What should we pay attention to in solar terms?

Frightening solar terms are the third of the 24 solar terms. The characteristics of the shocking solar terms, the sudden spring thunder and the vitality of everything mean that spring has really come. In spring, the liver should respond to qi. At this time, the yang of the human body is gradually increasing, so it is necessary to conform to the nature of the liver, help the temper and reconcile the five internal organs.

1, daily life

In the season of fright, it is warm and cold at first sight. The temperature difference between day and night is large, so clothes should be adjusted according to the temperature. People with weak constitution should not take off their winter clothes in a hurry. Keep warm to avoid catching a cold. Some elderly people with poor joints should pay attention to joint protection to avoid the invasion of cold. After the shock, the climate is getting warmer and warmer, and people are easy to feel tired and sleepy. According to the saying "Yang in spring and summer, Yin in autumn and winter", people should form the habit of going to bed early and getting up early to ensure adequate sleep. Thereby protecting the yang of the human body.

Step 2 prescribe diet

The food should be light. You can eat some fresh vegetables such as yam, leek, spinach and bamboo shoots, and some high-quality protein such as eggs and milk to promote metabolism, and eat less animal fat and some spicy and irritating products. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the liver belongs to wood in the five elements, and the five flavors of the liver are sour and the five flavors of the spleen are sweet. According to the law that the five elements resist each other, the hyperactivity of the liver is easy to damage the spleen, so the food should be sour and sweet to nourish the spleen and regulate the function of the spleen and stomach. Moreover, sour taste has astringent effect, which is not conducive to the rise of yang and the release of liver qi. After the shock, bacteria and viruses became active. People should protect their gastrointestinal tract, often eat fresh ingredients, and eat less or no overnight dishes and leftovers.

Step 3 exercise

The weather is warm, so you can go out for exercise, such as walking, jogging and Tai Ji Chuan. Don't work too hard, just sweat a little. Be sure to bask in the sun and breathe fresh air every day, so as to maintain the body's yang and enhance the body's disease resistance.

4. Emotion

Pay attention to the aftercare of the liver, which corresponds to spring, and the physiological characteristics of the liver are that it likes everything and hates depression. Therefore, we should always maintain a cheerful mood, avoid excessive anxiety, prevent stagnation of liver-qi, avoid excessive emotions, prevent excessive liver-qi rising, make qi flow smoothly, and reduce the adverse effects of emotions on the human body. Prevent diseases caused by emotional factors, such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and maintain optimism, stability and harmony between qi and blood.

5. Prevention

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that after experiencing the fright of "keeping healthy qi inside, evil can't be done", the weather gets warmer and everything recovers. To prevent some infectious diseases, such as chicken pox and flu, we should advocate paying attention to hygiene, washing hands frequently, ventilating frequently, disinfecting frequently, wearing masks and maintaining good personal hygiene habits. Go to crowded places as little as possible to reduce the chance of infection. Avoid overwork, combine work and rest, eat reasonably, live regularly, do not rush ahead, adapt to the different changes of natural climate, and achieve harmony between man and nature.
