Spring is coming, the weather is getting warmer, and the activities of various human systems are beginning to strengthen. At this time, we should pay more attention to health care, lay a good foundation for good working conditions, and avoid the "spring sleep" affecting efficiency. Health care is a long-term work, and we should pay more attention to it for a long time in order to form a virtuous circle and get a healthy body.

Spring is a windy and dry season, and the weather is getting warmer, but it is also a season with frequent diseases. Spring health care should start with daily life, exercise, diet and so on. Here is a brief introduction to the places that need attention.

Life needs "eight supports"

First of all, when talking about being alive, we should achieve eight nourishment, that is, we should pay attention to yin, yang, qi, brain, spleen, stomach, kidney and heat at the same time.

1 Yang Yang

Spring and summer is the time when the natural temperature rises and the yang is gradually flourishing. At this time, health care should be based on nourishing yang to adapt to seasonal changes. According to the characteristics of hair growth of human yang in spring, you can choose a diet that is flat and clear. Tonic diet is suitable for normal people and people with weak constitution, such as buckwheat, coix seed, soybean milk, apples and sesame seeds. Qing Bu diet refers to the diet cooked with raw and cold food, such as mung bean, pear, lotus root, shepherd's purse and lily.

2 nourishing yin

Yin deficiency and gastroduodenal ulcer are easy to attack in spring. Honey therapy can be used in diet. Honey is steamed with water before meals and taken on an empty stomach, daily 100 ml, and taken in three times. Or use 250ml of milk, boil, add 50g of honey and 6g of bletilla striata, and mix well to drink. These all have the effect of nourishing yin and benefiting the stomach. People with yin deficiency and internal heat can choose rice porridge, red bean porridge, lotus seed porridge, green vegetable paste and other foods. Do not eat sweets, greasy, fried, greasy, cold and rough food.

3 invigorating qi

Chronic bronchitis in the elderly is also easy to attack in spring. Sun-yang rises in spring, so does the human body's sun-yang. In order to help Yang, we should pay attention to our diet. You can often eat onions, coriander (also known as coriander), black beans, dates, stilbene and so on. And eat more foods that have the functions of resolving phlegm, invigorating spleen, tonifying kidney and nourishing lung, such as loquat, pear, lotus seed, lily and jujube.

4 brain-strengthening

In spring, people with hyperactivity of liver yang are prone to headache and dizziness, which is the reason why Chinese medicine says that "all diseases are in the head in spring". The diet prevention method is to eat 250-500g bananas or oranges every day; Or use banana peel 100g, take it with water instead of tea, and drink it often. You can also use 250g celery and 10 red dates to fry instead of tea.

Step 5 strengthen the spleen

Chinese medicine believes that "spring should be sour and sweet to nourish the temper". This is because the liver depression will affect the spleen in spring, so the spleen and stomach are weak in spring, and eating more sour food will make the liver yang excited. Therefore, the spring diet should choose spicy and warm food, avoid acidity, and eat more vegetables and wild vegetables.

6 nourishing stomach

Avoid pork soup, chicken soup, fish soup, beef soup, spinach, beans, animal offal and irritating condiments rich in creatine and chlorhexidine. Because these foods have a strong stimulating effect on the secretion of gastric juice, they are also easy to form gas, leading to bloating and increasing the burden on the stomach. The diet should be light and easy to digest, and the above honey therapy should be adopted.

7 nourishing kidney

Comfortable weather in spring is a good opportunity for patients with poor renal function to nourish and recuperate their kidneys. At this time, taking Bushen recipe and Bushen medicated diet has a high curative effect on early renal function damage. Patients should pay attention to spring life conditioning, light and sweet diet. You can eat light fruits and vegetables, such as mangosteen, lotus root, coix seed, cucumber and cantaloupe.

Increase "heat"

It is still cold in early spring. Cold stimulates the thyroid gland, which can cause hyperthyroidism, consume calories and weaken human endurance and resistance. On the other hand, the human body needs to consume calories to stabilize the basal body temperature to keep out the cold. Therefore, the diet structure in early spring should be

Finally, talk about diet. In spring, the liver should be nourished first, because the liver is the metabolic core and "detoxification factory" of the human body. It is not only a "loyal minister" who protects the human body, but also a "weak person" who needs to be taken care of. Therefore, the diet in spring should conform to the characteristics of cold in spring and warm at first, and play a role in warming the body. Second, let nutrition meet the body's metabolic needs and avoid creating too much load and garbage for the liver. To put it simply, we should start from the following five aspects, especially to ensure "four ones" every day.

Control food intake

Seven points full, eat less at dinner, and don't eat snacks before going to bed. This is the principle of preserving health and protecting the liver in spring.

Eat high-quality protein every day to ensure "four ones".

The so-called "four ones" refers to a bag of skim milk (250ml), a boiled egg, one or two bean products and one or two lean meats. Steaming fish 2~3 times a week (each time 150~200g) can increase the intake of high-quality protein.

Eat more fruits and vegetables and less sweets.

While restricting sweets, add 500 grams of vegetables and 2 fruits.

Extremely obese

Use no more than 25g(2.5 tablespoons) of oil every day, and do not eat meat oil, fat, fried food or foods with high cholesterol (such as egg yolk, animal liver, roe and crab roe). At the same time, consciously eat some foods that can regulate blood lipids, such as oats, corn, kelp, garlic, apples, onions, sweet potatoes, carrots, celery, cauliflower, edible fungi, Shan Ye plants, lemons and so on. It is also wise to nourish the liver in spring.
