Just after beginning of spring, the temperature has gradually picked up these two days. As far as Yu Lichun is concerned, Chinese medicine explains: establishment, initial construction. Spring is the beginning of the revival of everything.

Compared with the severe winter solar terms, after beginning of spring, the temperature, sunshine and rain all increased.

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, beginning of spring should be the yang in the future. As the old saying goes: "March spring can be described as going to the old and welcoming the new, naturally renewing, and reviving everything. It is advisable to go to bed early and get up early, and take a leisurely walk in the court to relieve the mood to cope with the breath of spring. This is also the way to keep fit. "

Therefore, spring is a good time to replenish the yang and relax. So, what is the best way to raise yang in spring?

First, keep out the cold and nourish the yang.

Although spring is the season when the sun is shining, the temperature has risen after beginning of spring, but it has not completely dispelled the cold, so it is not advisable to take off your clothes too early.

This is also the truth of the saying that "spring covers autumn and freezing". Don't cut clothes in early spring to prevent cholera, indigestion and hair pain.

In other words, losing clothes prematurely in spring will cause exogenous typhoid fever, lead to indigestion, cause headache and damage the yang. What's more, it leads to the decline of human immunity and the invasion of viruses.

The dress code in spring should be like this: thin on the top and thick on the bottom, covering the neck and protecting the feet. In other words, the clothes on the upper body can be reduced appropriately, but the clothes on the lower limbs can't be reduced, so keep warm. In addition, protect your neck and feet, don't expose your neck and ankles too much, and ensure that the yang grows out and the cold drives away.

Second, comb your hair and massage your feet at night.

Chinese medicine says that yang should be cultivated in spring. Comb your hair every morning 100, and wash your knees and feet with warm soup at 10 in the evening, which helps to relieve fatigue and collect yang.

Therefore, after getting up early in spring, combing your hair can mobilize the meridians of your head and neck, which is conducive to the growth of yang. Preparing warm water and washing feet at night will help to reduce fatigue during the day and help to maintain the yang in the body. Promote qi and blood circulation, protect health and prevent diseases.

Third, there are many activities at noon.

At noon in spring, it is sunny, so you can go out for a walk more.

The sports you can choose are jogging, Tai Chi, flying kites, walking and so on. These soothing exercises will not increase the burden on the unawakened body, nor will they sweat a lot, which will hinder the sending and receiving of yang.

It should be noted that you should not do excessive strenuous exercise, because at the beginning of beginning of spring, the bones and muscles of the human body were still in a state of contraction in winter. If you suddenly do strenuous exercise, it may cause physical injury, which is not conducive to the recovery of yang.

Fourth, less acid tastes sweet.

Try not to eat too sour food in spring, and supplement sweet food appropriately, which is more conducive to the growth of yang.

Sun Simiao said in the book "Qianjin Diet Prescription" that "less acid and more sweetness in early spring can nourish the spleen and stomach, soothe the liver and regulate qi."

Chinese medicine believes that acid enters the liver and sweet taste enters the spleen. Spring corresponds to the liver, and the liver and spleen belong to wood and soil respectively. Dregs, so reducing acidity and eating more sweetness can prevent liver dregs, cause spleen and stomach weakness and disturb the balance of viscera in the body.

The spleen and stomach are damaged, the grains are not melted, and the food is tasteless and stagnant, which is not conducive to the transport of body fluid and blood, and will hinder the growth and spread of yang.

In spring, the temperature rises and the sun shines, which is the time when the yang of everything on the earth rises step by step. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that everything in nature is mixed, and if the human body follows the law of natural growth and decline, it can mention the unity of body and nature, which is more helpful to adapt to and fight against natural emergencies.

Therefore, when the yang of all things rises, it is also the best time for the human body to supplement the yang. We can conform to nature and not be too greedy and shrink too early. Mobilizing the body, dredging the meridians of the head, relieving foot fatigue, and helping to nourish the yang and keep fit.
