There are "three taboos" and "four appropriateness" for spring health preservation. The more correct you do, the healthier you will be. So, how much did you do right? Below, she, director of the Center for Prevention of Diseases of Handan Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, explains some knowledge of spring health preservation in detail.
There are "three taboos" in spring health preservation.
One bogey: take off your clothes too fast.
In spring, the weather becomes warmer and warmer. Many young people put on their own clothes and shoes early on by their own firepower. In fact, this is very bad for their health.
Although it is already spring, the temperature is still warm and cold, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is relatively large, so it is necessary to prevent "late spring cold". Don't rush to "change seasons" at this time. Don't put away your winter clothes in a hurry. Wait until the temperature stabilizes before changing seasons. Pay attention to adding or subtracting clothes at any time. The climate change in spring is abnormal, and the temperature difference between morning and evening changes greatly. You can take a piece of clothing for spare, and cover it with a small blanket when you sleep at night to avoid the cold hurting the yang.
The so-called "spring cover" also means this. Some people who are prone to colds and colds can wear more clothes, while those who are afraid of heat should wear less. The general principle is to always pay attention to climate change and increase or decrease clothes at any time.
Two bogeys: indoor ventilation.
Spring, warm and humid environment, is the season of high incidence of colds and infectious diseases, so it is more important to open the window for ventilation. Frequent window ventilation to keep the indoor air fresh can effectively reduce or eliminate indoor pathogens of respiratory infectious diseases, which is one of the most important measures to prevent respiratory infectious diseases in spring.
It is recommended to open the window twice a day for ventilation, with at least 10 minute each time. The best time is 9: 00- 10: 00, or 13: 00- 14: 00.
Three bogeys: eat Qingre Jiedu tablets as soon as you get angry.
Many people, in spring, are prone to symptoms such as sore throat, oral ulcer and constipation. If you feel angry, just eat a bunch of heat-clearing and antidote at random. In fact, it is the biggest "fire fighting" taboo to use antipyretic powder to clear away heat and detoxify when you get angry.
Spring dominates hair growth, and dryness is a major feature. Many people will have symptoms such as dry mouth and dry stool. Traditional Chinese medicine divides "getting angry" into real fire and virtual fire, and it is necessary to extinguish the fire according to "igniting fire". For example, Niuhuang Jiedu Pill is useful for reducing excess fire, that is, the symptoms accompanied by dry stool, but it has little effect on excessive fire caused by spleen and stomach deficiency and cold.
To prevent excessive internal heat, eat more fruits and vegetables, drink plenty of water every day, defecate regularly, or drink some herbal tea, such as chrysanthemum, dandelion and honeysuckle, which can reduce excessive internal heat.
If the situation of getting angry has not been solved, you should see a doctor as soon as possible so as not to delay your illness.
There are "four suitability" for health preservation in spring.
Yi: Take part in more outdoor activities.
Spring outing is a good time for outdoor sports. The temperature is moderate and there is plenty of sunshine. Mountain climbing and cycling are both good sports. Because this kind of outdoor exercise is mostly long-term low-intensity exercise, it can be classified as aerobic exercise. Therefore, it can help to exercise cardiopulmonary function and consume energy, thus eliminating the fat that grows quietly in winter.
In spring, knowing more good friends and going outdoors are very beneficial to your health.
Second: Drink more herbal tea to relieve spring sleepiness.
In spring, many people generally feel sleepy and weak, which is the performance of spring sleepiness. Herbal tea is the best drinking time. Herbal tea tastes sweet and cool, and strong fragrant tea can promote the growth of human yang and dispel the cold evil accumulated in the human body in winter. It makes people feel refreshed and relieves the impact of spring sleep.
Rose tea: soothing the liver and relieving depression, improving mood. It has the reputation of "the holy medicine for relieving depression", which can make your mood "light and clear", soothe the liver and regulate qi, balance endocrine, regulate the liver and stomach, eliminate fatigue and improve physical fitness. It is suitable for drinking in spring.
Dandelion root tea: removing fire and diminishing inflammation, protecting liver and detoxifying. Dandelion is called "the best fire grass in spring" and is very suitable for drinking in spring. Dandelion enters the liver and stomach meridians and is good at clearing liver and purging fire. Dandelion can be added for dry mouth, bitter taste, halitosis, impatience and irritability, sore throat and short and red urine caused by liver and stomach heat. Moreover, dandelion has broad-spectrum antibacterial effect, also known as "natural antibiotic", which has good effects of removing fire, diminishing inflammation, clearing away heat and detoxifying, and has curative effects on a series of chronic symptoms such as sore throat, pharyngitis and tonsillitis caused by excessive internal heat. It also has a good function of protecting the liver and detoxifying, improving the detoxification ability of the liver and preventing liver injury. Soaking a cup in spring can promote liver health.
Jasmine tea: refreshing and calming. Jasmine tea is the most mellow fragrance among all kinds of herbal tea, and it is the top grade of drinking tea in spring. Jasmine flower has the functions of promoting qi circulation, relieving pain, relieving depression, dispersing stagnation and refreshing the brain. Drinking jasmine tea can not only calm the mood and cheer up the spirit, but also strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness, and relieve gastrointestinal discomfort and stomach pain.
Three benefits: nourishing liver and strengthening yang
Keeping in good health in spring, nourishing yang is the foundation, nourishing liver is the first, and diet should be light. It is suggested to add some acidic foods appropriately to meet the basic needs of the liver. Replenish enough water in time to reduce liver damage. Pay attention to regulating emotions and avoid getting angry and hurting the liver. Eat more warm food in spring, such as onions, garlic, leeks and other vegetables.
Four appropriate: detoxification and dampness elimination
In spring, everything germinates and everything flourishes. At this time, the toxins in the body also took the opportunity to spread out. So spring is also a good opportunity for us to get rid of toxins in our bodies, and we can get twice the result with half the effort if we adapt to the weather.
After the rain, the rainfall gradually increased and the ground humidity gradually increased. If we don't pay attention, it will easily lead to the invasion of external dampness into the body, which will cause a series of diseases and discomfort. Therefore, it is necessary to get rid of dampness in spring to avoid the harm of moisture to the body.
Eat more foods in your daily diet, such as cucumber, auricularia auricula, chrysanthemum, wax gourd, auricularia auricula, coix seed, gordon euryales, poria cocos, etc. Drink plenty of water every day to promote detoxification.
