In early spring, the climate changes greatly, and the weather is cold first and then warm. At this time, the human body becomes relaxed and its resistance to cold evil is weakened. Therefore, people living in beginning of spring, especially people in the northern region, should not take off their cotton-padded jackets immediately in winter, and the elderly and infirm should be more cautious when changing clothes, and should not suddenly reduce their clothes. Qian Jin Fang Yao advocated wearing thick and thin clothes in spring, and Lao Heng Yan also said: "The lower body is too warm in spring, so the upper body is slightly reduced, so it raises yang." In other words, changing clothes in spring should protect the legs and feet, but the upper body clothes can be reduced appropriately to adapt to the warming.
In the aspect of diet conditioning in spring, we should consider the birth of yang in spring and eat something sweet and divergent, not sour. "On Su Wen's Method of Hiding Qi" said: "The liver governs spring ... The liver is bitter and anxious, and it is slow to eat. ..... The liver wants to disperse, and it is urgent to eat spicy food to disperse it, and it is supplemented with spicy food. Acid diarrhea. " In the relationship between five zang-organs and five flavors, sour taste enters the liver and converges, which is not conducive to the growth of yang and the release of liver qi. Dietary recuperation should be given to the viscera, that is, "suffering goes against its nature, so it is desirable." Desire is what the dirty god wants, that is, to make up for it. People who suffer are hated by the unclean god, that is, diarrhea. "After clarifying these relationships, we should purposefully choose some drugs and foods that soften and nourish the liver, soothe the liver and regulate qi. Herbs can be Lycium barbarum, Radix Curcumae, Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae, Rhizoma Corydalis, etc. And the food should be jujube, lobster sauce, onion, coriander, peanuts and so on. Flexible diet choice can achieve good therapeutic effect.
On the other hand, keeping healthy in the spring season is to prevent diseases and protect health. Especially in the early spring, as soon as the weather changed from cold to warm, all kinds of pathogenic bacteria and viruses began to grow and multiply, which was called "warm toxin evil" in ancient China. Influenza, meningitis, measles, scarlet fever and pneumonia mentioned in modern medicine also occurred and prevailed at this time. In order to avoid the occurrence of diseases in spring, we should first eliminate the source of infection in preventive measures; Second, open the window frequently to let the indoor air circulate and keep the air fresh; Third, we should strengthen exercise and improve the body's defense ability. In addition, pay attention to the health care of the mouth and nose, and block the way that warm pathogens attack the lungs first.
In the spring, the diet and medicated diet should be based on "body-building", and the appropriate diet includes Shouwugan tablets, shrimp and leeks, Pearl Sanxian decoction, etc., which has the effects of nourishing liver and kidney, benefiting essence and blood, blackening hair and improving eyesight, warming the middle warmer and benefiting qi.
2. Health care in the rainy season The rainy season is humid and the weather is warm but not hot, which is a good time to recuperate. Parenting must first "nurse the spleen and stomach", because Chinese medicine believes that the spleen and stomach are the "acquired foundation" and the "source of qi and blood biochemistry", and the strength of the spleen and stomach is an important factor that determines life and death. Traditional Chinese medicine calls the spleen and stomach "the sea of water valley", which has the functions of nourishing qi and blood, transforming blood and hematopoiesis. The material basis of human functional activities, such as nutrition, qi and blood, body fluid and essence. , are produced from the spleen and stomach. If the spleen and stomach are healthy, the vitality is sufficient and the function of viscera can be strong; Spleen and stomach are also the hinge of lung qi ascending and descending movement. The coordination of spleen and stomach can promote and regulate the metabolism of the body and ensure the coordination and balance of life activities. Personal vitality is the foundation of health, and spleen and stomach are the foundation of vitality. Li Dongyuan, a famous doctor in the Yuan Dynasty, said: "Injury to the spleen and stomach leads to the decline of essence, and the decline of essence leads to the decline of life."
In his theory of spleen and stomach: "Qi, also called primordial qi, is the innate essence, and it can't be nourished without stomach qi". And pointed out: "Internal injury to the spleen and stomach, numerous diseases." It shows that spleen and stomach weakness is the master of all diseases. ((Compendium of Materia Medica) says: "Those who are good at keeping in good health should be nurtured internally, and those who are not good at keeping in good health should be nurtured externally. People who support the outside world are real. They are eager for quick success, greedy for money and unrestrained, but they don't know that the outside is actually empty inside. Those who are good at nourishing the five internal organs and six internal organs will make the internal organs peaceful, keep the triple energizer in position, and have a proper diet. " It can be seen that the spleen and stomach are the foundation of life and health. Physicians and health preserving experts in past dynasties attached great importance to the health care of the spleen and stomach. Modern medical experiments have proved that regulating the spleen and stomach can effectively improve human immune function and prevent aging. The method of regulating spleen and stomach can selectively adjust diet, medicine and daily life according to one's own green condition.
