How to adapt to the changes of the four seasons to keep fit?

Spring grows in summer and autumn harvests in winter, which is the true meaning of health preservation. Chinese medicine believes that harmony between man and nature, unity of form and spirit, and adaptation to the changes of the 24 solar terms will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. Nourishing yang in spring and summer and nourishing yin in autumn and winter is the general principle of health care put forward by China ancient physicians according to the influence of the changes of natural seasons on human viscera and qi and blood functions.

Our current official solar term is the period of fright, that is, all kinds of hibernating animals are going out for activities, and everything is restored. Health preservation is very important at this time.

First of all, go to bed early and get up early to recuperate your body and mind. Because the yang has not reached its peak in spring, you should go to bed early at night, so that the yang will converge. In the morning, the yang will emerge from the yin and gradually rise, so you should get up with the sunrise, which can effectively prevent hypertension, cerebral infarction and myocardial infarction. It can also reduce the occurrence and aggravation of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, as well as diseases related to liver-qi discomfort, such as depression and spleen-stomach diseases.

Secondly, a suitable spring cover. We often hear old people talk about shielding from the cold in spring. This is based on science. Spring covering means that in spring, don't take off your winter clothes in a hurry, cover up the heat of your body and ensure the internal environment in which the sun is the spirit. The sun just doesn't rise in spring, and the cold and warm climate is changeable. The human body must have the ability to cope with this changeable climate. The elderly should pay special attention to the warmth of hands, face, mouth and nose to avoid cold hands and feet.

Third, moderate exercise can enhance physical fitness. The plan of the year lies in spring, which is a good time for everything to sprout and the grass to bloom. It is also the golden season for physical exercise and physical fitness. Winter brings us not only cold, but also stiff bodies. For example, the function of visceral muscles is at a low level, and bones and ligaments are prone to sports injuries. Therefore, spring is suitable for some aerobic outdoor activities such as playing Tai Ji Chuan, doing aerobics, flying kites, hiking and so on, which can effectively enhance the body's immunity and disease resistance.

Fourth, ventilation and disease prevention. Spring is also an active season for all kinds of viruses and bacteria. At this time, we should pay attention to scientific diet and daily life, and often open windows and ventilate indoors to reduce and inhibit the survival and reproduction of the virus.
