Not wet: The bedroom should be ventilated at noon every day, bedding and clothes should be kept dry and breathable, and loose cotton-padded jacket should be worn in spring to avoid eczema. In addition, don't choose wet places to exercise, and dry them in time after sweating.
No freezing: The weather is cold and hot in spring, so it is necessary to follow the theory of "covering in spring" and it is not appropriate to take off the cotton-padded clothes immediately. When changing clothes, we should follow the principle of "the lower thickness is thinner". First of all, we should reduce some coats and trousers. Later, the lower body would rather be hot than cold to help nourish the yang. In particular, the elderly with chronic bronchitis and emphysema and young women with a history of dysmenorrhea should try their best to keep their bodies "neither frozen nor cold" in early spring.
Not sour: Spring diet should be "sour and sweet", because liver yang is hyperactive in spring. If you eat acidic food again, it will easily lead to excessive liver qi, while liver exuberance will easily damage the spleen and stomach. Therefore, the spring diet should avoid acid. Acidic foods include mutton, dog meat, quail, fried peanuts, fried melon seeds, marine fish, shrimps and crabs. It is advisable to eat sweet and spleen-strengthening products, such as yam, bamboo shoots, spinach, jujube and leek.
Don't be angry: spring is a time when liver yang is strong, and you are upset, so be open-minded and harmonious. Depression can lead to stagnation of liver qi, decreased immunity, and easily lead to psychosis, liver disease, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, etc.
Nourish the liver
Tomb-Sweeping Day is mainly the season to sweep graves and pay homage to the dead. Children from other places should try to get back to their hometown to worship their ancestors, which will inevitably lead to physical decline. In addition, when they pay homage to their deceased relatives, their mood will inevitably be heavier, which will easily lead to emotional excitement and increase the burden on our liver. Therefore, during our stay in Tomb-Sweeping Day, we should pay attention to protecting the liver, drink less and eat less greasy food when we return home to worship our ancestors.
Sweet taste nourishes the spleen and stomach, and yam cooks red dates. Eating more sweets can not only nourish the spleen and stomach, but also help the growth of yang in spring and the release of liver qi. Among sweets, yam and jujube are most recommended. Yam is sweet and flat, benefiting qi and strengthening the spleen. Regular consumption can improve the body's immunity and effectively prevent the occurrence of gastrointestinal diseases such as gastritis and gastric ulcer. Jujube is not only good for the spleen, but also can invigorate qi and nourish blood, especially suitable for women. In the warm and cold season, prepare yam, red dates, medlar, yellow rock sugar, rice and other materials, cook a pot of yam and red dates porridge, and have a happy meal with the whole family, which is healthy and warm. In addition, glutinous rice, black rice, oats and other cereals, beef and various fish, pumpkins, lentils, longan, strawberries and other fruits and vegetables are also good liver-nourishing choices.
Prevent a cold
Although Qingming is spring, the climate is really changeable during this period, and it rained in many cities all over the country in previous years, which led to a sudden drop in temperature. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent colds in Qingming. So keep warm before and after Tomb-Sweeping Day to avoid catching a cold. During this period, you can add more protein to your diet and eat more fruits rich in vitamin C. ..
It is very important to inhibit bacteria and prevent colds. Before and after Tomb-Sweeping Day, humidity increased, and various bacteria and viruses became more active. At this time, you should eat more foods that can inhibit bacteria and drive away cold. Leek, onion, garlic, konjac, coriander and ginger all belong to this category. Onion is warm and sweet, and has the reputation of "natural bactericide". Eating onions in time can not only dispel yin and cold, but also strengthen the spleen and promote digestion, regulate qi and stomach.
The climate changes greatly in spring, which is easy to cause liver-fire stagnation. Eat some foods that clear away heat and damp, such as buckwheat, coix seed, spinach, eggplant, shepherd's purse, mushrooms and so on.
In addition, cold foods such as cucumber, wax gourd and mung bean sprouts will hinder the growth of yang in the body in spring, so it is better to eat less.
Nowadays, wild vegetables are in season. Shepherd's purse, amaranth, houttuynia cordata, horsehead orchid, platycodon grandiflorum, etc. Are competing to become people's table food. Wild vegetables are fresh, tender and delicious, with a fragrant smell, which makes people never tire of eating them and can't put them down. However, most wild vegetables are cool and should not be eaten more. So when cooking these vegetables, try to put more warm seasonings, such as pepper, onion and garlic, ginger and so on.
Regulate mood and prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents
Spring is the "rebound" period of myocardial infarction, stroke and other diseases, and Qingming holiday is also a memorial service. At this time, it is very easy to lead to the recurrence of some cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Emotional fluctuation will directly affect the fluctuation of blood pressure, which will directly affect the blood supply to the heart. Therefore, patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases should control their emotions, monitor the changes of blood pressure at all times and take timely treatment measures.
Experts remind that the prevention of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases is much more meaningful than the most effective treatment. During the Qingming period, the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, and the cold and hot weather has the greatest impact on the people with poor resistance. These people are most vulnerable to wind and cold, causing physical discomfort or aggravating the original condition. When the seasons alternate, it is most likely to cause nervous system diseases such as stroke and cerebral hemorrhage. Running around, overworking, neglecting to keep warm, and mood swings often aggravate the illness. People with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and hypertension should pay special attention not to be tired or sad, and remind themselves to stabilize their emotions.