Diet regulation: the climate turns warmer in spring, but it is windy and dry, which often leads to dry skin, dry mouth and chapped lips. Therefore, we should eat more fresh vegetables and juicy fruits to replenish human moisture. Because spring is the beginning of everything's hair growth, and the yang has passed, we should eat less greasy things to avoid helping the yang to leak out, otherwise the liver will grow too much and hurt the spleen. In the Tang Dynasty, Sun Simiao said in Qian Jin Yao Fang: "On the seventy-second day of spring, acid is preserved to sweeten and nourish the temper." Among the five elements, liver belongs to wood, tastes sour, spleen belongs to soil, tastes sweet, and wood is better than soil. Therefore, the rainy season diet should eat less sour and eat more sweet to nourish the spleen. You can choose leek, Toona sinensis, lily, pea seedling, chrysanthemum, shepherd's purse, bamboo shoots, yam, lotus root, taro, radish, water chestnut, sugar cane and so on.
"Thousand Women's Moon Order": "In the first month, porridge should be eaten ... and rehmannia porridge should be eaten to tonify the kidney. 150g of fresh rehmannia glutinosa, mashed to get juice for later use, 50g of polished round-grained rice was washed, and appropriate amount of rock sugar was put into the pot, and appropriate amount of water was added. When the porridge was cooked, the fresh rehmannia glutinosa juice was poured into the porridge and stewed for 20min on low fire. Two-day anti-wind porridge is used to dispel the wind of limbs. Take a portion of Radix Saposhnikoviae, boil soup to remove juice, and cook porridge; Three-day perilla porridge, take a perilla, fry until it is slightly yellow, and when it has a slight aroma, fry until it is cooked. "Eat less cold sticky food, so as not to hurt the spleen and stomach.
Drug nursed back to health: we should consider the biochemical function of the spleen and stomach, and use the method of nourishing the spleen and stomach by generating yang. Radix Adenophorae, Radix Panacis Quinquefolii, Semen Cassiae, Flos Chrysanthemi, Radix Polygoni Multiflori powder and Buzhong Yiqi decoction can be selected.
Mental adjustment: "All anger, sadness and fear will hurt your vitality". Therefore, in psychological adjustment, we should calm down, do not act rashly, and nourish our vitality.
Daily routine: the law of daily life, combining work and rest. That is, conform to nature, protect vitality, follow the laws of natural changes, and adjust the rhythm of life process with the changes of time, space and seasons, so as to achieve the purposes of strengthening the spleen and nourishing the stomach, conditioning the day after tomorrow and prolonging life.
3. Health care and health preservation during the period of fright. Solar terms should be based on natural phenology and physiological differences.
People with different constitutions should adopt different health preserving methods in the solar terms of fright.
Yin deficiency constitution: This kind of people's constitution is characterized by emaciation, fever in hands and feet, restless mood, little sleep, dry stool, yellow urine, intolerance in spring and summer, and liking cold drinks.
Health care methods: people with yin deficiency constitution are impatient and often upset and irritable, which is the reason why yin deficiency and fire are disturbing God. It is necessary to follow the health care method of "quietness is empty, and God is inside". Strengthen self-discipline and form the habit of calmness. Take part in less entertainment activities to win or lose and control your sex life. Conditional people can go to the seaside, forest areas and mountainous areas for a holiday every spring and summer. It is best to choose a house with a quiet living environment facing south.

Health care methods: people with insufficient yang often show bad mood, fear or sadness. Such people should be good at adjusting their emotions, listening to more music and making more friends.
People with yang deficiency should strengthen physical exercise in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and take walks, jogging, Tai Ji Chuan, Wuqinxi and other sports. Sunbathing and air bathing are indispensable methods to strengthen the body and protect the yang.
Diet care: You should eat more aphrodisiac foods, such as mutton, dog meat, chicken and venison. According to the principle of "nourishing yang in spring and summer", especially in the dog days of summer, you should eat "Fuzi porridge" (Fuzi 10g, stir-fry for 30 minutes first, then add japonica rice 150g to cook until cooked) or mutton soup.
Blood stasis constitution: People with dark complexion, dark lips, dry skin and dark eyes are mostly people with blood stasis constitution.
Health care methods: People with blood stasis often have qi stagnation, so it is very important to cultivate an optimistic attitude. Happy spirit leads to the harmony of qi and blood, and the normal operation of meridian qi and blood is beneficial to the change of blood stasis constitution. On the contrary, depression and melancholy will aggravate the tendency of blood stasis.
Diet conditioning: Always eat foods with the function of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, such as peach kernel, black beans, rape, arrowhead, vinegar, etc., and often cook some hawthorn porridge and peanut porridge. You can also choose some drugs for promoting blood circulation and nourishing blood (Angelica sinensis, Ligusticum Chuanxiong, Salvia miltiorrhiza, Rehmannia glutinosa, Sanguisorba officinalis and Acanthopanax Senticosus) and broth to drink.
