When spring returns to the earth, the yang of nature begins to rise, and everywhere is full of thriving vitality. However, the yin cold in spring when the yang is rising has not subsided, especially in early spring, and the temperature is still low most of the time. Moreover, in spring, when the temperature changes alternately, the climate changes frequently, or it is sunny and sunny; Or it's rainy and freezing. Even during the day, the temperature difference between day and night fluctuates, with cool in the morning, cold at night and warm during the day. How should people pay attention to their own health care in the face of the cold and warm spring climate?

Protect Yang Qi.

Traditional Chinese medicine health theory holds that "spring and March are called Chen, heaven and earth are born, and everything is glorious." The human body should adapt to this climate change, lay a solid foundation for a year's health, and pay special attention to maintaining the yang.

Take clothes as an example, the upper body is yang and the lower body is yin. In spring and summer, clothes should be reduced first, and then tops should be reduced;

Take diet as an example, you can eat onions, ginger, garlic, leeks and so on. Properly, this can not only dispel the cold, but also help stimulate hair growth activities in the body;

Take medicine tonic as an example. Qi is yang and blood is yin. In the spring, it is advisable to take products that benefit qi and clear away profits, such as Buzhong Yiqi Pill.

Take sports as an example. Movement is yang, and quietness is yin. In spring, you should moderately increase the amount of exercise, but don't sweat, so as not to hurt the yang.

Put on more clothes.

There is an old life proverb in our country, "Spring covers the autumn and it freezes". This proverb tells us that in the early spring, you should never take off your cotton-padded clothes too early, and your clothes should increase or decrease at any time with the climate change. Otherwise, the wind-cold qi will take advantage of it, leading to colds, upper respiratory tract infections, chronic bronchitis, pneumonia, pulmonary heart disease and so on. In spring, the climate is neither cold nor hot, and the wind is dominant.

Yigan Yiping

In spring, the yang rises, and human metabolism begins to flourish. Chinese medicine has the saying that "the liver is flourishing in spring". Excessive liver qi affects the spleen and stomach, so it is easy to weaken the spleen and stomach in spring. Chronic peptic ulcer, chronic gastritis and chronic liver disease mostly occur in spring.

Therefore, spring health care should pay attention to this physiological feature, and diet should be "sour and sweet" to nourish the temper. Don't drink too much, and don't eat too many rice cakes, which will hurt the spleen and stomach and make it difficult to digest. "At this time, you can eat some sweets, such as yam, coix seed, lotus seed, jujube, water chestnut, tremella and so on. It is not advisable to drink too much, and eat less indigestible foods such as greasy and glutinous rice balls; In addition, nature provides many wild vegetables for human beings in spring, such as shepherd's purse, Malantou, Portulaca oleracea, Toona sinensis, Artemisia capillaris, etc., which are not only nutritious, but also have certain therapeutic effects, and should not be missed.

Create spring scenery

Living environment is closely related to human health, which has long been recognized by ancient health experts. The weather gets warmer in spring and nature is full of vitality. At this time, people should seize the opportunity to do more activities in areas with abundant sunshine and high green coverage. Warm sunshine in spring can kill bacteria and viruses and prevent osteoporosis; Green space can adjust the temperature, humidity and carbon dioxide concentration in the air, and play a role in preventing wind, dust, sterilization, noise reduction and relieving nervous tension, which is of great benefit to physical and mental health.

At this time, people can improve their living environment by creating a small environment suitable for living. For example, planting flowers, keeping goldfish and aquatic plants can not only nourish feelings, but also preserve health; At the same time, Qin Ying should open doors and windows, strengthen air circulation, keep indoor and outdoor temperature balance as much as possible, and reduce the adverse effects of strong temperature difference on people.

