March 20th is the "vernal equinox" solar term. What should I eat in my diet and how should I keep in good health?
The vernal equinox is the fourth of the 24 solar terms. The arrival of spring indicates that most areas have entered a beautiful spring. Of course, China has a vast territory, so we can't generalize. Yesterday, it snowed in many places. The vernal equinox is of great significance, which means that day and night are equally divided, each accounting for 12 hours. After the vernal equinox, the weather is mild, rainy and sunny, and the average temperature can reach.

The ancients recorded that "the vernal equinox is yin and yang", that is to say, day and night, like the time of a day, are no longer short days and long nights, but will constantly change as the direct point of the sun moves northward.

After talking about the solar terms, what adjustments should we make to our diet? Remember "three eat two don't eat".

1, spring vegetables

Spring food is also spring food. There are many varieties here, such as bamboo shoots, shepherd's purse, spinach, Malantou, chrysanthemum, dandelion, Toona sinensis, leeks, mugwort leaves and so on. These can be called spring vegetables, which are delicious in season and convenient to pick. Can be cold, steamed and fried, especially these wild vegetables.

2, liver protection dishes

Nourish liver in spring, heart in summer, lung in autumn and kidney in winter. The liver also changes with the seasons. This time is spring and March, and it is most suitable for eating some foods that are good for the liver. These ingredients are hidden around us, just to see if you can find them. Here are some examples: pork liver, lotus root, purple grapes, spinach, black sesame, black-bone chicken and longan meat.

3.pineapple

Pineapple is a fruit listed in the Spring Festival. It is rich in 16 minerals and trace elements, which can effectively help absorption. Its sweet and sour juice can effectively dissolve fat, increase gastrointestinal peristalsis and achieve the effect of losing weight. Pineapple can be eaten raw or deep-processed, canned pineapple, pineapple juice and so on. I like to buy some pineapples at this time of year. Besides eating it raw, I can also cook fried rice with pineapple, which is sweet and delicious. Suitable for all ages.

1, too sour food

In spring, the liver qi is strong, and eating more sour food will make the liver function high, so we should control the amount of acid or not eat it at all. Friends who like to dip in jiaozi and drink hot and sour soup should pay attention as much as possible. Acidity will cause excess liver qi, which will damage the spleen and stomach, so eat less acidic food.

2. Cold food

Try not to eat cold food, including ice cubes, ice water, ice cream and frozen drinks, all year round. Cold can damage the spleen and stomach, which is very harmful, gathering dampness and producing phlegm, and hurting the whole body. Try not to eat.

Before and after the spring equinox and solar terms, the weather gradually gets warmer, which is especially suitable for germs and bacteria to spread indoors. Remember, opening the window for ventilation and planting some plants properly can improve air quality and negative ion concentration, at the same time, people can feel happy, improve their health, and keep the balance of yin and yang in their diet.
