Traditional Chinese medicine believes that in the third month of winter, it is a time of seclusion, just like how trees shed their leaves in winter to reduce water evaporation. People should also reduce their activities and avoid sweating during winter. It's spring now, and if your body is tired and weak, you always say you're spring sleepy. In winter, you definitely haven't taken care of your kidneys, and when your body is preparing to age in spring, the nutrients won't keep up. Remember the "Five Inappropriates" for Spring Health Preservation!
Not only should we try to reduce sweating, but we should also go to bed early and wake up late in winter, pay attention to insulation, and be in a bad mood. If this is not good in winter, we cannot adapt to spring. Moreover, just like how winter affects spring, if spring does not require proper health maintenance methods, there will be corresponding discomfort in summer.
Emotional disharmony in spring
The plan for the year is in spring, which can be said to be a very important season of the year, and so is health preservation. In the past, when it came to health preservation, people said they had a calm mood, but the health preservation in spring is different. Liu Min said: Spring is not peaceful, spring should make the mood happy, autumn should be calm. Bananas and pears should not be eaten. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that nourishing yang in spring and summer requires eating more spicy foods. For example, folk people attach great importance to eating spring cakes made from leeks on the second day of the second lunar month. Leeks are spicy, have hair growth effects, sweat, and help to dispel coldness in the body. In addition, you can also eat chili peppers, radishes, etc. On the contrary, foods that nourish yin and are cold should not be consumed in spring (except for special patients), such as bananas, pears, lilies, Tremella fuciformis, etc. Especially raw and cold things, such as ice cream, cold drinks, etc., can accumulate coldness in the body, leading to spleen deficiency in summer and causing a series of discomforts.
Spring covering should not cause excessive sweating
As we all know, "spring covering and autumn freezing" cannot achieve the effect of health care just by "covering" casually. Liu Min said that the degree of covering should not cause sweating. If the weather gets hot and the three layers inside and outside are covered, it's not good to sweat a lot.
Don't wear shoes too early.
As the saying goes, diseases start under your feet. Many young girls nowadays have already started wearing single shoes, which is very harmful to their health. The feet and calves are the convergence of the three yin meridians and three yang meridians in the human body. The inner side of the calf is the liver, spleen, and kidney meridians, while the outer side is the gallbladder, stomach, and bladder meridians. They are very important for the human body, so it is important to keep warm and avoid wearing single shoes too early.
It's not advisable to exercise in foggy weather
With the arrival of spring, more and more people are joining the trend of exercise, but it's not advisable to exercise in foggy weather. Mist droplets contain a large amount of harmful substances such as dust and pathogenic microorganisms. During exercise, breathing increases and more harmful substances are inhaled into the lungs.Middle aged and elderly people should pay special attention to the following points when exercising in spring:
1. Do not exercise on an empty stomach. In addition to low blood sugar levels in the morning, the body's blood viscosity, combined with factors such as low temperature and vasoconstriction, may lead to low blood sugar levels and sudden cardiac death during fasting exercise.
2. Do not proceed suddenly. Before exercising, do simple limb exercises to prevent ligament and muscle sprains [SEP]. Pay attention to insulation. When starting to exercise, do not immediately take off your coat. After the body heats up, please gradually reduce clothing.
