Spring begins at the beginning of spring and goes through six solar terms: rain, fright, vernal equinox, Qingming and Grain Rain * * *, and ends the day before long summer. Spring is the best season of the year, full of yang, spring back to the earth, Vientiane updated and full of vitality. As the saying goes, "A year's plan lies in spring."

Therefore, we must do a good job in spring health care to lay the foundation for a year's health.

Principle 1: Choose staple food with high calorie in early spring, and pay attention to supplement enough protein.

In early spring, the temperature is still relatively cold, and the human body needs to consume some energy to maintain its cold-proof function. Therefore, the nutritional structure should be based on high calories. In addition to cereals, you should also choose foods such as soybeans, sesame seeds, peanuts and walnuts to supplement energy substances in time. In addition, cold stimulation will accelerate the decomposition of protein in the body, leading to the decline of the body's resistance and disease. Therefore, it is necessary to supplement high-quality protein in early spring, such as eggs, fish, shrimp, beef, chicken, rabbit meat and bean products.

Principle 2: appropriately increase the proportion of fruits and vegetables in the diet to get enough vitamins and inorganic salts.

Spring is also the season when the climate changes from cold to warm, and the temperature changes greatly. Bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms begin to relapse, and their vitality is enhanced, which is easy to invade the human body and cause diseases, such as angular stomatitis, glossitis, night blindness and some skin diseases. Therefore, the proportion of fruits and vegetables should be appropriately increased in the diet to obtain enough vitamins, such as fresh vegetables such as Chinese cabbage, rape, bell pepper and tomato, and fruits rich in vitamin C and having antiviral effects such as citrus and lemon. Yellow-green vegetables such as carrots and amaranth are rich in vitamin A, which can protect and enhance epithelial cells of upper respiratory mucosa and respiratory organs and enhance resistance to various pathogenic factors. Food rich in vitamin E should also be eaten to improve human immune function and enhance the body's disease resistance. This kind of food includes sesame, broccoli, cauliflower and so on.

Keeping in good health in spring and sticking to six methods will make you look good.

Principle 3: The diet should be light and avoid greasy, cold and irritating food.

Eat less high-fat foods such as fat in spring, because greasy foods are easy to feel full after eating, and the human body will feel tired. Diet should be warm, avoid cold. People with cold stomach can often eat ginger to drive away cold and warm stomach.

Principle 4: Spring diet should be sour and sweet, nourishing temper.

Spring is a season of vigorous liver qi. According to the theory of five elements in traditional Chinese medicine, liver belongs to wood, spleen belongs to soil, and soil and soil are combined, that is, hyperactivity of liver can hurt spleen and affect its digestive function. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that five flavors enter the five internal organs, acid enters the liver, and sweet enters the spleen. In view of this, the spring diet should be nursed back to health, and it is advisable to choose sweet and warm products, avoid sour taste, mainly to tonify the temper, and eat more jujube, yam and crispy rice.

Principle 5: According to the individual's physical condition and illness, symptomatic food supplement.

Motherland medicine puts forward that "spring health should be supplemented with food." However, according to the characteristics of the gradual increase of human yang in spring, we must choose a flat and clear diet to avoid backfiring. The following kinds of people are most suitable for spring tonic: middle-aged and elderly people with premature aging; People with various chronic diseases and slim figure; Those with backache, dizziness, sallow complexion and listlessness; The climate changes greatly in spring, and it is easy to catch a cold repeatedly after catching a cold; There was a history of asthma attack in spring before, but now there is no author; In summer, there are people with low fever in summer.

Anyone who belongs to the above situation can take advantage of the spring season and choose appropriate food supplement methods to prevent and treat diseases according to personal physique and illness. Details are as follows:

1. If the elderly have internal heat due to yin deficiency, they can choose nourishing food. Methods: This kind of food includes pear, lotus root, shepherd's purse, lily, turtle and so on.

2. People with deficiency and cold constitution can eat more isothermal foods such as walnuts and medlar.

3. People with heavy moisture should eat moist food, such as dried lotus leaves and lotus seeds.

For children and the elderly, you can usually cook some orange peel, radish, pear or water chestnut as tea.

Old people who are sick or recovered from illness should generally take cool, light, delicious and digestible foods as the main supplements, and rice porridge, barley porridge, red bean porridge, lotus seed porridge, green vegetable paste and pork floss can be selected. Avoid eating foods that are too sweet, fried, cold and indigestible, so as not to damage gastrointestinal function.

Principle 6: It is hard to buy a thousand dollars in spring, and it is just the right time to eliminate fat and detoxify.

There is an old saying: "a thousand dollars can't buy spring juice", which means "it's just the right time to eliminate fat and detoxify in spring". It is worth noting that we should not blindly believe in folk detoxification drugs. In fact, simple apples and fresh milk have a very good detoxification effect. Try drinking a glass of fresh milk and eating an apple in the morning. Mild and beneficial, but also has the effect of detoxification. Other fruits, such as strawberries, cherries and grapes, also have a good detoxification effect. There is also kelp and mung bean soup, because the colloidal components in kelp can promote the discharge of toxic substances in the body, and mung beans are cold and cool, which can clear away heat and detoxify. Therefore, if you drink this soup, the toxins will naturally be discharged with defecation.
