The characteristics of spring health preservation are: "The vernal equinox is not small, and illness often knocks at the door." This requires us to pay special attention to adjusting the laws of diet, daily life, cold and heat in order to maintain good health.
Sister Hong summed up five formulas for everyone to make it easier for you to remember and do:
These five things are:
1. Clothes should be "covered"
Although spring has come, the weather will not warm up soon, and the temperature will still alternate between hot and cold. If people are eager to take off their clothes, they will easily catch cold and cause colds. Therefore, it is necessary to "cover" 10 15 days at least after beginning of spring.
Because it is windy in spring, people with white tongue coating and diarrhea are more likely to have abdominal pain and diarrhea at this time. So don't go outdoors in windy weather to avoid catching a cold.
It is because of the strong wind that people are prone to colds and runny noses during this period. In addition to outdoor exercise in suitable weather to enhance one's resistance, one should also develop the habit of wearing a mask, which is not only for epidemic prevention, but also for effectively preventing colds.
Step 2 eat "sweet"
In terms of diet, spring health care should first pay attention to maintaining the balance of all aspects of our body, and second, pay attention to nourishing and protecting the liver.
When cooking cold food, adding onion, ginger, wine and vinegar with isothermal seasoning can effectively prevent the dishes from getting cold and damaging the spleen and stomach after eating.
Nourishing the liver is suitable for eating spicy and easy-to-disperse food. You can use coriander, peanuts, onions, fermented beans, ginger, shrimp, leeks and other foods that are conducive to the growth of yang to flavor.
Pay attention to eating less sour food in diet. Sour food is not good for the growth of human yang, and it also affects the release of liver qi. Therefore, we should eat more sweet and moist foods, such as longan, tremella, jujube, lily, pear and radish, and pay attention to eating less spicy things.
At the vernal equinox, the human body should have a balance of yin and yang. If you have more morning diarrhea, it means you are weak. Might as well use dried ginger stew soup, or eat dried ginger stew chicken soup.
It is also necessary to reduce salt intake. Eating more salt hurts kidney qi, which is not conducive to the maintenance of Yang Qi.
"take a deep breath"
In early spring, the weather is getting warmer and warmer. With the growth of everything, many pathogenic bacteria and viruses are also growing and reproducing, so we must take preventive measures to avoid diseases.
The most basic thing is that when the air quality is good, open the window at home to take a breath, let the indoor air circulate and keep the air fresh.
4. There are "rules"
After beginning of spring, nature flourished, and the most suitable time for people to work and rest is to go to bed early and get up early.
Taking a walk in the morning or at other convenient times, or going to the suburbs more often, can not only breathe fresh air, but also make you feel happy. Not only can you relax your body, but you can also adjust your mood, which is the basis of spring health preservation.
relax
In spring, the human body is characterized by a strong liver fire, and people's emotions are more irritable. So we should pay attention to adjust our mood, do more things that will make us happy, and reduce anxiety and impatience.
Ok, let's summarize the five key formulas that should be paid attention to in the life of the spring equinox and solar terms:
Clothes should be covered; Eat sweet; Live, breathe; There are rules; Feel comfortable.
