Winter Health Problem: Winter season is going on, it is important to take proper care of health in this season. After December, there is more complaint of cold in the month of January because the temperature is at its peak in this month. There is an outbreak of cold wave only in the month of January, hence it is important for children as well as the elderly to stay away from it.
There is very little sunlight and usually this period is 14 days, which is also mentioned in the Ashtanga Hridaya of Ayurveda. At this time it is very important to protect yourself from cold. It is good if you take proper care of the first 14 days of January.
Here according to the Hindu calendar, it is said that this time is from the end of Paush and the beginning to the middle of Magh. If we talk about the behavior at this time, the power of the Sun gets weakened in this season and the body’s immunity gets affected. These 14 days are also very important from the health point of view, because the digestive power works twice as fast. It is believed that nutritious food eaten in 14 days gives energy throughout the year, but along with this, Vata dosha in the body also increases rapidly, due to which the problem of body ache and joint pain increases. In such a situation, it is important to take special care of yourself to protect yourself from cold.
You should eat a balanced diet for 14 days. Be sure to eat such foods which are hot in nature. In this, consume ghee, sesame oil, moong dal, urad dal, wheat, millet, jowar, jaggery, sesame and peanuts for 14 days. These not only keep the body warm but also provide strength. It is important to have proper eating habits.
