What details of life should we pay attention to in spring?
First, don't cut down on clothes in a hurry, and pay attention to cold protection.
In early spring, although the weather is getting warmer, it is still cold in spring, so we should pay special attention to cold protection.
Don't cut down on clothes too early. If you take off your clothes because of the warm weather, you'd better take some coats to keep warm at any time in case of emergency. In early spring, the sun is the soul, but the cold and humid atmosphere of the earth still exists. Therefore, we should follow the principle of being thin on the top and thick on the bottom, pay special attention to the warmth of the lower body, and prevent "cold starts from the soles of the feet and moisture enters from the bottom".
In addition, due to the rising of the spirit of the sun in beginning of spring, the acupoints on the head and neck of human body are relatively open and closed, which can easily become a channel for the invasion of external cold, so it is best for the infirm to wear hats and scarves.
Second, pay attention to personal and family hygiene.
In early spring, some pathogenic bacteria and viruses will also grow and multiply with the warming of the temperature. Pay attention to personal and family hygiene and prevent diseases.
Bacteria begin to multiply in spring, and many epidemics are easy to break out in this season. Take this opportunity to clean the room and courtyard, and create a good sanitary environment for the house to conform to a healthy lifestyle. According to the records in The Book of Songs, Zhou Li and other documents, the Zhou Dynasty had clear hygienic requirements for killing insects and rats, and the specific methods included cleaning indoor sanitation, painting walls, blocking holes, dusting, and fumigating with drugs.
Third, increase moderate outdoor activities.
If the temperature permits, we should gradually increase some moderate outdoor activities to facilitate the circulation of qi and blood.
In beginning of spring, it is not advisable to do too much exercise in the sunny season, otherwise it will damage Chu Yang. You can choose some slow-paced sports such as spring outing, playing Tai Ji Chuan, yoga, walking, flying kites, gymnastics and dancing, and go to bed early and get up early to nourish your liver.
Since beginning of spring, nature has been full of vitality and everything is thriving. At this time, people should go to bed early and get up early, go for a walk in the morning, stretch their bodies, take part in outdoor activities more, overcome the state of fatigue and drowsiness, adapt their spiritual feelings to nature, and strive for physical and mental harmony and energy. The following are the things you need to pay attention to in the spring.
Second, don't cut clothes too early.
"No clothes in spring, no hats in autumn". Judging from the solar terms, although beginning of spring is beginning of spring, it is still very cold. When the weather is warm and cold, the human body becomes slack and the ability to resist cold evil is weakened. Bacteria take advantage of the opportunity to attack the body, and it is easy to cause various respiratory diseases and infectious diseases in spring.
Third, comb your hair a hundred times a day.
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 upward and outward, 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.
Fourth, eat less tonic and salt.
For a period of time after beginning of spring, the amount of tonic, whether food tonic or medicine tonic, should be gradually reduced to gradually adapt to the seasonal characteristics of comfort, rising and arrival in the coming spring. At the same time, it is also very important to reduce salt intake, because salty taste enters the kidney, and eating too much salt is easy to hurt kidney qi, which is not conducive to maintaining Yang Qi.
Fifth, eat more leeks and coriander.
In terms of diet recuperation, it is necessary to consider that the yang is born in spring, and it is appropriate to eat sweet and divergent products, not sour. Food choices are spicy jujube, lobster sauce, onion, leek, coriander, peanuts and so on. And the formula is flexible and less spicy.
Sixth, avoid acid and spicy.
The sour taste enters the liver and converges, which is not conducive to the growth of yang and the release of liver qi. Diet should nurse its viscera. After beginning of spring, avoid spicy food and eat less spicy hot pot, mutton, barbecue and frying; after beginning of spring, eat less spicy food and fried and grilled food.
Beginning of spring should purposefully choose some medicines and foods for softening and nourishing the liver, soothing the liver and regulating qi, such as Lycium barbarum, Radix Curcumae, Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae and Rhizoma Corydalis. And choose jujube, lobster sauce, onion, coriander, peanuts, etc.
Seven, should drink herbal tea.
After beginning of spring, the weather is still relatively dry. Drinking scented tea helps to dispel the cold evil accumulated in the human body in winter.
For people with hot constitution, it is advisable to choose cold flowers and plants (Prunella vulgaris, honeysuckle, chrysanthemum, Sophora japonica, etc. ), while those with deficiency constitution are suitable for warm flowers and plants (plum blossom, jasmine, rose, Chinese rose, saffron, etc.). ), and for those flowers and plants that are flat, most of them can be selected (acacia flowers, corn silk, hibiscus flowers, lavender, etc.). ). In collocation, those flowers and plants with warm medicinal properties are best not to be compatible with flowers and plants with cold nature.
