Spring equinox and solar terms regimen

1, nourishing liver and detoxifying. Spring should be in the liver, summer should be in the heart, long summer should be in the spleen, autumn should be in the lungs, winter should be in the kidney, so spring should be based on nourishing the liver. The purpose of nourishing the liver in spring is to coordinate the balance of yin and yang in the liver. In Chinese medicine, sweets can nourish the spleen and stomach, and jujube and yam are good choices. Alcohol hurts the liver and intestines, so it is not advisable to drink alcohol in spring. Chrysanthemum tea, honeysuckle and even boiled water are the best drinks in spring.

2. Eat more seasonal dishes. More than 2,000 years ago, Confucius warned us that "we should not eat at times", that is, we should not eat fruits and vegetables unless it is this season. Seasonal dishes are also "luck dishes". Food should pay attention to "qi" and "taste". Because food and medicine are made up of smells, and the smells of drugs and food can only be refined when they are in season, that is, when they grow up and conform to the solar terms. Spring seasonal dishes include leeks that nourish yin and strengthen yang; Bean sprouts, lettuce, onions, bean sprouts, garlic sprouts; Late spring fruits that nourish the liver and moisten the lungs, such as strawberries, plums, apricots, plums, mulberries and cherries.

3. Give your stomach a holiday. People's intestines and stomach also need rest. Rice is eaten in the stomach. Except for the stomach, many organs of the human body have to be busy with it, and even the brain has to give in three points. First, we must ensure that qi and blood meet the needs of the stomach. This is why the brain will fall asleep after eating. If we can give our intestines and stomach a rest day every week, it can effectively help us expel toxins accumulated in our bodies. Eat only two meals in the morning and evening on weekends, or replace one meal with porridge, fruit and honey water to reduce the gastrointestinal load.
