After the spring, the weather is warm and cold at first, and the climate change is larger, which is easy to cause the human body to get cold and induce colds. YangShengjun gives the following suggestions.
First, in the spring, it is advisable to "cover", go to bed early and get up early
As the saying goes, "In the spring, the child's face changes three times a day." In early spring, the temperature has just warmed, and it is not advisable to take off the cotton clothes too early, and should do a good job of "spring covering". If you take off the cotton coat too early, once the temperature drops, or there is a slight change, the human body has not yet risen to a good yang, it will be difficult to resist the invasion of wind and cold, easy to cause a variety of respiratory diseases, gastrointestinal diseases. Ren Xiaohong suggested that before and after the spring, do not wear thin clothes too early, and always prepare a coat when going out. If you have symptoms such as runny nose and sneezing, you can drink some ginger onion white water or brown sugar ginger water.
After the spring, the natural world is full of life and everything is thriving. Ren Xiaohong reminded that we should conform to the vibrant scenery of nature, go to bed early and get up early, go for a walk in the morning, relax the body, and make the emotion conform to the spring hair; it is not advisable to fall asleep at night more than 11 o'clock, and the ugly sleep is the most nourishing liver and blood. People on the night shift can use chrysanthemums, goji berries, and ganoderma lucidum to boil tea to nourish the liver.
Second, comfortable emotions, less acidic diet
It is understood that spring belongs to wood in the five elements, and the liver in the five organs of the human body is also woody, so the spring qi is through the liver. In the spring, the liver qi is vigorous and rises. Chinese medicine believes that spring is the time when the liver is flourishing. Work pressure, stay up late, angry, etc., it is easy to make people feel liver depression, liver fire, so that there is a dry cough of "wood fire punishment gold", stomach pain of "wood Wangke spleen soil", high blood pressure on the liver and yang, etc., so it is very important to nourish the liver in spring.
"People can go outing, sing, exercise, etc. in moderation, maintain an open-minded and optimistic mood, and reduce anger, so that the liver qi is smooth and the qi and blood are smooth." Ren Xiaohong suggested that white-collar workers who often work in the desk can place a pot of evergreen plants next to their computers. If you encounter something unpleasant and the liver is depressed and uncomfortable, you can try the "boo-hee method": in the face of evergreen green plants, make a "boo" sound, slowly and deeply exhale a bad breath until the mood improves.
It is contained in the "Thousand Golden Recipes" that the spring diet should "save acid and increase sweetness, in order to nourish the temper"; the Yuan Dynasty health care masterpiece "The Theory of Regent News" also mentions, "When spring, the taste of food should be reduced and sweet, in order to nourish the temper." "It can be understood that in the spring to adjust the liver and nourish the spleen and stomach, you should eat less sour food and eat more spicy and sweet food." Ren Xiaohong explained that because the sour taste enters the liver, it has the nature of convergence, which is not conducive to the growth of yang qi and the drainage of liver qi. In the spring, you can choose spring onions, coriander, leeks and so on. At the same time, after the spring, whether it is food supplements or medicine supplements, the amount of supplements should be gradually reduced in order to gradually adapt to the seasonal characteristics of spring comfort, hair rise, and tiaoda.
In addition, a moderate amount of exercise promotes the operation of qi and blood and improves resistance. Ren Xiaohong suggested that everyone can get up early to walk, jog, do broadcast gymnastics, play tai chi, etc., but should avoid strenuous exercise and sweating.
Third, prevent colds, soup recipe health
"Cold spring" suddenly becomes cold, which is easy to cause cold in the human body and easily induces a cold. Ren Xiaohong said that the following two methods can prevent colds:
One is the fumigation or smoking room. Pour an appropriate amount of white vinegar or aged vinegar into the pot and add water to fry together, or use 20g of mugwort leaves, 20g of herbs, 15g of Cangshu, 40g of Artemisia annua and add water to cook together, fumigate the room for 30 minutes each time. In addition, the smoked room can also be lit with an appropriate amount of wormwood or cangshu.
The second is to soak your feet. People who are cold and afraid of cold can use 20g of mugwort leaves and 20g of herbs, and people with sore throat and dry throat can use 10g of mint and 20g of chrysanthemums, and soak their feet in boiling water.
