Spring regimen
Spring is the season of growth and rebirth. At this time, the hail melts, the spring breeze warms, the yang in nature begins to rise, and everything is thriving. People correspond to heaven and earth? At this time, the yang of human body also conforms to nature and diverges upward and outward. Therefore, in spring, we must master the comfortable characteristics of qi movement in spring, and pay attention to protecting the yang in the body to make it constantly abundant and gradually vigorous, so as to avoid damaging the yang and preventing it from happening. This is the basic principle of spring health preservation. Specifically, we should pay attention to the following aspects:
First, we must keep warm and cold. Spring is the transitional season of cold winter and hot summer, and it is at the turning point of retreat from yin to yang and change from cold to heat. At this time, the yang is gradually flourishing, but the yin and cold are not exhausted. Due to the activity of cold air, the climate is changeable and the temperature difference is great. So? Spring cover? Namely. Aren't you busy reducing clothes in spring? It is a good self-care method to meet the needs of hair growth and prevent diseases. On the one hand, it should be loose and stretched, on the other hand, it should be soft and warm. Old and infirm people should pay special attention to keep warm. Be careful, okay? Does the cold spell hurt people? It is best to keep the room temperature above 15℃, and cover it with a thick quilt when sleeping to avoid sweating.
Second, we should go to bed late and get up early. The temperature rises in spring, and the spring breeze blows gently, which makes people's skin relax gradually, strengthen the function of circulatory system, increase the blood supply to skin endings, increase the secretion of sweat glands, and increase the load of various organs, which has a sedative and hypnotic effect on the central nervous system and makes people sleepy. People call it? Spring sleep? . Overcome? Spring sleep? The best way is to follow the law of natural changes of the human body and the principle of keeping in good health in spring: go to bed late and get up early to ensure a certain amount of activity time. Get up in the morning, unbutton your buttons, relax, take a walk in the courtyard, breathe fresh air, and make your mind and gas field endless.
Third, be careful to avoid wind evil. Wind is the beginning of all diseases. ? It means that the occurrence of many diseases is often related to wind evil. The key to keeping in good health in spring is to avoid the wind. Modern medicine also attaches great importance to the relationship between airflow (wind) and health, because the change of airflow can affect people's breathing, energy consumption, metabolism and mental state. Moderate airflow makes the air clean and fresh, which is beneficial to health, while abnormal airflow is harmful to human health. Due to the windy effect in spring, the heat exchange between air and skin is intensified, so that the body loses too much heat, which leads to the decline of people's disease resistance. Therefore, we must pay attention to wind and evil spirits in spring.
Fourth, the spirit should be cheerful, and the spirit should be adjusted in spring to conform to the characteristics of all things in nature in spring. Make it ambitious. ? In other words, by adjusting modality, the yang in the body can be dispersed and kept in harmony with the external environment. Spring should be in the liver, anger in the heart, and a little stimulation will show irritability. Therefore, in spiritual cultivation, we should be open-minded and optimistic, and avoid anger when things happen. ? Angry? It is the leader of emotional diseases, which is extremely harmful to human health, because being angry not only hurts the liver, but also hurts the heart, stomach and brain, leading to various diseases, so being angry is the most taboo emotion for all people.
5. Be diligent in exercise. Spring is the best season for exercise. The spring is bright, the air is fresh, the warm wind is blowing gently, and everything is blooming. This kind of environment is conducive to the human body to vomit the old and absorb the new, and promote the circulation of qi and blood. Because of the cold winter, people mostly move indoors and rarely move outdoors, so the functions of the thermoregulation center and internal organs also decline to varying degrees. When muscles and ligaments are inactive for a long time, they will be more atrophied and unable to contract. After entering the spring, you should choose suitable outdoor activities according to your physical condition, such as walking, traveling, practicing Qigong and fishing. These outdoor activities can make you fully enjoy the negative ions floating in the air, which is beneficial to the growth and development of bones.
Sixth, people should not only pay attention to the beauty care in spring from the perspective of health, but also the beauty problem can not be ignored. Outdoor activities have increased because of the warmer weather. Dermatologists believe that sunlight, air and environmental climate will cause changes in skin visibility. In order to avoid skin aging, try not to be exposed to the sun for a long time in spring. Outdoor activities should first apply sunscreen and emollient, and pay attention to hydration. Water is a beauty product, so you must drink more water in spring. The way to drink water is: drink water on an empty stomach or before meals in the morning, but don't drink water before going to bed, so as not to cause eyelid edema and then develop into bags under the eyes. Mineral water and fresh fruit juice are the best drinking water, and light tea is also a good drink.
Seven, disease prevention and health care in spring, the climate is warming, and pathogenic microorganisms, bacteria, viruses, etc. are increasing. It will grow and reproduce, and it is prone to the occurrence and prevalence of infectious diseases such as influenza, pneumonia, meningitis and viral hepatitis. Because of the cold and dry climate in early spring, it will directly affect the defense function of respiratory mucosa, and the disease resistance of the whole body will also decline, and some pathogenic substances will take advantage of it to get sick. Therefore, we must pay attention to disease prevention and health care in spring.
