When it comes to health preservation, people often say to maintain a peaceful state of mind, but spring health preservation is different. Experts say, "Don't be peaceful in the spring; you must let your mood be joyful and happy. It is in autumn that one should seek peace."
Bananas and pears are not suitable for eating
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that one should nourish the "yang" energy in spring and summer, so one should eat more pungent things in spring. For example, the folk custom is to eat spring pancakes made with spring chives on the second day of the second lunar month. Chives are pungent and have the effect of promoting the body's energy, causing slight sweating, which can help expel cold from the body. In addition, you can also eat some chili peppers, radishes, etc. Conversely, those foods that nourish "yin" and are cool and cold are not suitable for consumption in spring (except for special patients), such as bananas, pears, lilies, tremella, etc. Especially raw and cold things, like ice cream and cold drinks, will gather cold in the body, leading to a weak spleen in summer and a series of discomforts.
Don't sweat too much when "spring covering"
Everyone knows the saying, "Dress warmly in spring and expose yourself to the cold in autumn," but you can't achieve health benefits by just "covering" casually. Experts say that the extent of "covering" is that you should not sweat too much. If the weather is already very hot and you are still dressed in many layers, it's not good if you sweat a lot.
It's not advisable to wear single shoes too early
As the saying goes, "illness starts from the feet." Nowadays, many young girls start wearing single shoes very early, which is very harmful to their health. The feet and lower legs are the convergence point of the three yin and three yang meridians of the human body. The inner side of the lower leg is the three yin meridians of the liver, spleen, and kidney, and the outer side is the three yang meridians of the gallbladder, stomach, and bladder. They are very important for the human body, so you must pay attention to keeping them warm and should not wear single shoes too early.
Exercise is not advisable on foggy days
With the arrival of spring, more and more people are joining the fitness craze, but it is not advisable to exercise on foggy days. Fog droplets contain a large amount of harmful substances such as dust and pathogenic microorganisms. During exercise, due to increased breathing, more harmful substances will inevitably be inhaled into the lungs.
