At the time of beginning of spring, the spirit of the sun began to sprout. The days became longer and the nights became shorter, but overall it was short and the nights were long.
According to the viewpoint that heaven corresponds to man in Huangdi Neijing, the law of getting up and sleeping should also correspond to the circadian rhythm. During this time, the days are getting longer and the nights are getting shorter and shorter. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the schedule, go to bed late and get up early, so as to facilitate the growth of Yang.
The "staying up late" here refers to "going to bed early" in other seasons, not to staying up late after modern people 1 1.
The weather in early spring is dominated by strong winds. At this time, the cold in winter has not completely disappeared, and the human body is easily affected by external factors.
At the same time, spring is the season of aging, and the body's defensive qi rises outward with the yang, and the muscle surface is loose and dense, so people in spring are vulnerable to cold pathogens and exogenous pathogens.
In short, we should continue to pay attention to cold and warmth at this time, and we should not lose heavy clothes too early; "Spring" focuses on the back, abdomen and soles of the feet.
At the beginning of spring, we should conform to the trend of the revival of everything, giving first, not taking, rewarding more and punishing less, so as to keep ourselves comfortable, happy, peaceful and optimistic.
Spring is the season when the liver dominates, which corresponds to the liver.
Liver-qi is full of joy and depression, but in beginning of spring and rainy season, the weather is changeable, which is easy to cause mood fluctuation and abnormal mood, which will have an impact on health. Therefore, at this time, we should pay special attention to emotional comfort, and we should not be depressed because of trivial matters, which will affect the relaxation of liver qi.
Liver-qi is calm and carefree, especially it is necessary to prevent excessive liver-qi caused by excessive anger, try to maintain a calm and stable mentality, and be calm, cheerful and open-minded.
In early spring, you can follow the trend of everything and exercise properly, but the activities should not be too intense.
It is suggested that moderate outdoor sports, such as walking, walking, jogging, etc., be carried out to enhance physical fitness and protect the yang in the body; Those who are inconvenient to go out can do some indoor sports.
Note: spring exercise should not be too early and the intensity should not be too high. To arrange the amount of exercise reasonably, you must warm up before exercise.
On this basis, we can properly match TCM exercises, such as Tai Ji Chuan, Baduanjin and Mawangdui, to strengthen the body, regulate qi and blood, and relax the body and mind.
Most ancient health care doctors regarded diet and health care as the basis of health care. According to the laws of the four seasons in nature, they put forward the principle of "diet should be adapted to the time".
In beginning of spring season, the snow and ice melt, the temperature turns from cold to warm, and the sun is the spirit. Therefore, according to the viewpoint of "nourishing yang in spring and summer" in Huangdi Neijing, we should choose warm food to nourish yang.
