Best for spring prevention
What to eat in spring? Jujube honey is the most nourishing liver, so it should be sour and sweet. Green vegetables, such as Chinese cabbage and oily wheat, can choose strawberries for fruits, nuts for snacks and black tea for drinks.
Chinese medicine says that spring is the time when liver qi is the most abundant and liver fire is the most prosperous, and it is also the time when old diseases are most likely to recur. Because beginning of spring injected yang into our bodies, people's bodies have an instinct, that is, once they have power, they will impact our stoves and drive away evil spirits, and this power is manifested through the liver that helps us to detoxify.
Because the internal heat of the liver is usually emitted by the gallbladder meridian, many people will inexplicably feel bitter mouth and migraine in spring, and excessive liver fire will also affect the spleen, and there will be corresponding diseases, such as diarrhea, calf cramps, and frequent drowsiness.
What to eat in spring?
In the early spring, the yang is beginning to appear, and sweet products can help the spring yang. Because acidic food enters the liver and sweet food enters the spleen. Eating too much acid will cause disorder and influence of gastric acid secretion, so eat less acid to reduce the burden of spleen and stomach function. Speaking of this, many people are confused and still don't know what they need to eat. Let me talk about it in detail.
First, the most suitable tonic: jujube honey is the most nourishing liver.
Spring is the time when liver qi is the most abundant and liver fire is the most prosperous, so we should choose more foods to protect the liver and strengthen the spleen in our diet. Jujube, honey, yam, lotus seeds and Euryale ferox should be added, and porridge can be cooked every day, which not only helps to protect the liver and strengthen the spleen and stomach, but also helps to nourish, increase qi and blood and prevent spring sleepiness.
Second, the most suitable taste: saving acid and sweetening.
In the early spring, the yang is beginning to appear, and sweet products can help the spring yang. Therefore, the sweetness should be increased and the acidity should be reduced in spring. Because acidic food enters the liver and sweet food enters the spleen. Eating too much acid will cause disorder and influence of gastric acid secretion, so eat less acid to reduce the burden of spleen and stomach function.
In order to prevent the liver from damaging the spleen, sweets should be selected: onions, ginger, dates, peanuts, wheat flour, buckwheat, corn and other cereal fruits. Those with yin deficiency and internal heat can choose duck meat, kelp, mung bean, sugarcane juice, water chestnut, lily and so on. To put out the fire.
Third, the most suitable vegetables: Chinese cabbage, oil wheat vegetables.
Because it is easy to feel sleepy in spring, we must reduce the intake of fat at this time, and appropriately increase the food in protein, such as eggs, milk, fish, bean products, chicken and duck. Add more green leaves, minerals, vitamins and various antioxidants. Rich nutrition can also prevent spring sleepiness and help us lose weight effectively.
In the choice, dark green vegetables are the best, leafy vegetables have high nutritional value and extremely low calories. Because the slow-growing green leafy vegetables in winter can be said to be rich in nutrition, more than vegetables in other seasons, and the winter temperature is low, there are no pests, less pesticide interference, safe to eat, and especially beneficial to the human body.
At the same time, choosing some slightly bitter vegetables is helpful to dispel fire and detoxify, such as some common ones: Chinese cabbage, oilseed rape, chrysanthemum, bitter chrysanthemum and so on. There are also some uncommon ones, such as Chinese kale, amaranth and purple-backed begonia.
Fourth, the most suitable fruit: strawberry
At this time, apples and oranges have spent a long winter. Although the present storage equipment and technology are very advanced, they are basically not very fresh because of too long time, and strawberries are on the market in large quantities at this time. In addition, strawberries contain higher vitamin C and the highest iron content among fruits, and the combination of vitamin C and iron is just the best combination for skin care.
In addition, strawberries are berries, and this fruit has the strongest and most effective effect on delaying brain aging and enhancing memory. Eating a few juicy and delicious strawberries every morning and afternoon can refresh you and drive away the spring sleep.
Fifth, the most suitable snack: nuts.
Add proper nuts every day. Nuts are rich in antioxidant components and brain-benefiting components. Proper supplementation every day can effectively improve the problem of sleepiness in spring. Effective antioxidant ingredients can also make women's skin more moist, shiny and elastic.
Especially white-collar workers and students. It should be noted that the total amount of nuts per day does not exceed 30 grams, that is, almonds and hazelnuts are about 10, or a handful of sunflower seeds or about 6 walnuts.
Sixth, the most suitable drink: black tea.
Timely and appropriate hydration can be said to be good for the whole body, especially the first glass of water in the morning. Drinking a cup of warm water on an empty stomach after getting up can also moisten the lungs, nourish the skin, accelerate intestinal peristalsis and promote defecation.
In addition, many people like drinking tea. In the early spring season in the north, the weather is still very cold. It is recommended to choose black tea or oolong tea, and gradually switch to green tea after the end of spring.
Pay attention to four diseases in spring and do four things well.
In the four seasons of the year, the season with the greatest changes in meteorological elements such as temperature, air pressure, airflow and humidity is spring. The period from beginning of spring to Qingming is the period of vegetation growth and germination. People's blood is in an exuberant period, and the hormone level is also at a relative peak. At this time, the weather is alternating between cold and warm, and the warm and cold climate is hard to prevent, which is easy to cause non-communicable diseases. In addition, in spring, due to warm, humid and windy conditions, bacteria and viruses are easy to grow, multiply and spread. According to the physiological characteristics and past experience of abstainers, I think there are the following diseases that need attention:
First, cardiovascular diseases. Because drug addicts have the experience of intravenous drug injection, the injected drugs are often mixed with some harmful impurities, which can easily cause infection and damage to the cardiovascular system through blood circulation. Spring is cold and hot, and rainy season is the season with high recurrence rate of critical diseases such as coronary heart disease, rheumatic heart disease and hypertension.
