The theory of TCM health preservation holds that "spring corresponds to liver", that is to say, the climate characteristics of spring are closely related to human liver. In early spring, experts pointed out that nourishing and protecting the liver should start from four aspects: diet, daily life, exercise and emotion. Spring diet should be chosen according to personal physique, and ordinary healthy people do not advocate a lot of tonic. People who are particularly weak can eat supplements such as sea cucumber and cordyceps sinensis in moderation.
For healthy people, we should pay attention to a light diet in spring and don't overeat dry and spicy food.
At the same time, due to the rising of yang at this time, it is easy to hurt yin, so we should pay special attention to nourishing yin, and we can choose more foods such as lily, yam, lotus seeds and medlar.
Regarding the saying that "eat liver and tonify liver", Li Zhihong said that you can eat some pig liver in moderation, but you must ensure food hygiene. The three months of spring are the season when everything in nature recovers and all kinds of creatures flourish. People should also conform to the laws of nature, go to bed early and get up early, relax after getting up, take a leisurely walk in the courtyard and relax.
The transition from "going to bed early and getting up late" in winter to "going to bed late and getting up early" in spring needs a gradual adaptation process. Don't be too eager to change, but gradually change your sleep habits according to the changes of day and night time in nature. Exercise and health care in spring is the best time to restore physical vitality. Because the cold winter restricts people's exercise, the functions of the body's temperature regulation center and internal organs are weakened to varying degrees, especially the muscles and ligaments of the whole body, which need exercise to enhance the exercise function. In spring, people should take proper exercise, such as walking, jogging, gymnastics, Tai Ji Chuan and so on. Keep their vitality and enhance their immunity and disease resistance.
However, the climate in spring is characterized by large temperature difference and strong wind, so we should pay attention to wind and cold protection, so when encountering strong wind, we should appropriately reduce going out to exercise to avoid wind injury to the liver. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the liver belongs to wood, corresponding to spring, and its physiological characteristic is "depression", so anger hurts the liver. The physiological characteristic of the liver is that it prefers a relaxed and smooth mood to depression and boredom.
Experts pointed out that the key point of keeping in good health in spring is to keep a good mood, strive to be calm, angry and arrogant, and ensure the comfort of the liver.
Keep healthy in spring, be optimistic, not depressed or angry, and don't overwork, so as not to increase the burden on the liver. Patients with liver disease should be broad-minded and calm. In a busy, impetuous and tempting world, we must be "calm and unmoved" in order to maintain the stability of the internal environment and prevent the occurrence of mental illness.
