Spring is cold and warm, the climate is changeable, and the human body's texture is gradually stretched, which makes it easy to feel foreign evils and cause diseases. Therefore, it is not advisable to take off your clothes in a hurry when the weather is slightly hot, so as to prevent the invasion of foreign evils and reduce the occurrence of diseases.
Early spring health should be properly "covered in spring"
Health experts believe that in early spring, conforming to the laws of nature, properly covering the spring, adjusting daily life and diet, increasing outdoor exercise and going to public places less can play a very good role in health and disease prevention.
According to experts, there has always been a saying of "spring cover" among the people. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, "spring covering" is not only to meet the health needs of yang, but also to prevent diseases from self-care. Legs and feet are easily overlooked in "Spring Covering". In fact, the human body has poor blood circulation in the lower body and is vulnerable to cold, especially the elderly and children with weak resistance. After catching cold, it will hurt the lungs and easily lead to diseases such as colds and asthma.
Second, everything is revived to prevent the plague.
When winter goes and spring comes, the yang rises, which often leads to the recurrence of old diseases and the spread of various viruses and bacteria, such as influenza, meningitis, whooping cough, measles, diphtheria and mumps. Therefore, it is necessary to adapt to climate change, pay attention to cold prevention and physical exercise, and enhance disease resistance.
To this end:
(1). Keep the living and working environment ventilated, and open the doors and windows regularly for ventilation.
(2) Go to crowded public places less.
(3) Pay attention to personal hygiene, wash your hands frequently, and pay attention to cold and warmth according to weather changes, pay attention to personal nutrition and proper rest, enhance immunity and prevent various diseases.
(4) Find symptoms such as cold, fever and cough, and go to the hospital in time. Atypical pneumonia is not terrible. As long as attention is paid to prevention and timely treatment, it can be well controlled.
Third, appropriately increase the amount of activities.
In spring, birds and flowers are fragrant and full of vitality. After the collection season in winter and March, people should do more outdoor activities and go for a spring outing in the beautiful suburbs, which can make people feel comfortable and open-minded, which is very beneficial to health. Experts remind that you should exercise outdoors more in spring, but in early spring, the functions of various organs of the body are still at a low level, so it is not suitable for intense and long-term exercise. Some outdoor activities with slow pace and little exercise are more suitable for early spring, such as jogging, walking and flying kites. Dry your sweat immediately after exercise to prevent catching a cold.
Moderate exercise in spring.
Different from other seasons, spring exercise needs to go into nature, starting with soothing exercise and paying attention to maintenance.
When walking, it's best to choose after sunrise or sunset, without any form, not too fast, just let nature take its course and not be tired. Taking a deep breath while walking can refresh the spirit, excite the brain and make the lower limbs full of vitality, especially suitable for middle-aged and elderly people and young people with good physique.
Jogging is the most common and practical exercise in spring, which has a good effect on improving cardiopulmonary function, reducing blood lipid, improving metabolism, enhancing immunity and delaying aging.
Fourth, diet is more important.
Chinese medicine literature records: in spring, the taste should be reduced to sour and sweet to nourish the temper. Don't drink too much, lest you hurt your spleen and stomach. Therefore, people's diet should be sweet and less sour. Old people and children should eat more digestible food for their health.
Experts suggest eating more leeks and spinach.
Spring is the time when the liver is strong, so we should eat less dry food such as meat dishes, beef and mutton, otherwise it will make the liver fire stronger and hurt the spleen and stomach. At this time, you should eat more sweet foods, such as leeks. Fruits, edible fungi, fish, cabbage, honey, jujube and other foods rich in vitamins are also foods that should be eaten frequently in spring.
Five, warm spring bloom should be tonic.
In spring, because of its vitality, the human body's demand for nutrition also increases. Especially for people who are about to recover from a long illness, those who are weak after illness, and those who are too deficient in qi and blood after surgery, it is of great benefit to take some supplements at this time.
Health care, nourishing and protecting the liver is the first priority.
(1) Drink plenty of water to reduce the damage of toxins to the liver: the weather in early spring is cold and dry, and it is easy to lack water. Drinking plenty of water can replenish body fluids, enhance blood circulation and promote metabolism. Drinking plenty of water can also promote the secretion of glands, especially digestive glands, pancreatic juice and bile, so as to facilitate digestion, absorption and waste elimination and reduce the damage of metabolites and toxins to the liver.
