1, spring health care should pay attention to the protection of yang. In nature, spring belongs to wood, and the liver in the five elements belongs to wood, so it is particularly important to nourish and protect the liver in spring. In the theoretical system of traditional Chinese medicine, the liver governs catharsis, which is the qi in the heart, and it hates depression and is happy. Therefore, in spring, don't be too angry and don't doubt the existence of melancholy.
2. The temperature changes greatly in spring, so the nutrients in spring should be mainly high in calories. Because hot and cold stimulation can accelerate the decomposition of protein in the body, the body's resistance will be reduced, which will lead to diseases. At this time, it is necessary to supplement high-quality protein food, such as eggs, fish, chicken and bean products.
Second, the most suitable foods for spring are as follows:
1, red dates and other spleen-strengthening sweets: Sun Simiao, a famous doctor in ancient China, said, "It is advisable to keep sour and sweet in spring to nourish your temper." It means to eat less sour and eat more sweet in spring.
2, honey: Chinese medicine believes that honey is sweet, into the spleen and stomach, can replenish qi, moisten the intestines and relax the bowels.
3, spring buds: eat spring buds in spring. Confucius said "from time to time, don't eat", which means not to eat unless in this season.
4, leek: the climate in spring is different, and it is necessary to maintain the yang. Leek is most suitable for human yang, and it is known as natural "Viagra".
5. Bamboo shoots: Bamboo shoots, known as the "first vegetarian diet", have been loved by people as a delicious food since ancient times. Scholars and gourmets are amazed at this, and there is a saying that "early adopters are like mushrooms after rain".
6. Cherry: Known as "the first branch of spring fruit", it is cultivated all over China at present. Cherry fruit is plump, delicious, juicy, bright in color and rich in nutrition, and its iron content is particularly prominent, which is more than 20 times that of citrus, pear and apple, ranking first among fruits.
7. Spinach: Spinach is a vegetable that can be eaten all year round, but it is better to eat it in spring. The roots of "Spring Pineapple" are red and green, fresh and abnormal, and the most delicious. Spinach listed in spring is quite beneficial to detoxify and prevent spring dryness.
8, onion, ginger, garlic: not only is a good condiment, but also has important medicinal value, which can increase appetite, help Chunyang, and have the effect of sterilization and disease prevention. Spring is the most abundant, tender, fragrant and delicious time of the year. Eating at this time can prevent the most common respiratory infection in spring. Eggs with scallion oil or dipping sauce with scallion oil, which northerners like to eat in spring, are the most nutritious and in line with the solar terms.
Extended data:
1, spring is full of vitality and 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.
2. The laws of nature are hidden in spring, summer, autumn and winter. In spring, when the sun rises, it is warm and cold. We should not only adjust our diet reasonably, but also choose some foods suitable for spring purposefully.
In spring, human metabolism is vigorous. People obviously feel that they wake up early in the morning, but now people generally go to bed late at night, so there will be a phenomenon of poor sleep. Breakfast should be based on high-protein foods, such as a bag of milk, an egg and porridge, and a little coffee or tea to refresh you. Most southerners have this habit.
In spring, everything is happy and full of vitality, which is the most active period of human physiological function and metabolism. But the spring rain is continuous, the weather is humid, it is warm and cold at first, and the climate is very unstable. Healthy people can adapt to the environment quickly and generally don't need to adjust. But people with old diseases are not so lucky in this changeable season, and old diseases are easy to recur. At this time, for such patients and people who are weak after illness, they can be supplemented appropriately to improve the body's resistance and restore the body.
