One is not "sour"

In spring, the diet should be "sour and sweet", because liver yang is hyperactive in spring, and eating acidic food will easily lead to excessive liver qi, while liver exuberance will easily damage the spleen and stomach. Therefore, the spring diet is sour.

Acidic foods such as mutton, dog meat, quail, marine fish, shrimps and crabs are not suitable for eating. It is advisable to eat sweet and spleen-strengthening products, such as yam, bamboo shoots, spinach, jujube and leek. You can also cook porridge with 30g of yam, 75g of millet, 25g of lotus seeds, and 0/0 slices of jujube/kloc, and add a little sugar as the staple food for long-term consumption.

Second, it is not "quiet"

In spring, the yang in nature begins to rise, and the human body should rely on this natural feature to focus on yang. The key to nourishing yang lies in "moving" and should not be "static".

Old people should take active outdoor exercise. There are more negative oxygen ions in the air in spring, which can enhance the working efficiency of the cerebral cortex.

And prevent arteriosclerosis. However, the elderly should not do spring exercises too early to prevent cold, asthma and chronic bronchitis caused by low temperature and fog in the morning. They should go out to exercise after the sun rises. In addition, spring training can not be on an empty stomach. Old people have slow blood flow and low body temperature in the morning. They should drink some hot soup before exercise. At the same time, exercise should be slow. After getting up in the morning, the muscles of the elderly are slack and the joints and ligaments are stiff. Gently move your body joints before exercise to prevent accidents caused by sudden exercise.

Three noes "anger"

Spring is the time when the liver yang is excited, and the mood is irritable, so we should be open-minded and harmonious.

A good mood helps to nourish the liver, because depression will lead to stagnation of liver qi, affect the function of soothing the liver and relieving qi, and also make the neuroendocrine system dysfunctional and the immunity decline, which will easily lead to mental illness, liver disease, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and so on. Fourth, don't "jump"

The yang of the elderly is relatively insufficient, but spring is a good opportunity to raise yang. If lust is crazy and sexual intercourse is frequent, it will consume gas and damage essence, further damaging the yang. Therefore, the elderly should abstain from sex in spring.
