Rainwater health points

First, pay attention to the prevention of diseases caused by spring cold

Meteorological meteorologists explain that the warm winter climate makes the earth evaporate fast, the climate has become abnormally dry, the human body is prone to dry mouth and tongue, sore throat, nosebleeds, eye astringency, dry skin and itchy symptoms, coupled with a dry climate, will greatly weaken the upper respiratory tract of the human body. Will greatly weaken the body's upper respiratory defense function, thus inducing a variety of respiratory diseases, such as influenza, pneumonia, asthma and so on. The cold and hot climate is also easy to make children suffer from "spring cold" pain, infected with whooping cough, measles, scarlet fever and other diseases.

Health experts reminded, during the rain to pay attention to the "spring cold" phenomenon. After the rain, the moisture in the air increases, resulting in temperatures not only low, but also cold in the wet. This wet cold climate on the human body internal organs and joints have a certain impact. Therefore, the public should pay attention to physical health care to avoid inviting diseases at this time.

It should be reminded that the public should not lose their outerwear too early, and should cover up for a period of time, in order to slowly adjust the body's balance of yin and yang, and adapt to the new climatic conditions. Due to the spring influx, the body is hot people easy to sweat, this time to take off the clothes easy to catch a cold, do not reduce the clothes hot and stuffy. Nutrition experts suggest that people with body heat can go out with one more lightweight clothes to avoid catching a cold. "Because the spring body heat leakage, dampness and cold exchange in the internal, easy to hurt bones and joints to disease. Especially some young people, self reliance on good health, but do not realize that these diseases will always be latent in the body, the old age when the accumulation of the outbreak."

Second, for the elderly and frail, spring should not use cold water

According to the Chinese doctrine of the five elements, water corresponds to the kidneys, the kidneys main bone. Although there is a saying on the health road that washing your face with cold water all year round can play a role in health care. But in the rainy season, the old and weak, if you use cold water to wash your face, wash your hands, wet and cold is easy to invade the joints, coupled with the lack of sufficient yang qi to drive cold in the outside, wet and cold stagnation in the hands, it is easy to ache and pain, heavy deformation, wet and cold stagnation in the head of the head is prone to pain and other symptoms.

In addition, in the spring period, wet and cold still exists, after washing the hair should be timely with the wind dryer. Otherwise, the water wet stay in the hair and then become cool, it is easy to make the wet cold gathered in the head, from the surface and deep into the skull, resulting in a headache. Especially after washing the head to rush out, the hair is not dry and cold wind blowing, it is easy to appear "migraine" symptoms.

Third, the warm and humid weather attention to the spleen and stomach stagnation

rainy season, health should be emphasized "nourish the spleen and stomach". According to Chinese medicine, the spleen and stomach for the "nature of this", "the source of qi and blood biochemistry", the strength of the spleen and stomach is an important factor in determining the life and death of a person.

According to health experts, the five elements of the doctrine of the physiological function of the five organs of the human body is explained: the liver is wood, wood can be curved straight, smooth and up to the article, the characteristics of the hair, so "liver like up to the evil of depression", there is a function of excretion. Spleen (stomach) is earth, earthy and thick, with the characteristics of biochemical everything, the spleen and digestion of water and grain, transport essence, nutritional organs, limbs and bones of the efficacy of qi and blood biochemical source. That is to say, due to the liver wood too much excretion, the spleen and stomach because of the gas deficiency; if the liver gas is too much, the spleen and stomach because of the stagnation. Both of them are liver wood and spleen earth. Therefore, the spring health should pay attention to the characteristics of spring Yang Qi, help Yang Qi, but also to avoid injury to the spleen and stomach.

