Introduction to the Health Care Function of Tomb-Sweeping Day Qi

First, Tomb-Sweeping Day gas health care

1, avoid anger

Spring is the time when the liver yang is excited, and the mood is irritable, so we should be open-minded and harmonious. Depression can lead to stagnation of liver qi, decreased immunity, and easily lead to psychosis, liver disease, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, etc.

2. Avoid jumping

The yang of the elderly is relatively insufficient, but spring is a good opportunity to raise yang. If lust is reckless and sexual intercourse is frequent, it will consume gas and damage the essence, further damaging the yang. Therefore, people, especially the elderly, should control their sexual desire in spring.

Step 3 avoid being quiet

In spring, the yang in nature begins to rise, and the human body should rely on this natural feature to focus on yang. The key to nourishing yang is "moving" and avoiding "quietness". People should actively exercise outdoors, but the elderly should not exercise too early in spring. They should go out to exercise after the sun rises. Drink hot water, milk, egg soup and other hot soup before exercise, and exercise slowly at the same time.

Step 4 avoid humidity

The bedroom should be ventilated at noon every day, bedding and clothes should be kept dry and breathable, and loose cotton-padded jacket should be worn in spring to avoid eczema. In addition, don't choose wet places to exercise, and dry them in time after sweating.

5, avoid acid

Spring diet should be "sour and sweet", because liver yang is hyperactive in spring. If you eat acidic food again, it will easily lead to excessive liver qi, and liver prosperity will easily damage the spleen and stomach. Therefore, the spring diet should avoid acid. Acidic foods include mutton, dog meat, quail, fried peanuts, fried melon seeds, marine fish, shrimps and crabs. It is advisable to eat sweet and spleen-strengthening products, such as yam, bamboo shoots, spinach, jujube and leek.

6. Avoid freezing

The climate in spring is hot and cold, so it is necessary to follow the theory of "spring covering", and it is not advisable to take off your cotton-padded clothes immediately. When changing clothes, we should follow the principle of "the lower thickness is thinner". First, cut down some coats and trousers later, so that the lower body is warmer than cold, which helps to nourish the yang. In particular, the elderly with chronic bronchitis and emphysema and young women with a history of dysmenorrhea should try their best to keep their bodies "neither frozen nor cold" in early spring.

Second, Tomb-Sweeping Day focuses on nourishing the liver.

Spring corresponds to the liver. Tomb-Sweeping Day should eat more "liver-softening" food, eat moderately, and give priority to tonic. Because it is the season of rising liver yang, you can eat more shepherd's purse, yam, spinach, leek, tremella, jujube and honey water.

Among the five internal organs, the liver is the spring of the season, which means that the liver plays a very important role in the human body in spring. The liver has the functions of expressing, regulating qi and letting your blood out.

The liver likes regulation, but hates depression, which means that the liver wants you to be happy, very happy.

During the Qingming period, human liver qi was the most vigorous. If the liver fire is too strong, it will have adverse effects on the spleen and stomach, hinder the normal digestion and absorption of food, and at the same time, it will cause emotional disorder and poor circulation of qi and blood, which will lead to various diseases. At the same time, during the Qingming period, it rained and the weather was humid, and all kinds of bacteria and viruses were more active.

Three, Tomb-Sweeping Day liver food:

honey

Honey is a sweet substance collected by bees from nectar of plants or honey dew oozing from plant cells, mixed with saliva secretion of bees, fully brewed and stored in honeycombs. More than 180 substances were detected in honey. The main components are monosaccharides such as glucose and fructose, which can account for more than 80% and are easily absorbed by the human body. In addition, there are various nutrients needed by the human body, which can produce a lot of calories and contain no fat. It is an excellent tonic and natural medicine.

Malanhead

Every time I go to Tomb-Sweeping Day, the special fragrance of Malantou is the most attractive. Malantou is pungent and slightly cold, and has the effects of clearing away heat and toxic materials, cooling blood to stop bleeding, promoting diuresis and reducing swelling. It can not only supplement vitamins and relieve spring sleepiness, but also be very effective for common sore throat in early spring. Malantou is the easiest to make, just mix with dried tofu and sprinkle with sesame oil.

Chinese yam

Yam can improve people's digestive function, enhance physical fitness, and at the same time benefit qi and spleen. Yam can also prevent cardiovascular diseases, maintain vascular elasticity and avoid arteriosclerosis. Eating more yam can avoid fat deposition.

edible white fungus

Tremella fuciformis is often used to make sweet soup, and it is a rare health-care medicine for promoting diuresis, nourishing blood and nourishing yin, strengthening brain and refreshing, beautifying and rejuvenating skin, tonifying kidney and replenishing essence.
