Why should we raise the liver in spring?
Why should spring health care focus on nourishing the liver?

Because the five elements in spring belong to wood, and the liver in the five internal organs of the human body also belongs to wood, so the spring air passes through the liver. Therefore, the liver qi of the human body is vigorous in spring, so the spirit of the human body is radiant. Keep your liver healthy in spring and get sick less in summer.

The theory of TCM health preservation holds that "spring corresponds to liver", that is to say, the climate characteristics of spring are closely related to human liver. In early spring, nourishing and protecting the liver should start with diet and other aspects.

Spring diet should be chosen according to personal physique, and ordinary healthy people do not advocate a lot of tonic. People who are particularly weak can eat supplements such as sea cucumber and cordyceps sinensis in moderation.

For healthy people, we should pay attention to a light diet in spring and don't overeat dry and spicy food.

At the same time, due to the rising of yang at this time, it is easy to hurt yin, so we should pay special attention to nourishing yin, and we can choose more foods such as lily, yam, lotus seeds and medlar.
