1, Diet: Have some sweets?
Eating stove candy in off-year is not only a dietary custom, but also a way to keep healthy in the season. Sun Simiao, a famous doctor in the Tang Dynasty, said: "It is advisable to keep sour and sweeten in spring to nourish the temper." It means that when spring comes, people should eat less sour and more sweet, which has the benefits of strengthening the spleen and stomach. ?
2, life: cleaning items?
Wu Guozhong, a well-known TCM health expert, said that according to TCM theory, a person's body surface has a layer of defensive qi. This layer of defensive qi is very important for preventing diseases. Before and after the off-year, the human body's yang is weakened, the body's surface health is insufficient, and it relaxes at room temperature. At this time, the body surface hygiene is not good, and diseases are easy to enter the human body. ?
Therefore, cleaning the bedding, pillow towel and underwear before and after the new year can reduce the existence of pathogenic factors and reduce the burden on the body surface, which is worth popularizing. ?
3. Psychology: Quiet?
Off-year is a lively time for family reunion, so it is natural to be happy. At this time, it has entered the spring, liver yang and liver fire are rising, and the demand is released appropriately. The liver likes to relieve depression, and anger and anger can easily lead to liver depression and qi stagnation, leading to various liver diseases.
When things go wrong, you should learn to control bad emotions. You can vent your depressed bad emotions in an appropriate way to keep your mind calm. At the same time, we should get more sunshine.
