Beginning of spring solar term is the first of the 24 solar terms, and it is the beginning of spring. After beginning of spring, the sun of nature was born. At this time, the yang of the human body also rises and evacuates. The liver of the five internal organs corresponds to beginning of spring's qi, while beginning of spring's liver qi is vigorous, and the digestive function of the spleen and stomach is weakened. At this time, it is necessary to learn more about beginning of spring's health knowledge, conform to the law of rising yang in nature, and protect human yang. So what should beginning of spring pay attention to? How much do you know about protecting the liver?

How does beginning of spring keep fit? Six methods of protecting liver and yang

Protecting the liver is beginning of spring's top priority.

Because spring belongs to wood, corresponding to liver, spring health preservation is mainly to protect liver and regulate mood. Chinese medicine believes that a good mood can not only prevent the liver fire from rushing up, but also contribute to the growth of yang. Therefore, we should try to avoid anger and depression, be open-minded, optimistic and keep a good attitude.

1 Early to bed and early to nourish the liver

Since beginning of spring, nature has been full of vitality and everything is thriving. At this time, people should go to bed early and get up early, go for a walk in the morning and relax themselves so that their emotions will not be violated by spring. This is the way to keep fit for spring. If this method is violated, the liver will be damaged, which is the basis of spring delivery. So in spring, the way to keep fit is to relax and adjust your mood.

Don't cut clothes too early.

As the saying goes, "Spring covers autumn", and winter clothes are worn for several months in winter, so the regulation of heat generation and heat dissipation of human body is in a relatively balanced state with the ambient temperature in winter. From winter to early spring, it is warm and cold. If you take off your winter clothes too early, it will be difficult to adapt once the temperature drops, which will reduce your body's resistance. Bacteria attack the body, which is easy to cause various respiratory diseases and infectious diseases in winter and spring.

3 to prevent the recurrence of old diseases

Beginning of spring is a season of frequent diseases. The frequently-occurring diseases in spring include pneumonia, hepatitis, meningitis, measles, mumps, allergic asthma, myocardial infarction and psychosis. Therefore, patients with hepatitis, allergic asthma and myocardial infarction should pay special attention to aftercare prevention.

Comb your hair a hundred times a day.

Combing your hair every day in spring is a good health care method. Because spring is the season when the natural yang rises, at this time, the yang of the human body also conforms to nature and has the characteristics of rising upward and outward, which is manifested in the gradual expansion of pores, vigorous metabolism and rapid growth. Therefore, combing hair in spring just meets the requirements of health preservation in this spring, and plays an important role in promoting qi circulation, relieving depression, dredging qi and blood, and invigorating yang.

Eat less tonic and salt.

All the year round has the characteristics of "spring life, long summer, autumn harvest and winter storage". Many people advocate winter tonic, but beginning of spring should be moderate in the later period. In winter, according to personal physique, it conforms to the principle of winter storage and health preservation. However, in the period after beginning of spring, the amount of tonic, whether food or medicine, should be gradually reduced to gradually adapt to the seasonal characteristics of comfort, rising and arrival in the coming spring. At the same time, it is also important to reduce salt intake. Eating too much salt is easy to hurt kidney qi, which is not conducive to maintaining Yang Qi.

6 Eat more leeks and coriander.

In spring, Yang was born. In addition to nourishing yang, diet should also give viscera. You should eat some sweet products properly, not sour ones. Because the sour taste is astringent, it is not conducive to the growth of yang and the release of liver qi. Food can choose spicy onion, coriander, peanut, leek, shrimp and so on. Eat less spicy food.

Beginning of spring health tips.

Although beginning of spring represents the coming of spring, the low temperature in winter can't rise immediately. Chinese medicine reminds that it takes at least 18 days-15 days after beginning of spring, and attention should be paid to coverage in spring. Under normal circumstances, it takes at least 10 days-15 days after spring.

During this time, the temperature has changed greatly. If you take off your cotton-padded clothes too early, your head, lower limbs, hands and throat will easily catch cold when the temperature changes, which will lead to diseases such as colds, tracheitis and arthritis.

Of course, "coverage" will vary according to everyone's physique. Old people, children or people with cold constitution can cover them for a few more days, while people with hot constitution can cover them for a few less days. The specific criteria can comprehensively consider the temperature and personal feelings, as follows:

First look at the temperature. Generally speaking, 15 degrees Celsius is a critical value. Below this temperature, it is best to continue to "endure" the inconvenience caused by heavy clothes; When it exceeds this temperature, you can consider taking off some clothes.

Second, by feeling. Everyone's physique is different, and their tolerance to cold and heat is also different. If you don't feel hot and sweaty when covering your face, even if the temperature is slightly higher than 15 degrees Celsius, you don't have to take off your clothes in a hurry. If you feel that you will sweat when you cover your body, you may wish to change clothes as soon as possible, otherwise you will sweat when you cover your body, and you will easily catch cold when you are blown by cold air.

The temperature difference between day and night is also one of the criteria for judging whether to cover it. Chinese medicine reminds that in early spring, we should pay more attention to the weather forecast, understand the temperature changes one or two days in advance, and appropriately increase or decrease clothes. This can protect the body from sudden cold air to a great extent, thus reducing the occurrence of diseases. Especially when the weather forecast predicts that the temperature difference between day and night exceeds 7- 10 degrees Celsius, we should be more careful to prevent cold.

In addition, Chinese medicine reminds that special attention should be paid to the warmth of the head, feet, neck and hands in spring. Don't take off your hat, scarf, mask, thick socks and gloves soon, otherwise it will easily reduce your immunity and lead to disease invasion.

