The plan for the year lies in spring. With the revival of all things and the return of spring to the earth, our bodies, which have been dormant for a winter, are also eager to try, hoping to be light and healthy, and make a good start. Below is the "Spring Health Clapping Song". Let's follow the familiar rhythm of childhood and learn easily in cheerful songs.
You shoot, I shoot, spring liver nourishing is the top priority.
You take two pictures, I'll take two pictures. It's a bit sour and sweet.
You take three pictures, I take three pictures, the three parts are not very separate.
You take four pictures, I take four pictures. Don't be greedy when sleeping at night or waking up early.
You shoot five, I shoot five, windproof, breathable, and detoxifying.
You shoot six, I shoot six, slow flowing hair.
You take seven, I take seven, stretch your waist and take deep breaths.
You clap eight, I clap eight, clap the back, lift the anus, and release yang energy.
You shoot nine, I shoot nine, step on spring and shout loudly.
You shoot ten, I shoot ten, listen to some music and flirt.
You take a picture, I take a picture. Liver care comes first in spring.
Health care also emphasizes the importance of severity. Ni Zheng, the chief physician of the Department of Preventive Medicine at Nanjing Hospital of Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, reminds us that liver care should be taken first in spring. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the liver belongs to wood and should be harvested in spring. In spring, all things grow and tree branches elongate, which corresponds perfectly to the rise of liver qi. At this time, the liver bears the most workload, and of course, it requires special care.
The liver regulates the flow of qi and stores blood, affecting the rise and fall of qi and blood circulation. The liver qi is unobstructed, making the body relaxed and energetic. However, if the liver qi is damaged, people may experience discomfort such as fatigue and dry eyes. Therefore, in spring, the liver should first rest. Overwork can seriously deplete blood and directly affect the liver's ability to store blood. When a person lies down, blood returns to the liver. Going to bed on time and getting enough sleep are the best ways to nourish the liver and blood. Don't stay up late, work overtime, or have fun all night just because the weather is good or to boost performance at the beginning of the year. Secondly, in some areas where the weather is dry, drinking plenty of water can nourish yin, moisten dryness, nourish the liver, and promote metabolism. Finally, smoking and alcohol can overload the liver, so try to stay away from oily and spicy foods and supplement with sufficient amounts of high-quality protein.
You take two pictures, I take two pictures. It's sour and a little sweet.
Sun Si, the Tang Dynasty medicine king, said in a paragraph: Spring is sour, sweet, and nourishes the temperament. Sour taste in the five flavors enters the liver. In spring, liver qi is already very strong. Eating only sour taste can lead to excessive liver qi, which may affect the spleen and weaken the spleen and stomach. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to nourishing the spleen and stomach at this time. Professor Guo Haiying, a dietary therapy expert at Nanjing Hospital of Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, stated that sweetness enters the spleen, and spring diet is suitable for eating less sour and sweet vegetables such as yam, pumpkin, sweet potato, carrot, lettuce, cabbage, etc., which are natural sweet foods. In addition, Congee is the most nutritious food for the spleen and stomach. People with stomachache, anorexia, dry mouth, red tongue and thin body can cook yam and jujube Congee, medlar and glutinous rice Congee, carrot and spinach Congee, etc.
You shoot three, I shoot three, don't be too single in three parts.
Everyone has heard the old saying "spring covers autumn frost", but not many people really do it. In early spring, as the weather changes, one should gradually reduce their thick winter clothing one by one. Especially for the following three areas, clothing should not be too thin.
First, the neck. Leaving the neck exposed at will can affect local blood circulation and induce or worsen cervical spondylosis when exposed to cold. It's best to wear a scarf when going out to prevent wind and cold. Secondly, the waist and abdomen. There is a divine canal (navel) in the front of the waist and abdomen, which connects the various meridians and meridians of the human body. Behind it, there is the innate kidney, which can easily affect the blood and gas of the whole body after being cold. Therefore, try not to wear low waisted pants, short jackets, etc. in spring, and if necessary, use a belt to strengthen insulation. Thirdly, legs and feet. Many women wear skirts, shorts, and other clothing early after the start of spring, making their lower limbs vulnerable to the cold and causing discomfort such as cramps and pain. Don't expose your beautiful legs too early in spring. When your feet feel cold, it's best to get up and walk for a while.
You take four pictures, I take four pictures. Don't be greedy when you wake up early at night.The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon records that in the third month of spring, Chen must wake up early at night. Reminder: According to the four natural changes, go to bed a little later than winter and wake up early. This is because in spring, all things come back to life, full of vitality, with longer days and shorter nights, when the energies of heaven and earth intersect and life flourishes. At this point, the human body should also conform to nature, extend activity time accordingly, and maintain a state of vitality. Of course, the night sleeping here is a bit later than the rest time in autumn and winter, but try to go to bed before 11pm and ensure at least 6-7 hours of sleep every day. The organs, especially the liver, should not stay up late to sleep.
Also, do not sleep at night or wake up early. Spring should be the qi of the liver and wood, with a preference for happiness and melancholy. Long sleep time is not conducive to the rise of liver qi, and people are prone to spring fatigue, mental decline and other discomforts. Waking up with the sun after a good night's sleep can help increase sunlight exposure.
You shoot five, I shoot five, windproof, breathable, and detoxifying
Spring is mainly about the atmosphere. This season offers the comfort of a gentle breeze brushing against the face, but strong winds and sandstorms are also essential. The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon believes that wind is the root of all diseases, and lists wind evil as one of the main external factors that cause diseases. In windy spring, the atmospheric flow accelerates, which can easily damage the respiratory tract, causing respiratory diseases such as colds, bronchitis, pneumonia, and triggering chronic diseases such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. It can also spread allergens such as pollen, mites, fungi, and pathogenic microorganisms. Therefore, when going out for activities, avoid the wind and wear a mask when going to crowded public places.
