Today (February 19) is the second of the 24 solar terms, rain. In the south, the rainy season means more rainfall. For crops, it is the season of growth and germination, and all things germinate; For the human body, yang energy is about to rise slowly. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, at this time, health preservation should strengthen the liver and spleen. At the same time, due to the large temperature difference between morning and evening before and after the rain, and the heavy humidity, it is necessary to pay attention to the prevention and treatment of respiratory diseases.
As the saying goes: when the rain arrives in spring, get up early and go to bed late. Winter goes to spring, the days are getting longer, the nights are getting shorter, the yang energy in nature is getting longer, and the work and rest time is also adjusted according to the weather. Therefore, in the rainy season, it is necessary to go to bed late and get up early, which is conducive to the rise of liver qi and ensures a good mood for the day.
The rain season is cold and damp, which is easy to hinder the transportation function of the spleen and stomach. Eat more foods that are easy to digest to reduce the burden of spleen and stomach transport, and eat less spicy and sour foods to avoid damaging the digestive function of the spleen and stomach. Rain is "dampness", and it is necessary to eat sweet and slightly warm foods or medicinal and edible products to strengthen the spleen and promote dampness. Such as lotus root, chrysanthemum, camellia, spring bamboo shoots, yams, taro, water chestnuts, sugarcane, red dates, oats, etc. are all good choices, but eat and drink in moderation, not excessive.
At this time, the body's adjustment function cannot keep up with the changes in the weather, and if you don't pay attention to it, diseases such as cold and flu will take advantage of the void. Although the weather is gradually warming, cold air activities are still more frequent, and "spring covering" is still needed.
Lu Chenghua, deputy chief physician of the Department of Pulmonology of Longhua Hospital, said: "Cold protection and warmth are the most important. Don't take off thick clothes too quickly, you need to wear a thicker coat in the morning and evening, and add or subtract clothes in time to keep warm from the cold. The diet should be easy to digest, avoid excessive greasy, and eat less sour, fatty, spicy and stimulating things. If the spleen and stomach function in the diet is normal, it is what Chinese medicine calls righteous qi. Righteousness is mainly reflected in the acquired spleen and stomach functions. We often say that to eat immunity, immunity needs to absorb various nutrients, and it depends on the normal movement of the spleen and stomach. In the diet, seasonal products to prevent diseases, and foods that are easy to digest should be eaten more. ”
There is a cloud in traditional Chinese medicine: "Winter hurts the cold, and spring will be warm." It means that after the cold evil enters the body in winter, it does not develop in the current season, but it occurs in spring. Lu Chenghua said: "First of all, we must treat the symptoms. It is usually the spring temperature caused by the cold and the evil heat, and at this time, it is necessary to clear the heat, soothe the liver, and clear the channels. Only when the evil qi is expelled can the body return to normal. If it is obvious that there is a respiratory infection or warm illness in spring, a light diet is conducive to publicizing and expressing, so that the evil has a way out. Although you need to cover your clothes, you can't cover them too much, and the clothes you choose should be breathable. At this time, there is no need to wear a jacket that protects against the cold or rain, cotton clothes can be better breathable. If the ambient humidity is too high, you can let the room be dehumidified, ventilated, and sunned, and cleaned as soon as possible after washing, washing, and drying. ”
Doctor remindsIf you have a medical condition, you should go to the hospital for medical treatment in time. Whether you go to a traditional Chinese medicine hospital or a western hospital, treat respiratory infections in time so that your condition will not be aggravated. By dispelling the evil table, it helps to ** and ** early.
