Common sense of TCM health care for colds
Before and after Tomb-Sweeping Day, everything revived, with lush vegetation, green willows and blooming spring flowers, showing a thriving scene. But at this time, it is warm and cold, the climate changes greatly, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, which is hard to prevent, and it is easy for people to catch a cold often, causing bronchitis, pneumonia or tonsillitis. Therefore, Tomb-Sweeping Day is also a good time for health preservation, which is of great significance to health. Then the problem is coming. How to keep in good health in this cold-prone Qingming Festival?

First, keep a happy mood.

According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, spring health preservation should be based on rising yang to protect the liver, and the growth of yang and the release of liver qi, like the growth of trees, like calm. Therefore, in spring, we should pay attention to adjusting our emotions, keeping our mood happy, and preventing the anger from rushing up, which is conducive to the growth of yang. Therefore, we should be less angry, cheerful and optimistic, and always keep a good mood of happiness.

Second, we should eat more warm food and seed food.

Sweet potato, yam, potato, sesame, jujube, honey, milk, etc. ; Carrots, bean sprouts, tofu, lotus roots, etc. ; Fresh vegetables, such as rape, celery, spinach, Toona sinensis, etc. Light and gentle, it helps healthy qi and replenish vitality, which is very suitable for this season. In addition, seed foods, such as oats, lentils, peanuts, soybeans, coffee beans and various nuts, should be eaten properly.

Third, exercise properly and don't cut clothes drastically.

At this time, you can start appropriate exercise according to your own situation, but avoid strenuous exercise. Because the time in the morning is tight, it is not advisable to get up too early during the Qingming period. You can choose to take a walk every evening. When walking, you can wipe your hands, rub your chest and abdomen, beat your back and pat your whole body. It helps to disperse qi and blood, dredge meridians and generate yang. Also be careful not to cut clothes drastically. As the saying goes, "Spring covers the autumn", but modern people often dismiss it. In fact, it is really inappropriate to cut clothes too early in early spring.

Fourth, avoid hair.

Spring is the season when winter bamboo shoots and spring bamboo shoots are on the market. Bamboo shoots are delicious and people like to eat them, but they are cold, slippery and gas-consuming. People with chronic diseases should not eat too much. If they eat too much, they will cause cough and lead to the recurrence of many chronic diseases, such as hemoptysis and asthma. In addition, it is not advisable to eat chicken this season. In spring, liver yang is hyperactive, and eating chicken to dispel wind and help liver fire is easy to make chronic hepatitis and hypertension recur. In addition, other hair products with positive symptoms, such as marine fish, shrimp, crab, bamboo shoots, bamboo shoots, mutton, etc., are also not edible. But you can eat more products that soften the liver and moisten the lungs, such as shepherd's purse, spinach, yam, mussels (that is, shellfish), and you can also eat more seasonal fruits and vegetables.
