First, we should pay attention to daily exercise. Neijing says: "In spring and March, lie down at night and get up early, and go to court ... the way to keep fit." In spring, the sun is the spirit, the climate is integrated and the air is fresh. Old people should get up early and go to bed late when conditions permit, and do more outdoor activities, such as walking, jogging, doing exercises, boxing, qigong and so on. , so that the human body's blood is smooth, stagnation and evacuation, stretching bones and muscles.
Second, we should pay attention to the spring cover. Because spring is warm and cold, human blood vessels dilate and sweat pores relax. If you suddenly reduce your clothes, it is very easy to make "cold pathogens enter" and cause diseases such as colds, bronchitis and pneumonia. Therefore, clothes should be increased or decreased in time according to the weather changes, and not too much at once. Chinese medicine believes that "spring can't keep your back cold", and you should pay more attention to keeping your back warm.
Third, it is advisable to eliminate spring sleepiness. It's warm and sunny in bloom in spring, but some people are sleepy and listless. This is the so-called "spring sleep". Sleepiness in spring is due to the temporary inability of human physiological functions to adapt to environmental changes, rather than lack of sleep or illness. In order to adapt to the changes of the external environment more quickly, we should take an active part in physical exercise to enhance heart function, improve blood circulation and blood supply to the brain, and greatly alleviate or eliminate spring sleepiness.
Fourth, we should pay attention to nourishing the liver and protecting the spleen, which is sweet and sour. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the spleen and stomach are the foundation of the day after tomorrow, the source of qi and blood metaplasia, and the vitality of the spleen and stomach can prolong life. Eating more acidic food in spring will make liver yang hyperactive and damage the spleen and stomach, which is one of the reasons why chronic gastritis and peptic ulcer occur frequently in spring.
In spring, we should eat more foods rich in high-quality protein, sugar, vitamins and trace elements, such as lean meat, eggs, jujube, honey, fresh vegetables, fruits and dried fruits, and eat less acidic foods to nourish yang and astringe yin, and nourish liver and protect spleen.
