Before and after the shock, although the temperature rose, the weather was fine, everything grew, and the air humidity did not increase significantly. People still felt dry and easy to get angry. When the "quiet" solar term has just begun to warm up and is still cold, it is a very important period of health preservation with alternating cold and warm air. Let's take a look at the little knowledge of Chinese medicine about the health of people in a daze, and don't run to the hospital! According to statistics, the average temperature of the solar term is generally around 12 to 14, which is more than three times higher than that of rain. It is the solar term with the fastest temperature rise in the whole year, and the sunshine hours have also increased. However, due to the alternation of cold and warm air and unstable weather, the temperature fluctuates greatly all over the country, and so does Jiangnan. During the period of fright, people should pay attention to their diet and daily life.
1. dressing
Pay attention to keep warm: the shock is still warm and cold, and the temperature is changeable. Don't wear too thin clothes when going out to play, or don't take off too many clothes immediately when sweating, so as to prevent people from catching cold.
Pay attention to nourishing yang: Neijing says "nourishing yang in spring and summer", which is shocking in spring. At this time, the yang in the body is not hidden, and it begins to diverge from the inside out, and the qi of liver yang gradually rises. Health care should follow the characteristics of "yang sheng" and "everything is born" to make people's spirit, emotion and qi and blood stretch like spring. Try to avoid emotional depression, inhibit the growth of yang, and avoid excessive exercise and sweating, so that yang leaks out.
2. Disease prevention
What we need to pay attention to is that the spring warm bloom is also the season when diseases, viruses and bacteria are active in spring. A little carelessness can easily lead to respiratory diseases (flu) and allergic diseases (allergic rhinitis).
Step 3 prescribe diet
Spring corresponds to the liver. During the period of fright, the diet should be in line with the nature of "the liver governs the discharge", which is helpful to temper and make the five internal organs calm. Cook all kinds of porridge daily, such as glutinous rice, coix seed, adzuki bean, black bean, jujube, peanut and soybean porridge. There is a lot of rain and high humidity during the fright season, so we southerners should pay special attention to "returning to the south" to prevent food from becoming moldy. There is a folk custom of eating pears in shock. Raw pears are cold and sweet, enter the lung and stomach meridians, and have the effects of moistening the lungs and relieving cough, nourishing yin and clearing heat, relieving sore throat and promoting fluid production. Eating pears can not only clear away heat, but also nourish the heart and lungs and enhance immunity. Pears can be eaten raw, steamed, squeezed, baked or boiled. Especially the steamed pear with rock sugar has a good effect on cough, and it is simple and convenient to make, so it might as well be eaten as dessert. In addition, patients with cough can also eat lotus seeds, loquat, lily, tremella, Siraitia grosvenorii and other foods with the functions of moistening lung, strengthening spleen and relieving pain. Medicinal and edible drugs include Radix Adenophorae, Radix Pseudostellariae, Rhizoma Dioscoreae, Radix Ophiopogonis, Rhizoma Polygonati Odorati, etc. Usually it can be used for soaking in water or making soup. Generally speaking, the diet should be light, greasy food should not be eaten, and irritating food such as pepper, onion, garlic and pepper should also be eaten less.
