In spring, everything is happy and full of vitality, which is the most active period of human physiological function and metabolism. But the spring rain is continuous, the weather is humid, it is warm and cold at first, and the climate is very unstable. Healthy people can adapt to the environment quickly and generally don't need to adjust. But people with old diseases are not so lucky in this changeable season, and old diseases are easy to recur. At this time, for such patients and people who are weak after illness, they can be supplemented appropriately to improve the body's resistance and restore the body. In spring, you should choose general tonic foods, such as chicken, eggs, lean meat and red dates. Not only can you improve your lazy physique, but you can also have plenty of physical strength. However, for people who are obviously weak, they need to choose suitable nourishing Chinese medicines for conditioning, such as American ginseng, longan pulp, codonopsis pilosula, astragalus root and so on. In spring, flowers are in full bloom and the air is filled with a lot of pollen, which is the season of allergic diseases. If you have chronic diseases or allergies, you must avoid eating shrimp, crabs, pickles and other foods in spring, otherwise the old diseases will easily recur. Generally speaking, the medicated diet in spring should be based on flat tonic, and warm tonic should not be used blindly, so as to avoid rising temperature in spring, aggravating internal heat and damaging healthy qi.

Spring diet conditioning should be divided into three stages:

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that spring is the season when yang is born, so people should adapt to the change of weather and keep healthy through diet. The general principle of diet regimen is: 1. Choose high-calorie foods among staple foods; 2. Ensure sufficient quality protein; 3. Ensure adequate vitamins.

The so-called high-calorie food refers to the high-calorie food such as beans and peanuts except rice, flour and miscellaneous grains in the staple food. The so-called high-quality protein refers to milk, eggs, fish, poultry, pigs, cattle, sheep and lean meat. Vegetables and fruits have high vitamin content, such as tomatoes and green peppers, which contain more vitamin C, and are important substances to enhance physical fitness and resist diseases.

Dietary aftercare in spring can be divided into three periods.

Early spring, winter and spring alternate, the temperature is still cold, and the human body consumes more calories, which is suitable for eating warm food. The principle of diet is to choose staple food with high calorie, and pay attention to supplement enough protein. Besides rice and miscellaneous grains, you can also add some beans, peanuts and dairy products to your diet. For example, breakfast: milk 1 bag (about 250ml), staple food100g, and appropriate side dishes. Lunch: staple food 150g, lean pork, beef and mutton (or bean products) 50g, green vegetables 200g, and egg soup or broth. Dinner: staple food 100g, egg fish (or bean products) 50g, green vegetables 200g, bean porridge 1 bowl.

In the middle of spring, the weather changes greatly, and the temperature changes suddenly, which can be carried out with reference to the diet in early spring. When the temperature is high, you can increase the consumption of vegetables and reduce the consumption of meat.

In late spring, at the turn of spring and summer, the temperature is hot and it is suitable for eating light food. The principle of diet is to choose light food, and pay attention to supplement enough vitamins, such as adding vegetables appropriately in the diet. For example, breakfast: 250 ml of soybean milk, staple food 100 g, and appropriate side dishes. Lunch: staple food 150g, fish, eggs, meat (or bean products) 50g, vegetables 250g, and vegetable soup. Dinner: staple food 100g, green vegetables 200g, rice porridge 1 bowl.

In addition to three meals a day, eat more fruits, because the vitamins and minerals contained in fruits are conducive to strengthening physical fitness.

Avoid eating cold and greasy food in spring. Traditional medicine also believes that eating more sour food will lead to excessive liver qi and damage the spleen and stomach, so eat less sour food.
