Today ushered in the second solar term of spring-rain.
As soon as the rain arrives, spring returns to the earth, the fields are full of vitality and everything begins to sprout.
At this time, it is the season of "79 rivers open and 89 geese come" in 99 songs. The ice and snow melt and the precipitation increases.
Rainwater solar term is an important node of spring health preservation.
Taking good care of your body at this time can improve your disease resistance and reduce the occurrence of diseases.
Compendium of Materia Medica: "Spring rain has the spirit of hair growth, and the medicine that clears the qi but does not rise will get twice the result with half the effort."
Therefore, after the solar term of rain, we should pay attention to the work of maintaining our bodies and lay the foundation for the health of the whole year.
It's raining. For the sake of health, eat more vegetables, adhere to the three essentials, take four precautions and improve the disease resistance.
The rainy season, that is, early spring, is a good time to "eat sprouts"
In particular, the "planted" bean sprouts can help the five internal organs to change from winter storage to spring production.
Among them, mung bean sprouts are a good choice, which can clear away heat and toxic materials, induce diuresis and prevent excessive internal heat.
Moreover, it is inevitable to eat greasy food during the Spring Festival. Mung bean sprouts contain a lot of water, so they will not accumulate fat after eating, which is more suitable for solar terms.

Leek is pungent and warm, can tonify yang, and has the effect of sweating and relieving exterior syndrome. It is a good food choice in early spring.
In the rainy season, it is necessary to do a good job of "spring cover" to prevent "cold spring"
When winter goes and spring comes, the cold begins to recede and the yang rises. Spring is a difficult road.
At this time, the adjustment function of the body can't keep up with the change of the weather. If you don't pay attention, you will catch a cold.
According to the temperature change, increase or decrease clothes to keep warm in time. Prevent cold air from invading the body, causing the body's resistance to decline, which is the so-called "spring cover".
It is very important to master the scale of "spring cover" and ensure five warmth:
Room heating: the indoor temperature should be kept above 18.
Warm-up: Go outside and take a sunshine bath when the weather is fine.
Warm feet: Don't take off your long trousers, and soak your feet with hot water before going to bed.
Warm head: the head is easy to dissipate heat, so wear a hat and scarf when going out.
Warm back: the back and chest are hidden by the heart and lungs, so don't catch cold.
The rainy season should focus on maintaining the "spleen and stomach".
On the one hand, liver qi is strong in spring, and liver wood is easy to spoil spleen soil, which leads to the decline of spleen and stomach function.
On the other hand, after the solar term of rain, precipitation increases, moisture increases, and the evil of cold and dampness most easily bothers the spleen.
Therefore, in the rainy season, a top priority of health care is to nourish the spleen.
First of all, pay attention to diet and reduce sour food. "In spring, you should keep sour and sweet to nourish your temper."
Sour taste enters the liver and converges. Eating more is not conducive to the growth of yang in spring, but also makes the liver qi more abundant and aggravates the influence on the spleen and stomach. However, sweet taste into the spleen can nourish the spleen to balance the changes of qi in the viscera.
Therefore, eat some sweets in moderation, such as yam, jujube, coix seed, glutinous rice, lentils, carrots, sweet potatoes, potatoes, pumpkins and so on.
Secondly, you can also press Zusanli.
About 20 minutes after breakfast, rubbing your knees repeatedly with your hands can strengthen your spleen and stomach.
Then, pressing Zusanli point for 5 minutes can generate stomach qi, dry spleen and dampness, which is beneficial to longevity.
After the rain, the rain increases, the weather is cold and humid, and the body is prone to moisture.
Moisture easily invades the human body, which will make people feel sleepy and weak because of too much moisture in the body.
At this time, we should pay attention to preventing dampness, and the spleen transports water and dampness. It can be seen that strengthening the spleen and promoting diuresis is the key and cannot be ignored.
You can use some small plants that strengthen the spleen and promote diuresis, and soak them in water instead of tea, so as to strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness and detoxify, and the effect is better.

Spring is sleepy and autumn is lacking, summer is sleepy, and winter and March are sleepless!
In spring, people are more likely to get sleepy, and many people will have a "spring sleepy" situation.
I often feel sleepy, tired and dizzy, which is a physiological phenomenon caused by human function and climate change.
If you want to relieve spring sleepiness and fatigue, you might as well do more "stretching" actions.
Stretch, do deep breathing exercises, let your head lean back as far as possible and your arms stretch back, increase the blood flowing into your head, supply more nutrition to your brain, and make people feel awake and comfortable immediately.
Stretching and moving limbs regularly is absolutely beneficial to restoring fatigue.
Especially for office workers, sedentary and prolonged stretching are the "magic weapon" to maintain vigorous energy in spring.
In the early spring after the rain, the climate gets warmer, it gets colder in the morning and evening, the cold gets worse gradually, the climate is dry, and the water in the human body is easy to lose, which is easy to cause excessive internal heat, dry mouth and chapped lips.
In addition, just after the Spring Festival holiday, after several days of banquets and gatherings of relatives and friends, the digestive system of the body is overloaded, and it is prone to symptoms such as red eyes, sore throat and swollen gums, commonly known as "spring fire".
At this time, try to drink some warm water, eat more fresh vegetables and juicy fruits, and replenish human moisture.
Eat less greasy things and eat more red dates, yams, lotus seeds, spinach, oranges, honey, sugar cane and so on.
Pay attention to soothing the liver and regulating qi after rain to prevent liver depression.
Spring qi is connected with the liver, and a little carelessness will easily lead to stagnation of liver qi.
Once stagnation of liver qi cannot occur, it will damage liver function and even induce pathological changes.
The most important thing to prevent liver depression is to adjust your mood, and you must not get angry in spring.
Anger hurts the liver, and it is especially important to get angry in spring.
Attention should be paid to maintaining a happy mood, helping the expression of liver qi, soaking water with scented tea, soothing the liver and regulating qi.
Rainy and solar terms, changeable weather, is one of the seasons with the most cold waves in the whole year.
At this time, the temperature will rise and fall, which will easily lead to a cold. Special attention should be paid to preventing the occurrence of influenza.
In order to prevent the flu, you should wash your hands often. It's easy to hide bacteria in your hands. If you don't pay attention to cleaning, they may enter the human body through mucous membranes when touching your face, picking your nose and rubbing your eyes, causing infection.
In addition, pay attention to ventilation. A closed space is most conducive to the breeding of germs and viruses. No matter what the weather is like, it's best to leave the window open and let the room ventilate.
Finally, ensure adequate rest. If you don't get enough rest, you will become weak and let the virus enter.