Phlegm-dampness constitution: People with phlegm-dampness constitution are obviously characterized by obesity, muscle relaxation, gluttony, mental fatigue and heavy body.

Diet aftercare: Eat more foods that strengthen the spleen and promote diuresis, eliminate phlegm and eliminate dampness, such as white radish, lentils, Chinese cabbage, broad beans, onions, laver, jellyfish, water chestnut, ginkgo, loquat, jujube, coix seed and adzuki bean. Eat less fatty, sweet and delicious products, drinks and alcohol, and don't be too full at every meal.
4. Health care in the spring equinox season Because the spring equinox solar terms are divided into day and night, cold and heat are equal, so people should pay attention to maintaining the balance of yin and yang in health care. The key to maintaining a balanced state is the adjustment of spirit, diet and daily life and the use of drugs. The period from beginning of spring solar term to Tomb-Sweeping Day gas is the budding period of plant growth, and the human blood is also in a vigorous period, and the hormone level is also at a relative peak. At this time, common non-communicable diseases are prone to occur, including hypertension, menstrual disorders, hemorrhoids, allergic diseases and so on. In this solar term, we should choose a diet that can keep the body function coordinated and balanced according to our actual situation, and avoid eating misunderstandings such as being too hot, too cold, too high and too healthy. For example, when cooking cold foods such as fish, shrimp and crab, in principle, it must be accompanied by onion, ginger, wine and vinegar, so as to avoid this dish being cold and cold, damaging the spleen and stomach and causing abdominal discomfort after eating. For another example, when eating dishes that help yang, such as leeks, garlic, papaya, etc., eggs are often used to nourish yin in order to achieve the purpose of complementary yin and yang. To maintain a relaxed, cheerful and optimistic attitude, we must adhere to proper exercise, regular sleep, quantitative diet and purposeful aftercare in order to achieve the best health care effect.
Suitable diets include white roasted eel, Eucommia ulmoides kidney flower and garlic roasted eggplant, which have the effects of tonifying deficiency, strengthening bones and muscles, lowering blood pressure, cooling blood to stop bleeding, reducing swelling and relieving pain.
5. Health care in the Qingming period In terms of health care in traditional Chinese medicine, Qingming is also a particularly important solar term. In this solar term, when the weather is cool, we should give priority to tonifying the kidney and regulate the deficiency of both yin and yang. The common symptoms related to the regulation of yin and yang in this season are: yin deficiency and hyperactivity of yang (headache, dizziness, dizziness, insomnia and dreaminess, soreness of waist and knees, wet flushing on face and numbness of limbs); Yin deficiency of liver and kidney (dizziness, dry eyes, deafness, backache and leg weakness, heel pain); Deficiency of yin and yang (dizziness, walking like a boat, pale face, occasional fever, palpitation, shortness of breath, soreness of waist and knees, frequent urination at night, or edema). Aiming at the imbalance of yin and yang, the pathology of deficiency and excess should be based on harmonizing yin and yang and strengthening the body resistance, and adopt comprehensive methods such as emotional adjustment. Because these symptoms are closely related to emotional factors, when the mood is frustrated and too angry, it will often affect the excretion of liver wood and the maintenance of kidney water.
Therefore, in the process of emotional adjustment, it is necessary to reduce and eliminate abnormal emotional reactions, to be empathetic, to maintain a good mood, and to choose gentle actions, such as "Tai Chi Chuan". In terms of diet regulation, it is necessary to regularly quantify and not overeat. Obese people should reduce sweets, limit calorie intake and eat more fruits and vegetables.
6. Health care in Grain Rain Season After the solar term in Grain Rain, the rainfall increased and the humidity in the air gradually increased. At this time, we can't break away from the track of natural environment changes in health care, and make the internal environment (physiological changes in the body) adapt to the changes in the external environment (external natural environment) through the adjustment of the human body, so as to maintain normal physiological functions. "Su Wen's Gestalt Theory of Life-saving" said: "Man is born with the spirit of heaven and earth, and is formed by the method of four seasons." That is to say, born between heaven and earth, changes in nature will inevitably directly or indirectly affect the internal environment of the human body, and maintaining the balance and coordination between the internal and external environment is the basis for avoiding and reducing diseases. Therefore, Grain Rain's solar terms should be taken into account in health care, and health care should be carried out selectively according to its climatic characteristics.
Although the solar term temperature in Grain Rain is mainly sunny and warm, it is still hot and cold in the morning and evening. People who leave early and return late should take extra care of themselves to avoid getting sick. Appropriate diet includes steamed eel with ginseng, eel and tricolor soup, which has the functions of expelling wind and dampness, strengthening bones and muscles, warming qi and blood and strengthening bones and muscles.
