1, How to keep fit in spring
First, drink scented tea to detoxify.
In winter, people like to eat hot food, hot pot soup pot and a little wine. The gastrointestinal tract is warm all winter. It is because you eat a lot of hot food in winter that in spring, you need to reduce the burden on your stomach and clear your intestines and detoxify. To detoxify the body, you must ensure that the stool is unobstructed. Drinking a cup of light salt water in the morning can help you urinate and detoxify. People with high blood pressure can switch to warm water, and people with low blood sugar can have a cup of honey water, which is equally effective.
Self-massage is also a great way to relieve constipation and detoxify. Knead clockwise around the navel for at least 36 times a day, and press Tianshu point at the left and right fingers of the navel until you feel sore, which has a laxative effect. Spring also pays attention to drinking spring tea, whether it is green tea or scented tea, which can play the role of detoxification, refreshing and invigorating qi. Jasmine tea, in particular, has a fragrant smell and a better refreshing effect.
Second, do morning exercises to stretch your muscles.
Spring is a season suitable for morning exercise, which can completely relax the body that has been imprisoned for a winter. Old people are suitable for walking. In parks with good air, they can take a deep breath, stretch their legs and stretch their muscles. As the saying goes, "the tendon is one inch long, and the life span is extended by ten years". Proper stretching of ligaments is helpful to the smooth flow of qi and blood in the body, and can also play a role in relieving pain and detoxifying. Besides outdoor sports, you can also go out for an outing and feel the freshness of nature.
Third, comb your hair in the sun.
To raise yang in spring, you should bask in the sun more, especially when you get up early, combing your hair while basking in the sun or massaging Baihui point on your head can help people increase yang and nourish the five internal organs. Spring needs to nourish the liver, "the liver begins to understand the eyes", so raising the eyes can also protect the liver. People are advised to relax, face the sun, close their eyes and roll their eyes for more than ten minutes every day.
Fourth, the diet is less sour and more sweet.
Sun Simiao's "Qian Jin Fang" records that the diet in spring should be "sour and sweet", because too much acidic food in spring will lead to excessive liver fire and damage the spleen and stomach, so we should eat more warm and sweet food to help digestion. In the relationship between five zang-organs and five flavors, sour taste has astringent effect, which is not conducive to the growth of Yang Qi and the release of liver qi. Eating too much acid will damage Yang Qi.
5. Eat more Toona sinensis and coriander.
In early spring, a plate of scrambled eggs with Toona sinensis, or chopped Toona sinensis, with some oil and salt, is the best health-keeping home-cooked dish. Aromatic vegetables such as Toona sinensis and coriander have dredging effect, which can help the human yang to rise. Eating more warm foods in spring, such as ginger, onion, chicken, and bamboo shoots, peas, etc., will help the yang to rise and get rid of the sluggish state in winter.
2. Precautions for eating fruit in spring
1, avoid eating fruit immediately after meals.
Eating fruit immediately after a meal will not help digestion, but will cause flatulence and constipation. Therefore, it is advisable to eat fruit 2 hours after meals or 1 hour before meals.
2. Don't rinse your mouth when eating fruit.
Some fruits contain a variety of fermented sugars, which are very corrosive to teeth. If you don't rinse your mouth after eating, fruit residues in your mouth can easily cause dental caries.
3. Avoid eating too much fruit.
Excessive consumption of fruit will lead to copper deficiency in human body, increase cholesterol in blood and cause coronary heart disease. Therefore, it is not advisable to eat too much fruit in a short time.
4, eating fruit is unsanitary
Eating rotten fruits, as well as fruits without dust-proof and fly-proof equipment and incomplete cleaning and disinfection, such as strawberries, mulberries and watermelon slices, are prone to digestive tract infectious diseases such as dysentery, typhoid fever and acute gastroenteritis.
5. Fruits should not be disinfected with alcohol.
Although alcohol can kill bacteria on the surface of fruit, it will change the color, fragrance and taste of fruit. Alcohol and acids in fruits will reduce the nutritional value of fruits.
6. Avoid peeling raw fruits.
Some people think that the vitamin content in the peel is higher than that in the pulp, so when eating fruit, eat it with the skin. As we all know, when fruit is damaged by diseases and insect pests, pesticides are often sprayed, which will soak and remain in the wax of the peel, so the pesticide residue in the peel is much higher than that in the pulp.
