2. In terms of clothes, although the weather is getting warmer in spring, don't rush to reduce clothes. Because the temperature is warm and cold in early spring, just like a child's face, it changes when it is said, and there are often cold waves coming. Especially for the elderly, they are weak in qi and weak in bone, have poor disease resistance, and are slightly affected by cold, which is easy to cause diseases, because the sudden cold weather will cause vasospasm, blood viscosity, slow blood flow and cause organ ischemia.
So colds, pneumonia, tracheitis, asthma, arthritis, migraine, coronary heart disease and so on will follow. At this time, we should pay attention to the wind and cold, and always keep cotton-padded clothes to use in case of cold. In spring, the clothing style should be loose and stretched, and pure cotton fabric is good in moisture absorption, warm and close to the skin, which is a suitable choice for underwear.
3, in the diet, it is appropriate to choose sweet, spicy and warm products, light and delicious, avoid greasy, cold and sticky food. Choose products that are beneficial to hair growth and rich in nutrition, such as soybean sprouts, mung bean sprouts, oranges, coriander and the like.
Because there are few fresh vegetables in winter, the intake of vitamins is insufficient, and the internal heat accumulated in a winter should be distributed, so we should eat more fresh vegetables, such as bamboo shoots and spinach. For those who are allergic to constitution, susceptible to pollen allergy, urticaria and skin diseases, we should abstain from stimulating foods containing foreign proteins, such as mutton and crabs.
4, there is generally no need for tonic in spring, but for those who are weak, short of breath, lazy, and sweaty, they can use 20 grams of Codonopsis pilosula and Astragalus membranaceus, 5 red dates and 3 slices of ginger, stewed with water and seasoned with salt, which can be taken frequently.
5. In daily life, it is appropriate to stay up late, get up early and go out for a walk to adapt to the vitality of spring, absorb the vitality of nature and keep people energetic.
This is because the yang qi rises, the qi and blood of human body tend to be superficial, the function of circulatory system is strengthened, the blood supply and sweat gland secretion of skin endings are increased, and the load of various tissues and organs is aggravated, so the central nervous system has a calming and hypnotic effect, which makes the body sleepy, difficult to wake up in the morning, and sleepy after waking up. This phenomenon is commonly known as "spring sleep".
To adapt to this physiological change, you should get up early to stretch your body. However, the elderly and sick should master it flexibly according to their own situation. With the gradual increase of temperature, various pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses also begin to grow, multiply and spread diseases at the same time. Therefore, special attention should be paid to indoor hygiene at this time, and the indoor air should be kept fresh and sunny to prevent the occurrence of influenza, meningitis and mumps that are common in spring.
