How to maintain health in early spring?
Chinese medicine experts said
Do these things well and make you healthier!
Just after beginning of winter, the spring is chilly, and the yang in nature begins to grow. The temperature difference between morning and evening is large, especially in Lingnan area, which is often wet in cold. Damp-cold pathogens are most likely to invade human viscera and joints, leading to colds, asthma, arthritis and other diseases.
Professor Wang from the Center for Prevention of Diseases of Shenzhen Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine reminds everyone that special attention should be paid to keeping warm when dressing, and clothes should not be reduced too quickly. We should cover them for a long time to adjust the balance of yin and yang slowly and adapt to the new climate characteristics.
From the perspective of TCM health preservation, it is to "conform to the right time, the right place and the right people". As the saying goes, "covering in spring and freezing in autumn will not cause miscellaneous diseases", and "covering in spring" is a traditional way of keeping in good health. Spring Wu should also be properly covered, with the focus on the head, back, abdomen, knees and feet.
0 1 header:
The head is the "confluence of all yang" of the human body, and it is the most vigorous part of the whole body. Cold pathogens are easy to attack the head of the human body. Old and infirm people can wear hats to keep warm, and dry them immediately after washing their hair and bathing, not when the wind blows directly;
02 back:
Keeping your back warm can prevent the cold from damaging the "sea of yang pulse"-the governor pulse, and reduce the chance of catching a cold;
03 abdomen:
Keeping the abdomen warm helps to prevent indigestion and cold diarrhea; Women should pay more attention to the warmth of the abdomen and lower body to avoid gynecological diseases such as dysmenorrhea and irregular menstruation.
04 knee:
Knee is the home of tendons and veins, and it is easy to contracture when it is cold. Cold knee will cause local muscles and blood vessels to contract, causing joint pain. Covering your knees can strengthen blood circulation and relieve muscle spasm.
05 ft:
"Cold starts from the feet", and the feet are gathered by yin veins, which are often full of yin, far away from centrifugation and less blood supply, and are vulnerable to cold. Often rubbing feet and soaking feet can enhance human yang and enhance resistance.
After the Spring Festival holiday, everyone seems to be uncomfortable when they start working, which is easy to cause fatigue, which is often called "spring sleep".
As the saying goes, "Spring is sleepy, autumn is short, summer is sleepy, winter is sleepless in March". Professor Wang said that from the perspective of Chinese medicine, it is the embodiment of "harmony between man and nature". With the changes of the four seasons, Yang Qi and Yin Qi change with each other. Because after a winter, people's yang needs to stretch slowly, leading to qi and blood mainly running on the limbs and body surface. Relatively speaking, less supply to the brain will make people feel tired and sleepy.
Professor Wang explained that "Huangdi Neijing" mentioned: "Spring and March, this is called hair Chen. Heaven and earth are born, everything is glorious, lying at night and getting up early, striding towards the court and walking slowly, thus making life, living without killing, giving without taking, rewarding without punishment, which is the response of spring and the way to keep fit; On the contrary, it hurts the liver, and it is cold in summer and has few elders. "
In spring, everything is ready to move, and bacteria and viruses are also active and easy to spread with the wind, so infectious diseases occur frequently in spring. In the face of the spread of COVID-19, we should maintain a good health, do a good job in daily life protection, pay attention to environmental hygiene, enhance our own resistance and prevent the occurrence of diseases. The so-called "prevention before illness" in Chinese medicine is more important to prevent diseases in advance.
In addition, I would like to remind you that in the early stage of infectious diseases in spring, there are many symptoms similar to colds, which are easily overlooked. Therefore, if the body is not suitable for timely medical treatment, especially fever and rash symptoms, it should be diagnosed as soon as possible and treated in time.
Chinese medicine experts put forward suggestions from the following three aspects.
Diet, emotional regulation, daily life
prescribe a diet
Chinese yam, coix seed, lotus seeds, lentils, poria cocos, etc. Both contribute to strengthening the spleen and eliminating dampness; Seasonal vegetables and fruits, such as onions, coriander, medlar leaves, spinach and oranges.
In spring, the yang is healthy, the diet should be less sour and more sweet, and eat more sweets. Acid enters the liver meridian, and eating more acid can easily lead to excessive liver fire and damage the spleen and stomach. Proper consumption of foods with rising pungent and sweet tastes is helpful to Yang Qi, which accords with the characteristics of rising Yang Qi in spring.
Sun Chun crucian carp soup

Besides paying attention to diet
You can also promote health by massaging acupoints.
Press Zusanli point
Traditional Chinese medicine often presses Zusanli point, which can also play the role of strengthening the spleen and eliminating dampness and health care.
Positioning: Bend your knees, three inches below the outer knee, lateral to the anterior tibial crest 1 transverse finger.
Emotional adjustment
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the liver belongs to wood, corresponding to spring, and the liver is "happy and depressed", so it is said that "great anger hurts the liver". The physiological characteristic of the liver is that it prefers to stretch and smooth emotions rather than depression and boredom. Therefore, we should be broad-minded and calm, especially in modern times, people are busy and impetuous, and we should be "calm and unmoved" to prevent the occurrence of psychological diseases.
Press Taichong point
Traditional Chinese medicine often presses Taichong point, which has the functions of soothing the liver and relieving depression, subduing yang and calming wind, regulating qi and regulating blood.
Positioning: Taichong point is located on the dorsal side of the foot, at the metatarsal joints of the first and second toes. The finger moves upward along the gap between the big toe and the second toe until the arterial reflex can be felt to the hand (in the depression between 1 and 2 metatarsal joints).
daily life
In spring, you should "lie down at night and get up early", and try to fall asleep before 1 1 at night to avoid staying up late.
