A day's plan lies in "morning" and a year's plan lies in "spring". If you want to have a healthy body, you must pay attention to spring and start keeping in good health from spring. Here are five tips for keeping healthy in spring, which I hope will help you:
Eat less sour and more sweet.
Traditional Chinese medicine advocates "preserving acid and sweetening" in spring diet, which is the basic rule of nourishing liver in spring. Because people's liver is full of yang in spring, eating acidic food will lead to excessive liver qi, and liver prosperity will easily damage the spleen and stomach. So the diet in spring is sour and sweet.
Avoid eating too much acidic food. Such as mutton, dog meat, quail, fried peanuts, fried melon seeds, marine fish, shrimps and crabs. Eat more foods that warm and strengthen the spleen, such as yam, bamboo shoots, spinach, jujube, leeks and so on.
Tip: Eat more in spring. Choosing food with warm characteristics can help yang, and eating more properly can achieve the purpose of maintaining yang. When cooking, put more spicy vegetables, such as onion, garlic, leek, Artemisia, mustard and so on. Fruit should also be eaten in moderation.
Don't live in a humble abode, but exercise regularly.
Regular exercise in spring is good for your health. Because the yang in nature begins to rise in spring, we should take advantage of this to raise the yang. Think about the revival of everything in the outside world. In such an environment, people can easily feel the exuberance and vitality of life. The key to nourishing yang is "moving" rather than "static". We should actively exercise outdoors, breathe fresh air and bask in the sun.
Tips: Women in poor health should not get angry and exercise too early. It is best to go out for exercise after the sun rises, especially to drink hot water, milk, egg soup and other hot soup before exercise. Don't exercise too hard.
Laughing without anger is good for your health.
Spring is not a season of anger, nor is it a season suitable for anger. As I said before, liver yang is hyperactive in spring. If the mood is too impatient or ups and downs are too large, it is easy to hurt the spleen. So be open-minded and harmonious. Moreover, too much depression will lead to stagnation of liver qi, decreased immunity, and easily lead to mental illness, liver disease, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and so on. Therefore, in order to be healthy and beautiful, we should open our hearts more and laugh more, so that we will stay young.
Tips: When you are "angry" about something, you'd better take a deep breath 10 times before you speak, so don't be hurt by angry anger. Think about what happened first. Don't hold back when you are sad. It is a good thing to vent appropriately.
Don't forget your makeup.
In spring, we should pay attention to the diversity of daily diet to ensure that the body can get rich and sufficient nutrition supply.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that when the human body is healthy and strong, "evil spirits" will not easily invade the body and diseases will not occur, so it is very important to strengthen physical fitness and improve the human body's disease resistance. After the fright, the weather turned warmer, all kinds of animals began to move, and bacteria and viruses also began to grow and multiply. Therefore, people need to pay attention to diet, strengthen their physique and resist the invasion of germs or viruses.
Tips: We can choose the dietary principles of flat supplement, clear supplement and soft supplement according to the characteristics of the gradual increase of human yang in spring, so as to avoid backfiring. Pay attention to protecting yin and hiding yang, eat more light food and improve human immunity.
Don't stay in a humid environment for a long time.
Spring begins to pick up, and the water in the air gradually increases, which looks very humid. Especially in the spring in the south, smog, humidity and sultry weather provide an environment for bacteria to grow and live. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure the ventilation of the living room and office. When the weather is good, you should dry more bedding and clothes, and keep the room dry and breathable when you sleep at night. You can wear loose cotton clothes to avoid eczema.
Tips: The temperature is humid in spring, so ladies should pay more attention to personal hygiene, and their underwear must be kept dry. Also pay attention to hanging clothes in a ventilated place to prevent bacteria from breeding.
