First of all, in terms of diet, spring diet can eat more food that warms and tonifies the yang, and eat less sour food. Because the liver governs spring, among the five flavors, the sour taste enters the liver, which has a astringent effect and is not conducive to the growth of yang. Therefore, we must pay attention to the diet in spring, eat more sweet and eat less sour. In spring, our metabolism is also relatively strong, so we can also eat a little spicy and light food. In the spring diet, it is also less to eat tonic medicinal diet, mainly to eat light food.
Then there is exercise. In spring, the temperature rises rapidly. At this time, it is necessary to participate in outdoor activities, which can speed up the blood circulation of the body and help promote the operation of qi and blood. We often say that going for an outing in spring, going out for a walk and doing some gentle sports, such as flying kites, walking, jogging and playing Tai Chi, are all very beneficial to health. Also, when you exercise in spring, you should be careful not to do too much exercise, and don't exercise until you are sweating and panting, because this will consume yang, which is very unfavorable for health.
Then there is the problem of nourishing the liver. To nourish the liver in spring, it is necessary to keep a good mood and prevent the liver fire from rising, which is conducive to the growth of yang. When protecting the liver in spring, we can eat more divergent sweet foods, such as leek, onion, rape, coriander, white radish, Chinese cabbage, spinach, celery and other foods we often eat. There are also foods such as tofu, kelp, straw mushroom, Flammulina velutipes, and coix seed, which are not seasonal, so they are also good ingredients. Combining activities with activities, avoiding getting angry and eating less spicy food is also the key to keeping in good health in spring. All these can keep you in a good mood, avoid inducing liver wind and liver fire, and contribute to the coordination of yin and yang.
