In addition, as summer approaches, from the perspective of health care, we should also pay attention to food hygiene to prevent diseases from entering the mouth.
2, spring and summer diet should follow the anti-virus principle.
Spring is the season when the climate changes from cold to warm, and the temperature changes greatly. Bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms began to multiply in large numbers, and their vitality increased, which easily invaded the human body and led to diseases. Therefore, the diet should follow the principle of antiviral.
3, spring and summer diet should follow the principle of high calorie and high protein.
In early spring, the climate is still cold, and the human body needs to consume some energy to maintain the basal body temperature to keep out the cold. Therefore, the nutrients in early spring should be mainly high in calories. Therefore, the spring diet should follow the principle of high calorie and high protein.
In the daily diet in spring, in addition to cereal products, we should also choose foods such as soybeans, sesame seeds, peanuts and walnuts in order to replenish energy in time. Cold stimulation will accelerate the decomposition of protein in the body, which will lead to the decline of the body's resistance. Therefore, it is necessary to supplement high-quality protein foods in early spring, such as eggs, fish, shrimp, beef, chicken, rabbit meat and bean products. This kind of food is rich in methionine, which can enhance the cold tolerance of human body.
4, spring and summer diet should follow the principle of less acid and more sweetness.
Motherland medicine believes that "it is advisable to keep sour and sweeten in spring to nourish the temper". Therefore, the spring diet should follow the principle of less acid and more sweetness.
This is because: when the liver qi is strong in spring, it will affect the spleen. Therefore, spleen and stomach weakness is prone to occur in spring; If you eat more acidic food, your liver function will be high. Therefore, we should choose spicy and warm food in spring to avoid acidity. Diet should be light, avoid greasy, cold and irritating food.
In addition, spring is the off-season of vegetables, but the growth period of wild vegetables and mountain vegetables is earlier than that of ordinary vegetables, and they are rich in vitamins, so they can be eaten to supplement the shortcomings of ordinary vegetables.
5. The diet in spring and summer should be mainly plain.
The climate in spring is changeable, which makes people catch a cold most easily. Due to exogenous wind and cold, people will relapse and induce new diseases. Therefore, Chinese medicine believes that spring tonic should be easy to empty, while thick and greasy products are taboo. In this season, it is advisable to choose foods and drugs with rich nutrition and divergent functions, which not only play a role in health preservation, but also play a preventive role. People in general, especially those with weak constitution, should pay more attention to choosing a flat and clear diet.
Modern medicine believes that a light diet is very suitable for normal people or patients. In fact, there are many foods suitable for a plain diet. For example: wheat, buckwheat, coix seed, corn and other cereals; Soymilk, tofu, red beans, lentils and other beans; Fruits such as oranges and kumquat. If you can, you can eat sesame, honey, yam, walnut, jujube, lotus seeds, mushrooms, tremella and various seafood and eggs. The nature of these foods is mainly sweet, neither cold nor hot, neither greasy nor dry. They are mild and slow supplements, suitable for ordinary people or patients with chronic diseases to choose for a long time. They can not only strengthen people's physique, but also make food supplements for a long time without undue deviation. For patients with yang deficiency, yin deficiency, blood deficiency and qi deficiency, symptomatic medication will achieve obvious results.
The so-called food tonic refers to cold food, such as sugarcane juice, shepherd's purse, dried lily, snail, duck, bitter gourd, seaweed, kelp, jellyfish, mung bean and so on. On the one hand, eating these nourishing foods has the characteristics of nourishing but not greasy, which is suitable for people with weak body, bad stomach and poor digestion and absorption ability, that is, the so-called non-nourishing people; On the other hand, this tonic also has a certain heat-clearing effect, and is suitable for patients with yin deficiency or deficiency of both qi and yin, dry mouth, emaciation, irritability due to heat and persistent low fever. For patients with cold limbs, aversion to cold, loose stool, prolonged urination and signs of yang deficiency, do not eat it.

First, make up the dirty with the dirty, and chicken liver is better. Chicken liver is sweet and warm, and has the function of enriching blood and nourishing liver. Compared with other animal livers, it has stronger liver nourishing function and can warm the stomach. The specific eating method is: take 3 fresh chicken livers and rice 100g, and cook them together into porridge. It is suitable for treating liver-blood deficiency, improper diet, dry eyes or tears of the elderly. In addition, for the elderly with numbness of limbs, you can also take 5 pieces of chicken liver and 20 grams of gastrodia elata once a day after steaming, and take it for half a month.
Second, replenish liver blood and eat duck blood. Duck meat is bloody and nutritious. Liver governs storing blood and enriching blood with blood, which is a common treatment method in traditional Chinese medicine. Take duck blood 100g, crucian carp 100g and white rice 100g to cook porridge, which can nourish liver blood and help treat anemia.

7. Eat sweets in spring.
In spring, the weather is fine, everything recovers and people are full of vitality. From the health point of view, we should appropriately increase the intake of sweets, which is beneficial to health. The ancient masterpiece "On the Essentials of Health Preservation" pointed out: "In spring, the taste of food should be turned into sweet and sour to nourish the temper." This means that when the liver fire is strong in spring, liver qi will affect the spleen, and eating more sweets will strengthen the function of the spleen and help resist the invasion of liver qi.
On the contrary, eating too much acid in spring is easy to hurt the spleen. Because eating more sour taste, sour taste into the liver will strengthen the hyperactivity of liver qi. Therefore, the diet in spring should be "sour and sweet" and eat less sour food. Therefore, it is advisable to eat more sweets. Such as brown sugar and white sugar, have the functions of invigorating the middle energizer and invigorating the spleen. As far as vegetables are concerned, you should often eat sweet carrots, cauliflower, Chinese cabbage, sweet peppers and so on. Eat more sweets such as onions, celery and leeks.
