A few years ago, there was a popular saying that "it is better to invite people to eat than to invite people to sweat". It means that it is better to invite people to eat than to invite people to exercise and sweat.
Actually, it can't be so absolute. Because sweat is the body fluid of the heart, sweating will make you sad. And sweating should be different all year round.
During autumn harvest and winter storage, you should try to avoid sweating, so as not to hurt the yang; It's hot every day in summer, and the sun's spirit leaks out, and you will sweat when you lie still in bed.
It's just that in spring, you should take the initiative to exercise and sweat, so that the heat in the body can be dissipated, which will help the sun be the spirit to flow smoothly. This is what Wang Tingxiang meant when he said, "Spring should be scattered and Yang should be suitable".
The reason why we should exercise more in spring is not only because the yang rises in spring, but also because the skin is closed in winter, and tonics, drugs and metabolic wastes are stored in the body and need to be vented.
Spring is coming, and if these accumulated heat and waste are not discharged, it is easy to cause a "plague". At the same time, in winter, people wear fur and thick clothes, or sit in the stove or enjoy heating. They have short days and long nights, sleep late and get up late, and are trapped indoors, with little sunshine and depressed mood. They just need to take advantage of the bright spring to feel happy and refreshed.
One of the functions of exercise is to cheer up the spirit. Whether jogging, hiking, flying kites or playing, under the warm sunshine and green vitality, it is really charming to open up to the world and embrace nature.
Spring should nourish the liver, and liver qi should be Shu Da. Therefore, it is advisable to go to bed early and get up early in spring and exercise in a green atmosphere, which has the effect of killing two birds with one stone. If you move, you will have yang, and you will have a strong yang after hiding for a winter.
Of course, when you say that you should exercise more and sweat more in spring, you don't mean that you should sweat through your clothes, but you should sweat slightly. And the method of divergence is not limited to exercise.
Eat more sweets and divergent foods in the diet. For example, young rape, the first two spring leeks, fennel seedlings, Toona sinensis buds and so on. These vegetables are hard to find after the season and have different meanings, so don't miss this opportunity to have a good meal.
