Spring:
After winter, people generally have insufficient intake of vitamins, inorganic salts and trace elements, such as stomatitis, angular stomatitis, glossitis and some skin diseases in spring, all of which are due to nutritional disorders caused by eating less fresh vegetables. Therefore, when spring comes, people must eat more vegetables. There are few fresh vegetables in early spring. At this time, vegetables that are refrigerated, dried, pickled and pickled in winter can come in handy. Such as pickled radish, ginger, onion, cabbage, mustard, pepper, mustard tuber and so on. Eat more wild vegetables in spring. Wild vegetables, such as shepherd's purse, purslane, dandelion, plantain, elm, bamboo shoots and so on. Growing in the suburbs, it has little pollution, simple eating method, rich nutrition and obvious health care effect. Nowadays, growing vegetables in greenhouses has gradually changed the situation that fresh vegetables are in short supply in spring. You can eat fresh vegetables at any time in a convenient place. Such as spinach, celery, rape, water bamboo, lettuce, Chinese toon, green beans and so on. The soup in spring should be mainly carrots, radishes, kelp, wax gourd, tomatoes and bamboo shoots, with chicken liver, pig liver and shredded lean meat. Soup should be light and delicious. Eat some health porridge for breakfast or dinner, such as chicken liver japonica rice porridge, leek japonica rice porridge, pig liver japonica rice porridge, etc.
summer
Heat-clearing food should be eaten in midsummer, and dampness-promoting food should be eaten in long summer (June of the lunar calendar). These foods include watermelon, bitter gourd, dark plum, strawberry, tomato, mung bean, cucumber, lettuce, asparagus and watercress.
Summer is a season of frequent human diseases, especially intestinal infectious diseases. At this time, eating more sterilized vegetables can effectively prevent diseases, such as garlic, onion, leek, green onion, leek, green garlic and garlic seedlings. These vegetables are rich in broad-spectrum fungicides, which can kill and inhibit various cocci, bacilli, fungi and viruses.
In summer, the human body is full of yang and weak in yin. Eating more warm food will help to nourish the yang. It is best to drink some porridge for breakfast and dinner, which can quench thirst, cool off summer heat and nourish the body. For example, red bean porridge has the functions of tonifying kidney, eliminating edema and treating beriberi; Lotus leaf porridge can relieve summer heat, clear stomach and moisten intestines, quench thirst and detoxify, and treat sore throat; Lotus seed porridge can strengthen the spleen and stomach, replenish qi and strengthen the will, and has certain curative effect on diarrhea, insomnia, nocturnal emission and leukorrhagia.
Work and rest in summer, go to bed late and get up early, do not hate the continuous high temperature, and exercise properly. Take a proper nap, but the time should not be too long, preferably within 1 hour. Don't let the electric fan blow directly when you sleep. If it is too hot, let the electric fan blow against the ceiling. It is not suitable for sleeping in the open air at night, because the hot air in summer is steaming outside, the pores are open, and the body is most vulnerable to wind, cold and humidity, which can seriously cause numbness of hands and feet and facial paralysis. It should not be too late to enjoy the cool before going to bed, and it should not be enjoyed in the shade, aisle or balcony for a long time.
autumn
Autumn diet should follow the principle of "nourishing yin and preventing dryness", and diet should nourish yin and moisten dryness. The specific scheme is as follows:
[It is very important to nourish the lungs]
Autumn breath should be in the lungs. Lung is an important respiratory organ of human body and the source of qi, and the rise and fall of lung qi is related to the length of life. The dry climate in autumn is easy to hurt lung yin and make people suffer from respiratory diseases such as dry nose, sore throat, cough and chest pain, so pay attention to nourishing the lungs in diet. Eat foods that nourish yin and moisten dryness, such as tremella, sugar cane, bird's nest, pear, sesame, lotus root, spinach, black-bone chicken, pig lung, soybean milk, caramel, duck eggs, honey, black-bone fish and olives. In addition, you can also eat some medicated diets appropriately, such as: Shenmai Tuanyu, honey steamed lily, olive sour plum soup and so on.
[Less pungent and more sour]
In autumn, the lung function is on the high side. Eating too much spicy food will make the lung qi more vigorous and further hurt the liver qi, so eat less spicy food in autumn, such as onions, ginger, garlic, leeks and peppers. On this basis, eat more sour food, such as apple, pomegranate, grape, mango, cherry, grapefruit, lemon, hawthorn, tomato, water chestnut and so on.
