The Spring Festival, as its name implies, is a festival of changing seasons in winter and spring, but when winter goes and spring comes, cold words warm the body. Although it is gratifying, it is also a time to get sick easily. Because of the germination of spring, the budding things at that time include not only our spirit, but also those evil spirits inside and outside the body. Therefore, instead of leaving your body with small problems such as bitter mouth and dry tongue and persistent cough and cold, it is better to take care of your body now.
As the saying goes, "It's warm before spring, and like a tiger after spring." So how can we make up for it before spring comes? The answer is simple. The key lies in "nourishing the spleen"
Before the arrival of winter, everyone is most concerned about tonifying the kidney, because winter belongs to water, and the waterline corresponds to the way of kidney. Therefore, tonifying the kidney in winter can take advantage of the seasonal nature to improve the efficiency of aftercare. But now that spring is coming, why should we turn to invigorating the spleen? Regarding this answer, Lingshu said: "Spleen is also soil. To rule the central government, it is often four days long and four dirty, and it is sent to the government on the 18 th, and it is not allowed to be alone. "
It means that the spleen belongs to the earth and is located in the center of the human body, so it is mainly responsible for coordinating with the heart, liver, lungs and kidneys of the season when the seasons alternate.
Therefore, on the first18th day of each season, this spleen will begin to be responsible for the handover of the four viscera. Now that winter has gone and spring has come, this spleen will naturally help the liver to replace the kidney.
Therefore, for example, the eighteen days before and after the Spring Festival this year is the time to treat the kidney and strengthen the spleen, but now many people often have physical problems before the Spring Festival, which is probably caused by insufficient spleen and soil.
Therefore, the spleen is strong, and the body will be smoother in tonic and operation, so Lingshu also said: "The spleen is the official of the viscera." Just like transporting troops to fight, if the rear supply is insufficient, it is difficult for the generals in front to change the situation no matter how brave they are. Therefore, at this time, we should not only fill this small warehouse in our bodies, but also take advantage of the days when spring has not come in the future to recuperate our spleen and stomach.
It was cold in late winter, and Yin Qi suddenly appeared. Although Yang Qi in nature and human body will sprout a little at this time, it is still Yin Qi's world, so the game of winter restraint in Yang Qi is still going on as usual. Although it is still not good news, it is also a good opportunity to adjust and nourish. So where do you start to replenish the spleen? Start with eating, breathing and sleeping, and get it done in three ways!
Feeding: yam
Regarding what to eat in different seasons, Mr. Luo Dalun, a teacher of traditional Chinese medicine, once suggested that it is best to eat yam, especially the yam produced in Hu Aishan, and the effect is better. Teacher Luo Dalun said, "Yam is white in lung and white in color. It enters the lung meridian and greatly tonifies lung qi. It tastes sweet when cooked, belonging to the spleen and entering the spleen meridian. Its juice is very thick and can tonify the kidney. Both lung, spleen and kidney are supplemented. "
Recently, the reason why we have repeatedly advised everyone to eat more yam is in this passage. First of all, yam is produced in all seasons, plus the nourishing nature of last winter and the divergence of spring. At this time, eating yam can give full play to its nourishing power.
There is also a very important reason: yam is the only ingredient that can nourish the spleen and lung, which is equivalent to our immunity. Changing seasons is a season of high incidence of diseases, and now the epidemic situation is rising again and again. At this time, I am also going to eat yam often, which is most suitable for friends who are weak and prone to illness in different seasons.
In addition, we can refer to the practice of Zhang Xichun, a great doctor in the Republic of China. In his book The Enthusiasm of Western Medicine, yam and Endothelium Corneum Gigeriae Galli are often used together, either made into porridge or ground into powder and swallowed with water. However, chicken's gizzard-membrane is taken from chicken's spleen after all. Although the effect of invigorating spleen is excellent, its smell will make you feel fishy and bitter.
Therefore, this paper shares a golden steamed bread with excellent taste of chicken and yam, which can dredge without hurting the spleen and stomach. The main raw materials are endothelium corneum Gigeriae Galli, wheat flour, yam flour and sesame.
The method of this steamed bread is very simple: prepare chicken gizzard-membrane, yam powder, black sesame seeds, white sesame seeds and salt. Wash the basin, pour in wheat flour and yam flour, then pour in crushed chicken gizzard-membrane powder, add two handfuls of sesame seeds and a spoonful of salt. Mix all the ingredients in the basin evenly, add appropriate amount of water, knead into dough, let stand for 20 minutes, and cut into noodles of the same size.
Just like pancakes, you can roll them into pieces, then preheat them in an electric baking pan, and put the bread directly in without brushing oil. You can turn your face over, and then you can enjoy the food. Sesame is rich in flavor, and the bitterness of chicken gizzard-membrane is well covered, so it tastes crisp and crisp.
If you are too lazy to make it yourself, you can try this instant chicken golden yam cake. Black sesame seeds and white sesame seeds on the cake surface complement each other. Just smelling the smell of coke will make people have an appetite, and a bite is crisp and slag-free. Even friends who can't eat sweet can eat with confidence. Take two tablets a day, which is delicious and healthy.
Yiqi: flap ventilation
As the old saying goes, "It is better to eat an old hen than to hit Zusanli". As the most famous acupoint for health preservation, its hidden merits and fame can be seen.
Zusanli is located 4 fingers down from the lateral knee of human body, between fibula and tibia, and is 1 away from the side of tibia. Lingshu said, "When you enter, you will meet", and the qi and blood enter here to nourish the viscera. Whether it is moxibustion, acupuncture or patting, it is very suitable.
If you are afraid of pain, there is an easier way. "Regulating the spleen and stomach must be done independently" in Ba Duan Jin Can is especially suitable for people with anxiety and irregular diet.
Sleep: remove water through sleep.
Sleeping is the most time-saving, labor-saving and effective way. After all, we basically sleep for 8 hours every day. It would be great if we could nourish the spleen and stomach while sleeping.
