Winter advances ... Strengthen the kidneys with the "Water Walk"

The great "classic" of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Nei Jing Su Wen, in his seasonal tips says

" Three months of winter are called: close and treasured, the water freezes, the earth cracks, and no stimulus is more from Yang. We went to bed early, getting up late, we call for all the sunshine. This exercise will like, buried, as hidden as addressed only to himself, as occupied to possess. It escapes the cold, the heat is real, not letting anything slip through the layers of the skin, for fear of being dangerously HOLDING their breaths. So we shall comply with gusts of winter, hoarding away for the maintenance of life. Would go against kidney damage, resulting in the spring, disability ebbs and for inadequate intakes influence Vitale. " (C. Larre - ER De La Vallée -" Huangdi Neijing Suwen - simple questions of the Yellow Emperor "- published by Jaca Book). Influence the Food

Vitale or feed the "life principle", YANG SHENG (养生), is to say what you feed your life (SHENG-生) of an individual and his body. The techniques of "Nourishing the Vital Principle" allows the QI (气), the stream of life or breath of life, to spread throughout the body. Feeding the IQ means to stimulate, repair and regenerate the whole organism.

Movement winter, as we read from the Nei Jing, is the hoarding of the merger to close in order to preserve, in deep drawing, principles of life.
