Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the principle of health preservation in spring is to soothe the liver, regulate qi, and smooth emotions. In spring, it belongs to wood and corresponds to the liver. The liver is responsible for regulating and releasing qi, and regulating the flow of qi. Spring is the season for the revival and flourishing of all things, and the human body should also follow nature, regulate yang energy, maintain a relaxed mood, and help generate vitality. You can relax and avoid excessive anxiety by listening to music, taking a walk, practicing yoga, and other methods. Nourishing blood is an important part of spring health preservation. You can eat more foods that nourish blood and liver, such as red dates, goji berries, black sesame seeds, etc. Spring diet should eat more tender shoots of plants and green vegetables, such as bean sprouts, toon, celery, shepherd's purse, etc., which can help soothe the liver, regulate qi, clear heat and detoxify. Moderate consumption of some warm and spicy foods, such as onions, ginger, garlic, chives, etc., can help drive away cold and warm the stomach, and promote the circulation of qi and blood. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that sourness enters the liver, and excessive consumption of sour foods can suppress liver qi, which is not conducive to the generation of yang energy in spring. Spring diet should reduce acidic foods and increase sweet foods such as jujube and yam to harmonize the spleen and stomach and enhance physical fitness. The temperature changes greatly in spring, so special attention should be paid to keeping warm, especially in the abdomen and feet to avoid getting cold. In spring, it is easy to feel tired. Taking a 30 minute nap can help restore energy. In spring, yang energy is generated, and all things revive. The human body should also follow the natural laws, go to bed early and wake up early, and avoid staying up late. Adequate sleep helps to replenish liver blood and enhance immunity. Suggest arranging a reasonable schedule and balancing work and rest. (New Society)
