From the perspective of dietary science, the relative proportion of protein, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals should be maintained in spring to prevent overeating and avoid abnormal liver function and bile secretion.
2, the spring diet first raises the liver.
Spring is the peak of bacteria and viruses. The liver has the function of detoxification, and the burden is the heaviest. And because people's liver qi rises, it will also cause the recurrence of old diseases. For example, the rise of liver fire in spring will make the weak lung yin more virtual, then tuberculosis will take advantage of it. Chinese medicine believes that the human body governs the liver in spring, and the liver qi is naturally abundant in spring. If you don't keep in good health in spring, it's easy to hurt your liver qi. In order to adapt to the change of seasonal climate and maintain human health, we should pay attention to nourishing the liver first in diet conditioning.
3, the diet should be yang.
Yang refers to the yang of the human body, which has a protective effect on the human body and can make the human body strong and free from the invasion of six evils in nature. In spring, in terms of diet, we should follow the principle of "nourishing yang in spring and summer" put forward in Huangdi Neijing, and eat more foods that warm and tonify yang, so as to enrich human yang, enhance human resistance and resist the invasion of common cold pathogens. Li Shizhen also advocated "fresh and tender dishes such as onion, garlic, leek, Polygonum hydropiper, Artemisia, mustard, etc." in Compendium of Materia Medica. It should be mixed. "
4. Eat more sweet and less sour.
Eating more sweets is good for strengthening the spleen and stomach. Chinese medicine believes that the spleen and stomach are the foundation of the day after tomorrow and the source of qi and blood transformation. Spleen and stomach are vigorous and healthy, and people can prolong life. However, spring is a season of vigorous liver qi. According to the theory of five elements in traditional Chinese medicine, liver belongs to wood, spleen belongs to soil, and wood and soil coexist, that is, liver depression can hurt spleen and affect its digestion and absorption function.
Chinese medicine also believes that five flavors enter the five internal organs, such as sour taste into the liver, sweet taste into the spleen and salty taste into the kidney. Therefore, eating more sour food will strengthen the function of the liver, make the hyperactive liver qi more vigorous and hurt the spleen and stomach. In view of this, people should eat less sour food in spring to prevent excessive liver qi. And sweets into the spleen, can make up the temper, so you can eat more, such as jujube, yam, crispy rice and so on.
5, the diet should be light
From the thick taste of cream in winter to the mild temperature, the diet should be warm and avoid cold. People with cold stomach can often eat ginger to drive away cold and warm stomach; Asthma patients can take some ginger honey water to moisten dryness and relieve asthma; Patients with chronic bronchitis should fast or eat less spicy food. Others should not eat more irritating food, so as not to help the fire and hurt the body.
6. Drink plenty of water at ordinary times
Drinking water can increase the circulating blood volume, which is beneficial to nourishing the liver and excreting metabolic waste, and can reduce the damage of poisons to the liver. In addition, hydration is also beneficial to gland secretion, especially the secretion of digestive juice such as bile. Drinking scented tea in spring is helpful to dispel the cold evil accumulated in the body in winter, promote the hair growth of human yang, and stagnate and evacuate. Moderate drinking tea can also refresh you, but don't be greedy for cold drinks in spring.
7. Eat more vegetables
After winter, most people will have insufficient intake of vitamins, inorganic salts and trace elements, such as stomatitis, angular stomatitis, glossitis, night blindness and some skin diseases in spring. Therefore, with the arrival of spring and the listing of a large number of fresh vegetables, people must eat more fresh vegetables in order to have a balanced nutrition and good health.
