For a lot of friends
Today is the last day of the Spring Festival holiday
It is inevitable that good food and drink will be served during the festival
After the "replenishment"
Don't forget to "take a bath" of your intestines!
Eat like this after the festival, the most cleansing of the intestines
The high-protein diet of big fish and big meat in the festival will make your intestines overwhelmed. Of course, the clear intestines mentioned here are not to make everyone hungry, but to let you - change dishes!
1 Replace with a bowl of mixed grain rice
During the holidays, it is difficult to control the type and amount of food ingested, and a large number of high-fat, high-protein foods will be eaten.
After the festival, you may wish to change the staple food for coarse grains such as corn and oats or potatoes such as yams and sweet potatoes, which are rich in dietary fiber and can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis.
2 Increase the proportion of vegetables
After the festival, you will definitely not lack meat, after eating and drinking, now you can eat only one meat dish per meal, with an egg dish or soy products, and the rest can be vegetables.
No more than two stir-fry dishes, other dishes as far as possible to choose steaming, boiling, stewing, cold mixing.
3 Meal times
In the festival, not only is overeating a common thing, but it is difficult to eat on time, and eating habits are completely disrupted.
So, adjusting the meal schedule back now is a top priority!
It is recommended that everyone eat each meal regularly, and the ratio of three meals should be 3:4:3.
If you are hungry in the middle, you can eat some nuts or drink a cup of yogurt around 10:30 a.m. or 3:30 p.m., which can both alleviate hunger and avoid overeating.
4 Eat fresh fruits and vegetables
Many people will have sores in their mouth and tongue, bleeding gums, blistering at the corners of their mouths... The body is emitting "fire gas".
At this time, quickly put away the potato chips, popcorn, various candies and other foods accumulated during the festival!
Eat more fruits and vegetables, you will feel much more comfortable! If such "fire" symptoms occur, you need to find out the reason and adjust it in time.
The most effective intestinal cleansing snack
After eating and drinking during the Spring Festival, eating some hawthorn appropriately has a good role in cleaning up the intestines.
This is because hawthorn contains a large amount of pectin, and proper intake can lubricate the intestines and relieve constipation.
Especially for friends with indigestion problems, this time should be more appropriate to eat some hawthorn.
Because hawthorn is slightly warm and sweet, the effect of meat accumulation is significant, and it will feel very comfortable to eat some hawthorn when there is indigestion and bloating.

February 4, Beijing Winter Olympics
A dazzling opening ceremony was ushered in
At the same time, this day is also the first of the twenty-four solar terms -
Spring days
At the beginning of the year, everything recovers
On the day of Spring, the sun and the qi are stung, and everything is spring
It marks the beginning of the cycle of the four seasons of the year
What are the climatic characteristics and human body reaction characteristics of Lichundu?
And what are the principles and methods of health maintenance?
Let's follow the editor
Let's look at it from the perspective of Chinese medicine!
Part 1 Characteristics of climate and human reactions
In the spring season, "here the breath of spring wood begins". The ancients summarized the iconic climate and phenology of Lichun as follows: "One waits for the east wind to thaw, the second waits for the sting to vibrate, and the third waits for the fish to lose ice." The east wind warms up and the earth begins to thaw. After five days, the insects slowly began to awaken in the cave, and after five days, the ice in the river began to melt, the fish began to swim to the surface of the water, and there were ice flakes on the surface of the water that had not completely melted, floating on the surface of the water as if they were carried by fish.
Spring is the early spring season, although the temperature warms, but still windy and cold, yin and yang two qi meet frequently, the temperature fluctuations are large, warm and cold, and the wind is the main gas of spring, and the wind is more evil. Especially in the north, cold air still dominates.
The human body corresponds to nature, the human body qi and blood begin to move upwards and outwards from the internal organs, the flow of qi and blood is enhanced and exposed, and the pulses are more like strings. It is the transition process of the human body's phalagmology that begins to change from the closed state in winter to the open and drained state in summer, so as to help the qi and blood rise outward smoothly.
Part 2 Principles and methods of wellness
According to the natural climate characteristics of the Spring Festival, health care should pay attention to cold protection, liver nourishment, healthy spleen and dampness, increase sweetness and less acid, etc.
1. Living, eating and maintaining health
After the spring is warm and cold, the temperature difference between day and night is large, and it is easy to appear warm and cold weather, daily should pay attention to keep warm, adhere to the principle of "spring cover", protect the yang in the body, and protect the yang in the body from the outside cold and evil. "Prepare for a Thousand Golds" advocates that the dress in spring should be "thick and thin", and the "Old Hengyan" is also cloudy: "Spring is frozen, the lower body is too warm, and the upper body is not hindered, so the vitality of yang is raised.". In line with the gradual increase in daylight hours and the gradual increase in temperature in nature, try to "lie down at night and get up early".
Exercise makes yang qi grow and qi and blood flow smoothly, which can speed up the body's discharge of moisture and metabolites. Since the body's yang qi improvement has a gradual adaptation process, so the exercise should be gradual, starting from the gentler movements such as jogging and walking, and then gradually increasing the amount of exercise when the body is more adaptable.
The "Outline of the Golden Plateau" has the saying that "spring does not eat liver", the prevention of liver wood is too much, and the spleen soil is cut down. In terms of diet, it is advisable to eat more spicy and sweet divergent products, such as sprout foods such as bean sprouts, as well as foods such as coriander, leeks, and toon that help the yang rise; sweet spleen and stomach, you can eat more moist and sweet foods such as honey, and avoid the taste of sour harvest. In addition, at this time, the supplement should be moderate, the thick flavor supplement should be appropriately reduced, and the diet should be light.
2. Organs, emotional health
Spring qi through the liver, nourish the liver is just in time; spring is easy to make the liver prosperous, the liver is happy and depressed. Therefore, Lichun liver nourishment should conform to the characteristics of natural yang qi rising and comfortable, focusing on soothing the liver, "walking widely in the court, being slowly walked", maintaining a pleasant mood, avoiding "anger", and walking outdoors more, echoing with the spring qi generated by nature.
3. Traditional Chinese medicine, meridian health
Drug maintenance should also conform to the solar terms, and the supplement should be moderate, and the traditional Chinese medicine that conforms to the spring qi and the appropriate auxiliary liver qi rise and drainage should be selected, and the rational qi should be supplemented by the hair loss. Such as goji berries, white chrysanthemums, tulips, salvia, yanhuso and so on.
