Qingming is both a solar term and a festival. "Qingming" originally meant that the weather was fine and everything was thriving.

The lunar calendar book says, "On the fifteenth day after the vernal equinox, Dou refers to B as Qingming, and everything is clean and bright. When it is covered, everything is beautiful, hence the name." As the saying goes, "Qingming breaks snow, Grain Rain breaks frost." During the Qingming Festival, the climate is getting warmer and warmer, the air humidity is increasing, peach blossoms are in full bloom, willows are green, birds are singing and flowers are fragrant, and grass grows and warblers fly. It is not only a day to worship ancestors and enjoy the scenery, but also an important opportunity for health preservation and early taste.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that Tomb-Sweeping Day Qi should focus on "keeping up with the season, invigorating yang, regulating the liver and gallbladder, and strengthening the spleen and stomach", and should specifically achieve "six no's and four precautions".

Qingming health liubu

Not quiet

In spring, the yang in nature rises, so people should take advantage of the situation and pay attention to raising yang. The key is "moving" rather than "static". When the sun is shining, you should actively go outdoors and exercise diligently. You can drink some hot drinks such as boiled water and milk before exercise.

Not angry

Spring is the time when the liver yang is excited, and the mood is irritable, so we should be open-minded and harmonious. Depression can lead to stagnation of liver qi and easily lead to mental illness, liver disease, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, etc.

There is no freezing.

The climate is hot and cold in spring, so you should know how to cover it in spring. Add clothes or undress in time. When changing clothes, follow the principle of "the lower part is thick and the upper part is thin", and try to make the body "not cold or cold" to help nourish the yang.

Not wet

The bedroom should be ventilated with windows every day. Bedding and clothes should be kept dry and breathable. Wear loose cotton clothes and dry them in time after sweating to avoid being in a humid environment for a long time.

Not greasy

During the Qingming period, the temperature rises gradually, the rainfall increases, the air humidity increases, the diet should be light, and the thick fragrance should not be eaten. Eat more fruits and vegetables to prevent dampness from damaging the spleen and accumulating heat in the body.

Not sour

Diet should be "sour and sweet". Because the liver yang is too strong in spring, if you eat more acidic food, it will easily lead to excessive liver qi, and the liver will easily damage the spleen and stomach, so the spring diet should not be too acidic. Acidic foods include dog meat and sea fish. It is advisable to eat sweet and spleen-strengthening products, such as beef, yam, spinach, shepherd's purse, jujube and leek.

Four "lines of defense" for Qingming health preservation

Prevent catching a cold

Qingming is warm and cold, and microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses grow rapidly. At this time, if you don't pay attention to the combination of work and rest and keep warm properly, it is easy to cause a cold.

be antianaphylaxis

Many people have recently developed symptoms such as rash and wheal. Some have itchy noses and sneezes. These are all allergic symptoms. People with allergies should avoid contact with pollen catkins that may cause allergies and wear masks when going out; Pay attention to your diet and don't eat allergic food, such as shrimp, crab, milk, etc.

Insect bite

In spring, the temperature warms up, everything recovers, and insects and snakes are active. Tick bites and bee bites occur from time to time, and insect bite dermatitis is not uncommon. So pay more attention to outdoor activities.

Prevent diarrhea.

During the Qingming period, the temperature rises, and food tends to deteriorate, leading to acute gastroenteritis. Pay attention to "the disease enters from the mouth". Once diarrhea symptoms appear, the basic principle is not to consume physical strength, replenish water, and go to the hospital if necessary.

It's just the right time to keep healthy early.

After a winter of Tibetan fish, shrimp and seafood, they become active with the change of seasons. After eating fresh aquatic plants and plankton in spring, the river becomes clearer. Introduce four kinds of cheap and fine spring seafood to friends.
