After the overindulgence in winter food, the fatigue and irregularity of daily life, when spring comes, it's time to get moving, reorganize mind and body, prepare for the new year, and deal with challenges. Staying healthy all year round is something we can look forward to, www.0431anmo.net.

Living a regular life

When spring arrives, the body stretches out, peripheral blood supply increases, sweat gland secretion increases, and the load on each organ increases, while the central system experiences a sedative and hypnotic effect, making limbs feel drowsy. At this time, you must not indulge in sleeping late because it is not conducive to the rise of yang energy. To adapt to this climate change, in terms of daily routine, one should go to bed early and wake up early, frequently go outdoors, walk along shaded paths, among trees, and integrate with nature.

Spring weather is unpredictable, sometimes cold, sometimes warm. Meanwhile, the skin's resistance to the outside world weakens due to its looseness. Therefore, when spring arrives, do not take off heavy clothing all at once, especially for the elderly and those with weak constitutions.

Dietary conditioning

In spring, the human body's metabolism begins to flourish. It is advisable to choose foods that are pungent, sweet, and slightly warm.

The spring diet should avoid greasy and cold foods and eat more foods rich in vitamin B and fresh vegetables. Modern medical research suggests that overeating and lack of nutrition are one of the reasons for feeling drowsy in the spring.

Spring is the time when the liver thrives. Eating more acidic foods will make it even more active, which can damage health. It is better to consume foods that are sweet and neutral in nature and rich in protein, fat, vitamins, and minerals, such as lean meat, poultry eggs, milk, honey, soy products, fresh vegetables, and fruits.

Nurturing the spirit

Human mental activities must be adapted to climatic changes. The time when the human body is most affected by seasonal changes is during seasonal transitions, especially the transition from winter to spring. Some people cannot adapt to the changes in spring weather, which easily triggers mental illnesses. Modern medical studies show that negative emotions easily lead to stagnation of liver qi, causing dysfunction in the neuroendocrine system, reducing immunity, and easily triggering mental illness, liver disease, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, infectious diseases. Therefore, attention should be paid to emotional health preservation in spring, maintaining an optimistic and cheerful mood, so that liver qi flows smoothly, playing a role in preventing disease and keeping fit.

March is the season when all things begin to grow. At this time, it is important to avoid anger and maintain a broad and optimistic heart; the body should relax, be comfortable and natural, full of vitality.

Exercise maintenance

After the arrival of spring, one should adapt to the characteristics of rising yang energy and strengthen physical exercise. You can run, box, do exercises, walk, play ball, or fly kites in the vastness of nature, allowing the body to renew itself, stretch muscles and bones, and lay a good foundation for work and study throughout the year. Practice has shown that people who regularly participate in exercise in the spring have strong disease resistance, quick thinking, less prone to illness, and high efficiency in handling affairs.

Keeping warm to prevent disease

With the arrival of spring and warmer weather, pathogenic bacteria and viruses also multiply rapidly, making it easy for colds, influenza, measles, mumps, and other infectious diseases to occur. "Wear warmly in spring and endure the cold in autumn" is a health preservation experience that conforms to climate changes. Because the weather in spring is unpredictable, fluctuating between cold and hot, and people have been "covered" in cotton clothes all winter, their metabolic functions are weaker, unable to quickly adjust their body temperature. If dressed too lightly, even a slight oversight can easily lead to illness, endangering health. Middle-aged and elderly people with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases should pay special attention to keeping warm to prevent diseases such as stroke and myocardial infarction from occurring.

Moreover, with the blooming of flowers in spring, pollen flies with the wind, and patients are most likely to fall ill. The preventive method first involves adhering to physical exercise to enhance the body's disease resistance; secondly, paying attention to hygiene, eliminating pests and diseases to cut off the source of infection, keeping indoor air fresh, and opening windows frequently.
