On February 19th, he entered the "rain" solar term as the second solar term in 24 solar terms. At this time, the temperature rose, the ice and snow melted and the precipitation increased, so he was named rain.

Strengthening the spleen and eliminating dampness

"With the arrival of the solar term of rain, the spring rain usually increases slowly, but if there is too much rain, it will also lead to excessive moisture, which is the most direct harm to the human body, which is dampness blocking meridians and dampness trapping the spleen and stomach, resulting in joint stiffness, skin eczema, loss of appetite, diarrhea and other symptoms." Dr. Yu Liping said that the spleen should be maintained before and after the rain, and attention should be paid to strengthening the spleen and eliminating dampness. At the same time, the diet before and after the Spring Festival is also easy to cause bloating and stomachache, and greasy foods such as sweets, meat and nuts and drinking alcohol are easy to induce spleen and stomach diseases. At this time, we should pay more attention to strengthening the spleen.

She suggested that in rainy season, citizens should drink warm water properly and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables to supplement the water needed by human body, enhance blood circulation and promote metabolism. Jujube can be used for nourishing spleen and stomach. Jujube is flat and sweet, and it is a good product for invigorating spleen and stomach. You can also eat more leek, Toona sinensis, lily, chrysanthemum, yam, taro, lotus root, radish, sugar cane and so on.

porridge is better for dietotherapy, for example, lentil and coix seed porridge, Pinellia tuber yam porridge and coix seed Chen Pizhou, all of which can strengthen the spleen and stomach and eliminate dampness. In addition, you can eat a little spinach properly, which can soothe the liver, replenish blood and nourish qi.

Don't cut down on clothes too early

So, what should you pay attention to in your diet and daily life?

Yu Liping introduced that, as the saying goes, "Spring covers the autumn and it freezes", and rain and solar terms should be kept warm. Don't cut down on clothes too early to prevent "cold in spring". At this time, people's body regulation function can't keep up with the change of weather. If you don't pay attention, colds will take advantage of it.

The most important thing in "spring covering" is to cover your legs and feet, especially the middle-aged and elderly people and children with weak resistance, so as to avoid being attacked by cold, hurting your lungs after catching cold, and causing diseases such as colds, asthma and chronic bronchitis.

However, she also said that "spring clothes" should be adjusted according to personal physique and personal feelings about seasonal temperature changes. For example, if you are a young adult with strong physique, at noon in spring, if the sun is better and the temperature is higher, you can reduce your clothes appropriately. When the temperature is cooler in the morning and evening, you should increase your clothes to make yourself feel warm and suitable. The public can give priority to reducing the upper body clothes, but the warm pants of the lower body should be worn for a while, so as to prevent the cold from starting from the foot.

in addition, you can't ignore the warmth of your back and abdomen when reducing your coat. Because the back and abdomen of the human body have the governor and ren meridians that control the yang and yin, rain and solar terms can help prevent colds and cold diarrhea.

Take a nap at noon

It is also very important to combine work and rest in daily life during the rainy season. Yu Liping suggested that citizens should live normally and conform to nature. This solar term is heavy in moisture, and the dampness and evil are trapped in the spleen, which makes people easily sleepy. Many people are easily sleepy in spring, which is the reason.

Therefore, she suggested that citizens should make reasonable arrangements in their daily life, try to go to bed early and get up early, try to go to bed before 11 o'clock at night, and take a proper nap at noon, which is beneficial to work, life and study.

moving helps yang qi to rise

Yu Liping also introduced that after the rain and solar terms, the weather changes, and people are prone to emotional fluctuations, which may lead to mental depression and anxiety, which is not good for health.

She suggested that during this period, everyone should adapt to the changes of natural qi, and appropriately increase outdoor activities to relax and improve bad mood.

Because the solar term in rain is cold in the morning and evening, it is not appropriate to do too intense exercise. According to your own situation, you can take a walk or brisk walk. In addition, you can also do exercises such as Ba Duan Jin, Six-character formula and respiratory function exercises, which can enhance the lung function and help the rise of yang.
