1, stay away from diseases and pay attention to taboos.
One bogey: use Jiedu pills to get angry.
"Just arrived in the spring, my oral ulcer has never stopped, and eating Niuhuang Jiedu Pills is not a problem!" Miss Liu complained in dismay. In fact, in the eyes of experts, indiscriminate use of gunpowder when getting angry is the biggest "fire fighting" taboo.
Two taboos: improper "spring cover"
Many people know that spring covers autumn, but there are two extremes in doing it: young people put on their clothes and shoes early by firepower; Old people and children tend to cover their heads, sweat and stubbornly keep their clothes on.
Three bogeys: sleep as soon as you commit "spring sleep"
Under the warm sunshine in spring, human blood vessels dilate and blood flow accelerates, which easily leads to hypoxia in the brain, which in turn leads to "sleepiness". But sleeping when you are sleepy is not good for your health.
Sleeping too long will further reduce cerebral blood flow and inhibit the excitement of cerebral cortex. The more you sleep, the less you wake up, the more tired you will be.
Four bogeys: eating too sour and too spicy.
"Supplementing Yang in spring and summer" is a health-preserving criterion advocated by medical classics such as Huangdi Neijing. In the relationship between five zang-organs and five flavors, sour taste has astringent effect, which is not conducive to the generation of yang qi and the release of liver qi. Eating too sour and spicy will damage the yang.
Five bogeys: use a set of skin care products in the end.
The external environment and skin condition in spring are very different from those in winter. In spring, the dust is flying, the sebaceous glands are exuberant and the ultraviolet content is high. If you use a set of skin care products, it is easy to have allergic reactions and the skin care effect is also discounted.
Six bogeys: doors and windows are closed
In spring, the temperature rises and the humidity increases, and all kinds of bacteria and viruses begin to multiply. If the doors and windows are closed for a long time, or the air circulation is not good, it will easily lead to a cold epidemic and a high incidence of infectious diseases.
Seven bogeys: stay at home and don't go out.
In winter, rest is emphasized, but in spring, it is the opposite. If you want to move, you will raise your yang, because "moving will raise your yang." After the harvest season in winter and March, people should do more outdoor activities, which is very beneficial to health.
Eight taboos: depression, ups and downs
Replenishing yang in spring is very important for nourishing liver, and regulating mood is an important part of nourishing liver in traditional Chinese medicine. If you are depressed all day, it will easily lead to stagnation of liver qi and diarrhea. If you are too angry or excited, it will also do great harm to cerebrovascular diseases.
The above are some taboos that Bian Xiao introduced to stay away from diseases. So how can we eat spicy food in spring?
2, five tricks to teach you to eat spicy food healthily
First, cooking precautions
If you have put pepper in the dish, don't put pepper, aniseed, cinnamon and other spicy spices, otherwise it will be easier to get angry when you "heat up".
Before cooking, you can soak peppers in vinegar for a while, or add vinegar when cooking spicy dishes, which can also alleviate the fire.
Second, the combination of ingredients is very important.
Eating spicy food with some cool food can play the role of "neutralization" and clear away heat and fire.
Duck, fish, bitter gourd, lotus root, water chestnut, tofu and lettuce are all cold foods, which can clear away heat and produce fluid, nourish yin and reduce dryness, and are the best partners for spicy dishes.
Third, the staple food is best to choose coarse grains.
Because it is rich in dietary fiber, it can prevent constipation caused by gastrointestinal dryness and heat.
Corn or sweet potato are both good choices. In addition, coix seed can also be dried, and the effect is more obvious if it is supplemented with lily porridge.
Fourth, drink plenty of water or soup when eating spicy food.
Eating spicy food is easy to cause symptoms such as dry throat and cleft lip, and more attention should be paid to supplementing water.
Chrysanthemum tea and sour plum soup are the best "fire extinguishers". Drinking a cup of yogurt or milk can not only relieve the spicy taste, but also clear away the heat.
Fifth, it is best to eat more sour fruits after eating spicy food.
They contain tannic acid and dietary fiber, which can stimulate the secretion of digestive juice, accelerate gastrointestinal peristalsis and help nourish yin and moisten dryness.
Hawthorn, grapefruit, citrus, apple and pear are all good.
Summary: The above small series introduces eight taboos for preventing diseases in spring, such as closed doors and windows, depressed mood, eating too sour and spicy, etc. I hope everyone can remember these points and take precautions!
