Three things you must not hold back on in autumn and winter health preservation

Don’t hold back on health preservation in winter, especially the following three things, otherwise the impact on your body will be really harmful.

Holding back urine

The climate is cold in winter, and some people hold their urine or feces for a long time because they are afraid of the cold. However, they do not know that holding back urine or feces is very harmful to the body and can cause many diseases. Holding urine for a long time will cause more and more urine to accumulate in the bladder. If the urine containing bacteria and toxic substances cannot be discharged in time, it will easily cause diseases such as cystitis, urethritis, urinary pain, hematuria or enuresis. In severe cases, urinary tract infection can spread upward to the kidneys, causing pyelonephritis, and even affecting kidney function. Studies have shown that people who often hold urine have a significantly increased incidence of prostate diseases and bladder cancer.

If stool is not discharged in time, water will be repeatedly absorbed by the intestines, causing the stool to be dry and difficult to pass. If toxins in the stool accumulate in the body for too long, the harmful substances will be absorbed by the intestines, causing symptoms such as mental depression, dizziness, fatigue, and loss of appetite. In addition, if this continues for a long time, the flora environment in the intestine may be destroyed, leading to a series of anorectal diseases such as constipation, anal fissures, hemorrhoids, and in severe cases, even intestinal cancer.

Holding back semen

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the key to health preservation in winter is to "hibernate", so some people one-sidedly believe that you should not have sex in winter, or even if you have sex, you should not ejaculate. In fact, this practice is very harmful to the body. If semen accumulates in the seminal vesicle for a long time and is not discharged normally, the testicles will be under "high pressure" for a long time, which may cause the loss of spermatogenesis and gradually lead to testicular atrophy, loss of sexual function, and physical discomfort. In addition, if semen is held back for a long time during sexual intercourse, it can also lead to diseases such as chronic prostatitis. Therefore, no matter what the circumstances, as a necessary physiological process for the human body, it should never be forced deliberately. It is best to let nature take its course.

Stay at home

In the cold winter, many people like to stay at home, especially the elderly with poor physical resistance. There is less sunlight in winter, and the human body's biological clock cannot adapt to the shorter daylight hours. Coupled with being stuck at home for too long, this can lead to physiological rhythm disorders and endocrine disorders, making people irritable, depressed, easily fatigued, with declining energy and distraction. Staying at home for a long time can easily lead to a decrease in immunity, making you more likely to get sick. Therefore, do not stay at home for a long time in winter. Instead, go outdoors often to places with fresh air and spacious venues, such as taking a walk, running, practicing Tai Chi, or doing aerobics, which will help to boost your mood and relieve depression.
