Raise yang and do more morning exercises. A year's plan lies in spring, and a day's plan lies in morning. In Grain Rain season, the yang is getting longer and the yin is getting smaller. You should go to bed early and get up early and pay more attention to mental health. Don't be too tired and nervous mentally and physically, and don't worry or even get angry.
Morning is a good time to adopt the natural qi, and activity is an important part of nourishing yang. Old people can choose Tai Ji Chuan, jogging and other quiet and active sports. Exercise can improve the metabolism of the body, increase the amount of perspiration, and play the role of "dehumidification", but don't sweat too much to avoid excessive yang. It is also a good choice to go for a spring outing in the wild with friends, which can dispel depression, improve cardiopulmonary function and enhance physical fitness.
Step 2 eat
Medicinal diet strengthens the spleen and stomach. As soon as Grain Rain passed, spring passed. At this time, the qi of the heart and spleen is gradually flourishing, which is a good opportunity for the body to replenish qi. You should eat foods that strengthen the spleen and tonify the kidney at the right time. According to one's physique, we should choose tonify spleen, eliminate dampness, tonify spleen and kidney, tonify spleen and soothe the liver, such as yam and corn porridge, and cook porridge with 80g yam, 50g corn and 150g rice, which can achieve the effect of invigorating spleen and helping transport. 50g red beans, rice kernels 100g and rice porridge 100g can achieve the functions of invigorating spleen and eliminating dampness; Black bean porridge with corn stigma and jujube, corn stigma100g, Euryale ferox 50g, jujube 50g, black bean 60g, rice100g, can play the role of invigorating spleen, tonifying kidney and diuresis; In Grain Rain season, when liver qi is sufficient, you can also make tea with Radix Astragali, Fructus Lycii and Flos Chrysanthemi to invigorate the spleen, soothe the liver and clear away heat.
Step 3: body
The weather is easy to get sick. The monkey face is in spring, and the climate changes at any time. Although the climate in Grain Rain is getting warmer, it often turns cold and hot in the morning and evening. When the temperature drops suddenly, the incidence of infectious diseases will increase obviously, and old diseases such as chronic bronchitis and bronchiectasis will recur or worsen. Therefore, the elderly should pay special attention to add clothes to keep warm, keep indoor air circulation and clean environment, and often open windows for ventilation, so that germs lose breeding conditions. Grain Rain season, we should also pay attention to emotional stability, avoid getting angry, so as not to hurt the spleen and stomach.
4. Therapy
According to purging fire at acupoints, the yang will rise at the turn of spring and summer, and those with strong liver fire can purge fire through acupoint massage. "Xingjian point" is located on the seam between the big toe and the second toe, which is the point for purging heart fire; Taichong point is the first important point in human body, 4cm from toe to instep. Some people compare Taichong point to the punching bag of human body, because it is the original point and acupoint of liver meridian. By pressing Taichong point, the stagnant qi in the human body can be exhausted to the maximum extent. The method of pressing Taichong point is to find the most painful point carefully, and then go from Taichong point to Taichong point.
Other considerations:
1, to prevent the onset of spleen and stomach diseases. During the first18th day of each season, the spleen is in a vigorous stage. In the last three days of Tomb-Sweeping Day Qi, plus 15 days in Grain Rain, the digestive function of the spleen and stomach is generally strong, which is conducive to the absorption of nutrients and enables the body to adapt to the climate change in the next season. But this period is also prone to stomach problems, because the spleen and stomach are good, appetite increases, and it is easy to overeat and damage the spleen and stomach. Therefore, I would like to remind everyone that despite the great increase in appetite, we should keep seven or eight points full and avoid overeating. Sticking to massage Zusanli point every day is helpful to balance and coordinate diet, which is the best way to strengthen the spleen, preserve health and prevent diseases.
2. There is more rain in solar terms in Grain Rain, so pay attention to the prevention and treatment of rheumatic lumbago and leg pain. In a word, following nature, adjusting mood, eating reasonably and strengthening exercise can make you physically and mentally strong and spend all the solar terms in spring smoothly.
3, insects are born, and wind-heat colds are also popular.