Five small methods of TCM effectively prevent beginning of spring's post-spring disease.

Method 1: the "spring cover" is suitable.

The theory of TCM health preservation emphasizes "spring covering". First, because people have just passed the stage of "winter storage", their metabolic function and disease resistance are low; On the other hand, under the stimulation of severe cold, the secretion of adrenaline and thyroxine in human body is greatly increased to maintain a high balance of heat production in human body. Spring has come, with the warming of the temperature, the heat production in the body gradually decreases, and the metabolism also changes. At this time, it takes several weeks for the hypothalamus and various systems in the body to adjust their adaptability to climate change.

When you should cover it depends on your physical strength, and you can't insist on consistency. The old, the weak, the sick and the disabled should be properly covered for a period of time to prevent colds in spring.

Method 2: Don't take off your clothes in a hurry.

After "beginning of spring", some people thought it was spring, so they took off their winter clothes in a hurry. It looked beautiful, but it was not good for human health. It is likely to further destroy the human defense function, lead to the occurrence of respiratory diseases such as influenza, pneumonia and asthma, or aggravate the original diseases.

Method 3: Dust removal and ventilation

When the room is closed for a winter, there will be a lot of dust accumulation. Dust removal and ventilation in early spring can reduce and inhibit the reproduction of germs and viruses and prevent diseases.

Method 4: Dieting and aphrodisiac

Traditional Chinese medicine health theory holds that "spring diet should be sour and sweet to strengthen spleen and strengthen yang" Old and infirm people should pay attention to tonic in spring and eat more digestible foods rich in vitamins and trace elements, such as chicken, duck, lean meat, eggs, fresh vegetables, fruits, wild vegetables, etc., which can not only strengthen the spleen and strengthen yang, but also facilitate digestion.

Method 5: Exercise.

Outdoor exercise can absorb more fresh oxygen, improve cardiopulmonary function, increase the excitement of the brain, and make the body adjust its body temperature faster and more accurately to adapt to the changeable climate in spring; Ultraviolet rays in sunlight can resist and kill many kinds of germs and viruses; Ultraviolet rays in sunlight can also convert dehydrocholesterol in the panel into vitamin D, promote the absorption of trace elements such as calcium and phosphorus in food, and play a role in preventing and treating panel cancer and senile osteoporosis.

Beginning of spring focuses on healthy food that should be eaten for health.

According to the traditional theory of dietotherapy, the vegetables that are divergent from Xin Gan are: rape, coriander, leek, onion, mustard, white radish, pepper, ginger, onion, garlic, chrysanthemum, kohlrabi, fennel, Chinese cabbage, celery, spinach, shepherd's purse, fennel, day lily and water spinach.

Beginning of spring and health care in the twenty-four solar terms

As the saying goes: "It rains in beginning of spring, get up early and go to bed late." This summarizes the content and characteristics of health preservation in beginning of spring. After a break in autumn and winter, people will start working in spring. Therefore, keeping in good health in spring should conform to the characteristics that everything begins in spring, and gradually transition from "nourishing yin in autumn and winter" to "nourishing yang in spring and summer". According to the five elements theory of traditional Chinese medicine, spring belongs to wood, corresponding to liver, so spring health preservation is mainly to nourish yang and protect liver, while protecting liver is mainly to regulate mood. Being in a good mood can not only prevent the anger from rising, but also help the growth of yang. For example, The Theory of Four Qi Regulating the Spirit in Neijing says: "Spring qi is contrary to yang qi, and liver qi changes internally". It means that if you don't keep in good health in spring, it will violate the spring qi, and the qi of shaoyang in the body can't grow, which will cause stagnation of liver qi. At the same time, after beginning of spring, the climate is characterized by the general atmosphere, and the common cold can be taken as a pathogenic factor alone and often combined with other pathogens as a disease. When the common cold invades the human body.

First, it hurts the upper part, such as head and neck pain, stuffy nose, runny nose and itchy throat.

Second, the range of lesions is wide, and the number of charitable acts of the common cold changes, and the changes are uncertain. There are ups and downs, which can reach the forehead, and crimes can invade the waist, knees, tibia and fibula.

Third, "if you win, the wind will move." Any abnormal limb execution, such as convulsion, spasm, trembling, varus angulus, stiff neck, etc., is often attributed to wind and classified as wind disease. Therefore, Huangdi Neijing also said: "Wind is the beginning of all diseases". Therefore, special attention should be paid to the prevention of colds, epidemics, rheumatism and cardiovascular diseases in this solar term.

In terms of diet, Sun Simiao, a doctor in the Tang Dynasty, said in Qian Jin Fang: "On the seventy-second day of spring, it is sour and sweet to nourish the temper." In other words, eat less sour food and eat more sweet products to nourish the spleen. It is advisable to eat more leeks, lilies, pea seedlings, shepherd's purse, garlic and chrysanthemums, that is, Guangzhou dialect "water chestnut mushroom", bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, sugar cane, yam, sweet potato, jujube and solid fruit. And avoid onions, peppers, cinnamon and fennel.

Health-preserving soup should be based on nourishing yin and liver, tonifying kidney and benefiting qi, but due to the changeable spring, we should pay attention to many aspects, such as medlar and pig liver soup in nourishing liver; Drink pepper root three snake soup and Chuanxiong stewed fish head when damp and cold drive away wind; Drink Spatholobus suberectus, pork bone black bean soup, etc.
