Climate change in spring, China pharmacists teach you "three-pronged approach" to health care.

Although the climate has changed, the movement of the earth at four o'clock is still different. On the occasion of the vernal equinox, Hu, a pharmacist at the Chinese Medicine Bureau of the Department of Pharmacy, Taichung Tzu Chi Hospital, reminded that many diseases can be avoided or alleviated by learning to adapt to the four-season climate change, relaxing the mood and keeping in good health with tea in time.

Spring begins in beginning of spring in the lunar calendar, lasts for three months and lasts for six solar terms, including rain, sting, vernal equinox, Qingming and rain between February and April in the lunar calendar. The vernal equinox is already the fourth solar term. Nonsense, pharmacologically speaking, spring is the season when everything recovers, and the human body should also adapt to this season to unify the body with the outside world. He analyzed that the climate change in Taiwan Province Province in spring is very great. When it's cold and warm, the body's resistance to cold evil will decrease. The ability to cope with climate change can usually be improved from three aspects: work and rest, exercise and diet.

Hu reminded that in addition to taking care of the elders, it is not appropriate to change thick clothes too early in spring; Go to bed and get up early as possible. After the sun comes out in the morning, you can do appropriate outdoor activities and stretch your muscles. During exercise, spring outing, such as walking, jogging and tai chi, can help the body adapt to the rhythm of spring in relaxation.

The natural attribute in the traditional culture of nourishing liver and keeping healthy in spring belongs to wood; The human body has five elements, and the liver belongs to wood. Hu added that Chinese medicine practitioners are also used to nourishing and protecting the liver in spring. "In the theoretical system of traditional Chinese medicine, the command at four o'clock is beginning of spring, and the liver governs discouragement, which is the officer of the general. He likes everything, hates depression, and anger hurts his liver. Therefore, the most important thing to nourish the liver is to recuperate emotions and qi. "He explained that the key to regulating mood is to keep cheerful, not to be depressed or angry, not to be anxious, angry or angry as much as possible, to maintain optimistic mood and regulate the qi of the liver.

Nonsense, in spring, human metabolism begins to flourish. It is best to choose flat, sweet and lukewarm foods, avoid greasy and cold foods, and eat more foods rich in vitamin B and fresh vegetables. He said that modern medical research believes that overeating and lack of vitamin B are one of the reasons for sleepiness in spring. Liver-qi is strong in spring, so eating more acidic food will make liver-fire stronger and damage the spleen and stomach. Therefore, we should eat more sweets rich in protein, sugar, vitamins and minerals, such as milk, honey, bean products, fresh vegetables, yam, coix seed, red dates, fungus and so on.
