Time is like flowing water, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will usher in spring. At this time, the weather is getting warmer and warmer, and the spring season, cherry blossoms, peach blossoms, and begonias are in full bloom one after another.
Today, I will continue to share with you the health precautions of Sun Simiao, the medicine king of the Tang Dynasty, and do a good job of prevention in the small details of life, and the qi and blood will gradually increase, and the body will get better and better.
Sun Zhenren month-by-month health care matters" said: In February, the kidney qi has been breathed, the heart qi is gradually coming, and the wood qi is the king. Be cautious of the west wind, scatter the body slowly, and be comfortable.
It was the end of winter and the beginning of spring, the liver wood was strong, the heart fire was approaching, and the kidney qi had weakened. The warm southeast wind blows the earth, and at this time it is necessary to avoid the west wind, which is not in season, and is most likely to hurt the blood and cause diseases.
In February, don't wear too tight clothes, don't tie your hair too tightly, relax mentally and emotionally, move slowly, let the body be in a comfortable state, and your qi and blood will be very comfortable.
This year is the year of Jiachen, the wood is vigorous, the legs and feet are cold, the eyes are red and swollen, the headache, the acne and other hot and cold troubles will be more, it is best to use less brains, go more to the natural walk, so that the qi and blood go more to the lower body.
Zunsheng Eight Notes" said: February New Year, avoid wind and rain, the Lord is sick, and the Lord is plagued.
Even if the weather is warm, don't be too early like in summer, such as wearing too little clothing, eating too many cold drinks, etc., it is easy to have problems - more epidemics, and multiple influenzas in winter and spring belong to this category.
In February, the yang energy is not yet the strongest, and there are more cold and wet spring colds, and the body still needs more protection from us.
Sun Zhenren's month-by-month health preservation matters" said: It is advisable to reduce sweetness and increase bitterness, and replenish lean qi.
In February, eat less sweet and nourishing foods, and eat more spicy foods that are good at qi, which can help the body's yang energy rise better.
In spring, the yang energy has the strength to jump upward, and if you still eat it like winter, it is more nourishing, and it is easy to get on fire and hurt the qi and blood. To follow the trend, you can usually eat more food and drink to help digestion, dredge the body, or soothe the liver and strengthen the spleen, such as vinegar and ginger, to help digestion and strengthen the spleen, clear the liver fire, prevent the liver from bullying the spleen, make our ability to transport weaker, and strengthen the spleen and stomach.
Regarding the health and disease healing effect of ginger, it has been recorded in ancient times. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius had the saying of "not withdrawing ginger food", that is, Confucius could not do without ginger in his diet all year round, and in that era of war and displacement, Confucius lived to be 73 years old, which is closely related to Confucius's emphasis on eating ginger.
Li Shizhen of the Ming Dynasty also pointed out the wonderful use of ginger in the "Compendium of Materia Medica": "Ginger, hard but not hard, can be vegetable, can be and, can be fruit, it can be seen that compared with ginseng, deer antler and other precious Chinese medicinal materials, ginger is cheap and effective, can be used for both medicine and food, is a necessary product to nourish the spleen and stomach, health and disease prevention."
So here, I would like to introduce you to the steps of making a home-cooked vinegar pickled ginger:
1. Wash the ginger, do not peel it, and cut it into thin slices. Ginger peel has an astringent effect and can balance the pungency of ginger.
2. Sprinkle salt on the ginger slices and marinate them for a while to avoid too much water spoilage of the ginger slices, which will also make the ginger slices more crisp and tender. So don't eat too salty, otherwise the cells in your body will also be in a state of dehydration. If you let it sit for an hour, a lot of water will come out.
3. Squeeze out the water and dry. The water is very salty, and the ginger slices are not salty. Squeeze until you can't squeeze out the water, you can also use kitchen paper to suck it up and make the ginger slices as dry as possible. Then it's time to put it in the jar.
4. Soak ginger in vinegar. I used to think that there were too many ginger slices, and the bottle couldn't fit down, naïve, after killing the water, the ginger slices were shriveled and crispy, and a bottle was dissatisfied, only half a bottle was slammed. Cover the vinegar over the ginger slices and let the ginger slices suck up the juice in the rice vinegar!
5. The vinegar itself is preservative, and it can be stored at room temperature. Marinate today, and eat it the next day. Every time you use clean chopsticks to pick it up, it's the right solution, and cover it after clipping.
How to eat: Eat in the morning, 1-2 tablets at a time. Women should not eat for 3 days before menstruation, but they can eat after 3 days. If you don't have time to make it, or have high requirements for the quality of ginger, here is a recommendation for this ready-made vinegar soaked ginger made of Tongling white ginger, handmade with conscience, no additives.
Delicious ginger can make people who don't like to eat ginger fall in love with eating ginger and play a silent role in the body.
We've found a great ready-to-eat product. After comparing no less than 10 suppliers, after tasting, this one is close to a full score. There is no messy addition at all, handmade with conscience, ready-made vinegar pickled ginger without additives.
