What are the ways to maintain health during the Spring Equinox in 2018?
Winter has gone and spring has come. February in the lunar calendar has already entered spring. The Fortune Teller website provides you with more detailed information about February in the lunar calendar of 2018!1. Get up early and go to bed early to nourish the liverThe "Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic" said: "The three months of spring are called the time of renewal. Heaven and earth are both giving birth, and all things are flourishing. Sleep at night and get up early, walk around the yard, let your hair down and relax your body, so as to give birth to your spirit. Give life and do not kill, give and do not take away, reward and do not punish. This is the response to spring energy and the way to keep in good health. If you go against it, you will hurt your liver..." This means that after the beginning of spring, the nature is full of vitality and all things are thriving. At this time, people should follow the vitality of nature, go to bed early and get up early, take a walk in the morning, relax the body, and let their emotions follow the vitality of spring and not go against it. This is the health-preserving method that adapts to spring. If you violate this method, you will damage your liver, because spring is the basis of reproduction. Therefore, the way to maintain health in spring is to relax the body and regulate emotions.2. Prevent recurrence of old illnessesThere is an old proverb: "When the grass sprouts again, old diseases reappear." This shows that the period after the beginning of spring is a season when diseases are more prevalent. Common diseases in spring include pneumonia, hepatitis, meningitis, measles, mumps, allergic asthma, myocardial infarction, and mental illness. Therefore, patients with hepatitis, allergic asthma, myocardial infarction, etc. should pay special attention to conditioning and prevention.3. Don’t reduce your clothes too early"Don't take off your clothes in spring and don't wear a hat in autumn." The temperature has not yet warmed up in the beginning of spring, so don't take off your winter clothes too early. After wearing cotton clothes for several months in winter, the body's heat production and heat dissipation regulation is in a relatively balanced state with the winter ambient temperature. As winter turns to early spring, the weather is warm and cold, and the temperature changes greatly. If you take off your winter clothes too early, once the temperature drops, you will find it difficult to adapt and your body's resistance will decrease. Pathogens take advantage of the opportunity to attack the body, easily causing various respiratory diseases and infectious diseases in winter and spring.4. Comb your hair 100 times a day"On Health Preservation" says: "In the three months of spring, comb your hair one to two hundred times every morning." Combing your hair every day in spring is a good way to maintain health. Because spring is the season when natural Yang energy sprouts and rises, the Yang energy of the human body at this time also conforms to nature and rises upward and outward, which is manifested in the gradual expansion of pores, vigorous metabolism, and rapid growth. Therefore, combing your hair in spring is in line with the requirements of health preservation in spring, and it plays an important role in relieving stagnation, promoting the flow of Qi and blood, and promoting the flow of Yang Qi.5. Eat less supplements and saltMany people advocate nourishing the body in winter, but nourishing the body after spring should be done in moderation. The four seasons of the year are characterized by "spring growth, summer growth, autumn harvest and winter storage". Humans are born in nature and should follow the laws of nature. In winter, you should take appropriate amounts of tonic food according to your personal constitution, which is in line with the health-preserving principle of winter storage. During this period, whether it is food supplements or medicine supplements, the amount of supplements should be gradually reduced in order to gradually adapt to the upcoming spring seasonal characteristics of comfort, promotion, and smoothness. At the same time, it is also crucial to reduce salt intake, because salty taste enters the kidneys, and eating too much salt can easily damage kidney qi and is not conducive to maintaining yang energy.6. Eat more leeks and corianderIn spring, when Yang energy is just beginning to emerge, in addition to paying attention to promoting Yang energy, dietary adjustments should also cater to the needs of the internal organs. You should eat some spicy and sweet foods that disperse the energy, and avoid sour and astringent foods. Because sour taste enters the liver and has a astringent nature, it is not conducive to the generation of Yang Qi and the release of liver Qi. You can choose spicy and warm foods such as onions, coriander, peanuts, leeks, etc., and eat less spicy foods.7. Avoid acidic foods and increase spicy foods during the Spring EquinoxThe Spring Equinox and the Waking of Insects both belong to the middle of spring. At this time, the liver qi is strong and the kidney qi is weak, so in terms of diet, we should avoid sour and increase spicy food to help the kidney and nourish the liver. At the same time, because the liver qi is strong, it is easy to overcome the spleen and earth, so in terms of diet, we should pay attention to strengthening the spleen and stomach and removing dampness. In terms of diet, you can eat more ginger, buckwheat, yam, wolfberry, potatoes, cabbage, etc. You can also combine it with medicated food for conditioning. |
