In early spring, the temperature is still relatively cold. In order to keep out the cold, the human body needs to consume some energy to maintain the basal body temperature. Therefore, the nutrients in early spring should be mainly high in calories. In addition to cereal products, you should also choose foods such as soybeans, sesame seeds, peanuts and walnuts to supplement energy substances in time. Because the cold stimulation will accelerate the decomposition of protein in the body, leading to the decline of the body's resistance, it is necessary to supplement high-quality protein foods such as eggs, fish, shrimp, beef, chicken, rabbit meat and bean products in early spring. These foods are rich in methionine, which can enhance the cold resistance of human body.
Spring is also the season when the climate changes from cold to warm, and the temperature changes greatly. Bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms begin to multiply in large numbers, and their vitality is enhanced, which is easy to invade the human body and cause diseases. Therefore, we should take enough vitamins and inorganic salts in our diet.
Fresh vegetables such as Chinese cabbage, rape, bell pepper and tomato, and fruits such as citrus and lemon are rich in vitamin C, which has antiviral effect. Yellow-green vegetables such as carrots and amaranth are rich in vitamin A, which can protect and strengthen epithelial cells of upper respiratory mucosa and respiratory organs, thus resisting various pathogenic factors. Food rich in vitamin E should also be eaten to improve human immune function and enhance the body's disease resistance. This kind of food includes sesame, blue cabbage and cauliflower.
Motherland medicine also believes that "spring should be sour and sweet to nourish the temper." This is because when the liver qi is strong in spring, it will affect the spleen, so it is easy to appear spleen and stomach weakness in spring. Moreover, eating more sour food will make the liver function high, so the spring diet should be nursed back to health, and it is advisable to choose warm products and avoid spicy. Diet should be light and delicious, avoid greasy, cold and irritating food.
Pay attention to comprehensive nutrition
In spring, everything recovers, and human metabolism is gradually flourishing. At this time, only by maintaining the physiological mechanism of liver exuberance can we adapt to the exuberant changes in nature.
In spring, we should eat more foods rich in protein and vitamins, eat less animal fat foods, and eat on time. When the digestive function is poor, we should eat less and eat more meals to ensure the intake of nutrients. Fresh fruit is good for health. Chicken liver is sweet and warm, and can nourish blood and liver. It is a good food for nourishing the liver, which has stronger liver nourishing effect than other animals' livers and can warm the stomach. If vinegar is the first choice to nourish the liver, vinegar tastes sour and enters the liver, which has the effect of calming the liver, removing blood stasis and detoxifying.
In early spring, the cold is strong, and liver yang is difficult to occur. If you can drink a little wine, you can use its promoting effect to make the Yang Qi of the liver rise.
Duck blood is mild and nutritious. It can nourish liver blood and treat anemia. It is one of the best foods to protect the liver.
Spinach has the functions of nourishing yin and moistening dryness, soothing the liver and nourishing blood. If animal blood is added to the soup, it can treat liver-qi discomfort.
Pay attention to the compatibility of food in diet to avoid unconsciously hurting yourself and your family in food. Especially in spring, the weather is cold and warm, and the human body's resistance drops, so we should pay more attention to the "taboo" of diet.
