Health experts believe that the rise of human yang in spring corresponds to spring.
Bad emotions can easily damage the liver. In spring, people are often emotionally unstable due to sudden climate change, especially elderly diabetics, who are depressed due to hot and cold weather, and their mood changes greatly, such as anger, impatience and even mental disorders, and even induce other complications. Therefore, in spring, we must maintain an optimistic and cheerful mood, have fun according to our hobbies, participate in more group activities and make more friends, so as to adjust our mood and make the liver qi smooth.
Adjusting diet to help Chunyang
In early spring, the yang is rising, so diabetic patients should adjust their diet reasonably, pay attention to food hygiene, eat more light and warm foods, eat more coarse grains and spicy products that help yang, and avoid nourishing foods such as dog meat, ginseng and velvet antler, and avoid eating sour, astringent, cold and greasy foods. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the spring diet should be "sour and sweet to nourish the temper", because eating too much acidic food will make the liver fire excited and damage the spleen and stomach. At this time, you should eat more foods rich in high-quality protein, vitamins and trace elements, such as lean meat, poultry, eggs, fresh vegetables and fruits. In order to nourish yang and astringe yin, nourish liver and protect spleen, and prevent the occurrence of various vitamin deficiencies.
Moderate exercise and aphrodisiac
Movement leads to yang, while quietness leads to yin, so we often go to outdoor activities in spring, such as walking, mountain climbing and spring outing. As the saying goes, "a hundred herbs sprout back, and all diseases are prone to occur." Spring is a good season for onset, especially for elderly patients with diabetes. If you don't pay attention to nursing and take part in sports, it will easily lead to old diseases. However, it is forbidden to sweat a lot during exercise. Excessive sweating will consume blood and damage yang, and patients must do what they can according to their own conditions.
Seek conformity and guard against external evils.
Practice has proved that "spring covering" not only meets the needs of rising yang, but also is a good prescription for disease prevention and health care. When spring is warm and cold, diabetics will not adapt, so don't suddenly reduce your clothes when it is warm. They should increase or decrease according to the weather changes, pay attention to protecting their backs and keep warm at all times. Adapting to the climate and properly "covering" can prevent the invasion of cold pathogens and not induce other complications.
