Why is there such a saying that it keeps out the cold, strengthens the yang and regulates the spleen and stomach?

Why is there such a statement? With the arrival of rain and solar terms, spring rain usually increases slowly, but if there is too much rain, it will also lead to excessive humidity. The most direct harm to human body is dampness blocking meridians, trapping spleen and stomach, leading to joint stiffness and pain, skin eczema, anorexia, diarrhea and other symptoms. Therefore, it is necessary to focus on maintaining the spleen before and after the rain, and pay attention to strengthening the spleen and eliminating dampness. At the same time, the diet around the Spring Festival is also easy to cause flatulence and stomachache, and greasy foods such as sweets, meat and nuts and drinking alcohol are easy to induce spleen and stomach diseases.

2. In terms of diet conditioning, we should eat less cold and sticky food, less alcohol and tobacco, avoid rough, hard, sour, spicy and other irritating foods, and avoid overeating or hunger disorder and irregular diet. In terms of emotional harmony, spring is full of liver fire, so it is necessary to control temper and keep a calm mind so as not to disturb the heart fire, cause excessive liver fire and cause discomfort such as getting angry. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the liver governs qi, and poor liver qi can easily lead to spleen deficiency. Relax and have fun at ordinary times. Moistened by the spring rain, the hills were wet, the water level rose, grass crawled out of the soil, trees began to sprout, agricultural machinery and so on.

3. Reserve agricultural materials for spring ploughing to cope with the coming spring ploughing production. After beginning of spring, the yang gradually rises, but at the same time, the human body's resistance will inevitably decline after winter, and the resistance to wind-cold pathogens will also decline, so it is easy to be affected by pathogens and cause diseases. At this time, the appropriate "spring cover" is conducive to disease prevention. The key point of rainwater health care should be to regulate the spleen and stomach. "Spleen and stomach are the foundation of the day after tomorrow." There is more precipitation in rainy season, and the spleen and stomach can transport water and dampness at the same time. At this time, if the spleen and stomach are well conditioned, you can get rid of some negative effects of rain on the human body.

4. At the same time, liver qi is strong in spring, and liver wood is easy to stimulate spleen soil. Improper health care in spring will also lead to the damage and decline of spleen and stomach function. Some people are thirsty and get angry because of wind noise, poor diet and other reasons. Coupled with exogenous cold, it will lead to a high incidence of colds, influenza and allergies. Therefore, if your tongue is dry, you should eat more fresh vegetables and juicy fruits to replenish your body's water. You can eat more fruits and vegetables and soup porridge, such as gouqi porridge and tremella porridge. And you can also use white chrysanthemum, cassia seed, American ginseng and other soaking water to drink.
