Traditional Chinese medicine's concept of keeping in good health in spring;
Spring in TCM is the season of life. People should follow the laws of heaven and earth and adopt the attitude of living without killing and giving without taking. Therefore, a gentleman does not kill the newly awakened larvae or break the newly sprouted buds.
The above is the way to keep fit in spring. Violation of the law of spring will damage the liver (the liver belongs to wood and governs spring). You can't make a fire if the wood is hurt. Xia Yue is a fire, wood can't make a fire, so a cold will happen in summer.
Nourishing yang in spring focuses on nourishing liver. Chinese medicine believes that the human body governs the liver in spring, and the liver qi is naturally abundant in spring. Therefore, improper health preservation in spring is easy to hurt liver qi. In order to adapt to the change of seasonal climate and maintain human health, we should pay attention to nourishing the liver first in diet conditioning. From the point of view of "nourishing Yang in spring and summer", we should eat more ginger isothermal food to drive away yin cold and make "Spring Yang" rise, and should eat less cold food such as cucumber, wax gourd, eggplant and mung bean sprouts.
Principles of vegetarian nutrition in spring
1. Choose staple food with high calorie and pay attention to supplement enough protein: In early spring, the temperature is still cold, and the human body needs to consume some energy to maintain the basal body temperature in order to keep out the cold. At the same time, cold stimulation can accelerate the decomposition of protein in the body, leading to the decline of body resistance and illness.
2, the principle of sweetening and reducing acid: when the liver fire is prosperous in spring, eat less acidic food, otherwise it will make the liver fire more prosperous, leading to the decline of digestion and absorption function of the spleen and stomach, affecting human health.
3. Eat disease-resistant and non-toxic foods and pay attention to supplementing enough vitamins: the temperature changes greatly in spring, and microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses begin to multiply in large numbers, and their vitality is enhanced, which is easy to invade the human body and cause diseases. Therefore, we should take enough vitamins and inorganic salts in our diet.