[Eat more porridge]
The weather is still hot in early autumn, the air is humid and sultry, and the fruits and vegetables are ripe in autumn, so it is difficult to protect people from overeating and damage the spleen and stomach. Therefore, eating more porridge in autumn morning can not only strengthen the spleen and nourish the stomach, but also bring a refreshing day. In autumn, we often eat porridge: hawthorn rice porridge, pear rice porridge, rabbit rice porridge, white radish rice porridge, almond rice porridge, orange peel rice porridge, persimmon rice porridge and so on.
【 Appropriate supplement of fitness soup 】
Autumn diet is based on nourishing yin and moistening dryness. On this basis, drinking some fitness soup at lunch and dinner every day can moisten the spleen, nourish yin and prevent dryness, on the other hand, it can supplement nutrition and strengthen the body. Common soups eaten in autumn are: lily winter melon soup, pigskin tomato soup, hawthorn sparerib soup, carp hawthorn soup, silver carp head soup, eel soup, red bean crucian carp soup, duck rack tofu soup, wolfberry leaf tofu soup, oyster mushroom tofu soup, oyster mushroom egg soup and mushroom laver soup.
Life adjustment
The climate changes greatly in autumn. It is hot and humid in early autumn, dry before and after Mid-Autumn Festival, and cool in late autumn. Therefore, people should be vigilant and pay attention to health preservation in their daily lives.
[Sleep regulation]
In autumn, the wind is strong and the lung qi converges. It is advisable to "go to bed early and get up early" when sleeping, and it is better to lie with your head facing west when sleeping. In late autumn, the climate is cold, so it is not appropriate to sleep with the door closed all day or with your head covered at night. It is necessary to develop the habit of often opening the window and sleeping at night, keep indoor air circulation and reduce respiratory diseases.
winter
The winter diet should follow the principles of "nourishing yin in autumn and winter", "tonifying kidney to prevent cold" and "worrying about Pingyang", and the diet should focus on nourishing yin to suppress yang and increasing calories.
【 tonifying kidney first 】
Cold should be in the kidney. Kidney is the motive force of human life and the "innate foundation" of human body. In winter, the yang of the human body is suppressed, and the physiological activities of the human body also converge. At this time, the kidney should not only prepare enough energy to maintain the heat expenditure in winter, but also store some energy for the coming year, so it is very important to tonify the kidney at this time. In diet, we should always pay attention to the nursed back to health of the kidneys, pay attention to the supplement of calories, eat more animal foods and beans, and supplement vitamins and inorganic salts. Dog meat, mutton, goose, duck, soybean, walnut, chestnut, fungus, sesame, sweet potato and radish are all suitable foods in winter.
【 Warm food should not be eaten hard 】
Sticky food is mostly cloudy, and eating this kind of food in winter is easy to damage the spleen and stomach. Moreover, food overheating is easy to damage the esophagus, and after entering the stomach, it is easy to cause heat accumulation in the body and cause diseases; If the food is too cold, it will easily stimulate the blood vessels in the spleen and stomach and make the blood flow poor. However, the decrease of blood volume will seriously affect the blood circulation of other organs and endanger human health. Therefore, the diet in winter should be gentle.
"More bitter and less salty"
In winter, the function of kidney is high. If you eat more salty food, kidney qi will be more abundant, which will greatly hurt the heart, weaken its strength and affect human health. Therefore, eat less salty food in winter to prevent excessive kidney water; Eat more bitter food, nourish the heart and enhance kidney function. Commonly used foods are: betel nut, orange, pig liver, sheep liver, kohlrabi, lettuce, vinegar, tea and so on.
Life adjustment
In winter, in order to resist the cold, people take various measures to keep warm, but the methods must be proper to achieve the purpose of health preservation. Therefore, winter health needs:
[Sleep regulation]
Go to bed early and get up late in winter, and it is best to get up after the sun comes out. Because going to bed early can maintain human yang and keep the body warm, while getting up late can nourish human yin. Do it at sunrise, get up and stop the cold, and ask for its warmth. Don't sleep with your head covered when it is warm. If the air in the bed is not circulating, there will be less and less oxygen. Over time, the air will become turbid. When people sleep in such an environment, they will feel chest tightness, nausea, or wake up from sleep with a cold sweat and feel tired the next day.
