The so-called "Spring Equinox is when yin and yang are half and half, so the day and night are equal and the cold and heat are neutral." Balance your diet according to the harmony of yin and yang.1. Avoid overly salty foods, such as salted fish, bacon, pickled mustard tubers, salted eggs, etc. This type of food can cause water and sodium retention in the body, which can easily aggravate the symptoms of patients with hypertension. 2. The general principle is to avoid extreme heat or cold, and strive for neutrality. If you eat cold food, you should take it with food that eliminates heat and dampness; if you take food that benefits the yang, you should take it with food that nourishes the yin to achieve a balance between yin and yang. 3. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, spicy and dry foods, such as chili, curry, pepper, mutton, dog meat, onion, white wine, etc. This type of food can easily cause dryness, increase the viscosity of phlegm, and damage the lung yin. 4. Avoid all kinds of raw and cold fruits, ice cream, frozen drinks, etc. This kind of cold food is harmful to the spleen and stomach. It is not conducive to the transportation and transformation of water and moisture, and may accumulate moisture and produce phlegm. How to adjust your diet during the Spring Equinox:People who need to raise "heat"The climate is still very cold in early spring. The cold stimulates the thyroid gland, which can cause hyperfunction, consume calories and weaken the body's endurance and resistance. On the other hand, in order to keep warm, the human body also needs to consume calories to stabilize basal body temperature. Therefore, the diet during early spring should be mainly high in calories. In addition to cereal products, you can also choose glutinous rice products and foods such as soybeans, sesame powder, peanuts, walnuts, etc. to replenish energy in time. People who need to nourish their livers: Spring belongs to wood in the five elements, and the liver is also wood among the five internal organs of the human body, so spring air flows through the liver. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that spring is the time when the liver is active. Taking advantage of the opportunity to nourish the liver can avoid yin deficiency during the summer, but over-nourishing the liver may lead to excessive liver fire. If the liver qi rises too much or becomes stagnant, it can easily damage the liver. In spring, you should eat more cool foods to nourish your liver, such as porridge, tea, fruits, etc. For people who need to nourish their kidneys , the spring weather is pleasant, which is a good time for patients with poor kidney function to nourish and regulate their kidneys. Taking kidney-strengthening formulas and kidney-solidifying medicated foods at this time have a higher effect on the early stages of kidney damage. Patients should pay attention to lifestyle conditioning in spring, and eat a light and sweet diet. You can eat light vegetables and fruits, such as mangosteen, lotus root, coix seed, cucumber and cantaloupe. People who need to nourish their spleen Traditional Chinese medicine also believes that: "In spring, you should reduce sour food and increase sweet food to nourish your spleen." This is because spring is the time when the liver qi is strong, and the strong liver qi will affect the spleen, so symptoms of spleen and stomach weakness are prone to occur in spring, and eating more sour foods will make the liver yang hyperactive. Therefore, in spring, it is appropriate to choose spicy, sweet and warm foods, avoid sour and astringent foods, and eat more vegetables and wild vegetables. People who need to nourish their stomachs should avoid consuming pork soup, chicken soup, fish soup, beef soup, spinach, beans, animal offal and irritating condiments that are rich in creatine, purine and other substances, because the above-mentioned foods have a strong stimulating effect on the secretion of gastric juice, and are also prone to form gas, leading to abdominal bloating, and increasing the burden on the gastrointestinal tract. The diet should be light and easily digestible, and the above-mentioned honey therapy can be adopted. For people who need to nourish yang, spring and summer are the times when the temperature in nature rises and the yang energy gradually becomes stronger. At this time, health care should focus on nourishing yang in order to adapt to seasonal changes. According to the characteristics of the growth of yang energy in the human body in spring, you can choose a mild tonic or a light tonic diet, such as warm tonic foods. A balanced tonic diet is suitable for normal and weak people, such as buckwheat, coix seed, soy milk, mung bean, apples, sesame seeds, walnuts, etc. A light and nourishing diet refers to a diet made with foods that are cool in nature, such as pears, lotus roots, shepherd's purse, lilies, etc. People who need to nourish yin, those with yin deficiency and gastric and duodenal ulcers are prone to attack in spring. In terms of diet, honey therapy can be adopted. Steam the honey and take it on an empty stomach before meals, 100 ml per day, divided into 3 times; or use 250 ml of milk, boil it, add 50 grams of honey and 6 grams of white hyacinth, mix well and drink. These all have the effects of nourishing yin and benefiting the stomach. People with yin deficiency and internal heat can choose foods such as rice porridge, red bean porridge, lotus seed porridge, and green vegetable puree. Do not eat sweet, greasy, fried, fatty, raw, cold, and rough foods. Chronic bronchitis in the elderly, who need to nourish their qi, is also prone to attacks in the spring. In spring, Yang energy rises, and the Yang energy in the human body also rises accordingly. To support Yang energy, you should pay attention to your diet. You can often eat onions, coriander, fermented black beans, dates, astragalus, etc. You should also eat more foods that have the functions of removing phlegm, strengthening the spleen, nourishing the kidneys and lungs, such as loquat, pear, lotus seeds, lily, dates, walnuts, honey, etc., which will help alleviate symptoms. People who need to nourish their brains In spring, people with hyperactivity of liver yang are prone to headaches and dizziness. This is the reason why traditional Chinese medicine says that "all diseases are caused by spring qi in the head." The dietary prevention and treatment method is to eat 250-500 grams of bananas or oranges every day; or use 100 grams of banana peel, boil it in water and drink it frequently instead of tea. In addition, you can also use 250 grams of celery and 10 red dates, boil them in water and drink them instead of tea. |
