Rain is the 2nd of the 24 solar terms. Every year around February 19, when the sun’s yellow longitude reaches 330 degrees, rain is the rain of the 24 solar terms. Rainwater stomach is in the middle of the month, spring is wood, wood depending on water, so the east wind thawing, warmth and dispersal for rain. Living, after the rain to pay special attention to the spring cover, this time the climate at first warm and cold, some people are eager to take off the cotton clothes, so there is a “two August messy clothes” said. At this time, the basis of warming or winter cold, so although gradually warming, but the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, should not be too early to wear a single garment, otherwise it is easy to catch a cold or joint lesions. Spring yang qi began to rise, many people are beginning to feel “spring fever”. Changes in the human body and nature, like everything else, in the spring began to be active, the body’s blood circulation accelerated, the body needs more nutrients. If the winter reserves are insufficient, due to the lack of nutritional supply will occur spring sleepiness. If the spring sleepiness, can be adjusted from two aspects. On the one hand, more outdoor exercise, breathe fresh air, replenish the oxygen in the body, “Huangdi Neijing” said: “Spring March, late to bed and early to get up, wearing hair and walking slowly, wide walk in the court.” On the other hand, attention should be paid to strengthening the spleen in order to enhance the body’s ability to absorb the essence of water and grains. “The spleen is the foundation of the latter day, strengthening the spleen can enhance the source of qi and blood biochemistry to nourish the five viscera, six bowels, limbs and bones.” The general principle of diet is to have less acid and more sweetness to strengthen the spleen and suppress the liver. Sour has astringent effect, which is not conducive to the rise of yang qi in the body. Sweet food refers to the sweet flavor, such as honey, jujube and so on. Moreover, spring is windy and the climate is warming up, so pay attention to replenish water to avoid dryness of the mouth, nose and skin. Eat less fatty and greasy food. Foods to eat before and after the rain: vegetables, leeks, parsnips, spinach, lilies, yams; fruits, oranges, apples; drinks, honey, milk, plain water. Chinese medicine believes that the liver is the main source of growth and development, so the liver qi is vigorous in spring, and the liver wood is prone to attack the spleen and earth, so improper health care in spring is prone to damage the spleen, which leads to a decline in the function of the spleen and stomach. After the rainy season, with the increase in rainfall, cold and dampness are most likely to trap the spleen. At the same time, dampness is difficult to remove, so before and after the rain, you should focus on maintaining the spleen. The focus of the spleen in spring is first of all to regulate the liver, to keep the liver qi and smooth, in the diet to maintain a balanced, food protein, carbohydrates, fat, vitamins, minerals and so on to maintain the appropriate proportion. At the same time, we also need to keep the five flavors are not biased, as little as possible to eat spicy food, eat more fresh vegetables, and so on. Secondly, pay attention to strengthen the spleen and promote dampness. Internal to maintain the spleen qi, external to clear the dampness, so as to achieve the purpose of spleen. Spring cold, dampness is generally clamped “cold”, so before and after the rain must pay attention to keep warm, do not get cold. At the same time, eat less cold things, in order to protect the spleen and stomach Yang Qi. Usually can eat more such as carp, carrots, yam, millet and other food, in order to achieve the purpose of strengthening the spleen. Rainy season, but also to prevent “spring cold”. This is because the early spring rainfall will cause a sudden drop in temperature, which is particularly threatening to the health of the elderly and children, especially the sudden drop in temperature, the elderly blood pressure will rise significantly, easy to induce heart disease, myocardial infarction, etc.; children are prone to respiratory diseases due to the change in temperature, resulting in colds and fevers. So here is another reminder to pay attention to keep warm in the spring, do not reduce clothing too early.
