At 10:23 on March 5, we will usher in the stinging solar term. The so-called "sting" refers to the insects and animals hidden in the soil in winter, and the so-called "startling" refers to the spring thunder in the sky that awakens the animals that live in the sting. Therefore, the characteristics of the sting season are: spring thunder, the weather is getting warmer, everything grows, and the world is a spring scene.
This year's sting is the first solar term in March. "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" said: "Spring and March, this is called Chen. Heaven and earth are born, and all things are glorious. Lie down at night and walk early, walk widely in the court, and walk slowly with your hair in order to be ambitious. "In spring, heaven and earth are rejuvenated together, and all things are thriving, so health preservation should conform to the rising of yang energy and the characteristics of the beginning of all things, so that their spirit, emotion, qi and blood are as smooth and vibrant as spring. So how do you do it? The TCM doctors of Changsha Fourth Hospital provided the following health advice for everyone.
You need to pay attention to the following points:
1. From cold to warm, you still need to pay attention to keeping warm.
I believe that we also have a deep understanding, and it is recommended that you do not take off your warm clothes too early, otherwise it is easy to catch a cold and induce diseases. When the temperature warms up at the beginning, it is not advisable to reduce the quilt too quickly to prevent cold. You should develop the habit of going to bed early and waking up early, ensure adequate sleep, and improve your ability to prevent diseases.
2. Spring should nourish the liver and maintainBe in a good mood
The sting season belongs to spring, the liver belongs to the wood, and the spring corresponds, people should pay attention to the maintenance of the liver in terms of health. Because the physiological characteristics of the liver are "happy and depressed", it is necessary to be emotionally optimistic, not to be angry or depressed, and not to be overworked, so that one's spirit and mood are as smooth as spring.
3. Protect the spleen and stomach, and pay attention to dietary care
When the yin and yang of the human body are balanced, the body is healthy. Food is divided into five attributes: cold, hot, warm, cool, and flat. For example, when cooking cold foods such as fish, shrimp and crab, it is necessary to add warm seasonings such as green onions, ginger, wine and vinegar to prevent the dishes from being cold and cold; Another example is to eat leeks, garlic, papaya and other yang-boosting dishes, with eggs and other yin-nourishing ingredients to achieve the purpose of complementing yin and yang. During the sting season, eat more foods that nourish the spleen and liver, such as lean meat, eggs, milk, honey, soy products, etc.; At the same time, you should eat more seasonal vegetables, such as leeks, bean sprouts, bean sprouts, lettuce, daylily, etc., to enhance the body's spleen and stomach qi.
4. Appropriate outdoor to restore "vitality".
In the sting season, spring is coming, the human body is not exhausted, but the yang energy outside is rising, going out for a walk will help maintain the vitality in the body, restore the body's vitality, and enhance the body's immunity and disease resistance. It can carry out outdoor Baduanjin, Tai Chi Boxing, Tai Chi Sword and other traditional Chinese medicine health care exercises.
