Among the attributes of nature, spring belongs to wood, and among the five elements, the liver also belongs to wood, so nourishing and protecting the liver in spring is particularly important. In the theoretical system of traditional Chinese medicine, the liver governs dispersion and dispersion. It is angry when it is angry, it is depressed when it is hated, and it is happy when it is stimulated. Therefore, don’t be too angry, jealous or melancholy in spring.
2. In spring, the temperature changes greatly, so the nutritional composition in spring should be based on high calories. The stimulation of cold and heat can accelerate the decomposition of protein in the body, leading to a decrease in the body's resistance and disease. At this time It is necessary to supplement high-quality protein foods, such as eggs, fish, chicken and soy products.

4. Leeks: The climate in spring is cold and warm, so it is necessary to maintain Yang Qi. Leeks are the most suitable for human body's yang energy and are known as natural "Viagra".
5. Spring bamboo shoots: Known as the "first vegetarian food", spring bamboo shoots are a delicacy that has been loved by people since ancient times. Literati and gourmets praised it, and there is a saying that "everyone who tastes new things will spring bamboo shoots".
6. Cherry: Known as the “first spring fruit”, it is currently cultivated throughout our country. Cherry fruit has thick flesh, juicy taste, bright color and rich nutrition. Its iron content is particularly outstanding, more than 20 times more than citrus, pears and apples, ranking first among fruits.
7. Spinach: Spinach is a vegetable available all year round, but spring is the best. "Spring spinach" has red roots and green leaves, is extremely fresh and tender, and is the most delicious. Spinach, which is available in spring, is very beneficial to detoxification and preventing spring dryness.
8. Onions, ginger, and garlic: Not only are they good seasonings, they also have important medicinal value. They can increase appetite, help spring, and also have the effect of sterilizing and preventing diseases. Spring is the most nutritious time of the year when onions and garlic are the most tender, fragrant and delicious. Eating them at this time can prevent the most common respiratory infections in spring.

Extended information:
1. In spring, everything revives and becomes full of vitality. It is also the season when Yang Qi grows. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that each season has the most suitable food, and eating it in moderation can have good health effects.
2. The laws of nature are spring growth, summer growth, autumn harvest, and winter storage. In spring, when the sun rises and the weather turns warm and cool, you must not only adjust your diet reasonably, but also purposefully choose some foods suitable for spring.
3. Human metabolism is strong in spring. People obviously wake up very early in the morning, but now people generally go to bed very late at night, so they have poor sleep. Breakfast should be mainly high-protein foods, such as a bag of milk, an egg, porridge, etc., and you should also drink some coffee or tea to refresh yourself. Generally, southerners have this habit.
4. In spring, everything flourishes and is full of vitality. It is the most active period of human body's physiological functions and metabolism. However, the spring rains are continuous, the weather is humid, and the weather is very unstable. Healthy people can adjust themselves to the environment quickly and generally do not need to take supplements. But people with old illnesses are not so lucky in this changing season, as old illnesses can easily relapse. At this time, for such patients and those who are physically weak after illness, appropriate supplements can be used to improve the body's resistance and allow the body to recover.
