Spring has arrived. What to eat is good for your health?
Spring health care? From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, spring is a season that all the health experts have attached great importance to. Because this season is full of vigor and vitality, but it is also a season of reproduction and recovery of various germs and microorganisms, and diseases are easy to spread. Eat: More sweet and less sour is the principle of spring diet. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that spring corresponds to the liver in the five internal organs, which is prone to excessive liver qi, adversely affecting the spleen and stomach and hindering the normal digestion and absorption of food. Sweet food can nourish the spleen and stomach, while sour food enters the liver, and its sexual convergence. Eating more is not conducive to the growth of yang and the release of liver qi in spring, and it will also make the already vigorous liver qi more vigorous, causing greater harm to the spleen and stomach. This is also one of the reasons why diseases such as chronic gastritis and gastric ulcer are easy to recur in spring. On the issue of "tonic", healthy people can completely avoid tonic, while patients with chronic diseases can consult doctors for dialectical treatment in time according to the principle of nourishing yang in spring and summer, which can not only control old diseases, but also prevent new diseases, or use various ginseng to recuperate and strengthen their physique under the guidance of doctors, but never abuse tonic. According to Chinese medicine experts, people can eat more sweets, such as lean meat, eggs, milk, honey, bean products and fresh vegetables. Because in spring, the liver qi is strong, the temper is weak, the spleen and stomach dominate the limbs, the temper is not strong, and the limbs are weak, so the spleen should be supplemented. Medicine tonic is not as good as food tonic, and spleen tonic should eat more crucian carp, carrots, apples, yams and so on. Wear: clothes with four principles of spring covering and Chinese medicine health care. Chinese medicine pays attention to spring, summer, autumn harvest and winter storage. Winter is cold, and in spring, people begin to recover like plants, but spring is a time when all kinds of viruses are active. If the cold is not completely dispersed in spring, people are prone to get sick. Therefore, Chinese medicine should pay attention to health and disease prevention in dressing. According to Chinese medicine experts, "spring covering" focuses on keeping warm, and the period of "spring covering" should be in early spring, usually from early March to mid-April. The degree of "covering" also varies from person to person, and clothes should be increased or decreased according to their own physique. Generally speaking, "spring cover" can follow the following principles: increase or decrease clothes at any time. Pay attention to cold and warmth to help the human body grow yang and resist the invasion of foreign evils. It is more important for infants, the elderly and pregnant women. "Old patients" should pay more attention to cold and warmth to prevent the occurrence of diseases such as stroke and myocardial infarction. It is not good to cover too much. If you wear too much clothes and cover them too thick and tight, it will not only be bad for your body to keep out the cold, but also limit your activities. Sleep: take a nap to prevent spring sleep. After a long winter, the human body consumes a lot of yang. In early spring, people will feel very sleepy when the yang is insufficient. If there is a "spring sleep" phenomenon, we should pay attention to self-regulation.
