🌿 Living with the Seasons: WINTER ❄️
In Chinese Medicine, winter is the season of Yin — a time to slow down, reflect, and nourish deeply. Here are 6 essential tips to help you stay balanced and well during the colder months:
1. Nourish the Yin and prioritise sleep 🐶
Winter is linked to the Kidney system and deep rest. Prioritising quality sleep supports your energy reserves and immunity.
2. Limit cold foods and drinks 🥶
Cold, raw foods can weaken digestion and internal warmth. Choose gentle, warming meals to support your Spleen Qi.
3. Eat warm, nourishing foods 🍲
Soups, stews, and congee warm the body and strengthen your digestive system — the foundation of energy and immunity.
4. Keep the body moving 🧘♀️
Gentle movement like Qigong, yoga, or walking helps circulate Qi and blood, preventing stiffness and seasonal sluggishness.
5. Drink warm water and herbal teas ☕
Warm fluids keep your digestion happy, promote circulation, and support hydration without chilling the system.
6. Keep the body warm🧣
Protect your neck, lower back, and feet from the cold to safeguard your Kidney energy — especially important in winter!
