According to traditional Chinese medicine, the liver and gallbladder meridians in the body are active in spring, and if the liver is properly nourished at this time, the immune system can be strengthened and the body can be maintained in the best condition. The “liver” in Chinese medicine includes the liver and the neuroendocrine system, the eyes, etc. The liver must be regulated not only in diet and life, but most importantly, to maintain a cheerful mood. 1, keep cheerful more smiles Try to keep your spirits happy, especially to avoid anger. Scientific research has found that happiness can increase liver blood flow and activate liver cells. And anger not only hurts the liver, but also the most taboo emotion of ancient health practitioners: “anger a hair, then the gas is reversed and not smooth.” People who are tempted to lose their temper are classified in Chinese medicine as “rising liver fire”, meaning that there is a problem with the autonomic nerves under the jurisdiction of the liver, and the liver fire is usually quenched with gentian diarrhea soup. Anger can also be eliminated by venting and shifting, keeping the spirit happy. New scientific research shows that if you often look back on something fun and interesting, it will also increase the secretion of endorphins in the brain, making you physically and mentally happy. 2, pay proper attention to diet Spring liver energy is strong, relatively affect the digestion and absorption function of the spleen and stomach, so the diet is still light. Green vegetables are the best spring food. Vegetables contain vitamins and trace elements, which happen to be supplemented by the lack of winter intake. For example, spinach produced in spring is tender and tasty, and also has the effect of nourishing blood, which is a good choice. Spring does not need special tonic, because the temperature rises, warm tonic but will aggravate the internal heat of the body. For those who have a poor constitution, you can generally use calming foods such as lotus seeds, gravy, barley, peanuts, walnuts, bird’s nest and pig’s liver. The polysaccharide component of silver fungus also has anti-inflammatory effects and can promote liver protein synthesis. Usually, asthma and allergies are caused by the phenomenon of “qi deficiency” in Chinese medicine. 3, pay attention to warmth Although the weather is warming up, it is still important to keep warm. Spring is a time of great climate change and sunshine, which often makes people ignore the fickleness and coldness of early spring. Therefore, it is best to slowly reduce clothing, do not change at once on the summer short-sleeved shorts, cold evil injury to the lungs, easy to lead to nasal congestion, coughs, colds, etc., especially the elderly do not rush to reduce wearing clothes. 4, moderate exercise winter human metabolism slowed down, Yang Qi decline, the spring warmth of flowers, just when you can replenish the body’s Yang Qi. The early morning exercise, stretching and activating the muscles is also one of the ways to protect the liver. Practicing qigong can ease the nerve muscles and balance the autonomic nervous system. Try the simplest method of breathing regulation: sit or stand quietly, focus on breathing regulation, and slowly, little by little, breathe in and out through the nose and repeat several times. Simple deep breathing can remove the heat from your body and allow your body to regain energy. 5.Experience a new feeling of spring Travel is a way to find three or five friends to take a trip to the countryside, so that the spiritual senses, which have been resting for a long time, can be revived in the natural environment. In rural America, it is customary to gather fresh lemons in the spring and make a large pot of honey lemonade as a purifying drink for the body. The flavonoids in lemons can help the body slow down allergic reactions and prevent viral invasion. You can also buy a handful of sweet-smelling daffodils and hyacinths to take home and bring the message of spring indoors.