Man's qi is connected with nature. For example, the onset in spring and 1 month is mainly caused by colds; In spring and February, chronic diseases mainly recur; In spring and March, many pathogenic factors will become active because the natural climate is dominated by wind and heat. Therefore, the symptoms of this month are mostly manifested in the period of violent attack of acute fever. Patients with acute fever such as encephalitis and pneumonia will increase, and this is the most serious time of SARS in 2003. I caught a cold, but I'll get over it soon without a fever. Once you have a fever, it is likely to turn into acute tonsillitis and pneumonia. Therefore, the most important point of keeping in good health before and after Grain Rain is to prevent diseases such as wind, heat and colds.
In fact, when it comes to colds, most of them are caused by exogenous pathogens attacking the exterior and lung qi not being announced. It refers to the external pathogens, such as cold, heat, dryness, etc., which attack the surface skin of the human body and block the communication channel between the human body and the outside world, so that the gas and energy of the human body cannot be announced and spread through the pores, resulting in a series of symptoms such as headache and nausea. Of course, wind-heat cold is formed by the combination of wind and heat. To treat this kind of cold, it is necessary to drive away heat and evil spirits and melt the heat toxin in the exterior and interior, which is called pungent cooling and relieving exterior in Chinese medicine. And our common mint and chrysanthemum are good medicines for clearing away heat and relieving exterior syndrome, and there is also a spring seasonal dish called burdock, which is also a very good heat-clearing food. Burdock is not only used to treat colds, but also has many functions such as eliminating constipation, diuresis, detoxification, sweating, enriching blood, strengthening body and essence. When women's physiology is not smooth, if they can eat more dishes cooked with burdock, it will have an amazing effect immediately. When Yuriko, a Japanese herbal researcher, talks about burdock in her book Natural Therapy of Herbal Medicine, she thinks burdock is an indispensable vegetable for patients. She said: "Burdock contains a very special ingredient, which can improve the function of the kidney, so people have used Burdock as a diuretic since ancient times." It can be seen that eating more burdock in spring is very beneficial to your health.
4. Reasonably increase or decrease clothes: Although the temperature is getting warmer, it is still cooler in the morning and evening. Those who leave early and return late should pay attention to increasing or decreasing their clothes to avoid catching a cold.
5, people with allergies should be less exposed to allergens: people with allergies should prevent hay fever and allergic rhinitis and allergic asthma this season. Pay special attention to avoid contact with allergens and reduce outdoor activities. Reduce the intake of high-protein and high-calorie foods in the diet, and go to the hospital in time for allergic reactions.
6. Eliminating dampness and health care: After Grain Rain, the humidity in the air gradually increased, which made people feel uncomfortable from the inside out. From the point of view of TCM health preservation, in such a humid environment, moisture can easily invade the human body, resulting in loss of appetite, heavy body, top-heavy, and sore joint muscles. If you already have various joint diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, it is also easy to induce in this solar term.
Therefore, Grain Rain should pay attention to eliminating dampness and cooperate in diet. The foods with good dampness eliminating effect are: white lentils, red beans, coix seed, yam, lotus leaves, gordon euryales, wax gourd, dried tangerine peel, white radish, lotus root, kelp, bamboo shoots, crucian carp and bean sprouts.
Special note: After Grain Rain, it means that spring is coming to an end. According to the viewpoint of "nourishing liver in spring" in traditional Chinese medicine, we should seize the opportunity to regulate liver blood. At this time, the main points of diet therapy focus on nourishing liver and clearing liver, and nourishing eyesight. Among many vegetables, spinach is the most suitable for nourishing liver. Chinese medicine believes that spinach is sweet, cool and enters the stomach. It has the effects of nourishing blood, stopping bleeding, benefiting the five internal organs, dredging blood vessels, quenching thirst, moistening intestines, nourishing yin, calming liver, helping digestion and clearing stomach heat and toxin, and is often effective in the adjuvant treatment of stomach diseases due to stagnation of liver qi. It has a good therapeutic effect on hypertension, headache, dizziness and anemia caused by liver yin deficiency in spring.
