1. Take care of your spirit.
In spring, nature is full of vitality, everything recovers and everything begins to grow. In the spirit of nursed back to health, we should also conform to nature and give priority to the word "life". In spring, people's will should conform to the spirit of hair growth. At this time, they should restrain their anger and not be depressed. They should be open-minded, relaxed and natural, and let their emotions "live". Especially for the middle-aged and elderly people, if they don't get angry and resentful often and keep an optimistic mood, the essence will not dissipate easily, the organs will not age easily, the body will not be tired, and they will be able to get rid of the disease and live longer.
2. Wind and cold protection
As for clothes, although it is warm in spring, don't lose them in a hurry. Because the temperature in early spring is cold and warm, like a child's face, it changes three times a day, and cold waves often strike.
The elderly, with weak qi and weak bones, have poor disease resistance, are slightly affected by cold and are prone to chronic diseases. Because of sudden cooling, blood vessels will spasm, blood will be thick, blood flow will slow down, and organs will be ischemic. So colds, pneumonia, tracheitis, asthma, arthritis, migraine, coronary heart disease and so on will follow. Therefore, it is necessary to keep out the wind and cold at this time.
In spring, the clothing style should be loose and stretched. Pure cotton fabric is suitable for underwear because of its good hygroscopicity, warmth retention and close fitting. Because winter starts from below, traditional health care advocates that spring clothes should be "thick on the top and thin on the bottom" to play the role of "nourishing yin and strengthening yang" Young women should pay special attention not to change clothes too early, otherwise it will lead to arthritis and various gynecological diseases. Hide in the warm spring breeze and dry it in time after sweating. Don't open your heart and let the wind blow. Proper covering in spring can reduce the occurrence of diseases, especially common respiratory infectious diseases.
Adjust diet
In spring, the metabolism is vigorous, the diet should be warm and tonic, and the principle of strengthening the spleen and strengthening yang is to eat and supplement simultaneously.
Choose sweet, warm, light and tasty foods, and avoid greasy, cold, sour, sticky and hot foods to avoid getting angry. Zhang Zhongjing, a health care scientist in the Han Dynasty, said: "The taste of diet in spring should be reduced in acid and sweetened, and the diet should not be abandoned for a day to protect the temper." Sun Simiao, the king of medicine in the Tang Dynasty, also said, "Spring diet should be sour and sweet, invigorating the spleen and benefiting qi." Therefore, the spring diet should be sweet and sour.
Due to the acceleration of human metabolism and the increase of nutrient consumption in spring, we should choose more nutritious foods, such as soybean sprouts, mung bean sprouts, tofu, lobster sauce, barley, wheat, jujube, lean meat, fish, eggs, peanuts, sesame seeds, oranges, bananas, honey, ginger, onions and garlic. Because there are few fresh vegetables and insufficient vitamin intake in winter, it is necessary to dissipate the accumulated internal heat throughout the winter, so we should eat more fresh vegetables, such as bamboo shoots, spring leeks, rapeseed, spinach, celery, shepherd's purse, Malan cabbage, medlar, Toona sinensis and so on. It can clear away heat and fire, cool blood and improve eyesight, reduce swelling and diuresis, and stimulate appetite.
take exercise
A year's plan lies in spring, which is the best season for physical investment. The air is fresh in spring, and this environment is most conducive to expelling the old and absorbing the new and nourishing the viscera. Life lies in exercise. If you move, you will keep your shape; If you are alive, you will see your blood flowing. Regular activities and proper exercise are the secrets of longevity throughout the ages. However, "dynamic" can be divided into active and passive. In order to adapt to the anger of spring, we should take active exercise and perseverance as our main tasks. In sports, the movements should be smooth, steady and slow, just like grass sprouting and willow dragonflies flying. The amount of exercise should not be too urgent or too large. Sun Simiao, a famous longevity doctor.
The spring is bright and the nature is full of vitality. However, when people feel comfortable and refreshed, they will also feel sleepy and sleepy. In addition, the spring night is shorter than the winter night, which makes people feel "I feel relaxed when I wake up this morning in spring", sleepy and depressed. These phenomena are called "spring sleep" in Chinese medicine. "Spring Sleepiness" is not lack of sleep, nor is it morbid, but "deviation of biological clock". The human body can't adapt to the environmental changes brought about by the rising temperature, and the physiological changes of "blood redistribution" have taken place in the body.
6. Health care and disease prevention
People's spiritual activities must adapt to climate change. The time when the human body is most affected by the seasons is the transitional season, especially the early spring at the turn of winter and spring. At this time, the weather is fine and the spring is bright; Or continuous spring rain and cold wind. Therefore, in our country, there is a popular saying that "the spring breeze blows like a knife, and the dead cow leans the horse".
Health preservation is to maintain life. Guided by the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, we should follow the changing law of the biochemical set of yin-yang, five elements, scientifically regulate the human body, and keep life healthy and energetic. Psychological health preservation refers to the method of nourishing the heart and regulating the mood and life, so as to achieve the purpose of maintaining the body, reducing diseases, improving health and prolonging life.