Summer regimen
In the four seasons of the year, summer is the season with the most abundant yang, and the climate is hot and full of vitality. For people, this is a period of vigorous metabolism. The yang of the human body is outside and the yin is inside, and the blood circulation is correspondingly vigorous and active on the body surface. Therefore, we should pay attention to protecting the human body's yang in summer to prevent it from being hurt by excessive greed in summer. This is the so-called? Spring, summer and sunshine? . Specifically, we should pay attention to the following aspects:
First of all, we should go to bed late and get up early to adapt to the changes in nature. In other words, getting up early every day conforms to the enrichment and exuberance of yang; Stay up late to adapt to yin deficiency. It's sunny in summer. I don't hate long days and hot weather, but I still need to exercise properly to adapt to summer. Raise a dragon? Qi, getting up early in the morning to receive sunshine and fresh air is good for your health. Because I go to bed late and get up early in summer, I don't get enough sleep. Especially the elderly, with the characteristics of false sleep and easy to wake up, are more likely to feel tired. Therefore, taking a nap in summer is an important health and fitness method, which can not only make up for the lack of sleep at night, but also meet the maintenance needs of human physiological characteristics. The nap time is generally 1 hour, so pay attention to your sleeping position. You can lie on your back or side, cover your abdomen with a towel to avoid catching cold in your stomach and abdomen. Although the nap is short, it is beneficial to make up the necessary sleep time, make the body have a full rest, restore nerve function, enhance physical strength, eliminate fatigue, enhance the body's protective function, and work more effectively.
Second, heatstroke prevention and cooling in midsummer, the weather is hot. In order to reduce fever and relieve summer heat, it is very necessary to take appropriate heatstroke prevention and cooling measures. However, if you are too cold, staying in an air-conditioned room for a long time, or keeping an electric fan, or sleeping out all night, is very harmful to your health. Due to the summer heat steaming outside, the human body sweats more, and the blood vessels in the epidermis of the whole body dilate and are suddenly blown by the cool wind, which often causes the blood vessels to contract and sweat to stop immediately, leading to the imbalance of heat production and heat dissipation in the body, leading to the occurrence of diseases. The indoor and outdoor temperature difference is not easy to be too large, preferably not more than 5℃, and the indoor temperature should not be lower than 25℃.
Third, we should protect ourselves from the sun. In hot summer, strong sunlight will have a series of adverse effects on human body. Ultraviolet rays in the sun will not only make the skin tan, but also cause cataracts, sunburn and skin cancer. In addition, long-term exposure to the scorching sun, the body's temperature regulation is out of balance, so that the body stores a lot of heat, and the disorder of water and salt metabolism is also prone to heatstroke. Therefore, you should wear a sun hat and sunglasses when you go out in summer to reduce the damage of ultraviolet rays to your skin and eyes. Because of the hot climate in summer, people are prone to sweat. Pay attention to the choice of skin care products, such as sunscreen, cream, honey fat, etc., which can eliminate the worry of premature aging of the skin. Toilet water, talcum powder, prickly heat powder and perfume can not only protect skin, but also refresh the mind and give people fragrance and beauty.
Fourth, be cheerful in spirit. What does Chinese medicine think? Will it be shown in summer? That is to say, in summer, you should be energetic, full and extroverted, because only when you are full of qi will your body function be vigorous and coordinated, so that the qi in your body can be vented smoothly and freely, and your emotions will be outward, showing a strong interest in foreign things. Do it. Hua Ying Cheng Xiu? In other words, Huaying's spirit adapts to the summer atmosphere and makes it beautiful. Don't be angry, let the yang in your body vent. So the spirit of summer should conform to nature? Grow up? Regularity, take the initiative to adjust mood, maintain a quiet and happy mood, calm mind, broad-minded, and maintain mentality.
Fifth, we must combine static and dynamic. In summer, the human body consumes a lot. Exercise should be combined with activity and static. You can choose swimming, fishing, walking, slow satiety and so on. But the amount of exercise should be moderate and not too tired. And it is not suitable for sports in hot sun or high temperature environment. When the weather is cool, it is best to do outdoor sports in the early morning or evening. It is best to wear loose, comfortable, sweat-absorbent and breathable cotton fabric when exercising, which is convenient for the body to dissipate heat. Traveling in summer, especially in the seaside and mountainous areas, can not only make people feel relaxed and happy, but also achieve the purpose of recuperation, exercise and health promotion.
Sixth, we should eat healthily. In summer, human metabolism is enhanced and nutrition consumption is increased. At the same time, people's loss of appetite and poor digestion and absorption ability in summer will lead to nutritional metabolism disorder in the body and even cause corresponding malnutrition and other diseases. Therefore, the summer diet should be supplemented with enough protein, vitamins, water and inorganic salts to meet the needs of the body. At the same time, we should eat more foods that can clear away heat and promote diuresis, such as watermelon, bitter gourd, peach, dark plum, grass mold, tomato, cucumber and mung bean. But the fruits and vegetables born in summer must be cleaned to prevent intestinal infectious diseases. Fish, eggs, meat and other foods should be preserved and preserved. Tableware and cookware, such as chopping boards, should be used raw and cooked separately, and should not be mixed, and disinfection should be paid attention to. If possible, you can eat more garlic. Garlic can sterilize and help digestion, stimulate appetite, and season to relieve summer heat. In short, we should pay attention to food hygiene.
Seven, cure winter disease in summer? Winter disease? Refers to some diseases that are easy to attack or worsen in winter, such as bronchitis, asthma, rheumatoid arthritis and so on. In summer, all these diseases were relieved. Take advantage of its remission season, treat it according to syndrome differentiation, and take some oral and external prescriptions appropriately to prevent the recurrence of old diseases in winter or alleviate their symptoms. This is a unique treatment method of traditional Chinese medicine, that is, taking advantage of the trend can often get twice the result with half the effort.
