Zhang believes that by nature, spring belongs to wood, corresponding to liver. Chinese medicine believes that the liver governs the emotions, so when I was in beginning of spring, I mainly protected the liver and adjusted my mind to keep my mood comfortable and prevent the "liver fire rising". Therefore, the health care in spring should pay attention to the maintenance of the liver and not be overworked; Patients with known liver disease and hypertension should also take liver nourishing and antihypertensive drugs according to the doctor's advice. In spring, the liver is strong and the spleen is weak, and the digestive function is affected. If you are depressed, there will be fullness in your chest and ribs, abdominal distension and abdominal pain, and diarrhea in your stool. Therefore, it is necessary to calm down and invigorate the spleen.
In spring, the diet is mainly nourishing yang, so we should eat less sour food and more sweet and mild food to nourish the liver, strengthen the spleen and stomach, and resist the invasion of external evils on the human body. We should increase the intake of yellow-green vegetables and seasonal fruits and supplement the deficiency of vitamins and inorganic salts. Black rice, fermented soybean, soybean and its cereal products; Pigeons, quails, crucian carp and loach in poultry and fish; Mustard, spinach, rape, carrots, bamboo shoots and other vegetables; Fruits such as chestnuts, red dates, Chinese wolfberry, pineapples, sugar cane, olives, etc. It is worth noting that we should avoid spicy food and seafood, and never eat sour food and fried food.
