IN THIS ARTICLE: Spring is a season of revival and vitality, and it is also a sunny season. Chinese medicine believes that every season has the most suitable food, and eating it in moderation can play a very good health care role. What is the best food for keeping in good health in spring?

The temperature in spring is changeable and unstable, so the diet and daily life in this period should be adjusted reasonably, and the diet is summarized as three appropriateness and three taboos. In spring, the weather gets warmer, the human body loses a lot of water, and the weather is changeable, which can't keep the balance and stability of human metabolism. Let me explain something about spring diet to you!

1, spring diet should be balanced.

In spring, the human body consumes a lot of energy. At this time, the demand for protein, sugar, carbohydrates, vitamins and so on is very great. Therefore, the diet must be arranged reasonably, with balanced nutrition as the mainstay and no partial eclipse. In addition to staple food and miscellaneous grains, you can also add some soy products and dairy products.

2. Vegetables should be diversified in spring.

Vegetables have always been recognized as healthy vegetables. Vegetables have no fat content, and meat has no parasites and bacteria. Vegetables also contain a lot of vitamins and trace elements, which are rare nutritional supplements for human body. Eat more seasonal, fragrant and colorful vegetables in spring, such as carrots, Chinese cabbage, spinach, parsley and celery.

3, the spring diet should be light.

An important aspect of diet is lightness. Light food is easy to digest, and the human body absorbs nutrients more easily. In spring, people often feel dry skin, dry mouth and excessive internal heat. At this time, they will adjust their diet more and give priority to light food. Too greasy and spicy food will only aggravate the excessive internal heat in spring and affect the absorption of nutrients.

4. Avoid cold food in spring.

Although the temperature is warm in spring, it is best not to eat too benign food, otherwise it will easily cause gastrointestinal discomfort and diarrhea. In spring, the overall immunity of the human body decreases, and things that are too cold stimulate the stomach and are harmful to the human body.

5. Avoid spicy food in spring.

Spicy food has the function of keeping warm and keeping out the cold, and is suitable for eating in winter. Eating spicy food in spring will make the fire in the human body strong, leading to constipation and sores on the mouth. Therefore, a healthy diet in spring must avoid spicy food.

6. Avoid greasy food in spring.

In winter, people are used to eating greasy food such as big fish and big meat, but in spring, some people still keep their eating habits in winter, which is not conducive to human health, because greasy food contains a lot of animal fat, which is difficult for human stomach to digest and absorb, and nutrients cannot be absorbed, let alone talk about eating and keeping in good health in spring.

Common sense of spring diet

A year's plan lies in spring, which is not only a critical period for planning life and work, but also a rare time for keeping fit and increasing physical fitness.

It is said that illness comes from the mouth, so spring health care should first start with diet. The following common sense should be paid attention to in your spring diet and should not be underestimated.

Generally speaking, spring is a warm season. We don't need to eat as much as in winter to keep out the cold. In spring, the staple food must be eaten in moderation. After eating, it will give the stomach too much burden, which will easily lead to indigestion, which will lead to gastrointestinal problems such as bloating and constipation. You can eat eight full meals. Without the burden of indigestion, people's overall mental state is better.

Second, the spring diet should pay attention to adding more water.

Water is one of the most important components in the human body. Without water, there is no life. In spring, people often have dry mouth and peeling, oral ulcers, dry hands and face, etc. These are all due to the relatively dry spring, and the human body needs a lot of water. Once the water in the body is low, the above situation will occur. Therefore, it is a good choice to eat more fruits and vegetables in spring, such as broccoli, tomatoes, spinach, cucumbers, apples, pears and strawberries.

Third, the spring diet should be balanced in nutrition, mainly to protect internal organs.

