For example, in spring, you should eat more foods that can generate yang, such as onions, garlic and leeks, to warm and tonify liver yang, but can you eat like this all spring?
Of course not. The last two solar terms in spring, Tomb-Sweeping Day and Grain Rain, are when the spirit of the sun is at its peak. If you still eat onions and garlic according to the law of "nourishing the liver in spring" in late spring, it will add fuel to the fire, and people will have a big temper, toothache, ulcers and acne.
It can be seen that keeping in good health according to the seasons does not allow us to "prescribe the right medicine" to regulate our bodies. Here, I would like to share with you the key points of solar terms health care mentioned in the "Twenty-four Solar Terms Health Care Law" written by Milo, a well-known domestic yogi.
Long summer is a solar term, so our health care will start from long summer.
Long summer (May 5 to May 20)
At the beginning of the long summer, the temperature is getting hotter. Many friends with qi deficiency are prone to sweat and asthma in summer, and some people faint from heatstroke in the scorching sun, which is caused by insufficient qi and blood. In order to cope with the damage caused by the summer heat, it is necessary to cultivate qi and blood.
Spleen and stomach are the source of qi and blood biochemistry. When the spleen and stomach are good, the qi and blood will naturally be good.
Long summer is the most effective solar term for nourishing the spleen and stomach and qi and blood. How to nourish spleen and stomach and qi and blood?
Beat the meridians Zusanli, Shangjuxu and Xiajuxu points.
As the saying goes, it is better to eat an old hen than to shoot Zusanli often. Clinical medicine has found that stimulating Zusanli can directly cause changes in the stomach, relax the convulsive stomach or tighten the relaxed stomach. It can be seen that Zusanli has the characteristics of two-way adjustment and emergency.
As shown in the figure. These three acupoints have their own division of labor, and together they can solve all gastrointestinal digestive problems caused by dysfunction of the stomach, large intestine and small intestine. Knocking on these three acupoints often will improve the function of the spleen and stomach, enrich the qi and blood, and protect people's energy, physical strength and intelligence.
Once a person's spleen and stomach are weak, he will have qi deficiency and no spirit. love sweating, with teeth marks on his tongue, is inactive and speaks softly. Many people think it is kidney deficiency, so they buy Liuwei Dihuang pills, but it is useless. Because it is qi deficiency, they should eat ingredients that strengthen the spleen and replenish qi.
"Sijunzi Decoction": 9 grams of Ginseng (or Codonopsis pilosula), 9 grams of Atractylodes macrocephala, 9 grams of Poria, and 6 grams of roasted licorice.
In every season of long summer, boiled water can strengthen the spleen and replenish qi. If you use this soup to cook rice into porridge, it is more suitable for invigorating qi and strengthening spleen. Sijunzi decoction is a common medicinal material, but its proportion is excellent. Mainly ginseng, invigorating qi, strengthening spleen and nourishing stomach. When used together with Atractylodes macrocephala, it can enhance the function of invigorating qi and strengthening spleen. Coupled with Poria cocos, which has the effect of invigorating spleen and infiltrating dampness, the effect of invigorating spleen is more obvious, and with Radix Glycyrrhizae preparata, it can play a role in invigorating qi and strengthening spleen.
This recipe tonifies the middle energizer, which warms the middle energizer without dryness. Male qi deficiency, easy to lose concentration, low work efficiency; Women are prone to spleen deficiency, laziness, love to do nothing, and their faces are yellow; Old people tend to be weak in temper, have decreased immunity and are prone to illness. So this "four gentlemen soup" is suitable for anyone to nourish.
The five internal organs are nourished by the spleen and stomach. When the spleen and stomach function is good, other viscera will gradually become stronger, and various diseases, especially chronic diseases, will be far away.
Finally, I recommend a yoga exercise to strengthen the spleen and tonify the kidney during the long summer solar term, which is called Yuan Qi Health Stake.
Three simple movements, just ten minutes, can achieve the best effect of spleen and stomach health preservation.
When the spleen and stomach qi and blood of the body are nursed back to health in the long summer, it is equivalent to storing enough R energy for the whole summer, without worrying about the "crisis" of various diseases in summer.
If you usually pay attention to health, but your body has not changed, why not try to eat and exercise from the solar terms and follow it from now on?
Choose the right time to exercise, get twice the result with half the effort, follow the 24 solar terms, and make rapid progress in health!
In the future, I will publish health knowledge in every solar term, and the next section will be Xiaoman (from May 20th to June 5th in the Gregorian calendar every year).
