However, spring is also the season of "bringing a hundred herbs back to life, and all diseases are prone to occur". The changeable climate in spring will reduce immunity and easily lead to the invasion of germs. We all need to pay more attention to these factors. Adapt the body to the changes of seasons.
What are the weather changes in spring?
With the arrival of spring, the temperature gets warmer, the weather changes greatly, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is large. When it is warm and cold, and the temperature changes suddenly, the air is dry and windy. Pay attention to the weather changes in spring and increase or decrease clothes appropriately.

In spring, windy weather increases and air quality declines, which is the high incidence period of allergic symptoms. Bloom's salivation in spring is easy to cause allergies, and it is also a high incidence period of allergic diseases such as asthma, allergic dermatitis and urticaria.

Gospel of Middle-aged and Old People: Deciphering the Spring Health Code from the Four Aspects of "Eating, Wearing, Living and Walking"
Eat-"nourish the liver first"
Eat more liver-nourishing food in spring. Because the five elements belong to wood in spring, which corresponds to the properties of the liver in the five internal organs of the human body, the spring diet should focus on nourishing the liver. Sun Simiao, a famous doctor in the Tang Dynasty, said: "It is advisable to keep sour and sweeten in spring to nourish the temper." It is also advocating the principle of "nourishing the liver first".
"Nourishing the liver" can eat more mild foods, detoxify and benefit qi, and improve liver function, such as lean meat, eggs, milk, honey, bean products and seasonal vegetables. . Eat less acidic food and don't be too greedy. We can sum up with such a jingle: "When spring comes, we should eat a light diet, eat more fresh vegetables and eat less wine and meat, so that health can always be around."
Wear-undress in hot weather and add cotton in cold weather.
Children's faces change three times a day in spring. Spring is a season with frequent colds, so clothes should be changed with the weather. As the saying goes, the temperature has just risen in spring, and the temperature difference is large, which is the time to "dress casually". After beginning of spring, don't change your thick clothes immediately, you can cut clothes according to the principle of "thick down". In addition, you need to exercise more in spring and don't wear too tight clothes. Mainly relaxed and comfortable.
Life-avoid humidity
"A thousand cold is easy to get rid of, but a wet one is difficult to get rid of" Moisture is the "number one killer" of health. The big problem in spring is humidity, and quilts and pillows at home are particularly uncomfortable to use when they are wet. At this time, sunlight is a good moistureproof agent. On sunny days, all clothes and quilts are moved to the sun to dry, which can remove moisture and kill bacteria and mites attached to them.
Attention should also be paid to dehumidification at home, and windows should be opened and ventilated in time. However, it is necessary to choose the right time and try to avoid opening the window in the morning and evening, because when the outdoor humidity is high during these two periods, you can choose noon with plenty of sunshine and high temperature for ventilation.
As the wettest place in the home, the bathroom will not only be moldy but also have a pungent smell if it is not managed in spring. Always turn on the exhaust fan and dry the ground. You can also put a handful of washing powder in a small bag, then poke a few small holes in the bag and put it in the corner. It can be recycled when not in use, which can not only eliminate dampness and smell, but also avoid waste.
Yang Qi who nourishes lines
Spring should be "yang-nourishing". The sun in spring is most abundant in the air of trees, rivers and lakes. These places can be used as the first choice for spring outing, which is conducive to relieving cough, relieving fatigue, relaxing nerves and lowering blood pressure.
Try to choose outdoor sports venues, because sunbathing is also a better way to nourish the yang, especially women can bask in their legs and palms to drive away the cold. As the temperature warms up in spring, the functions of various systems of the human body are also activated, and we should actively participate in outdoor sports that conform to nature, which is conducive to improving health.
After entering the spring, we should adapt to the characteristics of yang and strengthen exercise. Middle-aged and elderly friends can warm up by stretching leg press before exercise. You can choose running, brisk walking, doing exercises, flying kites, playing badminton and other sports to relax your bones and muscles, dredge your blood and improve your immunity.
In addition, in spring outdoor activities, try to choose sweat-absorbing clothes for exercise, and don't sweat too much. The cool breeze will not cause a cold or various respiratory diseases. Just a little sweaty.
