In the daily diet in spring, food nutrition should be balanced, giving the body enough nutrition to nourish the skin and make the skin healthy. In order to keep healthy and increase the beauty of skin, milk, cream, vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins should be ingested.
In view of this, it is necessary to pay special attention to issues such as hydrating, moistening dryness and anti-allergy in spring to achieve balance and stability inside and outside the body. It is advisable to choose foods and medicines that have the functions of caring skin and nourishing spleen, such as milk, eggs, lean pork, bean products, black beans, chicken, mutton, kelp, leeks, carrots, onions, peaches, cherries, bamboo shoots, coix seed, jujube, poria cocos, fried atractylodes, yam, lotus seeds, lotus roots and lentils.
1? Eat more vegetables and increase vitamins and minerals.
After the cold winter, the human body is in a state of micronutrient deficiency, and spring is the time to make up for it. Like vitamin c, it has antiviral effect; Vitamin A can protect upper respiratory mucosa and prevent respiratory infection. Vitamin E is helpful to improve human immune function and immune defense of skin, respiratory tract and gastrointestinal tract.
Vitamins in food can promote the blood circulation of peripheral blood vessels of the skin, regulate the normal secretion of hormones and lubricate the skin. Many foods have good cosmetic effects. For example, peas can not only supplement human nutrition, but also exercise facial muscles and promote blood circulation and metabolism, thus making the complexion rosy and smooth. At the same time, the pea powder mixed with duck egg white is applied to the face, which also has the effect of removing spots and moistening skin.
Eat more foods containing vitamin A and fresh fruits and vegetables to maintain the normal function of the skin. For some photosensitive substances that can induce spring dermatitis, such as rape, spinach, lettuce, figs and so on. We should try to eat less or not.
Greasy, sweet food, irritating food, tobacco and alcohol will damage the stomach and affect the health of the skin, so don't overdo it.
The diet in spring is mainly flat and tonic, with emphasis on nourishing the liver and spleen. At this time, the liver is the season, and the physiological characteristics of the liver, such as the growth of spring trees, are full of yang. If the liver function is damaged, it will lead to the disorder of qi and blood operation in the whole body, and other viscera and organs will be disturbed and cause disease. Because the sour taste enters the liver, it is the original taste of the liver. If the liver that has been excited in spring ingests too much sour taste, it will cause excessive liver qi, and the liver will inevitably hurt the spleen. Spleen and stomach are closely related, so spleen deficiency is not conducive to the digestion and absorption of food by spleen and stomach. When sweet taste enters the spleen, it is best to tonify the spleen, strengthen the spleen and promote fluid production, and assist the liver qi. Therefore, spring tonic should be as Sun Simiao, a hundred-year-old doctor in the Tang Dynasty, said: "Save acid and sweeten it to nourish your temper." It is to eat less sour food and more sweet food to nourish the liver and spleen, which is of great benefit to disease prevention and health care.
Cereals are the first choice for warm and sweet foods, such as glutinous rice, black rice, sorghum, millet and oats; Fruits and vegetables, such as sword beans, pumpkins, lentils, red dates, longan, walnuts, chestnuts, etc.; Carnivorous fish, such as beef, pork belly, crucian carp, flower carp, perch, grass carp, eel, etc. The human body absorbs rich nutrients from these foods and can nourish the liver and strengthen the spleen.
Secondly, we should follow the arrival of spring and eat more food that warms the yang, especially in the early spring when winter is still cold. We can choose to eat leek, garlic, onion, konjac, kohlrabi, mustard, coriander, ginger and onion. This kind of vegetable is warm and spicy, which can not only dispel cold, but also inhibit and kill germs that breed in humid environment.
Thirdly, warm wind in spring or sudden heat in late spring can easily lead to liver fire or body fluid leakage, so you can eat some foods that can clear the fire and nourish the liver, such as buckwheat, coix seed, shepherd's purse, spinach, spinach, celery, chrysanthemum seedlings, lettuce, eggplant, water chestnut and so on. This kind of food is cool and sweet, which can clear fire, moisten liver and improve eyesight.
As for fresh fruit, although it has the effect of clearing away heat, promoting fluid production and quenching thirst, it is mostly sour and should not be eaten in spring. If you need to relieve internal heat, you'd better eat sweet bananas, raw pears, sugar cane or dried persimmons.
Nutrient-rich vegetable varieties: vitamin C tomato, spinach, green vegetable, rape, green pepper, cucumber, vitamin A carrot, amaranth, tarragon, vitamin E cauliflower, cabbage, string bean mineral leek, shepherd's purse, kidney bean dietary fiber spinach, rape, celery, string beans, seaweed, kelp 2? Stay away from spicy, irritating and sour food.
There is an old saying-"Fat, pungent and sweet are not the real taste, but the real taste is only light". So please try to eat less spicy, seafood, barbecue and other delicious foods, because the regional characteristics of these foods are very prominent. If people far away from the producing area frequently choose food in dry spring, it will not only aggravate dryness, but may even cause allergic diseases due to the constant stimulation of allergens!
Also, many people subjectively think that acidic things help digestion, but in fact, acidophilia will only hurt people's spleen and stomach! Because "acid" does not directly strengthen the role of gastric acid, it will enter the "liver meridian" and damage the "spleen meridian", affecting the human body's ability to transport food. Many women are "fruit-obsessed" vegetarians, and they often have weak symptoms such as cold limbs and gastrointestinal discomfort. In fact, even in dry spring, it is advisable to eat no more than 250 grams of fruit every day.
3? Drink plenty of water and keep a light diet.
Drinking water is the most direct and effective way to replenish body moisture! After water enters the human body, it will replenish a lot of water lost through the skin and respiratory tract, and then the excess water will be discharged into urine, which is also conducive to the timely excretion of nitrogen-containing waste in the body. Water that cannot be absorbed by the intestine is not useless, but will enter the colon to moisten the intestine and reduce dryness. Therefore, replenishing water conforms to the popular concept of "detoxification" and is the most economical method of detoxification.
The effect of water supplement depends not only on the amount of drinking water, but also on the balance of water and salt. For example, a woman who likes to replenish water in the form of soup may consume a lot of salt while replenishing water, which will cause her body to store a lot of water to dilute the salt in her blood. If so, even if she supplements a lot of water, there will still be dryness. Therefore, it is necessary to keep the diet light and less salt while hydrating, in order to get the best results.
Drink 1 cup of warm water in the morning and evening, and drink 2 cups during the day. If you can keep the urine clear and colorless, it means that your body has absorbed enough water.
