In the乍暖还寒season, it is necessary to "keep warm in spring" In the health care of health care, it emphasizes "keep warm in spring and freeze in autumn", that is, do not rush to take off winter clothes and change into spring clothes in early spring to prevent cold in spring. The early spring often has a recurring cold climate, so wearing should be warmer. For children, the elderly or those with weaker constitutions who have poorer adjustment capabilities, they should add or reduce clothing according to the changes in the cold and heat of the climate.
It is introduced that the elderly have lower heat production ability, and their circulatory system is not as normal as young people, so they are easily stimulated by "cold in spring". Therefore, after the beginning of spring, the elderly should still try to reduce the number of outings, massage, and wear hats to reduce the stimulation of cold air on blood vessels in the head, and patients should pay attention to taking medicine regularly and continuously.
In addition, doctors also remind that some young women often wear skirts and boots in early spring because of their love for beauty, which is not good for health. Generally speaking, the knee joint of women is more sensitive to the attack of cold air, and it is easy to have symptoms such as local numbness and soreness, which can lead to problems in the long run.
Less sour and more sweet
Medicine believes: "In spring, it is suitable to reduce sourness and increase sweetness to nourish the spleen." Therefore, the best diet in spring is to eat less spicy food and slightly sweet food. For example, yam, lily, and black fungus. Among them, congee is the most nutritious for the spleen and stomach.
If you feel that your stomach and appetite are not good, and you tend to have dry throat, or even physical form, red tongue and little coating, you may belong to those with insufficient stomach yin. You can eat Yam Lily Jujube Porridge. First, cook an appropriate amount of yam, lily, jujube, coix seed, and rice together to make porridge, and take it twice a day to achieve the effect of nourishing yin and stomach and clearing heat and moistening dryness. For those who experience gastric discomfort due to high work pressure or bad mood, it is recommended to eat stir-fried meat slices with black fungus. The specific method is to soak 15 grams of dried black fungus in warm water, wash it, cut 60 grams of lean pork into slices and fry them in an oil pan for two minutes, then add the soaked black fungus and stir-fry together, add an appropriate amount of salt and a little clear soup, and simmer for five minutes before eating. It can be taken three times a week to tonify the spleen and stomach and regulate the middle Qi.
Drink less alcohol and get angry less
According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, the liver corresponds to "wood". Grass and trees sprout and grow in spring, and the liver functions more actively in spring. Therefore, the primary focus of health preservation at the beginning of spring is to nourish and protect the liver.
To nourish and protect the liver, the following aspects should be mainly achieved: drink more water to prevent toxins from damaging the liver; drink less alcohol to help the yang qi of the liver rise. The liver's ability to metabolize alcohol is limited and can damage the liver. For example, if your weight is 60 kilograms, you can only metabolize 60 grams of alcohol per day. If you exceed the limit, it will affect liver health, or even cause problems, endangering life.
In addition, it is necessary to maintain a good mood to prevent anger. Getting angry easily can lead to stagnation of liver qi and blood, causing diseases. To strengthen the liver, first learn to control anger. Even if you are angry, do not stay angry for more than three minutes. Try your best to be calm, optimistic, cheerful, worry-free, and let the liver qi rise and adjust normally.
