Health culture in 24 solar terms.

At the vernal equinox, the weather is sunny, the spring breeze blows, the grass begins to grow, the flowers begin to grow tender, and everything is so beautiful. So, do you know how to keep fit during the vernal equinox and solar terms? Next, let's look at the health culture in the vernal equinox with the old calendar!

How to keep healthy at the vernal equinox

Health care Because the vernal equinox and solar terms divide day and night equally, people should pay attention to maintaining the balance of yin and yang in health care. Su Wenzhi's Theory of Truth: "Look at the position of Yin and Yang carefully and adjust it to make it equal." That is to say, the human body should coordinate the physiological movements of viscera, qi and blood and essence with the external movements of brain, physical strength and exercise, and maintain the balance between supply and demand. To avoid inappropriate exercise, it will destroy the balance of the internal and external environment of the human body, accelerate the damage of some organs and the imbalance of physiological functions, and then cause diseases and shorten people's life.

Su Wen Gu Kong Lun: "Adjust its yin and yang, if it is insufficient, it will be supplemented, and if it is excessive, it will be diarrhea." Traditional diet and traditional Chinese medicine treatment can be summarized as tonifying deficiency and purging excess. Such as benefiting qi and nourishing blood, nourishing yin and strengthening yang, filling essence, promoting fluid production and tonifying deficiency; Relieving exterior syndrome, clearing away heat, promoting diuresis, purging, dispelling cold, expelling wind and drying dampness can be regarded as diarrhea. The practice of TCM health preservation proves that no matter tonic or diarrhea, we must insist on adjusting yin and yang and carry out scientific diet and health care, so as to effectively prevent and treat many non-communicable diseases.

The period from beginning of spring solar term to Tomb-Sweeping Day gas is the budding period of vegetation growth, and the human blood is also in a vigorous period, and the hormone level is also at a relative peak. At this time, the common non-communicable diseases that are prone to occur are hypertension, menstrual disorders, hemorrhoids, allergic diseases and so on.

In traditional medicine, the vernal equinox regimen has the saying that it is easy to have diarrhea in the morning. The vernal equinox is supposed to be a period of balance between yin and yang, but the constitution of yang deficiency is too weak to balance with yin, so the essence of yang deficiency is more easily revealed, so the diarrhea of five shifts, also known as cock crow diarrhea, often occurs, which is manifested as meal diarrhea, that is, diarrhea that does not melt after eating five grains. Those with white tongue coating, weak pulse, chills and chills below the waist can take Fuzi Lizhong Pill or Jinbian Shenqi Pill to warm the middle and support the yang. Usually, you can often use dried ginger stew soup or eat dried ginger stew chicken soup.

Live a healthy life

Early to bed and early to rise should nourish the liver.

Huangdi Neijing said: "In the spring of March, this is called Chen Zhisheng, the world is born, and everything is glorious. He lies at night and gets up early, striding to court and being delayed, so as to live, live without killing, give without taking, reward without punishment. This is the answer of spring and the way of health preservation. After the vernal equinox, nature is full of vitality and everything is thriving. At this time, people should go to bed early and get up early, go for a walk in the morning and relax themselves so that their emotions will not be violated by spring, which is also a health preservation method to adapt to spring.

Don't cut down on winter clothes too early.

"No clothes in spring, no hats in autumn". After the vernal equinox, the temperature in some areas has not warmed up, so don't throw away your winter clothes too early. After wearing cotton-padded clothes for several months in winter, the regulation of body heat production and radiation is in a relatively balanced state with the environmental temperature in winter. From winter to early spring, it is warm and cold, and the temperature changes greatly. If you take off your winter clothes too early, it will be difficult to adapt once the temperature drops, which will reduce your body's resistance. Bacteria attack the body, which is easy to cause various respiratory diseases and infectious diseases in winter and spring.

Open more windows and ventilate frequently.

As soon as the weather changed from cold to warm in early spring, all kinds of pathogenic bacteria and viruses grew and multiplied. In order to avoid the occurrence of various diseases in spring, preventive measures are essential. "In home life, we should pay attention to opening windows frequently to make indoor air circulate and keep the air fresh". Around 8 am, the temperature is generally low and the air quality is good, which is a good time to open the window for ventilation. In addition, the bedroom should be ventilated at least after a nap and before going to bed at night.