The temperature is suitable in spring, which is the time when bacteria multiply, multiply and spread rapidly. It is necessary to balance nutrition and improve immunity. For example, fungi, fish, bean products and milk can supplement enough protein and dietary fiber to improve human immune function. In spring, in order to prevent bacterial invasion, the burden of liver detoxification is particularly heavy, so the spring diet should protect the liver. Liver-protecting food must be easy to digest, with high content of vitamins and protein, and the food itself should have the function of detoxifying and clearing away heat. For example: fungus, mushrooms, kelp, celery, wax gourd, mung bean, lean meat, pork loin, crucian carp and so on.

Finally, we must pay attention to the cleanliness of ingredients in the spring diet. Many vegetables on the market are not low in pesticide content. Therefore, a fresh and delicious dish must be soaked in salt water for at least 15 minutes before disinfection. This is the most basic guarantee for spring health!

Seven principles of diet conditioning in spring

In spring, everything recovers, the yang rises, and the poison of internal heat accumulated in human viscera begins to dry up in spring, leading to symptoms such as liver fire, body inflammation, oral ulcer, sore throat, constipation and pigmentation. Coupled with the warmer weather in spring, the human body loses a lot of water, and the weather is changeable, which cannot maintain the balance and stability of human metabolism.

Seven principles of diet conditioning in spring

(1), light diet-eliminating spring fire

In spring, people are prone to get angry, with yellow tongue coating, bitter taste and dry throat, so the diet should be light and avoid greasy, cold and irritating food. People with obvious symptoms of excessive internal heat can eat some foods that can clear the fire, such as mung bean soup, honeysuckle tea, chrysanthemum tea and lotus plumule soaked in water.

(2) The product of Xin Gan-helping Chunyang

Slightly spicy things, such as onions, ginger, leeks, garlic sprouts and so on. Are all foods that nourish spring. There is a saying in the Tang Dynasty Fang that "it is easy to eat leeks in February and March". Eating these foods in spring is good for human yang.

3, less acid and more sweet-protect the spleen and stomach

Chinese medicine believes that the liver, one of the five internal organs of the human body, should eat food with stimulating temperature rise in season, while cold and sticky food should be eaten less to avoid hurting the spleen and stomach. Therefore, it is advisable to eat more sweets and less sour food in spring.

(4), yellow and green vegetables-to prevent the spring.

"Spring Sleepiness" makes people tired and depressed. Eat more red, yellow and dark green vegetables, such as carrots, pumpkins, tomatoes, green peppers, celery, etc., which is very beneficial to restore energy and eliminate spring sleep.

⑤ Choose food carefully-get sick less.

After the temperature rises gradually in spring, bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms also begin to multiply in large numbers, and their vitality is enhanced, which is easy to invade the human body and cause diseases. Therefore, you should take enough vitamins and minerals in your diet.

Fresh vegetables such as cabbage, kale and broccoli, and fruits such as citrus and lemon are rich in vitamin C and have antiviral effects. Yellow-green vegetables such as carrots and spinach are rich in vitamin A, which can protect and strengthen epithelial cells of upper respiratory mucosa and respiratory organs, thus resisting various pathogenic factors.

6, gastrointestinal diseases-be careful.

Diseases such as gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer are prone to occur in spring. In diet, we should avoid taking broth, chicken soup, fish soup, animal offal and irritating condiments rich in creatine, purine base and other substances, because these foods have a strong role in stimulating gastric juice secretion or forming gas to produce abdominal distension, which will increase the gastrointestinal burden.

⑦. Eliminating phlegm and nourishing lung-keeping safe.

Chronic bronchitis and bronchitis are also easy to attack in spring. It is advisable to eat more foods with expectorant, spleen-invigorating, kidney-tonifying and lung-nourishing functions, such as loquat, orange, pear, walnut and honey, which will help relieve symptoms.

Conclusion: Spring is the first of the four seasons, and it is particularly important to keep in good health in spring. Health preservation includes exercise, massage, Chinese medicine tonic, diet and so on. The above is the knowledge about diet introduced to you. I hope everyone will take more exercise at ordinary times and have a healthy spring!
