There is a cloud in Huangdi Neijing: nourishing yin in autumn and winter, nourishing yang in spring and summer. Many people may be surprised that it is already very cold in autumn and winter, and you still let me nourish yin. It's already very hot in spring and summer, why do you want me to raise Yang?

Chinese medicine believes that man is a product of nature, and life activities must follow the laws of nature in order to ensure good health and prevent all diseases from invading. This truth is easy to understand, just like treating a flood. Dayu's father blocked the flood, and as a result, the flood broke through the dam. Dayu used dredging to control the flood well. The same is true of people. Following the laws of nature means keeping in good health, and violating the laws of nature means self-destruction.

So, what are the natural laws of spring and summer? In spring, the weather gets warmer, everything recovers, everything is renewed, and everything begins to shine. That is what we usually say, the yang begins to sprout and the yin begins to close gradually. It is a process in which the yang is born and the yin is destroyed. And summer is the most vigorous time for all things to grow, and the sun is also the most vigorous time. That is to say, in these two periods, it is natural for all living things to release yang without suppressing it, and so are we.

1, diet regulates yang.

Because the yin disappears and the yang grows in spring, you can eat more foods that warm and nourish the yang, as well as seasonal vegetables in spring, which will help to enhance the yang. Choosing warm food should take into account the principle of nourishing yang without hurting yin. Usually you can eat more longan, jujube, brown sugar, millet, yam, poria cocos, lotus seeds, coix seed and so on. Don't eat too much cold food in your diet. If there are obvious signs of getting angry, such as bitter mouth and sore throat, you can make some honeysuckle tea to drink.

At the same time, if the weather is warm and cold in early spring, the diet should not be supplemented. Should be based on helping yang and benefiting qi, you can eat more leeks and ginger.

Dietary advice:

Fried Eggs with Leek and jiaozi with Leek: Leek can strengthen yang and relieve constipation, and has the functions of "tonifying kidney and strengthening yang, stopping ejaculation and warming waist and knees", which has a good effect on soreness of waist and knees, impotence and nocturnal emission. Leek is warm and beneficial to people, especially in early spring and February. Take it once or twice a week. People with yin deficiency and liver fire can eat leeks in the morning, because they should nourish yin in the morning and nourish yin at night. If they eat leeks that warm and tonify the yang at night, people with yin deficiency will easily get upset at night.

Stir-fried garlic with garlic juice: garlic is especially suitable for people with gastrointestinal dysfunction. It can also promote insulin secretion and prevent diabetes.

Stir-fried spinach soup spinach: spinach is rich in iron, which can not only enrich blood, protect liver and improve eyesight, but also easily combine with calcium to form calcium oxalate and stones because of oxalic acid. Therefore, it is suggested that spinach should not be used in the side furnace, and hot water should be used first to remove 80% oxalic acid. Others such as onion, coriander, ginger, onion and lentils are suitable for spring consumption.
