There are many folk rumors about the spring diet, and Chinese medicine also has a lot of emphasis on it. It is commonly known as "eating in spring". The following is the "eating in spring" secrets for health preservation during the Spring Equinox, dedicated to you who love beauty and food.

The following is the seasonal food that the editor carefully recommends for everyone to eat during the Spring Equinox. I hope it will be helpful to you.

Seasonal foods (1) Red dates and other sweet foods that nourish the spleen. Sun Simiao, a famous doctor in ancient my country, said: "In spring, it is better to reduce acidity and increase sweetness to nourish the spleen."

?It means that in spring, you should eat less sour food and more sweet food.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that spring is when liver qi is strong. Eating more sour foods will cause excessive liver qi and damage the spleen and stomach, so you should eat less sour foods.

People do more outdoor activities in spring than in winter, which requires greater physical exertion and requires more calories.

However, the spleen and stomach are weak at this time, and the digestion capacity of the gastrointestinal tract is poor. It is not suitable to eat more greasy meat. Therefore, the calories can be appropriately supplied by sweets.

Red dates are just such a good product for nourishing the spleen in spring.

(2) Honey Chinese medicine believes that honey is sweet in taste and enters the spleen and stomach meridians, which can replenish qi, moisturize the intestines and relieve constipation.

The climate in spring is changeable, with the weather changing from cold to warm, making it easy for people to catch colds.

Because honey contains a variety of minerals, vitamins, and has the function of clearing the lungs and detoxifying, it can enhance human immunity and is the most ideal tonic in spring.

Therefore, in spring, if you can drink 1-2 spoons of honey every day, take it with a cup of warm water or add milk, it will have a nourishing effect on the body.

(3) Spring buds Spring solar eclipse spring buds.

Confucius said: "If there is no season, don't eat", which means don't eat if it is not in season.

In spring, all plants produce bright green buds, and there are many edible spring buds, such as Chinese toon, bean sprouts, garlic sprouts, bean sprouts, lettuce, etc.

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.

Cherry is warm in nature, sweet and slightly sour in taste, and has the effects of replenishing Qi, regulating the body and replenishing the skin, strengthening the spleen and appetizing.

If you can’t eat cherries, strawberries are also a good choice.

(7) Spinach Spinach is a vegetable available all year round, but spring is the best, not "autumn spinach" as Zhao Benshan and Song Dandan said.

Spinach, which is available in spring, is very beneficial to detoxification and preventing spring dryness.

Chinese medicine also believes that spinach is sweet and cool in nature, and can nourish blood, stop bleeding, astringe yin, and moisturize dryness.
