Preserve acid to sweeten and nourish temper;

Sun Simiao, a famous doctor in Tang Dynasty, said that "it is advisable to keep sour and sweet in spring to nourish temper", which means that when spring comes, people should eat less sour food and eat more sweet food, which is beneficial to the spleen and stomach.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that sour taste enters the liver and has astringent taste, which is not conducive to the growth of yang and the release of liver qi.

In addition, if the liver qi rises too much or stagnates, it is easy to damage the spleen soil and cause dysfunction of the spleen and stomach, while the sweet taste can tonify the deficiency and transport the qi of the spleen and stomach, such as jujube, yam and honey. It should be noted that sweetness refers to light, sweet, too sweet and greasy food that hinders the transportation of the spleen and stomach.

Precautions:

In the first month of Meng Chun, the weather is warm and cold, the yang is healthy, the yin is still strong, the temperature is unstable, and it is easy to feel foreign evils and induce various infectious diseases, so the physique is poor. In terms of diet, it is advisable to eat products that strengthen the stomach and warm the spleen. For example, jujube porridge can strengthen the spleen and stomach and help healthy qi. Ginger porridge can dispel cold and warm the stomach, and drive away the cold evil in early spring.

In mid-February, it is the time when spring warms bloom. At this time, the spring breeze is strong, and the common cold is easy to invade the human body, and symptoms of respiratory infection such as cough, asthma and sore throat appear. You should pay attention to keep warm. Patients with chronic stomach diseases are prone to symptoms such as fullness, pain, nausea and vomiting. They should be nursed back to health with a light diet, and they can choose sweet products such as carrot porridge and shepherd's purse porridge.
