In spring, the temperature warms up, and the humidity in the air gradually increases. Especially in the south, the spring is mushy, hazy, and humid.

Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to the spring diet to be "less sour and more sweet", which is the basic rule of liver nourishment. In spring, the liver of the human body is full of yang, and if you eat acidic food, it will cause the liver to be too hot and damage the spleen and stomach. Therefore, avoid excessive intake of acidic foods in your diet, such as lamb, dog meat, quail, fried peanuts, fried melon seeds, marine fish, shrimp and crabs. Instead, eat more foods that are sweet and warm and spleen-nourishing, such as yams, spring shoots, spinach, jujubes and leeks.
