Red dates and other spleen-strengthening sweets

Sun Simiao, a famous doctor in ancient China, said: "In spring, it is advisable to keep acid and sweeten it to nourish your temper." It means to eat less sour and eat more sweet in spring. Chinese medicine believes that when the liver qi is strong in spring, eating more sour food will make the liver qi excessive and damage the spleen and stomach, so eat less sour food. In spring, people have more outdoor activities than in winter, so they consume more energy and need more calories. But at this time, the spleen and stomach are weak and the digestive ability of gastrointestinal tract is poor, which is not suitable for eating greasy meat. Therefore, heat can be properly supplied by sweets. Jujube is such a good way to replenish spleen in spring.

Chinese medicine believes that honey is sweet, enters the spleen and stomach, and can replenish the middle energizer, replenish qi and moisten the intestines to relieve constipation. In spring, the climate is changeable, and the weather is hot and cold, which makes people easy to catch a cold. Because honey contains a variety of minerals and vitamins, and has the function of clearing away lung heat and detoxifying, it can enhance human immunity and is the most ideal tonic in spring. Therefore, in spring, if you can drink 1~2 spoonfuls of honey every day, take it with a cup of warm water or add milk, which will have a nourishing effect on your body.

In spring, all plants give birth to bright green buds, and there are many edible spring buds, such as Toona sinensis, bean sprouts, garlic sprouts, bean sprouts, lettuce and so on.
