Solar terms health care
Conform to nature: After beginning of spring, the sun rose and everything began to form. In line with the characteristics of spring, we should pay attention to protecting yang in health preservation. In order to protect the yang, we should keep in good health from the aspects of diet, daily life, psychology and exercise.
Pay attention to disease prevention: as the saying goes, "a hundred herbs sprout and retreat, and all diseases are born." Everything germinates in spring, which also breeds the reproduction and spread of pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses. Therefore, in spring, we should pay special attention to hygiene, insect prevention, and more window ventilation to prevent diseases. The climate in spring is characterized by national spirit. In early spring, common cold and wind chill are dominant, and in late spring, common cold and temperature are dominant. So spring is pathogenic to the common cold.
Huangdi Neijing said: "Wind is the beginning of all diseases." Because several other pathogens invade the human body with the help of ethos, such as cold pathogens, heat pathogens and wet pathogens.

Spring diet should avoid eating greasy and cold food, and eat more foods rich in vitamin B and fresh vegetables. Spring is the time when the liver is vigorous, so we should eat more foods with mild taste and rich in protein, sugar, vitamins and minerals.
