Brief introduction of food

Spring diet is mainly based on flat supplement, focusing on nourishing the liver and spleen. At this time, the liver and spleen are in season, and the physiological characteristics of the liver and spleen, such as the growth of spring trees, control the rise of human yang. If the function of liver and spleen is damaged, it will lead to the disorder of qi and blood circulation in the whole body, and other viscera and organs will be disturbed and cause disease. Because the sour taste enters the liver, it is the original taste of the liver. If the liver and spleen, which have been excited in spring, ingest too much sour taste, it will cause excessive liver qi, and the liver and spleen will inevitably hurt the spleen. Spleen and stomach are closely related, so spleen deficiency is not conducive to the digestion and absorption of food by spleen and stomach. When sweet taste enters the spleen, it is best to tonify the spleen, strengthen the spleen and promote fluid production, and assist the liver qi. Spring tonic should be like Sun Simiao, a hundred-year-old doctor in the Tang Dynasty, saying, "Save acid to sweeten and nourish temper." It is to eat less sour food and more sweet food to nourish the liver and spleen, which is of great benefit to disease prevention and health care.

Cereals are the first choice for warm and sweet foods, such as glutinous rice, black rice, sorghum, millet and oats; Fruits and vegetables, such as sword beans, pumpkins, lentils, red dates, longan, walnuts, chestnuts, etc.; Carnivorous fish, such as beef, pork belly, crucian carp, flower carp, perch, grass carp, eel, etc. The human body absorbs rich nutrients from these foods and can nourish the liver and strengthen the spleen.

Secondly, we should follow the arrival of spring and eat more food that warms the yang, especially in the early spring when winter is still cold. We can choose to eat leek, garlic, onion, konjac, kohlrabi, mustard, coriander, ginger and onion. This kind of vegetable is warm and spicy, which can not only dispel cold, but also inhibit and kill germs that breed in humid environment.

Thirdly, warm wind in spring or sudden heat in late spring can easily lead to liver fire or body fluid leakage, so you can eat some foods that can clear the fire and nourish the liver, such as buckwheat, coix seed, shepherd's purse, spinach, spinach, celery, chrysanthemum seedlings, lettuce, eggplant, water chestnut and so on. This kind of food is cool and sweet, which can clear fire, moisten liver and improve eyesight. As for fresh fruit, although it has the effect of clearing away heat, promoting fluid production and quenching thirst, it is mostly sour and should not be eaten in spring. If you need to relieve internal heat, you'd better eat sweet bananas, raw pears, sugar cane or dried persimmons.
