So how can we maintain ourselves in this festival? Lotus leaf health has summarized several methods for everyone.
Rain should be "covered by spring"
The rainy season is still in early spring, and the warming of the weather is a gradual process. The temperature is hot and cold, so it won't suddenly become as warm as spring. So don't worry about cutting clothes, lest the temperature change cause a cold.
According to Sun Simiao's "A Thousand Women's Children", clothes should be thick under the spring and thin on the spring. After all, "cold starts from the feet." Protecting your legs and feet is also good for your health and preventing diseases.
Rain should nourish the liver and spleen.
As I said before, the solar term temperature of rain is still cold. Although the weather is getting warmer on the whole, it is still some time before it really gets warmer. After the rain, the precipitation will increase, and we can feel the breath of everything. At this time, people's yang will also rise.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the rise of yang mainly corresponds to the liver and is closely related to the spleen. Health care often advises people to regulate the liver and spleen, so that liver qi can be relaxed and smooth, and human qi and blood can be smooth.
In the usual diet, you can eat more foods that nourish the liver and strengthen the spleen, such as yam, taro, coix seed, millet, green leafy vegetables, pig liver and so on. The weather becomes warm, windy and dry after the rain, and it is colder in the morning and evening. Diet should be less sour and more sweet. You can choose leek, lily, yam, water chestnut and so on.
Moreover, this time is suitable for drinking porridge, which can be cooked with Euryale ferox, lotus seeds and yam to achieve the effect of strengthening the spleen and promoting diuresis; You can also eat juicy fruits and vegetables such as green leafy vegetables and oranges in your diet to nourish your stomach.
