1. Pay attention to three symptoms in spring health care.
Spring is the transition season of East Asian atmospheric circulation from winter circulation to summer circulation. Chinese medicine reminds that the weather in spring is changeable, sometimes sunny and sometimes rainy, suddenly hot and suddenly cold, so it is prone to the "three diseases" of spring sleepiness, spring cough and spring itching. Let's learn about the "three major diseases" of the human body in spring.
First, spring sleep
Because spring is the period when the temperature rises the most, when the weather suddenly becomes warm and hot, the capillaries and pores of human skin will obviously relax, and the blood circulation on the body surface will become vigorous, which will make the blood flow to the brain relatively less than that in winter, thus reducing the oxygen supply to the brain. The human body can't adapt to these changes for a while, so it is prone to spring sleep.
In spring, the days are long and the nights are short, so people's sleep time is relatively shortened, which makes people feel tired. To overcome the "spring sleep", Chinese medicine reminds that the pace of life should be regular, you can't stay up for three days, and you can't go to bed early or late. Avoid overeating, and don't eat too much for three meals a day, otherwise the stomach will be over-inflated, and people will be easily sleepy.
Second, cough in spring
Cough in spring is more common in spring because temperature changes invade the human body and belong to exogenous diseases. However, if it is not treated in time, it will gradually consume the healthy qi of the human body, and the condition will change from exogenous cough to internal cough, which will prolong the course of the patient and make the condition more serious.
To prevent coughing, first of all, we should pay attention to the change of the weather, and don't take off your clothes too quickly. For busy people, reduce the degree of work fatigue, go to bed early and get up early to enhance the body's resistance and prevent upper respiratory tract inflammation. People with heavy tastes should eat less spicy food, such as hot pot barbecue, keep a light diet and eat more vegetables.
Third, spring itching
The main symptoms of "itch in spring" are erythema, millet-sized rash or mild desquamation on the skin of exposed parts such as face and back of hand, and even blisters in severe cases. In addition, due to the climate change in spring and summer, allergic substances such as bacterial spores and pollen are scattered in the air. Some people with allergic skin will appear abnormal phenomena such as redness, itching, peeling and allergic dermatitis when they come into contact with pollen, certain foods and polluted air.
To prevent itching in spring, contact with allergens should be avoided. People with allergies rarely go to parks and other places with more pollen and catkins. Ensure sleep and regular life. It is best to keep exercising, which can improve blood circulation and enhance skin resistance. Pay attention to a balanced diet, eat more fruits and vegetables, and eat less fish and shrimp, beef and mutton and greasy and irritating food. Vitamin C is a natural antihistamine and should be taken from the diet every day.
In view of the fact that the "three diseases" in spring are the temporary disorder of human physiological functions caused by the change of seasonal climate, according to the close relationship between human muscle and skin and human internal organs in traditional Chinese medicine, people should not only observe the schedule of work and rest, but also actively participate in various physical exercises to increase human respiratory and metabolic functions and accelerate internal circulation.
2. Four points of spring health preservation
First of all, the law of life
When spring comes, the skin stretches, the peripheral blood supply increases, the sweat gland secretion also increases, and the load of various organs of the body increases, while the central nervous system has a sedative and hypnotic effect, and the limbs feel sleepy. Don't covet to sleep late at this time, because it is not conducive to the rise of yang. In order to adapt to this climate change, we should go to bed early and get up early in our daily life, often go for a walk outdoors, along tree-lined paths, and blend in with nature in the Woods.
The climate in spring is changeable, sometimes cold and sometimes warm. At the same time, the human skin is slack and the resistance to the outside world is weakened. Therefore, when spring comes, don't take off your thick clothes at once, especially those who are physically weak.
Second, diet aftercare
In spring, human metabolism begins to flourish, and the diet should be spicy, sweet and mild.
Spring diet should avoid eating greasy and cold food, and eat more foods rich in vitamin B and fresh vegetables. Modern medical research believes that overeating and vitamin B deficiency are one of the reasons for sleepiness in spring.
Spring is a time when the liver is flourishing. Eating more acidic food will make the liver fire stronger and damage the spleen and stomach. You should eat more sweet foods rich in protein, sugar, vitamins and minerals, such as lean meat, eggs, milk, honey, bean products, fresh vegetables and fruits.
Third, the spirit of lifting feet.
People's spiritual activities must adapt to climate change. The human body is most affected by the seasons, especially at the turn of winter and spring. Some people can't adapt to the climate change in spring and are prone to mental illness. Modern medical research shows that bad mood can easily lead to stagnation of liver-qi, dysfunction of neuroendocrine system and decline of immune function, which can easily lead to psychosis, liver disease, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and infectious diseases. Therefore, in spring, we should pay attention to emotional health, maintain an optimistic and cheerful mood, make the liver qi unobstructed, and play a role in disease prevention and health care.
Spring and March are the seasons when everything begins to flourish. At this time, we should try to avoid being angry, not depressed, and be open-minded and optimistic. The body should be relaxed, comfortable, natural and full of vitality.
Fourth, exercise and maintenance.
After entering the spring, we should adapt to the characteristics of rising yang and strengthen physical exercise. We can go running, boxing, doing exercises, walking, playing ball games and flying kites in the fresh air, so as to let our bodies get rid of the old and welcome the new, stretch our bones and muscles, and lay a good healthy foundation for one year's work and study. Practice has proved that people who often take part in exercise in spring have strong disease resistance, quick thinking, anti-fatigue and high efficiency.
