The liver is an important organ of the human body, which has the functions of regulating qi and blood, helping the spleen and stomach digest food and absorb nutrition, and regulating emotions and qi. Therefore, properly nourishing the liver in spring will bring health and longevity all year round. So, how should we raise the liver in spring? In terms of diet, we should eat more foods that warm and nourish the yang, such as onions, ginger, garlic, leeks and mustard greens. Studies have shown that garlic not only has a strong bactericidal effect, but also can promote metabolism, stimulate appetite, prevent arteriosclerosis and hypertension, and even have the effect of nourishing the brain. Green onions have high nutritional value and can also prevent respiratory and intestinal infectious diseases. In addition, you should eat less cold food in your diet, such as cucumber, water bamboo, lotus root and so on. , so as not to hinder the growth of Yang. In spring, the liver functions vigorously. Eating more sour food will make the liver qi more vigorous, which will lead to the decrease of digestion and absorption ability of the spleen and stomach and affect human health. So eat less sour food to prevent excessive liver qi. Dessert foods should be eaten in spring to strengthen the spleen and stomach, such as jujube, which tastes mild and can nourish blood and strengthen the spleen and stomach. It can be eaten raw and made into jujube porridge, jujube cake and jujube rice. Yam is also a delicious food in spring, which has the functions of invigorating spleen and qi, nourishing lung and yin, tonifying kidney and solidifying essence. Yam can be used as beet such as shredded yam, roasted yam, first-class yam and crystal yam balls, and also as flavor snacks such as yam cakes, yam bean paste buns, yam candied haws and yam sesame shortcakes. You can also make yam porridge and Chinese yam jujube porridge. [Eat more vegetables] After winter, people generally have insufficient intake of vitamins, inorganic salts and trace elements, such as stomatitis, angular stomatitis, glossitis and some skin diseases in spring, all of which are due to nutritional disorders caused by eating less fresh vegetables. Therefore, when spring comes, people must eat more vegetables. There are few fresh vegetables in early spring. At this time, vegetables that are refrigerated, dried, pickled and pickled in winter can come in handy. Such as pickled radish, ginger, onion, cabbage, mustard, pepper, mustard tuber and so on.

[Edit this paragraph] Health characteristics ◆ It is windy in spring, and the common cold is the main factor of exogenous diseases in spring, which may cause various infectious and epidemic diseases, such as cold, diphtheria, scarlet fever, measles, meningitis, chickenpox, tonsillitis and pneumonia. So we should prevent epidemics in spring. ◆ Spring is a season of alternating winter and summer, with cold and warm air competing with each other, warm and cold at first, cloudy and sunny at first, and changeable weather. Climate instability makes people who are sensitive to climate feel a lot of discomfort, so sensitive people should pay attention to their daily lives. ◆ In spring, the liver will be affected and the yang will rise. Liver qi and liver fire often rise with spring, while liver yang is strong, which easily leads to diseases such as hypertension, dizziness and hepatitis. The exuberance of liver qi also makes people's mental mood high and excited, making patients with schizophrenia, mania and other diseases prone to anger, commotion, rage, noise and other States due to weather changes. ◆ The external climate change has a significant impact on human qi and blood: for example, qi and blood are stagnant in cold weather and smooth in hot weather. In spring, the climate gets warmer, the qi and blood activities are also strengthened, and the human metabolism becomes active. Healthy people can adapt to this change quickly, while the infirm, the elderly and children are prone to maladjustment, which makes the old disease relapse or aggravate. Therefore, in the prevention and treatment of diseases in spring, preparations should be made as early as possible.
