The vernal equinox actually has two meanings:

First, on this day, the sun is almost directly on the equator, and the northern and southern hemispheres are divided equally day and night, each for 12 hours. After that, the direct sunlight position gradually moved northward, and the northern hemisphere began to have long days and short nights.

Second, in ancient times, it was spring from beginning of spring to the long summer, and the vernal equinox coincided with the three months of spring, and the spring was equally divided. Therefore, the "vernal equinox" was also called "Japan-China" or "day and night equinox" in ancient times.

At this time, the weather is sunny and the warblers are flying and the grass is lush. May the beauty of the vernal equinox be connected with you.

1. Adjustment of daily life: get up early and sleep late less.

The spring equinox regimen should follow the principle of spring regimen, such as staying up late and getting up early, appropriately reducing sleep and increasing activity time, so that the yang of the human body can grow like the yang of nature. Too much sleep is easy to make the human body's yang stagnate in the body, which is not conducive to "nourishing yang in spring and summer."

The transition from "going to bed early and getting up late" in winter to "going to bed late and getting up early" in spring needs a gradual adaptation process. Don't be too eager to change, but gradually change your sleep habits according to the changes of day and night time in nature.

Step 2 increase exercise time

Because the yang is active, moderate exercise has a long-term effect on the yang of human body. Spring is the season when everything in nature recovers and all kinds of creatures flourish. People should also conform to the laws of nature, relax after getting up, take a leisurely walk in the yard and relax.

The weather gets warmer, the days get longer, and the temperature, sunshine and precipitation increase. Outdoor sports, jogging, Baduanjin, square dance, etc. Can be appropriately increased, and the exercise time should be gradually increased.

3, pay attention to dressing: slow hair.

The yang of the human body always diverges upward and outward, and it is considered that the head is the meeting point of all yang, and the six yang meridians in the the twelve meridians of the human body are all gathered in the head and face. Therefore, in order to develop the yang of the human body, the head and the surrounding skin must be in a state of relaxation and relaxation.

In spring, the climate changes greatly, and clothes should be "thin on the top and thick on the bottom". The clothes on the lower part of the body are slower to wear than those on the upper part, which can nourish yang and collect yin, which can be described as the best of both worlds.

4. Emotional tone: happy and optimistic

In spring, liver-qi is the main tone. Through good psychological adjustment, it can promote the growth and relaxation of liver-qi, which plays an important role in the smooth regulation of qi and blood in the whole body, thus maintaining the normal operation of qi and blood in the whole body. Optimistic, not depressed, not angry, not overworked, so as not to increase the burden on the liver.

Patients with liver disease should be broad-minded and calm. The liver governs anger, and anger extremely hurts the liver, forcing qi and blood up and down, which is prone to hyperactivity of liver yang, dizziness, hypertension and stroke. Emotional stagnation is also a taboo in spring, because it will lead to stagnation of liver qi, aggravate the symptoms of systemic stagnation, and easily lead to depression.

5, diet aftercare: green, sweet.

Cyan and green enter the liver. In spring, you should eat more green and cyan fruits and vegetables to help the liver-qi grow and clear the deficiency fire. Because pungent flavor mainly diverges and sour flavor mainly converges, pungent flavor should be dominant and acid consumption should be less, which is beneficial to the release of liver. At the same time, you can eat more sweet ones to supplement the spleen and stomach of the human body.

Recommended foods are millet, chicken, green onions, bean sprouts, spinach, ginger, garlic, glutinous rice, jujube, carrots, cauliflower, bamboo shoots, Chinese cabbage and so on.
