What is spring health knowledge? Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that harmony between humans and nature is an inevitable condition for physical and mental health. Life activities must adapt to natural changes, and the theoretical viewpoint of the unity of heaven and man and the correspondence between heaven and man is proposed. Therefore, people must adapt to natural changes and choose appropriate ways of living and exercise. In spring, we need to choose the most suitable method for spring health preservation, so that the health preservation effect can be twice as effective. Let's take a look at five things that must be done for spring health preservation.
Spring is a season of unpredictable meteorological factors, so don't suddenly take off your thick clothes. There is a saying in ancient times that when a hundred herbs sprout, all diseases will occur. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that wind is the root of all diseases. In spring, wind diseases are common, and the experience of preventing diseases is summarized by covering up in spring and freezing in autumn.
provides a process of adaptation, preventing the invasion of cold pathogens due to rapid changes in temperature, and timely holding up to promote yang energy, thereby enhancing the ability to resist external pathogens.Nourishing Yang, Preserving Yin, Refining Body
Spring Yang Soothes Hair, Harmonizes Qi and Blood in the Human Body, Relaxes Meridians. The ancients particularly emphasized the reproduction of all things in spring, and people should love life and live in harmony with nature while maintaining friendly interpersonal relationships. Qiu Chuji, a health expert of the Yuan Dynasty, runs through the theory of health preservation in his book "On the News of Life Preservation". He advocates going outdoors to exercise and not sleeping for too long. But it is necessary to control the amount of exercise, avoid intense physical activity, soothe and soften, combine movement and stillness, which can absorb the spring yang energy, exhale the old and absorb the new, and not cause damage to the yang energy. Spring is gloomy, with rising yang and active metabolism in the human body. The internal yang and external natural yang grow together. Therefore, spring health should be combined with movement and stillness, nourishing yang and preserving yin.
Optimistic and enterprising, follow the vitality
Heaven and earth are born, all things are glorious. After a long and harsh winter closure, winter and spring come back, the sunshine is bright, the sun rises, and all things are resurrected. From indoors to outdoors, from the city to the outskirts, return to nature, welcome the spring breeze, embrace greenery, bask in the sunshine, and breathe fresh air. Green grass and bamboo, as well as butterflies and flying insects, are full of vitality and joy, giving people a positive and uplifting energy. In this season, going to bed and waking up early at night, walking around in the courtyard, going to bed early and waking up early, not only need to relax the mood, but also relax the body, be optimistic and upward, be brave and enterprising, live a regular life, and adapt to the meaning of nature. Having a happy and healthy mood naturally enhances the resistance to diseases.
Nourishing the liver and protecting the spleen dietIn spring, when the liver is flourishing, the diet should nourish the liver and protect the spleen, mainly by tonifying the stomach and avoiding high heat and spicy food. It is recommended to eat easily digestible foods rich in protein and vitamins. Eat more fresh vegetables. In spring, the human body needs a variety of nutrients, and it is also the off-season for vegetables. The variety is rare, and some small dishes are often overlooked. However, these small dishes are particularly important for human health and should not be underestimated, such as spring chives, spinach, alfalfa, shepherd's purse, etc.
Outing and rejuvenation
Try to engage in outdoor activities as much as possible, as hiking and outings are particularly suitable. Spring returns to the earth, the sunshine is bright, the yang energy rises, and all things revive. With the birth of spring, people's mood on the move increases. Taking a walk in the wilderness can regulate blood flow, cultivate spirit, eliminate troubles, and achieve a peaceful and long-distance work. Adequate sunlight and ultraviolet radiation are beneficial for the absorption of calcium, which is more important for the elderly and children. Spring is suddenly warm and then cold, the climate changes abnormally, and people who are old and weak are prone to chronic diseases caused by wind and cold. They should pay attention to wearing appropriate clothes. (Wang Jixian)
