Diet: It is advisable to eat sweet and divergent products.

In terms of diet recuperation, it is necessary to consider that the yang is born in spring, and it is appropriate to eat sweet and divergent products, not sour. "On Su Wen's Method of Storing Qi" says: "The liver governs the spring, …… the liver is bitter and anxious, and it is sweet to eat urgently and slowly, … the liver wants to disperse, and it is dispersed with pungent food, supplemented with pungent food, and diarrhea with acid". In the relationship between five zang-organs and five flavors, sour taste enters the liver and converges, which is not conducive to the growth of Yang Qi and the release of liver qi. Diet should nurse its viscera, that is, "bitter goes against its nature, so it is desirable." Desire is what the dirty god wants, that is, to make up for it. People who suffer are hated by the unclean god, that is, diarrhea. "Understand this relationship, you can purposefully choose some drugs and foods that soften and nourish the liver, soothe the liver and regulate qi, such as Lycium barbarum, Radix Curcumae, Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae and Rhizoma Corydalis. And choose jujube, lobster sauce, onion, coriander, peanuts and other formulas.

Daily life: put on thick clothes and put on thin clothes.

In spring, the climate changes greatly, and the weather changes from cold to warm. As the human body becomes loose, its resistance to cold and evil weakens. Therefore, people who live in the north in early spring should not wear cotton-padded jackets, and the elderly and infirm should be cautious in dressing.

Qian Jin Fang Yao advocated that clothes should be "thick under and thin on top" in spring, and Lao Hengyan also said: "The lower body is too warm in spring, so the upper body is slightly reduced, so it nourishes the yang." In daily life in spring, human qi and blood need to stretch freely, just like nature. Lie down at night and get up early, don't wear a hat, relax your clothes, stretch your body, take part in outdoor activities more, overcome the state of fatigue and drowsiness, adapt your spirit and emotions to nature, and strive for physical and mental harmony and energy.

Prevention of disease: the way to block the crime of warming evil

On the other hand, keeping in good health in spring is to prevent diseases and protect health. Especially in early spring, the weather turns from cold to warm, and all kinds of pathogenic bacteria and viruses grow and multiply. The pathogenic factors of warm toxin began to move, and influenza, meningitis, measles, scarlet fever and pneumonia mentioned in modern medicine also occurred and became popular. In order to avoid the occurrence of diseases in spring, we should often open the window for ventilation to make the indoor air circulate and keep the air fresh; Strengthen exercise and improve the body's defense ability. Pay attention to nose and mouth health care, and block the way of warm evil attacking the lungs first.

The sun is the soul of early spring. However, the yin cold is not over yet, and it is in the turning point from yin to yang cold to heat, and it is a period from cold to warm. People's ability to resist diseases and adapt to the climate is weak, and there are many epidemic diseases, which may be infected if they are not careful, especially the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, children and teenagers. Besides the daily precautions, we should also adjust our diet.

Daily health care: pay attention to protecting the liver

After beginning of spring, the weather was hot and cold, and the climate change was still great. The so-called "covering spring and freezing autumn" can reduce diseases, especially common respiratory infectious diseases.

According to the nature, spring belongs to wood, corresponding to liver. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the liver governs emotions. Therefore, beginning of spring's health preservation is mainly to protect the liver, regulate emotions, keep a good mood, and prevent the "upwelling of liver fire". Being in a good mood can not only prevent the anger from rising, but also help the growth of yang. Avoiding rage and depression, being open-minded, optimistic and keeping a good attitude are all conducive to soothing the liver and regulating qi. Chinese medicine believes that special attention should be paid to maintaining the liver in spring to adapt to the weather. Therefore, when taking care of the diet, we should consider the characteristics of rising yang in spring, and eat more pungent and sweet foods, such as rape, coriander, leek, onion, mustard, white radish, chrysanthemum, kohlrabi, fennel, Chinese cabbage, celery and spinach.

Exercise: Slow pace.

With the temperature rising, people should gradually increase outdoor activities to speed up blood circulation and promote blood circulation. It is more suitable for sports with moderate rhythm, such as spring outing, flying kites, walking, jogging, playing Tai Chi and not violent ball games. It should be noted that this season is not suitable for strenuous exercise, sweating and asthma, otherwise it may consume yang, which is not good for your health.

You can do lung rubbing exercise when you walk. The lung meridian is on the inner side of the arm and extends downward to the thumb through the shoulder socket, so it will have a good effect to massage the upper and lower points, and these two points are easier to find, one is Zhongfu in the shoulder socket position and the other is Shaoshang point of the thumb. Get up every morning and knock 100 with your hands and fists.
