Brrrrrrr winter is cold this year! 🥶
According to TCM, over the winter we should aim to remain introspective and restful. We want to consolidate our Qi as we prepare ourselves for the burst of energy to be experienced in the spring.
We should aim to maintain an appropriate balance between activity and rest. However, in the Wintertime many people tend to reduce their activity and remain more sedentary. If this is true for your situation then it would also be prudent to reduce the amount of food you eat during this period of time to avoid gaining weight unnecessarily.
Avoid raw foods during the winter as much as possible, as these tend to cool the body. Instead, place emphasis on eating warm foods. Eat warm soups, whole grains, and roasted nuts to help the body stay warm and nourished. The bottom line: rest often, stay warm, and conserve your energy.