No additives: acid is nourishing the liver, if you eat a lot of additives, you need to use the liver to metabolize, the liver is affected, and the gains outweigh the losses. Old vinegar: Ginger should be tender Tongling ginger, and vinegar should be old. The vinegar of ginger is made of the most authentic old vinegar, and their aged vinegar brewing technology is a nationally recognized old vinegar brewing technique and is included as a national intangible cultural heritage.
Tongling white ginger: one of the "eight treasures" of Tongling, a perennial herbaceous plant, an annual cultivated crop. Tongling ginger has been scientifically identified by the Horticulture Institute of Anhui Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and belongs to the type of white ginger and row ginger. The fresh ginger skin is white and slightly yellow, the ginger is bergamot-shaped, and the petals are thick and fat. Plump, white and juicy, spicy but not choking. Tongling ginger has long been famous for its characteristics of "large piece and thin skin, juicy and less residue, crisp and tender meat, and rich fragrance".
It is recommended to eat it with breakfast every morning, 7 or 9 o'clock in the morning is the time when the human body's qi and blood flow into the Yangming stomach meridian, the feeling of appetite early in the morning is too refreshing, chew it, the taste of ginger and vinegar is perfectly combined, very crisp and fragrant.
Vinegar pickled ginger is especially suitable for:
Spleen and stomach deficiency and cold. Poor digestion.
Cold hands and feet. Spring is particularly susceptible to colds.
Cold cough. Stomach ache from a cold.
No appetite. Wet and cold.
People who are obese with phlegm, dampness, phleg
In addition to vinegar pickled ginger, I also recommend everyone to eat Wuxin plate, which is still suitable. The "Compendium of Materia Medica" records:
With onions, garlic, leeks, knotweed, artemisia, mustard and tender vegetables, miscellaneous and edible, take the meaning of welcoming the new, called the five pungent plates. The smell is pungent and warm. Eating after fever can damage the eyes. Eating it in the past year helps to develop the five internal organs. Eat often, remove evil qi in warmth, and eliminate qi when eating. 」
It's simple to do:
Shred the green onion and chop the garlic. Cut the leeks, chrysanthemum and mustard greens into pieces and blanch them in boiling water. Then sprinkle with a pinch of salt and drizzle in a pinch of sesame oil and soy sauce.
After mixing, just smelling the spicy smell can make people feel refreshed, and when you take a bite, your whole body seems to be stretched, your nasal passages feel more transparent, and the air seems to be fresher than usual. For those who are addicted to bitterness, you can mix it with mustard, which must be more transparent, and it is particularly transparent from the top of the head to the toes.
People with yin deficiency, fever, and other heat symptoms should not eat it. People with cold spleen and stomach and indigestion can warm their stomachs and eliminate food by eating often.
If you don't like the taste of these foods, you can also try the following method.
Peppermint and perilla are made into tea
Peppermint has a pleasant fragrance, which is usually used as a condiment, and it tastes particularly refreshing with tea.
New edition of Materia Medica: Peppermint enters the liver and gallbladder scriptures, and is good at understanding the evil of half the surface and half of the inside.
Peppermint soothes the liver and regulates qi, and disperses the body's stagnation. It can also be used to relieve dizziness, red and swollen eyes, sore throat, acne, and headaches caused by many heats.
Materia Medica": Perilla, sexual heat can disperse on the diaphragm and on the surface of the cold evil, with its sexual frivolity.
Peppermint and perilla are both spicy foods, which have a power to radiate outwards, one to dissipate heat and one to disperse cold, and some can be used for wind, cold, wind, heat and cold.
In the spring, we can use their power to radiate outwards to increase the strength of yang energy, and disperse the heat and cold poison that has been pushed from the body to the surface of the body, and clean it up properly.
In spring, when the yang energy rises, the body is old and new, and it is easy to have dampness and heat troubles:
insomnia and dreams, unsteady sleep, waking up early, irritable mood and easy to get angry;
Acne oily, dirty, dry;
Bitter mouth, dry mouth, desire to eat cold, poor appetite, heavy breath, toothache, yellow and greasy tongue;
White hair, headache, red, swollen and dry eyes, cough, yellow phlegm.
At this time, you can add some malt, hawthorn, tangerine peel, and poria cocos to soak in water and drink.
*This hawthorn six things paste is paired with malt and hawthorn, which are good at digestion, to clean up the garbage left in the stomach and intestines to avoid generating more hot and humid garbage. Tangerine peel and Poria cocos strengthen the spleen and dispel dampness, regulate qi and dissolve phlegm, which not only fundamentally reduces the generation of phlegm and dampness, but also can directly clean up phlegm and dampness garbage.
In this way, it can not only diverge, help the yang qi rise, but also clean up the garbage, help the body to age, especially suitable for spring drinking.
The raw materials come from all over the country and are of medicinal quality. Material screening, raw material compatibility, packaging production and other links are completed in the pharmaceutical factory in Bozhou, the pharmaceutical capital, and you can drink it with confidence.
