Enhance resistance; Eat more foods rich in vitamin A, vitamin C and minerals, such as Chinese cabbage, potatoes, green peppers, tomatoes, carrots, celery, etc. Eat more fungus, mushrooms, mushrooms and other fungi to enhance immunity.
Food should be sweet and flat.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that both spring and liver correspond to the "wood" in the five elements, and the diet of nourishing liver in spring should be "reducing acid and nourishing yang" Because spring is easy to be full of liver fire, sour taste enters the liver, which is easy to aggravate liver fire, so spring should be "less acid". Spring is suitable for eating foods that clear the liver and strengthen the spleen, such as Chinese cabbage, carrots, spinach, eggs and bean products.
Appropriate food supplement
Spring is the most vigorous season of human physiological function and the fastest season of children's growth and development in a year. At this time, if it is supplemented reasonably, it is very beneficial to enhance physical fitness and promote growth and development. Spring food supplement should choose light and mild food to strengthen the body resistance and replenish vitality.
People with qi deficiency can eat more foods that strengthen the spleen and replenish qi, such as rice porridge, chicken, beef, peanuts, sesame seeds, milk, etc.
People with deficiency of both qi and yin can eat more foods that benefit qi and nourish yin, such as lotus root, duck meat, mushrooms, water chestnuts and bean sprouts.
Scientific drinking water
Everyone must be familiar with the concept of drinking eight glasses of water every day, but in fact, most people's bodies are in a state of water shortage in varying degrees for a long time, mainly because of insufficient drinking water. Long-term water shortage in the body is easy to cause metabolic disorder, which makes human metabolic waste accumulate in capillaries, thus reducing the function of human organs, causing diseases and accelerating aging.
Specifically, scientific drinking water mainly includes the following four aspects:
Proper amount
Eight glasses of water a day is a broad concept. How much water should everyone drink a day? Generally speaking, a person needs to supplement 365,438+0 grams of water per kilogram of body weight every day, while people who consume relatively much water need 47 grams of water per kilogram of body weight every day. This means that people who weigh 60 kilograms have to quote 2 liters of water every day.
timely
The time of drinking water needs to be adapted to the physiological needs, so as to better play the role of health preservation. In ancient times, there was "salt water in the morning and honey water at night". Modern medicine also advocates drinking water in the morning, because the water absorbed by drinking water in the morning can be quickly absorbed by the human body, which can not only increase blood volume, promote metabolism, but also reduce blood viscosity, which is of great benefit to lowering blood and preventing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Drinking a small amount of water before meals can promote digestion; Drinking a small amount of water before going to bed is helpful to sleep.
comfort temperature
Some people like to drink hot tea to quench their thirst, while others like to drink ice water to quench their thirst, but it is best to quote warm water of about 25 degrees.
clean
Drinking water should be clean, especially raw water. Bacteria are rampant in spring, and drinking raw water can easily lead to bacterial infections, such as hepatitis and digestive system diseases.
