Guyu is the sixth solar term of the twenty-four solar terms, and also the last solar term in spring, which is valley rain when the sun reaches 30° of ecliptic longitude from April 19 to 21 every year, which originates from the ancient saying that "rain is born of hundreds of valleys". At the same time, it is also the best time to sow seedlings and pick melons and beans.
"Qingming snow breaks, valley rain breaks frost", meteorological experts said that valley rain is the last festival in spring, the arrival of valley rain festival means that the cold wave weather is basically over, and the temperature rise is accelerated, which is greatly conducive to the growth of cereal crops.
Valley rain three times
Ancient China divided Gu Yu into three seasons: "The first hou ping was born; The second dove whisks its feathers; The third is dai ren descended to Sang. "It means that after the rain in the valley, the rainfall increases, the duckweed begins to grow, then the cuckoo begins to remind people to sow, and then the mulberry tree begins to see the daisheng bird.
Rain gives birth to a hundred things. Flowers bloom in The Hundred Blessings
During the rainy season of the valley, in the southern region, "the poplar flowers fall to the end of the rules", the willows fly down, the rhododendrons cry at night, the peony spits, the cherry is ripe, and the natural scenery tells people: It is late spring. At this time, the temperature in the south rises rapidly, and the average temperature in late April, except for the northern and western parts of the rainy season in the South China Valley, has reached 20 °C to 22 °C, which is more than 2 °C higher than in the middle of the year. In eastern China, there will often be a high temperature of more than 30 days in one or two days, which makes people begin to feel hot. The low-altitude river valley has also entered the summer season.
Diet therapy, safe into the summer
As the last festival of spring, liver qi grows to the top when the valley rains, at this time the liver wood is exuberant, and the spring and summer alternate, the spleen soil is in a vigorous period, the spleen and stomach are in a vigorous period, the spleen and stomach are mutually superficial, the valley rain is a high incidence of stomach disease, we must pay attention to the maintenance of the spleen and stomach. Poor liver qi in spring will affect the health of summer.
01
Diet should be "four low"
In the late spring diet, attention should be paid to considering four aspects, such as low fat, low sugar, low cholesterol and low stimulation. Low fat is less fat, the total daily intake of oil and fat does not exceed 30% of the total diet; low sugar is to eat less free sugar, excessive sugar will also affect the health of the human body; low cholesterol is to eat less animal food with high cholesterol, because too high cholesterol will lead to arteriosclerosis and heart and cerebrovascular and other diseases, daily meat food can not exceed 300 grams; low stimulation is to eat less spicy food. Highly recommend scallop food here, the perfect combination of these four aspects.
Scallops are rich in carotenoids, unsaturated fatty acids EPA and DHA. EPA can greatly reduce the formation of blood clots and the phenomenon of hardening of arteries. DHA can not only promote intellectual development and improve IQ, but also reduce the incidence of Senile dementia. A glycoprotein extracted from the closed shell muscle of scallops has the effect of destroying cancer cells.

Replenish the spleen
Gu Yuyang qi rises, and people with heat accumulation in the stomach and intestines are prone to fire once they eat improperly, and even induce spring diarrhea, gastritis, stomach ulcers and other diseases. Diet can eat some low-fat, low-protein, high-vitamin vegetables, such as cabbage, spinach, toon, dandelion, etc., has the effect of clearing heat and dispelling fire. The sweet product of the valley rain season - lily lotus seed silver ear soup, dessert has the effect of nourishing the yin and moisturizing the lungs, nourishing the qi and nourishing the heart.

Promote supplementation to nourish the liver
In the late spring, flowers and trees sway with the wind and grow in stretch. Chinese medicine believes that spring qi corresponds to the liver, and it is advisable to keep the liver qi free. For example, the liver is depressed, as if the grass and trees are bound and cannot stretch out, causing depression, sadness and other emotions to breed, and even suffering from mental illness. At this time, people can stand on a high place and look out, pour out their bad emotions to others, or shout and sing loudly during outings, and vent their bad emotions in time to stretch their liver qi.

Indoors need to be kept warm
Spring tends to feel colder indoors than outdoors, and it often feels shady. Chinese medicine theory believes that the cold qi is heavy, the hands and feet are cold is the reaction of qi deficiency, qi stagnation, blood deficiency, and insufficient yang qi, that is, the manifestation of kidney yang deficiency, and the only way to discharge cold qi is to rely on "nourishment", nourishing enough qi and blood, and replenishing yang qi in order to gradually discharge cold qi out of the body.
The unique bioactive substances in sea cucumber can directly act on the various gonads of the human body to regulate endocrine! The endocrine is normal, the metabolism is normal, and then the organs can work normally. The spleen has a strong hematopoietic function, the blood is sufficient, and the yang qi will not be damaged.
