Many people suffer from insomnia, chest tightness, and irritability when winter and rainy weather arrive. The reduction of sunlight hours is one of the causes of seasonal affective disorder. Under sufficient sunlight, the secretion levels of adrenaline, thyroxine and gonadal hormones in the human body will increase, which will effectively improve negative psychological conditions such as low mood and mental depression.
Enhance immunity
According to traditional Chinese medicine, sunbathing in winter has the effect of replenishing yang energy and replenishing righteousness. In traditional Chinese medicine, there is a saying of “collecting sun essence”, which means collecting sunlight to generate clear yang energy. The normal functions of the internal organs in the human body are all supported by Yang Qi. When Yang Qi is sufficient, the body’s ability to resist disease will be improved.
Develop a good complexion
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that basking in the sun in winter can significantly improve the ability of the gastrointestinal tract to digest, absorb, and convert qi and blood. It can increase the activity of digestive enzymes in the small intestine and pancreas by basking on the back, waist, spine, and spleen. If the spleen and stomach are good, the complexion will be good.
Prevent myopia
Many people don’t know that lack of sunlight in winter is also one of the causes of myopia.

Replenishing Yang and dispelling cold
Traditional Chinese medicine says that “cold starts from the feet.” Elderly people who suffer from cold legs or long-term soreness and weakness in the waist and knees often have yang deficiency. In autumn and winter, their hands and feet often get cold. In this case, you may wish to bask in the legs and feet more often to help drive away the cold in the body. chill. At the same time, combined with massaging the Zusanli point on the calf (located four fingers below the outer knee and on the edge of the tibia), it can also resist aging and prolong life.
Warm the stomach and dispel cold in the uterus
People with spleen and stomach deficiency who often suffer from diarrhea and stomachache can use “solar moxibustion” to regulate their bodies. Facing the sun, while basking in the sun, they repeatedly massage the navel, Zhongwan point (the midpoint between the lower end of the sternum and the navel) and Guanyuan with your hands. This point (3 inches below the navel) has a very good health care effect. This method is also good for women with cold uterus.
Calcium supplement to strengthen bones
Calcium is an essential substance for the human body, and if you want calcium to be absorbed well, vitamin D must be present. 90% of the vitamin D in the human body comes from sunlight. The ultraviolet rays in the sun irradiate the skin to produce vitamin D. Vitamin D can promote the absorption of calcium and phosphorus and help the formation of bones. Therefore, vitamin D is also called the “sunshine vitamin.”
Winter is cold, and many people like to stay in air-conditioned rooms with the warm air blowing on them. However, too much air conditioning is not a good thing. Turning on the air conditioner will make the indoor air abnormally dry, harming people’s body fluids and body fluids, making people feel hot and dry all over, and dryness in their eyes, ears, mouth, nose, throat, skin, etc. The sunshine time in cold winter is shorter and the number of sunny days is less. Therefore, when the warm sun appears, you should go out and bask in the sun to enhance your immunity.
