In spring, the weather changes greatly and the temperature fluctuates greatly, so the human immune system is often affected.
Many health experts advocate keeping healthy and nourishing blood in spring, which is actually nourishing yin and strengthening yang in spring. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the human body is a combination of yin and yang, and the basis for maintaining good health is the balance of yin and yang. Therefore, people with weak constitution should achieve "seven points to nourish yin and three points to replenish yang".
Here are three ways to nourish yin, which will help improve your physical condition.
1, develop good eating habits.
In daily life, we should control our diet structure. The main feature of the diet structure in spring is damp heat. Fruits and vegetables that can reduce lung qi, such as white radish or carrot, and sour and spicy foods are all good choices.
However, for some people with poor stomach and spleen and stomach deficiency, it is best to eat less fruit to avoid getting worse.
Try not to eat too much in spring to avoid the problem of gastrointestinal stagnation. For people who like sports, foods that can replenish fluids, promote fluid production, nourish yin and moisten the lungs are more beneficial, because they can prevent dryness in spring, invigorate qi and reduce fire, such as honey, tremella, sesame and so on.
2. Adhere to moderate exercise.
In spring, we'd better do exercise after 9: 00 a.m., because exercise before 9: 00 a.m. is easy to cause stroke and increase the probability of heart attack. It's best not to exercise excessively in the morning, and take feeling warm or a little sweaty as the standard.
Aerobic exercise is the best way to exercise, such as jogging and cycling. Middle-aged and elderly people should choose some activities with low intensity and low risk factor, such as playing Tai Ji Chuan and climbing stairs. Before exercise, they should do warm-up activities to prevent ligament strain.
3. Regulate emotions
Many people tend to feel bored and anxious in spring. If the mood fluctuates greatly and you are depressed for a long time, it is easy to reduce your immunity.
Therefore, we should maintain a positive state, communicate with friends and family more, find appropriate ways to decompress and express inner boredom.
In addition, the following two points are also issues that need attention in spring health care.
1, the spring cover should be measured.
In order to prevent the cold in spring and maintain their yang, many people think that spring should cover themselves, so they should wear a lot of clothes every morning and evening, and cover them with thick quilts at night to avoid cold damage and enhance their immunity.
In fact, such a blind spring cover is not good. For middle-aged and elderly people with hypertension or heart disease, it can be moderately warm and cold, but for a healthy young and middle-aged person, it is only necessary to control the temperature at about 15 degrees Celsius. Too much spring coverage may lead to unnecessary health problems.
2. Develop a good routine.
In daily life, we should control the schedule, keep enough sleep time and improve the quality of sleep. If you don't arrange your work and rest time reasonably, overwork will cause the body's resistance to decline, which will lead to the invasion of various diseases.
Therefore, it is necessary to develop a good routine, so as to have a healthy body, enhance immunity and stay away from viruses.
In a word, we should form good living habits. Spring can't nourish blood and strengthen yang, but also needs to nourish yin reasonably. The above methods can help you regulate your body reasonably and effectively, achieve the balance of yin and yang, and have a healthy body.