(2) A balanced diet ensures the normal operation of liver function: don't overeat or starve frequently. This kind of hungry and unbalanced diet habit will cause abnormal secretion of digestive juice and lead to liver dysfunction. Therefore, the spring diet should be balanced, and the protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals in food should be kept in corresponding proportions; At the same time, we must keep the five flavors unbiased; Try to eat less spicy food and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits.
(3) Less drinking is beneficial to the rise of liver yang: cold in early spring is strong, and a small amount of drinking is beneficial to dredging menstruation, promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis and increasing liver yang. But don't drink too much, because the liver's ability to metabolize alcohol is limited, and drinking too much will hurt the liver. According to medical research, a healthy person weighing 60 kilograms can only metabolize 60 grams of alcohol every day. If it exceeds the limit, it will affect the health of the liver and even cause alcoholism, which is life-threatening. Optimism and cheerfulness-conducive to the growth of liver qi and emotional stability, optimism makes people healthy. Because the liver likes depression, anger and anger can easily lead to stagnation of liver qi and blood and become a disease. If you want to have a strong liver, you must first learn to control your anger, even if you are angry, don't be angry for more than 3 minutes. You should try to be calm and optimistic, so that the liver fire can be extinguished and the liver qi can grow normally and smoothly. If you violate this natural law, it will hurt the liver qi, and over time, it will easily lead to liver disease.
(4) Moderate exercise promotes smooth liver qi and blood: Spring is a good time for all things to germinate and a golden season for physical exercise. Outdoor activities suitable for the season in spring, such as walking, jogging, ball games, playing Tai Ji Chuan, etc., can not only make the human body's qi and blood smooth, bring forth the old and strengthen the body, but also nourish the liver and achieve the purpose of protecting the liver and protecting health.
(5) Loose clothing is conducive to the smooth flow of liver qi and blood: hair grows in spring, and so does the human body. The ancients said: loose clothes, loose hair, stretch the body, blood will not accumulate. Liver qi and blood are unobstructed, and the body is bound to be strong.
6. Go to bed early and get up early, and don't like sleeping.
Go to bed early and get up early in spring, and don't fall in love with bed, lest you get sleepy after sleeping for a long time. Especially for the elderly, sleeping too long in spring is easy to accelerate the formation of cerebral thrombosis.
Have a good sleep in early spring
(1) Don't miss the chance to sleep. At night, the human body enters a state of relaxation. Generally, the ideal bedtime is 1 1 to 12 in the evening. Even if you sleep late occasionally, it's best not to exceed 1 or 2 o'clock.
(2) Choose a good pillow for yourself. The sleep state is periodic. Pillows are very important for the initial deep sleep. The ideal pillow can keep the natural curve between the neck and the head without putting pressure on the neck.
(3) The time zone of waking up affects the spirit. After getting up, the sleep cycle from deep sleep to light sleep is usually 90 minutes. If you choose to get up at light sleep time, your spirit will be more refreshed. Therefore, setting the alarm clock at a multiple of 90 minutes plus the time required to fall asleep is the ideal time to get up.
(4) Don't forget to wind up your brain after getting up. Drinking a cup of cold boiled water, or taking a hot bath and doing simple gymnastics will help your brain to clear up. In addition, eating sweets helps to improve the blood sugar that falls during sleep, and also has a refreshing effect.
Seven, sexual control is not excessive.
When spring comes, everything revives and grows. For people, sexual desire and sexual ability also tend to increase. Therefore, excessive sexual intercourse due to excitement should be avoided, otherwise it will be harmful to health.
Eight, smile often and be in good spirits.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, among the five elements of "golden wood, fire, water and earth", spring belongs to wood and liver belongs to wood. The physical property of wood is hair growth, and so does the liver. Therefore, emotionally speaking, it is beneficial to the liver to greet the bright spring with a clear mind.
However, people's spiritual activities must adapt to the climate change, and the time when the human body is most affected by the seasons is the season transition period, especially at the turn of winter and spring.
Nine, fruits and vegetables help you resist "spring sleep"
In spring, human metabolism begins to flourish, which is suitable for light diet. It is best to choose warm food and eat less spicy, irritating, greasy and sour food.
Experts explained that in the relationship between five zang-organs and five flavors, sour taste has astringent effect, which is not conducive to the growth of Yang Qi and the release of liver qi. Because the human body is in an acidic environment and vitamin intake is insufficient, it is prone to "spring sleepiness", so eating more fresh fruits and vegetables can not only neutralize acidic products, but also supplement vitamins, which is very effective in preventing "spring sleepiness".
