传承年俗别忘护好身体，中医医生：科学养生平安过年

Core Viewpoint - The article emphasizes the importance of adjusting diet and activities during the holiday season based on individual health conditions, as advised by Dr. Wang Jiandong from Xuanwu Hospital's Traditional Chinese Medicine Department [1] Dietary Recommendations - Dumplings symbolize reunion during the New Year, but the filling should be tailored to individual health needs. For those with high stomach fire or blood sugar, a bitter melon and egg filling is recommended to help clear stomach fire and lower blood sugar. For individuals with insufficient yang energy who are sensitive to cold, lamb or shrimp and chive fillings are suggested to warm the body [1] - During the holiday, it is important to choose snacks wisely. Fried cakes and rice cakes, which are sticky and hard to digest, should be avoided by those with weak spleens and excessive phlegm [1] Activity Guidelines - Dr. Wang advises that middle-aged individuals (over 45 years old), especially those with hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, or menopausal women, should avoid staying up all night and aim to sleep before 11 PM. Young individuals with balanced health may occasionally stay up but should not make it a habit [1] - For older adults, holiday activities should be moderate, with a recommended daily walking distance of 6,000 to 8,000 steps. It is also advised to wear soft, non-slip shoes to prevent falls and protect the knees [1]
