What should be paid attention to in spring health preservation? Traditional Chinese medicine points out that there are five points to pay attention to in spring health preservation

1. Spring health diet is light and fire-resistant. In spring, people are prone to catching fire, red and yellow urine, constipation, and yellow tongue coating. Rising liver fire, lung yin deficiency, tuberculosis and other pathogens are prone to take advantage of the deficiency. Therefore, it is best to have a light diet in spring.

2. The product of Xin Gan helps with spring yang.

The early spring is full of positive energy. Xingan products can help Chunyang. Xingan grains such as onions, ginger, dates, peanuts, wheat flour, buckwheat, corn, beans such as soybean milk, tofu, red beans, oranges, golden oranges, bananas, apples, pears and other seafood and eggs should also be eaten.

People with yin deficiency and internal heat can choose duck, kelp, mung bean, Sugar cane juice, diamond, lily, etc. to eliminate fire. Eat less sour, greasy, and cold food, choose more main and side dishes containing vitamins B and E, and nourish the spleen and stomach.

3. Have more sweetness and less acidity to prevent "liver hyperactivity". Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that during the spring season, when the liver, one of the five organs in the human body, is in high demand, it is advisable to consume foods that are sweet and spicy in moderation, while avoiding consuming raw and cold foods to prevent damage to the spleen and stomach, as well as to prevent "liver hyperactivity and spleen damage". In this way, we should eat more sweets and less sour food in spring. Because acidic foods enter the liver and sweet foods enter the spleen. Eating too much acid in spring can cause disorders in gastric acid secretion, affecting digestion and absorption, reducing acidity and greasiness, and increasing spleen and stomach function. To prevent liver damage and spleen injury, you can also eat more sweet and mellow jujubes.

4. Supplement vitamin C to cope with spring fatigue.

Modern medicine believes that in spring, it is recommended to eat more foods containing vitamin C and fresh vegetables. The lack of vitamin C in the diet is one of the reasons for "spring sleepiness". Therefore, eating more fresh vegetables such as carrots, cauliflower, cabbage, sweet peppers, celery, kalan, and spring bamboo shoots is also very beneficial to the diet in spring.

5. Supplement appropriately depending on the location.

The climate in early spring has a significant impact on the human body. In spring, there is a large temperature difference between the north and south of China, and the impact on the human body is also different. Spring food and nutrition should also vary depending on the location.

In the north, the cold air in early spring has not subsided, and it is still advisable to warm up. As the climate gradually warms up and the yang energy gradually increases, the warm up gradually decreases. Generally, options include longan, red dates, chestnuts, lychee, yam, pork belly, beef, tripe, lamb belly, chicken, quail, etc.

In the south, it often rains in spring, and low temperature and warmth alternate. In rainy season, the humidity is high, and the spleen is trapped. Crucian carp, black carp, eel, white lentil, lotus seed, soybean milk and other products should be used to invigorate the spleen and dehumidify. On warm days, cold supplements such as Tremella fuciformis, lotus seeds, and mung beans can be added.
