bodies become soft up; first prone on the yoga mat, and then let their hands to grab the insteps, so that the body as far as possible to the air traction; everyone in the bow style, be sure to let their spine in a comfortable "squeeze" environment, as soon as there is discomfort, immediately adjust. When you do the bow pose, be sure to let your spine in a comfortable "squeeze" environment, a discomfort, immediately adjust.
One-legged standing one-horse on our body's balance ability is a small challenge, if you want to make this asana perfectly, that a stable core strength is essential; first of all, to stand in the mountain style, and then the upper body leaned forward, the right leg began to lift, to reach the limit of the body's position, to maintain stable breathing can be; if you feel that you can't do it, you can try to rely on the walls and other items to Keep balance.
Head and hand inversion has always been the yoga world's "big shot", because the blood will be inverted because of the body, and nourished to the body's individual organs that were previously neglected, so that they have a short "bath" time, which is more conducive to their subsequent "work"; small dense generally from the downward dog style into, first make the head hand action, and then with legs with the body backwards; this inverted three-dimensional style is not suitable for women in physiological period to do Oh.
Said the head and handstand, next to see the handstand this king of yoga asana, people will choose such a name, not only because it can let our body to get a rest, and more importantly, can let our brain in a state of peace; practice and the head and handstand the same, from the downward dog can start; inverted three-dimensional trick actually lies in a "straight" in the word "straight" to keep their bodies straight can be very perfect to complete this asana.

Finally, Mimi would like to tell you how to breathe during yoga meditation. Just breathe freely during meditation, don't deliberately try to control it, you can practice yoga asana before meditation, and then tone your breath, and then enter meditation. At this time the breath is more full and natural.
Today's topic: it's already snowing heavily in the north, have you ever tried outdoor physical combat? The comment section boldly tells the slave...
To figure this out, you first have to figure out why TCM says winter storage.
The Yellow Emperor's Internal Canon says. In the winter month of March, this is closed.
At the same time, he also said, winter March, to 'go cold on the warm, no leakage of skin, so that the gas urgently take. This winter gas should be, the way to raise Tibetan also; against the injury to the kidney, spring for impotence, Feng Sheng less.'
What does it mean? Translated, it means that in the three months of winter, we should go to the cold and warm, that is to say, we should keep warm, do not get cold, pay attention to keep warm, no diarrhea skin, that is to say, do not let the skin have sweating, excessive dissipation of vital energy, so that the gas leakage.
The three months of winter are about storing up all the energy, and so are the plants and animals in nature.
After this energy is stored, the coming year has the power to provide life-giving growth activity.
This is a process known in Chinese medicine as nourishing Tibet.
If you go against this to hide that life energy, there is not enough storage of vital energy. It will hurt the kidneys, and Chinese medicine says that the kidneys are the master of sealing, that is, sealing one's vital energy into the kidneys.
If this vital energy is not enough, the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine says that spring sickness is impotence and syncope.
What does this mean? It means that when there is insufficient storage of vital energy in the winter, there is no power to provide vital activity, and growth, in the coming year, so it is a state of impotence and weakness.
There are also four seasons in a day, and the night of the day corresponds to the winter of the seasons. Each night of the day is also to be hidden and to be nourished.
Nurturing your length means being still, hiding, and not exercising too much.
If a person, who has stayed up all night, do you see her in good spirits the next day? Definitely is a stumble, mental depression. This is a, winter does not nourish Tibetan spring disease impotence a typical example.
Therefore, according to the principles of Chinese medicine, it is not advisable to exercise in winter. Even less should be strenuous exercise.
By the same token night is not a good time to exercise, nor should it be strenuous.
I'm Two Sheep, follow my headline for more TCM knowledge.
First of all it has to be said that winter sports are not for everyone. Exercise in winter should also be done in moderation. For the human body detoxification channels are defecation, urination, sweating and breathing. Exercise is the most direct way to sweat and breathe. If you don't exercise, you don't sweat and detoxify. Reduce a detoxification channel. Winter sports will sweat more because of more clothes. Pore opening and closing easy to catch a cold. So be moderate. Try to exercise indoors. In Chinese medicine, I personally understand the term "winter storage" as keeping pores closed to maintain body temperature. In winter, I usually walk instead of run.

Chinese medicine emphasizes the unity of heaven and man. Spring birth, summer growth, fall harvest and winter storage are adapted to both nature and man. Spring and summer dominate yang, and fall and winter dominate yin.
Spring latent in the ground under the Yang Qi began to develop, along with Yang Qi everything began to recover, the human body's Yang Qi also began to develop outward, so the spring is the golden time for small children to grow, this time you can do more sports. At this time should avoid sweating, so as not to receive the spring wind evil.
In summer, the body's Yang Qi through the surface, Yin Qi convergence in the inner, this time you can do more exercise, so that the body's cold and damp poison through sweat. The human body outside the heat inside the cold, dietary attention to eat some spicy food, conducive to the elimination of cold in the body.
Autumn yang harvest yin out, after a summer of consumption of the body's energy are almost depleted, this time to avoid large exercise, so as not to add insult to injury.
In winter, yin floats on the surface, trees wither, animals hibernate, and people should also reduce the behavior of dissipating yang energy. Ancient winter can not exercise too much, exercise after the back slightly sweat is appropriate, to maintain the body's yin fluid, you can play tai chi and other soothing exercise programs.
As the saying goes, life lies in movement, only movement can be healthy. However, in winter, exercise should pay attention to the following points, the first in the exercise time do not exercise strenuously, because the winter generally wear more warm, if it is strenuous exercise body will sweat, so wait until after stopping may be cold, easy to catch a cold. The second is not in the winter sports in the morning, the reason is that the winter people's body joints and other relatively stiff in the morning to get up and wear more clothes, if the movement is strenuous will sprain the joints. Third winter sports, be sure to do a good job in advance of the preparatory work, you can wear less clothes, the joints to be fully active, to prevent sprains.
<内经>The four qi and the four spirit: winter and March. This is called closed. The water freezes and the earth chaps. There is no disturbance to the yang. Lie down early and get up late. Must wait for daylight. Make your mind like an ambush, like a hideout. If you have a selfish desire. If you have got it. Go to the cold and warm up. No leakage of skin. The gas is taken away from the skin. This winter gas should be. Nurture the way to hide. Against it will hurt the kidney. Spring for impotence. Feng Sheng less. Those who ask this question are advised to study this article properly.
It is perfectly all right to hide the fruits in winter; they are picked and dehydrated in the fall and sealed in winter for next year's crop. If it is not well hidden, next year's harvest is bound to suffer.
As to whether winter is suitable for exercise, that proposition is simply wrong. Whether or not it is suitable is not in what season, but whether or not you are fit for sport, and what sport. The three kinds of sports are running for herbivores, hunting for carnivores, and slow moving for omnivores. Depends on which category you are.
