According to Chinese medicine, after spring, the yang energy in the human body starts to rise, so if you can take advantage of the rising yang energy in spring, the body’s metabolism is vigorous, using scientific methods of health care, fitness and disease prevention throughout the year are very beneficial. Spring is important to nourish the liver According to the five elements of Chinese medicine, spring is wood, which corresponds to the liver. Therefore, spring health care is mainly to protect the liver and regulate the mood, to prevent liver fire, in order to facilitate the growth of Yang Qi. In the spring, the Yang Qi is born, the diet is not only to pay attention to the Yang Qi, but also to the internal organs, so we should eat some spicy and sweet products, and not to eat the taste of acid. Because the sour taste into the liver, with astringent nature, is not conducive to the growth of Yang Qi and liver Qi drainage. “The liver likes to be regulated but not depressed”, according to Chinese medicine, the liver is similar to grass and trees. As grass and trees sprout and grow in spring, the liver is also more active in spring, guiding the qi and blood to move from the inside out and excrete the turbid qi in the body. For example, tomatoes, loquats, hawthorn and other sour foods have astringent properties, which are not conducive to the development of Yang Qi and the draining of Liver Qi, and should not be eaten; while bean sprouts, leeks, green onions, cilantro and other pungent and warm foods have a dispersing effect, which helps to nourish Yang and protect the liver, and is suitable for eating. It is not suitable to eat mutton, dog meat, quail, sea fish, shrimp, crab and other acidic foods. It is advisable to consume sweet and warm products to nourish the spleen. In spring, “liver qi” is strong, which will affect the transport and transformation function of the spleen and stomach, so friends with weak spleen and stomach can eat more yam, jujube and lotus seed porridge in spring to control the excessive liver qi and prevent the aggravation of chronic gastric disease and chronic hepatitis leading to stomach distension and other symptoms. After spring, followed by the Spring Festival, people with poor spleen and stomach must eat a light and moderate diet, especially avoid eating hot foods such as mutton or seafood and other hairy items to avoid recurrence and aggravation of the disease. You can eat more yams, spring bamboo shoots, spinach, dates, leeks and so on. You can also use 30 grams of yam and barley, 75 grams of millet, 15 grams of lotus seeds, and 10 jujubes to make a porridge, which is suitable for most friends with a calm body. In addition, maintaining a good mood is also beneficial to nourish the liver. A gloomy mood or irritability can lead to stagnation of liver qi and blood, while a relaxed mood and a calm mind are conducive to the normal development and regulation of liver qi. Therefore, at the beginning of spring, you may want to go for a walk with your friends on a sunny day, so that you can echo the spring energy of nature. Many people advocate winter tonic, but after the spring tonic should be moderate. The four seasons of the year have the characteristics of “spring, summer, autumn and winter”. People are born in nature, so they should follow the laws of nature. In winter, we should take the right amount of tonic according to our personal constitution, in line with the principle of winter storage. However, in the period after spring, whether it is food or medicine, the amount of tonic should be gradually reduced in order to gradually adapt to the upcoming spring seasonal characteristics of relaxation, promotion, and strip. At the same time, it is also crucial to reduce salt intake, because salty taste into the kidney, eating too much salt is easy to hurt the kidney qi, which is not conducive to the maintenance of Yang qi. Spring cover to prevent wind around the spring, sunny days gradually more, daytime gradually longer, the temperature gradually rise, but not yet completely warm, the temperature is still fluctuating. At this time, we should not rush to take off heavy coats and sweaters, but should properly cover a cover. Especially the frail elderly, children and cold people, should follow the “spring does not reduce clothing, autumn does not wear a hat”. If you prematurely reduce the winter clothes worn for several months, once the temperature drops, the body will have difficulty adapting, resistance will be reduced to a variety of germs to take advantage of the opportunity. Spring is the transition from winter to spring, spring cover is not only to prevent the winter cold, but also to prevent the prevailing wind evil in spring. The “Neijing” has a cloud, ‘wind is the longest of all diseases’, that is, the invasion of wind will lead to various external diseases, such as colds, itchy skin, muscle and joint pain, headaches and various allergies. The purpose of spring cover is not only to prevent discomfort caused by rapid temperature changes, but more importantly, to prevent viral invasion. The climate warms up in early spring, and various bacteria and viruses multiply, and infectious diseases enter the season, so you should pay attention to opening windows and ventilation, and go to less crowded places during the high flu season. Spring is warm and cold, the temperature fluctuates significantly, premature clothing reduction can easily lead to the occurrence of influenza, pneumonia and other respiratory diseases, hypertension, coronary heart disease and other cardiovascular diseases may also aggravate, and even induce a stroke. Weak children are susceptible to diphtheria, whooping cough, scarlet fever, colds and other diseases. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to the “spring cover”. It is not advisable to exercise vigorously to consume Yang Qi. After spring, people should gradually go to bed late and get up early in their living habits. And as the temperature rises, people should gradually increase the time for outdoor activities after spring, which can speed up blood circulation and facilitate the operation of qi and blood. However, since the weather is still cold after the first day of spring, it is more suitable for gentle rhythm sports, such as spring excursions, kite flying, walking, jogging, playing Tai Chi and ball games that are not strenuous. It is important to note that exercise at this time of year should not be strenuous, sweaty and panting, otherwise it may consume Yang Qi, which is not good for health. And because the climate is still dry after spring, it is also necessary to replenish water when exercising. The “Theory of Health” says: “In March, every morning comb your hair one or two hundred times, to sleep at night, with hot soup under a pinch of salt, wash the knee to the foot square to sleep, in order to drain wind poison foot, do not make congestion.” That is, spring morning combing hair, night with light salt water soaking feet, can promote the body’s qi and blood flow, health care and disease prevention. Those who wish to maintain their hair and promote sleep may want to give it a try.
