Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "changing from static to yang" is an important physiological change of human body in spring and the result of "harmony between man and nature". If this change can be carried out normally, the human body will be healthy and disease-free. If it is not carried out normally, the balance in the body will be destroyed and the human body will easily get sick.
Chinese medicine also believes that the Yang Qi rises in spring and trees germinate, which echoes the nature of "liver" in the five internal organs, and there is a saying that "liver is the liver of viscera", while "liver inhibits spleen", and the rise of liver qi in spring will affect the transportation of spleen to a certain extent, so many people have poor appetite and decreased appetite in spring. If this happens, they need to adjust their diet.
No matter healthy people or patients with chronic diseases, spring diet conditioning must conform to the changes of nature and human body, and you can't eat too much heavy and warm food like when the weather is cold in winter, which will not only increase the burden on the stomach, but also disturb the balance of yin and yang in the human body. Even if you eat a thick and warm medicated diet, it may not be good. Many people will have gastrointestinal discomfort after eating it.
Taking medicated diet in spring to recuperate the body also depends on the climate change and personal health. Because the climate changes greatly and frequently in spring, the yang in the human body also changes obviously, and the nature of medicinal diet also changes greatly. It's cold in spring. In principle, it's not advisable to take more cold medicine. Warm tonics should not be taken when the climate is getting warmer and the yang is rising; If the individual's constitution is yang, it is not appropriate to take more cold medicinal meals; People with fever due to yin deficiency should not take warming tonics. These are the basic principles. Therefore, the medicinal diet commonly used in spring is cool, flat and warm, which is also in line with the physiological changes of the human body when the temperature changes alternately.
