Methods/steps
Keep warm and cold.
Spring is the transitional season of cold winter and hot summer, and it is at the turning point of yin retreating from yang and cold turning into heat. At this time, the yang is gradually flourishing, but the yin and cold are not exhausted. Due to the activity of cold air, the climate is changeable and the temperature difference is great. Therefore, "spring clothing" means "spring clothes are not busy" to meet the needs of hair growth due to yang, and it is also a good self-care method to prevent diseases. On the one hand, people should relax and stretch, on the other hand, they should be soft and warm. People who are frail and sick, old and frail should pay special attention to keeping warm, and beware of "cold in spring hurts people". It is best to keep the room temperature above 15℃, and cover a slightly thicker quilt on the principle of not sweating when sleeping.
Early to bed and early to rise.
When the temperature rises in spring and the spring wind blows gently, people's skin will gradually relax, the function of the circulatory system will be strengthened, the blood supply at the end of the skin will increase, the secretion of sweat glands will also increase, and the load of various organs will increase, which will have a calming and hypnotic effect on the central nervous system and make the body sleepy. Folk call it "spring sleep". The best way to overcome "spring sleepiness" is to follow the natural change law of human body and the principle of spring health care knowledge guide: go to bed early and get up early, and ensure a certain amount of activity time and sleep. Get up in the morning, unbutton your hair, relax, take a walk in the yard and breathe fresh air, so that your ideological realm and gas field will continue to grow.
Avoid the wind and evil spirits
Chinese medicine believes that "wind is the beginning of all diseases." It means that many diseases are often related to the common cold. The key to keeping in good health in spring is to avoid the wind. Modern medicine also attaches great importance to the relationship between airflow (wind) and health, because the change of airflow can affect people's breathing, energy consumption, metabolism and mental state. Moderate airflow makes the air clean and fresh, which is beneficial to health, while abnormal airflow is harmful to human health. Due to the windy spring, the heat exchange between air and skin is intensified, which leads to excessive heat loss in the body and the decline of people's disease resistance. Therefore, we must pay attention to wind and evil spirits in spring.
Be happy.
The spirit of aftercare in spring should conform to the characteristics of all things in nature in spring, that is, through aftercare modality, the yang in the body will generate sulfur and maintain harmony with the external environment. Spring should be in the liver. Anger is in your mind, and it will show irritability if it is slightly stimulated. Therefore, you should be open-minded and optimistic in spiritual cultivation, and avoid anger when things happen. Anger is the leading factor of emotional diseases, which is extremely harmful to human health, because anger not only hurts the liver, but also hurts the stomach and lungs. This has led to various diseases, so anger is the most taboo emotion for everyone.
Exercise restraint.
Spring is the best season for exercise. Beautiful spring, fresh air, warm wind blowing gently, everything is bloom. This kind of environment is conducive to the human body to vomit the old and absorb the new, and promote the circulation of qi and blood.

After entering the spring, you should choose suitable outdoor activities according to your physical condition, such as walking, traveling, practicing Qigong and fishing. These outdoor activities can make you fully enjoy the free double-effect negative ions in the air. They are beneficial to the growth and development of bones.
