A year's plan starts with spring, which can be said to be a very important season of the year, and the same goes for health preservation. In the past, when it came to health preservation, people would talk about having a calm mind, but spring health preservation is different. Experts say, "Don't be calm in spring; you must let your mood be happy and joyful. It's only in autumn that you should seek peace."
Bananas and pears should not be eaten.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that one should nourish Yang in spring and summer, so one should eat more pungent things in spring. For example, it is a folk custom to eat spring pancakes made of spring leeks on the second day of the second lunar month. Leeks are pungent and have an effect of promoting growth, making people sweat slightly, which can help expel cold from the body. In addition, you can also eat some chili, radishes, etc.
On the contrary, foods that nourish Yin and are cool and cold should not be eaten 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 causing 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 the health benefits by just casually "covering up." Experts say that the degree of covering is that you should not sweat too much. If the weather is already very hot and you are still covered in many layers, it's not good if you sweat a lot.
Don't wear single shoes too early.
As the saying goes, "illness starts from the feet." Now many young girls start wearing single shoes very early, which is very bad for their health. The feet and lower legs are the confluence of the three Yin meridians 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, which are very important for the human body. Therefore, it is important to keep them warm and not to wear single shoes too early.
Exercising on foggy days is not advisable.
With the arrival of spring, more and more people are joining the fitness craze, but exercising on foggy days is not advisable. Fog droplets contain a large amount of harmful substances such as dust and pathogenic microorganisms. During exercise, due to increased breathing, the lungs will inevitably inhale more harmful substances.
In conclusion: Although it is early spring now, the real spring has not yet arrived. At this time of seasonal transition, health preservation work should not be neglected.
