1, Spring Health Tips
First, insist on drinking more water every day.
Drinking more water every day can enhance the circulation speed of the body system, relieve the nervous body function, improve the early warning ability and energy consumption. In fact, another advantage of drinking water is to lose weight. If you consume 16 ounces of water every day, you can lose 5 pounds a year.
Second, don't rush to reduce clothes.
In spring, due to the great climate change and sunny weather, the variability and cold in early spring are often ignored. So it's best to wear it slowly, and don't change it into short-sleeved shorts in summer. Cold pathogens can hurt the lungs and easily lead to nasal congestion, cough and cold, especially for middle-aged and elderly people. Everyone knows that "spring covers autumn", and the degree of covering is not to sweat too much. If the weather is very hot, it is not good to have three floors inside and three floors outside, and it is not good to sweat a lot.
Comb your hair in the morning and soak your feet at night.
"On Health" said: "In March of spring, comb your hair one or two hundred times a day in the morning. When you lie down at night, put a pinch of salt in the hot soup and wash your knees until you lie down, so as to drive away wind and poison beriberi and not stagnate." In other words, combing your hair in the morning in spring and soaking your feet in light salt water at night can promote blood circulation, health care and disease prevention.
Fourth, go to bed late and get up early, and don't like sleeping.
Spring health should keep the habit of "going to bed late and getting up early" in sleep. Going to bed late means going to bed after 9 pm. Getting up early means getting up as soon as the sun rises, which is conducive to the growth of qi. Sleeping late is not as late as possible. You'd better go to sleep before 1 1 at night, otherwise your eyes will be red and your anger will rise the next day.
Fifth, advocate proper stretching in the morning.
We advocate stretching exercise in the morning because after a night's sleep, the human body is soft and relaxed, and the blood circulation is slow. Therefore, when we wake up, we always feel lazy and weak. At this time, if you stretch your muscles to all parts of your limbs and take a deep breath, it will have the functions of inducing vomiting, promoting qi and blood circulation, dredging meridians and joints, and invigorating your spirit, which can relieve fatigue, wake up, increase strength and move your limbs.

3. Hygienic taboos for the elderly in spring
1 to avoid sleeping too much.
Chinese medicine believes that lying down for a long time will hurt the gas, sleeping too much, and getting sick without illness. Therefore, in spring, the elderly should pay attention to going to bed early and getting up early, and should "lie down at night and get up early and take a wide walk", that is, go to bed late and get up early and go out for a walk more, so as to adapt to the vitality of spring, absorb the vitality of nature and keep people energetic. It is necessary to ensure adequate sleep and prevent excessive sleep. Generally, you can sleep for 8 hours every day. Old people often feel sleepy, can't get up in the morning, and feel sleepy after waking up. This phenomenon is commonly known as "spring sleep". In order to adapt to this physiological change, you should get up early and stretch. This can not only maintain energy, but also provide a maintenance environment for the body.
2. Avoid being lazy in activities.
When you go outdoors, you can enjoy the fresh air, exhale the dirty air in your body and enhance your heart and lung function. It can also kill bacteria and viruses on the skin and enhance the body's immunity. The movement should be stretched, smooth and slow, just like a hundred herbs sprouting and the wind swinging and the willows splashing. The amount of exercise should not be too large, so as not to sweat and hurt the yang. After exercise, you should be energetic, relaxed and comfortable. Generally speaking, it is best to choose simple and interesting activities, such as walking, jogging, flying kites and swinging. Old people can also choose some simple health exercises, such as Tai Ji Chuan and Yijinjing.
3, avoid improper clothing.
Although spring is warm, it is not advisable for the elderly to undress too early or too late. Because the temperature in early spring is cold and hot, it is cold and hot, so it is necessary to cover it for a period of time so that all parts of the body can adapt to it and prevent catching a cold. Especially the elderly, with weak qi and thin bones, poor disease resistance and slight cold, are prone to chronic diseases. Because sudden cooling will cause vasospasm, blood viscosity, slow blood flow and organ ischemia, colds, pneumonia, tracheitis, asthma, arthritis, migraine and coronary heart disease will follow. Therefore, it is necessary to keep out the wind and cold at this time and prepare clothes regularly. It's easy to do when the weather is warm, and cotton-padded clothes can't be eaten. In spring, the clothing style should be loose and elastic, and the pure cotton fabric has good hygroscopicity and warmth, which is suitable for underwear.
4, avoid cold food.
Due to the acceleration of human metabolism and the corresponding increase in nutrient consumption in spring, we should eat more nutritious products, such as soybean sprouts, wheat, jujube, lean meat, fish and eggs. It is also advisable to eat more nutritious and digestible light food. Because there are few fresh vegetables in winter, vitamin intake is insufficient, and the accumulated internal heat in winter should be distributed, so eat more fresh vegetables, such as bamboo shoots, rape, spinach and so on. Do not eat or eat as little cold food as possible, so as not to stimulate the gastrointestinal tract and cause diseases. Generally speaking, spring does not need tonic.
5. avoid going around.
In spring, most old people think it is a good time to go out for a walk, but it is not. Spring is a period of frequent epidemics, and the immunity of the elderly is declining, making them vulnerable to infection. During the epidemic, the elderly should not go out to crowded public places frequently. There is also the growing spring, and the elderly should not sit alone and mope. The best way to improve bad emotions is to cultivate good feelings of loving life and nature. On sunny days in spring, we can invite friends and relatives to travel, enjoy flowers, take a walk, swim in the stream and practice in spring, which will help us to refresh ourselves and forget our troubles.
