CHANGE IS UPON US - -
In Chinese medicine, there are ways we can optimize some of our everyday habits to keep our bodies balanced during this big seasonal change.
WEAR SOCKS - The feet are a very vulnerable area in Chinese medical theory. Cold feet can drain the body’s energy and can obstruct the body’s flow of Blood (nutrition) and Qi (vital energy). For health purposes, socks and sandals take a win this time of year.
PROTECT THE BACK OF YOUR NECK - The nape of your neck is another crucial area to protect. This is especially important after exercising, when your pores are open as you are more susceptible to a wind invasion (catching a cold). This is also applicable when it comes to working out outside or going to bed with wet hair.
EAT WARM FOODS- Increasing consumption of cooked stews, warm soups and everything pumpkin spice when it is cold outside can improve your digestion while strengthening and nourishing the body.
