On the15th day after the vernal equinox, the nutritionist team and Chinese medicine team of Hualien Tzu Chi Medical Center ushered in the fifth solar term: Qingming. At this time, the climate is getting warmer, plants are sprouting, apricot blossoms and peach blossoms are in full bloom, and the scene is refreshing and clear. After the vernal equinox, Yin Qi in the body gradually weakened, while liver qi became more and more vigorous with the arrival of spring, reaching its peak in Tomb-Sweeping Day. If the liver qi is excessive, it will easily interfere with the spleen and stomach, make the digestion and absorption function of food worse, and may also cause emotional disorders, poor blood circulation and other problems. The focus of health preservation this season is how to soften and soothe the liver and regulate emotions. Spinach produced in this season can be chosen as a health food. "Compendium of Materia Medica" records: "Spinach can promote blood circulation, open the chest and diaphragm, reduce qi, quench thirst and moisten dryness, and its roots are excellent. In addition to promoting blood circulation and enriching blood, it also has the functions of protecting eyes and delaying cell aging. " On the other hand, papaya has the function of calming the liver and stomach, and is rich in enzymes, which can promote digestion. β-carotene, vitamins C and E contained in it have antioxidant capacity and can reduce the damage of free radicals to human cells. Mulberry, which was abundant around Qingming Festival, explained in Compendium of Materia Medica: "Mulberry is fine, sweet and cold in nature, and it is a medicine for cooling blood, enriching blood and benefiting yin. "Mulberry contains a lot of iron and vitamin C, which can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis. Because mulberry fruit is not easy to preserve, you can choose to make jam or a mulberry biscuit, and you can taste sweet and sour at any time! Chinese medicine recommends health food spinach: it contains oxalic acid, which will affect the body's absorption of calcium. Before eating, you can scald it with hot water to remove oxalic acid. Patients with nephritis and kidney calculi should not eat, and those with spleen deficiency and loose stool should not eat more. Papaya: It contains a small amount of papaya, so don't eat too much at a time. Pregnant women and people with allergies are not suitable for eating. Mulberry: Sweet in taste and cold in nature. People with poor gastrointestinal function and easy diarrhea should not eat more.
