What are the taboos for spring health preservation? Don't blindly eat fruits for spring health preservation

Spring has come. We know that the weather in spring is changeable, sometimes cold and sometimes hot. In this special period, the human blood is also in the peak period, and the hormone level is also in the relative peak period. At this time, non infectious diseases, such as hypertension, or large fluctuations in blood pressure, menstrual disorders, are prone to occur; Allergic diseases. Of course, although this is a high-risk period for diseases, as long as you do a good job in health preservation, you can also stay away from the troubles of diseases. So, how should you do specific health preservation work? Please refer to the expert's spring health taboos:Firstly, experts say that spring health should not blindly eat fruits.

Fruits are a favorite food for everyone, but there are also certain rules when eating fruits. Blindly eating fruits can harm one's health. Please tell me what to pay attention to when eating fruits. Eating too much fruit can cause copper deficiency in the human body, increase cholesterol in the blood, and lead to coronary heart disease. It is not advisable to eat too much fruit in the short term. Some people believe that the vitamin content in the skin is higher than that in the flesh, so they eat fruits together with the skin. Surprisingly, when diseases and insect pests occur in fruits, pesticide spray is often used. Pesticide remains in the wax of the peel, and the pesticide residue in the peel is much higher than that in the pulp. Secondly, experts recommend a diet that promotes yang.

Yang refers to the yang energy in the human body. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that yang energy is beneficial for hygiene and provides protection to the human body, making it strong and resistant to the invasion of the six pathogenic energies in nature. In terms of diet in spring, we should follow the principle of nourishing yang in spring and summer proposed by the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon, eat more warm and nourishing foods, enrich the body's sunshine, improve the body's resistance, and resist the invasion of wind and evil on the body. Li Shizhen also advocated in the Compendium of Materia Medica that spicy and soft dishes such as scallions, garlic, chives, Liao, artemisia, mustard, etc. are omnivorous. On the other hand, kidney yang is the root of yang energy in the human body, and nourishing yang in diet also includes nourishing kidney yang. In spring, the sunlight on the human body is abundant on the surface, but the sunlight in the body is insufficient, so it is necessary to eat more foods that nourish kidney yang. Nowadays, besides vegetables such as chat and artemisia, onions, garlic, and chives are all good things for nourishing yang. Thirdly, experts suggest drinking plenty of water in daily life. Drinking water can increase circulating blood volume, promote liver health and the excretion of metabolic waste, and reduce the damage of toxins to the liver. In addition, hydration is also beneficial for glandular secretion, especially for the secretion of digestive fluids such as bile. Drinking fragrant flower tea in spring can help dispel the cold pathogens accumulated in the body during winter, promote the generation and dispersion of yang energy in the human body. Drinking moderate amounts of tea can refresh and relieve fatigue, but don't drink cold drinks in spring. Fourthly, experts emphasize that it is sweet and sour.

The famous Tang Dynasty physician Sun Si said in a paragraph: Spring is sour, sweet, and nourishes the temperament. When spring comes, people do not eat sour food, but sweet food. The benefit of doing so is to supplement the breath of the human spleen and stomach. Chinese medicine believes that the spleen and stomach are the foundation of postnatal development and the source of blood and qi in the human body. With strong spleen and stomach qi, people can extend their lifespan.

But spring is the liver qi. According to the theory of the Five Elements in traditional Chinese medicine, the liver belongs to wood, the spleen belongs to earth, and wood and earth complement each other, that is, the liver is strong and harms the spleen, affecting the digestive and absorption functions of the spleen. Traditional Chinese medicine also believes that the five flavors enter the liver, sour flavors enter the liver, sweet flavors enter the spleen, salty flavors enter the kidneys, etc. Therefore, eating more sour foods can strengthen the function of the liver, make the originally excited liver qi strong, and can damage the breath of the spleen and stomach. In view of this, people should eat less acidic and vigorous foods in spring, and must eat less sour foods. Sweet foods can nourish the spleen, and it is recommended to eat more dates, yams, and glutinous rice balls.
