How to maintain health during the Grain Rain solar term?

“The snow stops at Qingming and the frost stops at Guyu.” Guyu is the last solar term in spring. The ancients named this solar term “Guyu” because it means “rain brings forth hundreds of grains.” Starting from Grain Rain, the temperature rises and precipitation increases. In such a prosperous season with the growth of Yang energy, it is the right time to maintain health. Understand the characteristics of the rising and comfortable spring energy and give your body a "spring cleaning" to lay the foundation for the arrival of summer and a year of health. After Grain Rain, rainfall increases in various places and the humidity in the air gradually increases. At this time, health preservation should conform to the changes in the natural environment, and through the body's own regulation, the internal environment should adapt to the changes in the external environment to maintain the normal functions of the various organs of the human body.
Although the temperature has started to warm up, it is still relatively cool in the mornings and evenings. Those who go out early and come back late should pay attention to adding or removing clothes to avoid catching a cold. People with allergies should prevent hay fever, allergic rhinitis, allergic asthma, etc. during this season. Pay special attention to avoid contact with allergens and reduce outdoor activities. Reduce the intake of high-protein, high-calorie foods in your diet, and go to the hospital promptly if an allergic reaction occurs.
At this time, the Yang energy gradually increases and the Yin energy gradually disappears. You should go to bed early and get up early, and avoid sweating excessively, in order to regulate the internal energy. In addition, because there is more rain during the Grain Rain season, we must prevent dampness from invading the human body and causing symptoms such as shoulder and neck pain, joint pain, abdominal distension, and loss of appetite.
