How to keep in good health in spring is good for your health?
Keeping in good health in spring should follow the principle of nourishing yang and preventing wind. In spring, the human body's yang conforms to nature and radiates upward and outward. Attention should be paid to protecting the yang in the body, and any situation that damages the yang should be avoided. One. The five elements in spring belong to wood, and the liver in the five internal organs of the human body also belongs to wood, so spring gas passes through the liver. In spring, the liver qi is vigorous and rising, and people's spirit does it one brace up. However, if the liver qi rises too much or stagnates, it is easy to damage the liver, and cold lesions will appear in summer. Therefore, we should adapt ourselves to the change of the weather in time, adjust our daily diet and spiritual support accordingly, and strengthen the health care of the liver through "prevention before illness, prevention without change". Only by building and managing the detoxification factory of the liver can people not get sick. In this paper, three kinds of tonifying, interlining and overstepping of the liver meridian on the foot are specially recommended. 1, Dadun point Dadun point is the first point of the liver meridian, next to the nail seam inside the big toe. "Dun" means thick, and "Dadun" is particularly thick. Dadun point is also a well point, and "well" means the source. There is a "big pier" point on the edge of the toenail, which is closest to the second toe. "Dadun point" can be massaged or moxibustion, which can clear the liver and improve eyesight, and make the mind clear and refreshed. 2. Interplanetary points "Interplanetary points" are sewn on the big toe and the second toe. It's a fire, the liver belongs to wood, and wood makes a fire. If your liver is too angry, you will be relieved. And "Xingjian point" is the point for purging heart fire. Excessive liver fire in spring will cause toothache, cheek swelling, oral ulcer, nosebleeds, blisters on the tip of the tongue and other symptoms, indicating that fire enters the heart meridian from the liver meridian, and you can spread the heart fire from here by rubbing the "acupoints". 3. Taichong point "Taichong point" is sewn at the instep of the big toe 4 cm, which is called the first point of the human body. Some people compare "Taichong point" to the punching bag of the human body, because it is the original point and acupoint of the liver meridian and the fire point of the liver meridian, which can dissipate liver qi and liver fire. Therefore, pressing the "Taichong point" can flush out the stagnant qi in the human body to the maximum extent. 2. Precautions for Spring Diet Spring (from beginning of spring to long summer) is the season when everything grows and everything is renewed. We can sum it up with such a jingle: "Spring is getting warmer and warmer, and the diet should be lighter." We should eat more fresh vegetables and less spicy wine and meat so that our health and longevity can be guaranteed. " 1. The diet should be balanced. From the perspective of dietary science, the relative proportion of protein, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals should be maintained in spring to prevent overeating and avoid abnormal liver function and bile secretion. 2. According to the viewpoint of TCM, nourishing liver by diet in spring is the first priority, and nourishing yang in spring is the most important. In the theory of five elements, the liver belongs to wood, corresponding to spring, which mainly rises and occurs in spring. Therefore, patients with hypertension and coronary heart disease should pay more attention to aphrodisiac in spring. And spring is the peak season for bacteria and viruses to breed. The liver has the function of detoxification, and the burden is the heaviest. And because people's liver qi rises, it will also cause the recurrence of old diseases. For example, the rise of liver fire in spring will make the weak lung yin more virtual, then tuberculosis will take advantage of it. Chinese medicine believes that the human body governs the liver in spring, and the liver qi is naturally abundant in spring. If you don't keep in good health in spring, it's easy to hurt your liver qi. In order to adapt to the change of seasonal climate and maintain human health, we should pay attention to nourishing the liver first in diet conditioning. 3. Diet nourishing yang refers to the yang of the human body. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "yang is the external guard", which means that yang plays a defensive role in the human body and can make the human body strong and avoid the invasion of six evils in nature. In spring, in terms of diet, we should follow the principle of "nourishing yang in spring and summer" put forward in Huangdi Neijing, and eat more foods that warm and tonify yang, so as to enrich human yang, enhance human resistance and resist the invasion of common cold pathogens. Li Shizhen also advocated "fresh and tender dishes such as onion, garlic, leek, Polygonum hydropiper, Artemisia, mustard, etc." in Compendium of Materia Medica. It should be mixed. " On the other hand, because kidney yang is the foundation of human yang, supplementing yang in diet should also include warming and tonifying kidney yang. In spring, the yang of the human body is sufficient on the body surface, but insufficient in the body, so we should eat more things that nourish kidney yang in our diet. At present, in addition to Polygonum hydropiper, Artemisia annua and other wild vegetables have been rarely eaten, onions, garlic, leeks and so on are all good yang-nourishing products. 4. Eat more sweet and less sour. Sun Simiao, a famous doctor in the Tang Dynasty, said: "Spring should be sour and sweet to nourish the temper." It means that when spring comes, people should eat less sour and more sweet, which has the benefits of strengthening the spleen and stomach. Chinese medicine believes that the spleen and stomach are the foundation of the day after tomorrow and the source of qi and blood transformation. Spleen and stomach are vigorous and healthy, and people can prolong life. However, spring is a season of vigorous liver qi. According to the theory of five elements in traditional Chinese medicine, liver belongs to wood, spleen belongs to soil, and wood and soil coexist, that is, liver depression can hurt spleen and affect its digestion and absorption function. Chinese medicine also believes that five flavors enter the five internal organs, such as sour taste into the liver, sweet taste into the spleen and salty taste into the kidney. Therefore, eating more sour food will strengthen the function of the liver, make the hyperactive liver qi more vigorous and hurt the spleen and stomach. In view of this, people should eat less sour food in spring to prevent excessive liver qi. And sweets into the spleen, can make up the temper, so you can eat more, such as jujube, yam, crispy rice and so on. 5. The diet should be light, from the thick taste of the cream in winter to the mild taste, and the diet should be warm and avoid cold. In animal foods, we should eat less high-fat foods such as fat meat, because greasy foods are prone to satiety and fatigue. People with cold stomach can often eat ginger to drive away cold and warm stomach; Asthma patients can take some ginger honey water to moisten dryness and relieve asthma; Patients with chronic bronchitis should fast or eat less spicy food. Others should not eat more irritating food, so as not to help the fire and hurt the body. 6. Drinking plenty of water at ordinary times can increase the circulating blood volume, which is beneficial to nourishing the liver and excreting metabolic waste, and can reduce the damage of poisons to the liver. In addition, hydration is also beneficial to gland secretion, especially the secretion of digestive juices such as bile. Drinking scented tea in spring is helpful to dispel the cold evil accumulated in the body in winter, promote the hair growth of human yang, and stagnate and evacuate. Moderate drinking tea can also refresh you, but don't be greedy for cold drinks in spring. 7. Eat more vegetables after winter, and most people will have insufficient intake of vitamins, inorganic salts and trace elements, such as stomatitis, angular stomatitis, glossitis, night blindness and some skin diseases in spring. Therefore, with the arrival of spring and the listing of a large number of fresh vegetables, people must eat more fresh vegetables in order to have a balanced nutrition and good health.
