Matters needing attention in late spring:
Health maintenance
Although spring is a season of high incidence of liver diseases, it is also a season of bringing forth the old and bringing forth the new. People's liver qi begins to flourish, and it is a good time to recuperate the liver. Therefore, Chinese medicine has the saying that "the liver should be nourished in spring". Spring has opened the prelude of a year's life cycle, and health care should focus on nourishing and protecting the liver.
More make-up water
It is windy in spring, with dry climate and water shortage. Drink plenty of boiled water, replenish body fluids, enhance blood circulation and promote metabolism. Drinking plenty of water can also promote the secretion of glands, especially digestive glands, pancreatic juice and bile, so as to facilitate digestion and absorption, eliminate waste and reduce the damage of metabolites and toxins to the liver.
Skin care
Warm spring, spring is the key season for skin care, because the temperature in spring is high and low, and the secretion of sebum is sometimes very low. And with the warming of the temperature, people have more opportunities to go out and be polluted by the outside world. Do a good job in daily skin care and let the skin usher in spring. Spring is not only the beginning of a year, but also the beginning of a new year's skin care plan. ?
Diet balance
It gets warmer and warmer in spring. At this time, Yang is rising. The diet should be light, peaceful, nutritious and balanced. Protein, carbohydrate, fat, vitamins and minerals in food should be kept in corresponding proportions. Avoid eating greasy, spicy and fried foods, which are difficult to digest and will increase the burden on the stomach and liver. In addition, eat more fresh seasonal fruits.
Liver function is vigorous in spring, and sour food makes liver qi more vigorous, which leads to the decline of digestion and absorption function of spleen and stomach, while sweet food can enhance the qi of spleen and stomach and is beneficial to health. Therefore, the spring diet should be more sweet and less sour, and jujube is a good choice among sweet foods.
