First of all, diet and daily life
During the period after beginning of spring, the weather was hot and cold, and the climate change was still great. At this time, with the arrival of spring, the human body has begun to relax and its resistance to cold evil has weakened. Therefore, cotton-padded jacket should not be reduced prematurely in early spring, especially for the elderly and infirm. "Spring covers and autumn freezes" is a folk health-preserving proverb. In winter and March, plants wither and insects are frozen, which slows down human metabolism, reduces resistance, and makes it easy to get sick, damage yang, and suffer from colds and chronic diseases. People often say, "It's colder than the cold in spring." This requires us to keep our clothes warm, lie down and get up early at night, wear no hat, relax our belts, stretch our bodies and take part in outdoor activities. In early spring, it is warm and pleasant on sunny days and cold on cloudy days, and there is often a small stream of cold air coming back, which will make people feel that they are back in winter. Therefore, after beginning of spring, we should follow the principle of "covering the spring and freezing the autumn", pay attention to keep warm, and increase or decrease clothes in time.
In order to avoid the occurrence of diseases in spring, in terms of preventive measures, we should first increase or decrease clothes according to climate change; Second, open the window frequently to let the indoor air circulate and keep the air fresh; Third, we should pay attention to rest, strengthen exercise and improve the body's defense ability. In addition, pay attention to the health care of oral cavity and nasal cavity. In daily life, we should also conform to nature, go to bed early and get up early, appropriately increase outdoor activities, let the body's winter storage state begin to adapt to the arrival of spring, let our spiritual feelings adapt to nature, and strive for harmony and energy.
Second, in terms of diet aftercare.
At the beginning of spring, we should give priority to green vegetables in our diet. It is necessary to pay attention to eating less sour food, preventing excessive liver-qi, and appropriately increasing sweet food, which is conducive to nourishing the temper and avoiding excessive liver-qi damaging the spleen.

It is advisable to eat fresh vegetables, such as spinach, mustard greens and bean sprouts.
Chinese medicine believes that special attention should be paid to liver maintenance in spring to adapt to the weather. Therefore, when taking care of the diet, we should take into account that spring is characterized by rising yang, which is suitable for eating more spicy and divergent foods. Such as rape, coriander, leek, onion, mustard, white radish, chrysanthemum, kohlrabi, fennel, Chinese cabbage, celery, spinach and so on. , with the characteristics of pungent and sweet divergence. Some foods with the function of warming and tonifying kidney yang, such as burdock, lotus root, carrot, sweet potato, potato, green vegetables and so on. You should eat it often, but it is not suitable for people with yin deficiency and fire. Those who are prone to repeated colds, have a history of asthma and are physically weak should eat more light vegetables, beans and their products, and avoid spicy, greasy and cold food.
Third, fitness and health care
On the occasion of beginning of spring, from the perspective of fitness and health care, it is appropriate to start with physical exercise. Physical exercise can improve the body's resistance and activate the bones and muscles. As the saying goes: "The season of a year lies in spring, and the season of a day lies in the morning." The morning of a day is when the sun is god, which is most suitable for spring exercise. Tai Ji Chuan, jogging, walking, outing and mountain climbing are all good choices.
In spring, the sun is god, so exercise and recuperation should be active and avoid quietness. Therefore, starting from spring, we should do more kinds of exercises to relax muscles and promote blood circulation, with emphasis on stretching the cervical spine, hip joint, shoulder joint and knee joint. There are more negative oxygen ions in the air in spring, which can enhance the working efficiency of cerebral cortex and cardiopulmonary function. When the weather is clear and windless, outdoor sports should be actively carried out. The post-beginning of spring exercise should be selected according to different ages, genders, occupations and hobbies, and different training intensities should be adopted for different people. In principle, it is advocated to increase outdoor activities, let the body and mind bathe in spring, absorb the vitality of nature, and enhance the body's disease resistance.
However, when exercising in daily life, we should also pay attention to all kinds of protective work. When the wind is strong, try to reduce going out. When it is really unavoidable, wear a scarf and hat to protect your head and neck. Also increase or decrease clothes with the change of temperature, and don't cut too many clothes to avoid catching a cold.
Health theory says: "In spring and March, comb your hair one or two hundred times every morning." Combing your hair every day in spring is a good health care method. Because spring is the season when the natural yang rises, at this time, the yang of the human body also conforms to nature and has the characteristics of rising upwards and outwards, which is manifested in the gradual expansion of pores, vigorous metabolism and rapid growth. Therefore, combing hair in spring just meets the requirements of health preservation in this spring, and plays an important role in promoting qi circulation, relieving depression, dredging qi and blood, and invigorating yang.
Rub your lungs. After beginning of spring, the human body's pores gradually open, and the common cold is the easiest to take advantage of it, causing colds and colds. Regular exercise of lung meridian can improve the skin's ability to resist cold. The lung meridian is on the inner side of our arm, and it starts to extend downward to the thumb through the shoulder socket, so we can get good results by taking the acupuncture points at the upper and lower ends of it for massage, and these two acupuncture points are easy to find, one is Zhongfu in the shoulder socket position, and the other is Shaoshang point of the thumb, and we knock one hundred times with our hands and fists every morning.
