Spring is the first of the four seasons and the beginning of Vientiane's renewal. With the arrival of spring, nature presents a vibrant and thriving scene. Therefore, it is necessary to conform to the characteristics that the yang is budding and everything is born in spring, and it is required to pay attention to maintaining the yang, focusing on the word "life".
(1) Daily conditioning: With the arrival of spring, the human body's yang tends to the exterior and interior, the skin stretches, the blood supply to the periphery increases, the sweat gland secretion also increases, and the load of various organs increases. But the central nervous system has sedative and hypnotic effects, and the limbs feel sleepy. However, staying up late is not conducive to the rise of yang. In order to adapt to this climate change, we should lie down at night and get up early in our daily life, often go for a walk outdoors, and blend in with nature along the tree-lined path in the Woods to cope with the growth of spring.
The climate in spring is changeable, sometimes cold and sometimes warm. At the same time, the surface of human skin is slack, and the ability to resist external evils is weakened. Therefore, when spring comes, don't take off your thick clothes at once, especially for the elderly and the elderly. In the early spring, the yin is cold and the yang is rising. Pay attention to "thick down and fine up" when dressing. "Thick bottom" is beneficial to the rise of yang in spring, and "thin top" is to prevent yang from rising too much. This is the experience of the ancients.
(2) Diet care: Four-season diet care is often based on the five flavors of food and different seasons. In spring, the yang rises, and human metabolism begins to flourish. It is advisable to choose spicy, sweet and lukewarm food instead of sour food. Sweet is scattered into yang qi to help spring yang. Warm food is good for protecting yang, but it is not suitable to eat spicy and hot things, so as to avoid excessive liver qi overwhelming spleen and soil, which is not conducive to health. Spring diet should avoid eating greasy and cold things, and eat more rich food and fresh food. Modern medical research believes that overeating and vitamin B deficiency are one of the reasons for sleepiness in spring.
(3) Spiritual health: People's spiritual activities must conform to the changes of the four seasons' climate, so as to keep their spirits. When the human body is most affected by the season, it is out of season, especially in spring at the turn of winter and spring.
Chinese medicine believes that spring belongs to wood, corresponding to liver; The liver governs the excretion of vegetables, which is pleasant when it is smooth, and depressed when it is disgusting. Spring and March are the rising seasons, and everything begins to take shape. At this time, we should hide our emotions and wisdom in our hearts, avoid anger and depression, be broad-minded and optimistic; Mind and body should be relaxed, comfortable, natural and full of vitality, so that feelings can be told.
(4) Nursing: The winter is cold, the metabolism of the human body is low, the essence is stored more than the gas, and the yang is decreased to varying degrees. After entering the spring, we should adapt to the characteristics of rising yang and strengthen exercise. We can go running, boxing, doing exercises, walking, playing ball games, flying kites, let our bodies get rid of the old and welcome the new in the fresh air, let our bones and muscles stretch, and lay a good foundation for a year's work and study. Practice has proved that people who often participate in spring exercise have strong resistance, quick thinking, anti-fatigue and high efficiency.
(5) Prevention: When spring comes and the weather gets warmer, bacteria and viruses will grow and multiply, so infectious diseases such as influenza, measles, meningitis, scarlet fever and pneumonia are most likely to occur. In addition, in spring, when flowers fall and pollen flutters in bloom, patients are most likely to get sick. The main prevention method is to insist on physical exercise to improve the body's disease resistance; Secondly, we should pay attention to hygiene, eliminate pests and diseases, eliminate the source of the disease, keep the indoor air fresh, and open more windows.