It should be noted that windproof is not about closing doors and windows without ventilation, but about opening windows for ventilation and keeping the air fresh. You can choose between 9-11am or 2-4 pm every day, and when the temperature and air quality are good, you can open the windows for 1-2 hours. You can also go to the suburbs and parks with fresh air, breathe fresh air, expel the body's hot gases, help the body exhale fresh, and remove accumulated garbage and toxins.You shoot six, I shoot six, slow blood flow with disheveled hair
The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon emphasizes that spring health is suitable for walking extensively in court, and walking slowly with disheveled hair.
This is because the sunlight in the human body constantly flows outward and upward, and the head is the meeting place of all suns. Hair and clothing can affect the rise of sunlight. Many women like to tie their hair tightly, which looks refreshing. But in spring, hairstyles must be adjusted appropriately. To help the sun lift hair, it is best to wear hair to keep the skin around the head and periphery in a relaxed and relaxed state, allowing emotions to stretch and blood to flow smoothly, making the whole person full of vitality, and adapting to the breath of spring. Hair tied too tightly or too complexly may also stretch nerves and blood vessels, causing discomfort such as headaches. Along with hair styling, fingers can be used to comb hair and stimulate acupoints and reflex areas in the head, which helps to clear blood vessels and regulate brain function. Similarly, clothing should not be too tight. Spring clothing should be loose and breathable, and try not to wear tight fitting clothes to avoid affecting the circulation of blood. Taking a walk outdoors at the same time can help activate muscles and promote bleeding.
You shoot seven, I shoot seven, stretch your waist and take deep breaths
Spring is a turning point in health preservation from nourishing yin in autumn and winter to nourishing yang in spring and summer. Xu Dacheng, Deputy Director of the Prevention and Health Department of Nanjing Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital, introduced that there are simple daily health care methods. When waking up or feeling tired, stretching out a lazy waist brings indescribable comfort. When the human body is fatigued, blood and gas circulation is slow. At this time, try to stretch the limbs, waist, and abdomen as much as possible, exert muscle strength throughout the body, take deep breaths, which can help promote blood circulation, joints, and invigorate the mind. After stretching lazily, due to the accelerated blood circulation, not only does the body's limb joints and muscles move, but it also awakens the brain and organs, which has a health effect on the whole body.
There are also techniques for lazy waist, try to stretch your body as much as possible, stretch your limbs, and exert all your muscles. When stretching, try to inhale as much as possible; When relaxing, relax your whole body and exhale as much as possible for better exercise results. Regularly performing this action can increase the elasticity of muscles and ligaments, and delay aging.
You pat the eight, I pat the eight, pat the back and lift the anus to release yang energyNourishing yang is the key to spring health. Dai Qibin, deputy director of the Massage Department of Nanjing Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital, introduced two simple methods.
Back pounding: The human body has abundant internal organs and acupoints on the back, and frequent back pounding can stimulate the acupoints of the back skin and subcutaneous tissue, relax tendons, and promote blood circulation. Others can clench their fists and tap, or use a back pounding stick to self operate. Pay attention to the elasticity of the force, lightly tap and maintain a sense of rhythm, 60-100 times per minute, 1-2 times a day.
Anal lifting: Anal lifting can strengthen the lean kidneys and boost yang energy. Lie flat on the bed, with both hands pressed against the outer thighs, eyes slightly closed, and the whole body relaxed. Inhale through the nose, lift the anus and perineum vigorously while inhaling, and slightly contract the lower abdomen and abdomen upwards; After a brief pause of 2-5 seconds, relax and exhale slowly. When exhaling, the abdomen and anus should slowly relax. Relax tightly and do it about ten times.
You shoot nine, I shoot nine, go for a spring outing and climb high.
Spring suburban outing is the most suitable. Outdoor, is the lush greenery the favorite of the liver and eyes, or is it a good season for flying kites? When flying kites, you can look far away, regulate the muscles and nerves of your eyes, relax the muscles of your neck, protect and improve your vision, and prevent cervical spondylosis. Breathing natural and fresh air, clearing the heart and liver fire, emitting stagnation heat, helps maintain various organs. The Secretary General of Nanjing Natural Medicine Association often suggests that if given the opportunity, shout loudly, like a tiger. The liver is shouting loudly at the top of mountains, in mountainous areas, or in the air, which helps to exhale turbid qi and promote the exchange of qi. When the tiger howls, look up to the sky, lift your arms, relax your whole body, and make a sound with force. The sound should be low to high, and the ending should be extended as much as possible, exhaling a clean breath.
You shoot ten, I shoot ten, listen to music and flirt.
Spring is prosperous, and we should also maintain a relaxed mood, not anxious, not angry, not angry, to ensure liver comfort.
Utilize the natural Chen of spring to promote Yang energy, relieve emotional depression, and promote body metabolism. You can raise small animals with your children and family, help others, face the troubles of feeling the purity and beauty of life, think from someone else's perspective, and voluntarily greet neighbors who have emerged from their horns. In addition, Associate Professor Li Jing from the Music Therapy Clinic of Nanjing Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital suggests that music also plays a good regulatory role in emotions. In spring, the five tones are angular tones, corresponding to the liver in the five organs. For people with dizziness, tinnitus, numbness, and emotional depression, they can hear positive yangyun music such as joy, high strides, etc., which can help nourish the liver and kidneys, dispel cold and depression, relieve restlessness, and dreams of insomnia. They can also listen to soothing music such as Erquan Yingyue
