The vernal equinox is the fourth of the twenty-four solar terms. It is between the sting and the lucidity, on March 20 or 21 every year.
The day of the spring equinox just divides the day and night, which also means that half of spring has passed.
In this year's most "neutral" solar term, yin and yang are relatively balanced, and the human body can also use nature's peaceful qi machine to recuperate well, don't miss the opportunity.
Spring equinox health should maintain the habit of "going to bed late and getting up early" in sleep, getting up no earlier than 5 o'clock and going to bed no later than 11 o'clock.
After waking up early, you can go outdoors to run or play Tai Chi and Baduan Jin, so that the body's qi and blood can circulate, and the mood is comfortable and pleasant.
At noon, in order to relieve spring sleep, you can take a proper nap, within 30 minutes.
The spring equinox belongs to the middle of spring, at this time the liver qi is strong, the kidney qi is weak, so the diet should be light, you can appropriately choose spicy, sweet, lukewarm products, to avoid greasy raw and cold food.
At this time, you can eat more honey, leeks, spinach, tempeh, green onions, coriander, soybeans, plums and other foods. Acidic foods such as lamb, sea fish, shrimp, crabs and so on should be eaten as little as possible.
At the same time, liver wood wang will overcome the spleen soil, so at this time it is necessary to nourish the spleen and stomach.
If the spleen and stomach are cold, eat more warm foods, such as ginger sugar paste, leeks, fennel, and cinnamon.
If the spleen and stomach are weak, eat more foods that strengthen the spleen and qi, such as yam powder, eight treasure powder, red dates, etc.
Spring is a good time for children to grow taller, if the spleen and stomach are not good, they will accumulate food and old and sick, short and do not grow meat. Our pure iron stick yam powder, the ingredient is 100% earth iron stick yam, which helps to strengthen the spleen and nourish the stomach, and the taste is fragrant, especially suitable for children. If you want to comprehensively nourish the spleen and stomach, you can choose eight treasure powder, and the spleen and stomach are good in order to transport food nutrition well.
After the spring equinox, the Yang Qi sealed in the ground rises more and more, and everything in heaven and earth is recovering. However, the temperature difference between day and night is large, so pay attention to adding or removing clothing at this time, and pay attention to keeping the lower limbs and feet warm.
The elderly and children have poor resistance and are prone to diseases such as colds or rubella, so you may wish to bask in the sun more to dispel cold and evil while adding or reducing clothing at the right time.
In the spring, when everything recovers, the human body will also adapt to nature, and the power of Yang Qi in the body will become stronger and stronger, and the demand for heat dissipation will also become greater.
However, if the liver qi is strong and the heat does not penetrate out in time, there will be some liver depression and fever, such as upset, bitter mouth, dry eyes, sores, dizziness, difficulty sleeping, etc.
Therefore, at this time, we should pay attention to thinning the liver, draining out the liver qi and spreading it out.
During the spring equinox, enjoy tea leisurely. Sisters who have bought our Xiaoyao tea remember to drink it, the ingredients are carefully selected in large particles, brew a pot of flower tea, appreciate the shape and color of roses in the water, smell the aroma, can also help us relax the liver qi very well.
You can also knead the Tai Chong points every day (both sides of the Tai Chong points alternately knead, each side can be kneaded for 3 minutes).
Another way to thin the liver is exercise. Moderate exercise, sweating (slight sweating is enough), let the sweat out, drain a little moisture and heat, this is the best spring for the body.
