Solar terms for health preservation and disease prevention

Time flies, the annual Tomb-Sweeping Day has a long history in China, also known as ancestor worship festival, outing festival and so on. And advocate grave sweeping and outing. For middle-aged and elderly people, the focus of health care during the Qingming period is to prevent diseases.

Keep warm:

Professor Wu Weicheng from the Affiliated Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Guangzhou Medical University believes that it is necessary to keep warm during Qingming period. There is a folk proverb in China: "Dressing in disorder in February" refers to the lunar calendar, that is, around Tomb-Sweeping Day, the temperature in the whole country is hot and cold. If you don't pay attention to increasing or decreasing clothes in time, you will easily catch cold from the wind.

Especially for middle-aged and elderly people with chronic diseases, the temperature difference between morning and evening is still relatively large. If you have the habit of doing morning exercises, you must wear more clothes, otherwise the blood vessels will be stimulated by cold air, which will easily contract the blood vessels and even increase the occurrence of myocardial infarction.

It's sunny at noon, so don't cover it too tightly. Just cut down on clothes appropriately.

Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables;

In fact, the focus of every solar term is diet, especially fresh vegetables and fruits, including seasonal foods in spring, shepherd's purse, wormwood, toon, celery, bitter chrysanthemum, strawberry, sugarcane, loquat and orange.

Ensuring 200~350g of fruits and 350~500g of vegetables every day is very beneficial for strengthening yang, enhancing immunity, resisting virus and relieving spring sleepiness. However, people with bad stomachs should be vigilant. If you have symptoms such as diarrhea, bloating, nausea and vomiting after eating cold food every time, you should avoid drinking cold drinks and eating cold food.

Drink plenty of water:

In spring, the skin is dry and the body loses water easily. At this time, the key point is to replenish water according to the needs of the body, which can not only moisturize the skin but also help the body's metabolism.

However, we should note that the best choice of water resources is boiled water, pure water, mineral water, tea and so on. It is not recommended to drink soft drinks such as fruit juice and carbonated drinks, which will only increase the burden of metabolism and is not conducive to the health of the spleen, stomach and liver.

Reduce sedentary and long standing:

In recent years, there are more and more people with lumbar muscle strain, and the patents of middle-aged and elderly people have gradually become high-risk diseases for young people. Instead of this static way of keeping in good health, I suggest you pay attention to exercise. Tomb-Sweeping Day is also an outing festival to fully feel the charm of nature.

Enjoy bathing in the sun every day, walking in the park, having a picnic and doing exercise are all good ways to improve your immunity, protect your liver and protect your skin.

Reduce contact with allergic substances:

Because everyone's physique is different, the corresponding allergic substances are also very different. Some people may be allergic to mangoes, while others may be allergic to mugwort.

Tomb-Sweeping Day is also the season of pollen transmission, so allergic people with special constitution must take preventive measures when they go out to avoid increasing the probability of attack and enjoy the scenery like spring all year round.
