Liver belongs to wood, corresponding to the spring season. Life sprouts in spring, nature is full of vitality and everything is thriving. Man is a part of nature and is closely related to nature. The liver belongs to wood, which stretches and sprouts like a tree. (It means that the liver can dredge, relax and keep the whole body unobstructed,) but it is too late, so we should pay attention to nourishing and regulating the liver at this time of spring.
Prevent going too far, going too far. "On the contrary, it hurts the liver, turns cold in summer, and has fewer elders." If spring violates this growth law of nature, it will damage our liver, resulting in insufficient consumption of qi in summer, and cold lesions will appear in summer. So keeping in good health in spring can give us a good start this year.
Not specific enough and too specific:
The ideal state of spring is that the liver qi rises smoothly, so spring should make our liver qi stretch and Yang Qi rise. If there are some obstacles in the process of Yang Qi's rise at this time, such as Yang Qi rising too much, it may lead to an increase in anger;
If the rise of yang is restrained, it may lead to liver depression. Because the liver likes to regulate evil depression, it should be stretched, not suppressed, nor excessively vented.
Just like some people, in the transitional season from winter to spring, they may feel unwell, such as feeling particularly tired, weak and sleepy in spring; Others will have poor sleep, dry mouth and bitter taste, and their mood is particularly prone to fluctuations.
In fact, most of these are because our liver qi rises too much, or the qi rising from the liver is stagnant, so it is very important to nurse our liver and sort out the rising process of Yang Qi.
Therefore, we should pay attention to less acid and more sweetness in diet.
Because we all know that acid has the function of convergence, so don't converge too much when the yang is rising. After convergence, it is easy to affect the rise of liver yang, so eat less acidic food.
You can eat more sweets, and the sweetness enters the spleen and stomach, because the relationship between the liver and the spleen and stomach is relatively close. When the liver qi is too strong, it is easy to kill our spleen, so we should raise our spleen and stomach at this time. There are many sweets, such as pumpkin, pumpkin, jujube and so on.
In addition, in the process of rising liver qi in spring, we should pay special attention to regulating our emotions. Try to be less angry, embrace nature more and do more outdoor activities, which is conducive to the comfort of our liver.
If we are in a state of anxiety and depression most of the time at this time, it will affect the relaxation of liver qi. In fact, it is easy to have adverse effects on the physical symptoms of the next year, such as qi and blood discomfort, which is easy to stagnate qi and blood stasis.
Another special reminder is that the rise of yang in spring is actually a process of slow growth of yang, so don't heat up blindly. If you want to take some tonic, everyone should take it according to their own situation. If we really need tonic, then we can take some supplements appropriately; If the body does not need tonic, taking too much tonic may lead to excessive yang, and some liver fire, blood heat and damp heat appear in the body.
In addition, in terms of sleep, many people are prone to spring sleep, but in fact we need to lie down and get up early at night.
Try to get up early in the morning and go to bed at night according to the normal schedule. In this case, it is also conducive to the expansion of our yang. Lying at night and getting up early, striding in court, being slowed down, so that life, living without killing, giving without taking, rewarding without punishment, this spring should be the way to keep fit.
Therefore, in spring, everyone can adjust their liver qi according to these health preservation methods, which is more beneficial to our health.