In this spring, follow the time of day and clean up your body well
Sun Zhenren month-by-month health matters" said: Don't eat daylily, plague. Don't eat raw sunflowers, it will make people feel angry and turn into water diseases. Don't eat the spleen, the spleen god is king. Don't eat chickens, it will make people stuporous for life.
Eat less daylily in February, especially for people with stubborn diseases, who are prone to aggravate the disease. If you don't eat sunflower (winter amaranth), you are prone to flatulence and water disease. Don't eat the spleen, eat less in February.
Eat less eggs, eggs are nourishing but greasy, and require a lot of strength from the body to digest and absorb, which can easily lead to qi stagnation. You can observe that some people will thicken the tongue coating after eating eggs, and Mr. Xu Wenbing recommends everyone to eat scrambled eggs, and it is best to add some black pepper to help the body. Moreover, eggs are hair and wind, which is easy to affect people's emotions.
In spring, the yang energy rises and is vigorous, and the eggs are easy to stagnate, which is not conducive to the rise of yang energy, so it is necessary to eat less.
However, eating less eggs and most of the health advice is suitable for people with a relatively peaceful physique, not everyone is suitable, and it is best to choose the right way according to your physique.
Sweet food is mainly nourishing, the constitution is yin deficiency, dizziness, dry eyes, sleeping dreams, toothache, yellowish or pale face, low menstrual flow, etc., or qi deficiency is always tired, poor appetite and other problems still need to eat.
When the body's qi and blood are dispersed, such as qi deficiency and easy sweating, heavy menstrual flow, etc., you should also eat some sour food in spring.
Friends who have a weak constitution, a bad spleen and stomach, and are prone to obesity can eat more sweet food. The eight treasures cake of the imperial physician Chen Shigong of the Ming Dynasty The first cake of the millennium health care is very suitable:
One tael of ginseng, poria cocos, yam, lotus seeds (cored), barley seeds, seeds, and lentils are two taels each.
If the spleen and stomach are weak and blocked, you can also buy ** such a good combination of Fuwei cake.
Glutinous rice itself has its own stomach nourishing effect, and then adding these ingredients to nourish the spleen and stomach, the gourd strengthens the spleen and dispels dampness, which can discharge the water and dampness in the body and help the spleen and stomach to be transported. Lotus seeds nourish the spleen and stomach, dispel dampness and at the same time nourish the heart and calm the nerves. White lentils are known as the valley of the spleen, which not only dispels dampness, but is also especially suitable for people with weak spleen and stomach.
Yam strengthens the spleen and replenishes qi, it is also good for the lungs, the lungs can regulate the channel of water, the kidneys are the main body of water, and the spleen transports water, so if the dampness can regulate the lungs, it can also be quickly wetted out. Poria cocos and barley must be there, they rise and fall, which will make the qi in the body work, and the hawthorn will dissolve stasis.
February is also the last good opportunity to soothe the liver and nourish the liver.
Zunsheng Eight Notes" records a good way to soothe the liver and regulate qi and tonify the spleen in spring: make an open bow posture left and right, go to the chest and chest and diaphragm to gather wind and spleen qi, go and force it, where 14 times, close the mouth, so that the heart can follow the qi to disperse.
It can disperse the qi and disease that are congested in the chest and flank, chest and diaphragm, and spleen. On the basis of this action, the second form of the current Baduanjin is derived, and it is recommended that you do more. People who react sensitively will have a hiccup reaction after doing it a few times, which is a sign of ventilation, so don't worry.
The left and right bows are like shooting eagles
Tips: Focus on stretching the ribs and moving the cervical spine. Expand your chest and inhale and regain your exhalation. When shooting the eagle with the bow, the eyes are engrossed in looking at the index finger, holding the bow with one hand and pulling the string with the other to pull the bow to the fullest, and then the eyes and movements slowly relax and recover.
Sun Zhenren month-by-month health matters" said: Don't kill exclusively, in order to follow the way of heaven. On the third day of this month, avoid eating the five internal organs and the heart of a hundred herbs, and the world of food will be lost. It is advisable to bathe on the sixth day, pluck the white hair on the twelfth day, avoid traveling far on the twenty-seventh day, fast, and meditate on the truth.
In February, it is not advisable to eat five internal organs and herb hearts. In February, people and nature are full of life, and there should be no killing.
Doing bad things, having bad thoughts, seeing dirty things, killing, emotions and thoughts will be subtly affected, or repentance, or panic, or tyranny, or moodiness. It makes people abnormal and also makes the qi and blood go against the chaos, and the health is getting farther and farther away.
The practice of strict self-discipline allows inner peace and no regrets. Seeing the flowers and grasses sprouting in spring, and seeing the active animals, these manifestations of life also affect the subconscious self, making people relaxed and happy, and the body's qi will be smooth, peaceful and full of vitality.
Spring conforms to nature, reduces bad thoughts, killing, etc., and fills the heart with vitality.
In February, go on a long trip to see this vibrant nature, which is the best health preservation.