Second, the disease. Drug addicts are first injured when taking drugs, and their respiratory function declines, and their physical resistance and immune ability decline, which is more obvious in spring. These people are easy to catch a cold at this time, and the main diseases are colds, bronchitis, pneumonia, asthma and so on. At this time, drug addicts who originally suffered from tuberculosis are also prone to relapse, resulting in the spread of the disease.
Third, digestive system diseases. Drug addicts often suffer from digestive system diseases because of long-term drug use, irregular life and irregular diet. In spring, the metabolism of the body increases and the secretion of gastric juice increases, which is easy to cause gastritis and ulcers. If you don't pay attention to food hygiene at this time, it is easy to cause digestive tract infectious diseases such as acute gastroenteritis, hepatitis and virus.
Fourth, mental and nervous system diseases. The Spring Festival is a season of frequent mental and neurological diseases. As the saying goes, "cauliflower is yellow, idiot is busy." Drug abuse itself is a psychological and physical disease. Therefore, in spring, it is easy to cause liver fire to rise, and diseases such as headache, dizziness, toothache, upset, irritability, anxiety, insomnia, mental abnormality, etc.
Five, five. Because spring is humid and warm, it is suitable for the growth and reproduction of various bacteria and viruses. In addition, there are many people in the warehouse, and the ventilation conditions are relatively insufficient, which is prone to dermatitis and other skin diseases. In addition, some are easy to happen in this season.
Four points of preventing and treating diseases in spring
For abstainers, I think the following points should be done well in the prevention and treatment of the above spring diseases:
First, according to climate change, pay attention to cold and warmth.
Change clothes with the weather at ordinary times, to prevent catching cold in the morning and evening, and to avoid the invasion of germs, causing the occurrence and infection of respiratory diseases. At the same time, adjust your emotions and keep a good mood.
Second, pay attention to warehouse hygiene and personal hygiene.
At ordinary times, we should conscientiously do a good job in the indoor sanitation of the warehouse, insist on cleaning and disinfecting indoor surfaces every day, especially under the bed, clean up indoor garbage and sundries in time, and disinfect indoor air regularly. Personally, I think it is necessary to develop hygienic habits, pay attention to washing hands before and after meals, sneezing and clearing nose, taking a bath frequently, changing clothes, underwear and socks frequently, drying clothes and bedding frequently, having a regular haircut, not spitting, and flushing after defecation.
Third, pay attention to food hygiene.
Pay attention to the cleanliness of tableware and wash it in time before and after meals; Do not eat cold, expired or spoiled food, drink raw water or cold water, eat spicy, hard, cold and greasy food, and do not overeat. The food you eat should be thoroughly cooked, eat some easy food, drink more water, eat more fruits and vegetables, and eat more nutritious and vitamin-rich foods.
Fourth, live a regular life and ensure sleep and rest.
Actively participate in activities during morning exercises and outdoor activities; Go to bed in time after ringing the bell at night to ensure adequate sleep time.
Common sense of health preservation and disease prevention in spring
Spring is the season of respiratory diseases. If you do a survey now, you will find that children with respiratory diseases even account for more than 80% of all sick children. Respiratory diseases include allergic and infectious diseases, such as measles, chickenpox, mumps, meningitis, asthma and colds. These diseases may also directly lead to pathological changes in other systems, such as meningitis, myocarditis and septicemia. Fortunately, now we can all be vaccinated and prevent some diseases, but we still can't. In order for us to establish a solid barrier against diseases and have a good body, we should start from the small things around us.
First of all, we must establish a concept of happiness. Many small cases remind us that the causes of human diseases are not entirely from physiology, and more than 60% are physical and mental diseases, which are closely related to excessive mental stress. We should live and study happily.
Secondly, we should take part in outdoor activities during recess and take time to go to the park every week. Play in the botanical garden or the suburbs with fresh air and bask in the sun. But we should pay attention to avoid shopping in crowded, noisy and substandard places. Pay attention to the increase or decrease of clothes during activities, and don't sweat too much. Stop activities, dry your sweat in time and add clothes.
Third, we should balance the nutritional structure of our daily diet. No picky eaters, no food, no food. We should consciously avoid eating, buying and taking snacks, eat more calcium-rich fish, shrimp and beans, and appropriately increase the quality of protein. Pay attention to the intake of vegetables and fruits should be balanced with meat, and coarse grains should be properly matched, especially junk food such as high sugar and high fat, fried food and so on.
Fourth, we should also pay attention to cold and moisture, avoid catching cold, reduce the occurrence of colds and avoid too much clothing. Make sure you get enough sleep at night and don't let yourself get too tired. Do not have headache, vomiting, fever, etc. Let mom and dad take you to the hospital.
Fifth, we must pay attention to hygiene, take a bath frequently, change underwear frequently, cut our nails frequently, brush our teeth in the morning and evening, wash our hands before and after meals, and don't eat too fast and full, just as adults often say, "There is no small thing in life, and small things become big things."