Strengthen exercise

As the saying goes, "A year's plan lies in spring." Spring is a good time to exercise. Because in the cold winter, people are wrapped in thick cotton-padded clothes, the functions of body temperature regulation center and internal organs are reduced to varying degrees, coupled with reduced activity, muscles and ligaments can not be exercised, and people easily feel tired. Sunny spring is most conducive to the human body to spit out the old and absorb the new, absorb the essence of nature, nourish the zang-fu organs and transform them into Jingxue. At this time, people should choose exercise according to their physical strength and hobbies. If it is to prevent the premature decline of organ system function and improve cardiopulmonary function and metabolic function, you can choose endurance events such as jogging, mountaineering, climbing stairs and cycling; If you want to relax and eliminate fatigue, you can choose gentle and rhythmic activities, such as walking, qigong, Tai Ji Chuan, self-care massage and so on.

Need to be reminded that the weather changes quickly in spring, so you can't wear too little clothes for morning exercise; It is not advisable to sweat during exercise, and it is better to sweat slightly; Some elderly people with weak constitution or lack of exercise habits should exercise step by step to avoid sports injuries or other diseases; In addition, spring is also a vigorous period for the reproduction and growth of various germs. When you take part in outdoor sports, you should pay attention to health care and avoid unclean environmental places.

Regulating emotion

Why is it easy to get sick in spring? From the point of view of nature, on the one hand, the climate temperature difference in spring is large and changeable, on the other hand, when everything in nature recovers and enters the growing period, the functions of human nerves, blood vessels, endocrine and various tissues and organs will be adjusted adaptively to restore the balance with nature. For people with poor adaptability, they are prone to emotional depression and bad mood, and there are symptoms of "stagnation of liver qi, hyperactivity of liver yang and internal movement of liver wind" in Chinese medicine. From the point of view of modern medicine, digestive tract ulcers and bleeding are prone to occur. Patients with chronic liver disease are prone to abnormal liver function, especially the increase of alanine aminotransferase. Patients with mental illness and depression are prone to relapse, and patients with hypertension and stroke are also prone to onset.

Although there are many factors for the occurrence and development of diseases, emotional fluctuation is also an inducing factor, especially in spring. Therefore, it is very important to adjust mood in spring. The best way to overcome mood swings is to increase leisure activities, such as planting trees, raising flowers, playing the piano, playing chess, painting and calligraphy, fishing or short trips, so as to make people feel comfortable and harmonious.

Pay attention to windproof

The change of natural climate is closely related to human health and the occurrence and development of diseases under certain conditions. Great and rapid climate change is one of the characteristics of spring. The climate in spring, like the wind in nature, is "changeable", just like a child's face, which can change several times a day. Especially the invasion of "cold" in early spring, as long as you are not careful, people who are weak will easily get colds and respiratory infections.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "righteousness exists within, and evil cannot be done." In other words, colds and respiratory infections are mainly related to the decline of immune function. Therefore, strengthening the body resistance and eliminating pathogenic factors is the key to prevent diseases.

In spring, you should get up early every day, go for a walk in full of green and breathe fresh oxygen under the big tree, which is very beneficial to the health of nasal mucosa and lungs. You can also do breathing exercises like "playing the flute" to continuously improve your vital capacity; At the same time, massage the skin around the nasal cavity to improve the defense ability of the nasal cavity against "evil" gas.

For people who are prone to colds and respiratory infections, Astragalus membranaceus, Atractylodes macrocephala, Saposhnikovia divaricata and Zizyphus jujuba can be used instead of tea every day. Under the guidance of Chinese medicine, honey, ginseng, radix Pseudostellariae, Radix Astragali, Rhizoma Dioscoreae, Rhizoma Polygonati, Tremella and other drugs or foods can also be selected, which is of great benefit to strengthening physical fitness.

In addition, we should pay attention to keep warm in spring, pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and take rain gear when going out; Old people and children should avoid places where there are many people and the air is turbid. Once you get sick, especially the elderly and children, don't abuse antibiotics yourself. You should go to the hospital in time.
