1. Red dates and other spleen-strengthening sweets:

Sun Simiao, a famous doctor in ancient China, said: "In spring, it is advisable to keep acid and sweeten it to nourish your temper." It means to eat less sour and eat more sweet in spring. Chinese medicine believes that when the liver qi is strong in spring, eating more sour food will make the liver qi excessive and damage the spleen and stomach, so eat less sour food. In spring, people have more outdoor activities than in winter, so they consume more energy and need more calories. But at this time, the spleen and stomach are weak and the digestive ability of gastrointestinal tract is poor, which is not suitable for eating greasy meat. Therefore, heat can be properly supplied by sweets. Jujube is such a good way to replenish spleen in spring.

2. Dear:

Chinese medicine believes that honey is sweet, enters the spleen and stomach, and can replenish the middle energizer, replenish qi and moisten the intestines to relieve constipation. In spring, the climate is changeable, and the weather is hot and cold, which makes people easy to catch a cold. Because honey contains a variety of minerals and vitamins, and has the function of clearing away lung heat and detoxifying, it can enhance human immunity and is the most ideal tonic in spring. Therefore, in spring, if you can drink 1-2 spoonfuls of honey every day, take it with a cup of warm water or add milk, it will have a nourishing effect on your body.

3. Spring Bud:

Eat spring buds in spring. Confucius said "from time to time, don't eat", which means not to eat unless in this season. Huangdi Neijing, a classic work of traditional Chinese medicine, also said that "eating the old valley" means eating seasonal food. In spring, all plants give birth to bright green buds, and there are many edible spring buds, such as Toona sinensis, bean sprouts, garlic sprouts, bean sprouts, lettuce and so on.

4. Leek:

In spring, the climate is warm and cold, so it is necessary to maintain the yang. Leek is most suitable for human yang, and it is known as natural "Viagra". Leek contains essential oil, protein, fat and vitamins, and has the functions of invigorating stomach, refreshing and strengthening kidney. Spring leek is the best among leeks, and it tastes particularly delicious. Its roots are as white as jade, its leaves are as green as jade, and its fragrance is rich. There are many ways to eat spring vegetables, which can be served with meat, eggs, shrimp, cuttlefish and so on. And can also be used as stuffing for steamed stuffed buns and jiaozi. Add some spring leeks when frying mung bean sprouts or dried tofu, which is especially fragrant and delicious.

5. Spring bamboo shoots:

Spring bamboo shoots, known as "the first vegetarian food", have been loved by people as delicious food since ancient times. Scholars and gourmets are amazed at this, and there is a saying that "early adopters are like mushrooms after rain". Spring bamboo shoots are thick, delicious, nutritious and vegetarian. Different practices have different flavors. Stir-frying, stewing, boiling and simmering are all delicious foods. Local famous dishes, such as "dried medlar bamboo shoots" in Shanghai, "dried white feather chicken bamboo shoots" in Nanjing and "dried southern meat bamboo shoots" in Zhejiang, all occupy a place. However, it is difficult to eat fresh bamboo shoots in the north, so just soak them in Fermat forest.

6. Cherry:

Known as "the first branch of spring fruit", it is cultivated all over China. Cherry fruit is plump, delicious, juicy, bright in color and rich in nutrition, and its iron content is particularly prominent, which is more than 20 times that of citrus, pear and apple, ranking first among fruits. Cherry is warm, sweet and slightly sour, and has the effects of nourishing middle jiao, benefiting face, strengthening spleen and appetizing. Eating cherries in spring can make people sweat, benefit qi, dispel wind and penetrate rash. It should be noted that cherries belong to fire and should not be eaten more, and those with yin deficiency and fire are forbidden to eat or eat less. If you can't eat cherries, strawberries are also a good choice.

7. Spinach:

Spinach is a vegetable that is available all year round, but it is better to eat in spring, instead of "autumn spinach" as Zhao Benshan and Song Dandan said. The roots of "Spring Pineapple" are red and green, fresh and abnormal, and the most delicious. Spinach listed in spring is quite beneficial to detoxify and prevent spring dryness. Chinese medicine also believes that spinach is sweet and cool, which can nourish blood and stop bleeding, astringe yin and moisten dryness. Because spinach contains more oxalic acid, which hinders the absorption of calcium and iron, it should be blanched with boiling water before frying.

8. Onions, ginger and garlic:

It is not only a good condiment, but also has important medicinal value, which can stimulate appetite, help Chunyang, and also has the efficacy of sterilization and disease prevention. Spring is the most abundant, tender, fragrant and delicious time of the year. Eating at this time can prevent the most common respiratory infection in spring. Eggs with scallion oil or dipping sauce with scallion oil, which northerners like to eat in spring, are the most nutritious and in line with the solar terms.

2. What sports is suitable for beginning of spring?

Beginning of spring, since spring, everything has revived. At present, it is not suitable for strenuous exercise and sweating from the perspective of TCM health preservation, otherwise it is not conducive to the protection of yang. Health sports experts believe that proper micro-exercise sweating is not only conducive to the rise of yang, but also helps to excrete excess sodium through sweating.

1, TCM: Don't move too much, sweating will damage the yang.

"There is a saying in the theory of Chinese medicine called' Yang in spring and summer, Yin in autumn and winter'." Rui Zhou, a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine at the Center for Disease Prevention of the Affiliated Hospital of Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that after the spring, citizens can gradually increase appropriate slow-paced outdoor activities, such as playing Tai Ji Chuan and taking a walk. "This will help blood circulation and accelerate the circulation of qi and blood." But at the same time, Rui Zhou said that strenuous exercise should not be done in this season, because sweating will consume yang, which is not good for health. In addition, it is not recommended to insist on low-temperature exercise when the weather changes too much or the temperature is too low. "This will not only fail to keep fit, but will easily damage the yang."

2. How to move:

Try to have a gentle rhythm and don't exercise too much. Choose a dry place to exercise.

3. When will it move?

Time should not be too early, exercise is better when the sun comes out in the morning, which is helpful to the rise of human yang.

4, Western medicine: moderate exercise, sweating is more helpful to health.

Niu Guowei, head of the Health Kinematics Group of China Hospital Association and director of the Aerobic Exercise Center of Xiaotangshan Hospital in Beijing, said that in winter, because of the high dietary calories and the cold weather, many people reduce their exercise and get fat easily. "Spring is a very suitable period for proper exercise, which is conducive to good health."

Niu Guowei said that moderate exercise will not cause this problem, given that Chinese medicine says that "exercise perspires, body fluids are discharged, and yang is damaged". "Yang Qi actually exists dynamically in the human body, and there is also a saying that' moving is yang'." He said that in the process of moving, Yang will also rise to make up for the lost part; On the other hand, many dishes are heavy in taste now, and people's salt intake is easy to exceed the standard. Moderate sweating helps the body excrete sodium ions.

Niu Guowei believes that we can achieve our goal through "fragmented micro-motion", that is, to complete a series of simple and tiny motions within the fragmented time.

5. How to move:

The amount of exercise is gradually increasing, which makes the body gradually relieved from the stiff state in winter.

6. When will it move?

You don't have to arrange time specially, you can use the "fragmentation time" such as lunch break and car ride to move.

7. Micro Motion moves like this.

Upper limb movements: arm flexion confrontation, straight arm clamping chair, straight arm abduction, straight arm pressing, etc.

Trunk movement: shoulders around, mouth drooping, head leaning back, etc.

Lower limbs: thigh adduction, knees abduction, leg lifting to strengthen knees, straight leg leg press, etc.