In traditional Chinese medicine, the spleen and stomach are beneficial to the efficacy of gas and blood. The material basis of the human body's functional activities, gas, blood, fluid, etc. are born in the spleen and stomach. Spleen and stomach healthy, the source of adequate, visceral functions can be strong; spleen and stomach is the pivot of the movement of gas lift, spleen and stomach coordination, can promote and regulate the body's metabolism, to ensure the coordination and balance of life activities. How to coordinate the spleen and stomach? In addition to maintaining a certain amount of exercise, dietary adjustments are important.

First of all usually drink as much warm water as possible. Some people are prone to the so-called fire symptoms in the spring, should not easily drink herbal tea, so as not to lead to the virtual fire even more. In addition, pay attention to food cleaning and preservation, to avoid problems such as diarrhea. This is not a time to blindly tonic, to avoid helping the sun leakage, liver wood is too much, grams hurt the spleen earth, while avoiding the fat and sweet taste nourishing the spleen and stomach, liver depression and spleen deficiency, the spleen is not healthy, resulting in water and moisture do not melt, gather moisture and phlegm, and promote the stagnation of dampness, resulting in a series of spleen and stomach problems.

Fourth, the diet to flatness is appropriate

rainy season climate warming, but also windy and dry, often dry mouth, dry lips and other phenomena, so you should eat more fresh vegetables, juicy fruits to replenish the body's moisture. As the spring for the beginning of the beginning of all living things, Yang Qi hair over the season, should eat less greasy things, so as not to help Yang leakage. Therefore, the spring diet should eat less sour, eat more sweet, in order to nourish the spleen. You can choose leeks, parsnips, lilies, pea shoots, Chrysanthemum coronarium, chestnuts, spring bamboo shoots, yams, lotus root, taro, radish, water chestnuts, sugar cane and so on.

The food is suitable for flatness. "Inverted spring cold" is easy to make the internal organs of the person depressed heat, so it is not advisable to eat hot food "on the fire". Depression heat makes people "greedy cold", too much food cold, and will be "the same gas" so that the wet and cold injury to the internal organs, resulting in stomach cold, cold stomach, diarrhea and other symptoms of imbalance. Therefore, the diet to keep the middle, eat hot food, hot food, be careful to eat chili, white wine and other warm, hot food is appropriate.

As the spring for the beginning of the beginning of the birth of all things, Yang Qi hair over the season, this time you can eat more jujubes, Chinese mountains, lotus seeds, leeks, spinach, citrus, honey, sugarcane and other foods, but to avoid helping the sun leakage, otherwise the liver and wood is too much will be grams hurt the spleen and earth.

In addition, this festival to porridge is good, such as lotus seed congee, congee, congee, red date porridge, etc., of course, the Guangdong people's dietary therapy is mostly based on soup, which is also a good choice, such as monkey head mushrooms boiled in fresh chicken soup, cloud linghuaiyama boiled in lean pork soup, spinach rolled sliced beef soup, huaiyama Beiqiqi pig transverse tongue soup, etc., and the stomach to nourish the spleen of the soup has a stewed duck with winter wormwood and summer grass, eyebrow bean peanut stewed chicken feet, goji huaiyama stewed pig pen meat, etc..

According to the introduction, the use of Chinese herbs to nourish should take into account the characteristics of the function of the spleen and stomach, such as the method of generating yang qi to tonify the spleen and stomach, you can use American ginseng, salvia, cassia seeds, white chrysanthemums and so on. During the rainy season, the body's liver yang, liver fire, liver wind will rise with the spring yang qi, so more attention should be paid to the liver qi of the venting and organizing.

Weather changes during the rainy season

The rainy season means spring in the meteorological sense. After the "rain", most of China's temperature rebounded to above 0 ℃, the Huanghuai Plain average daily temperature has reached about 3 ℃, Jiangnan average temperature of 5 ℃, South China temperature above 10 ℃, while the average temperature in North China is still below 0 ℃. Before and after the rain, oilseed rape, winter wheat generally return to the green growth, the water requirements are higher. "

Spring rain is as expensive as oil", this time the appropriate precipitation is particularly important for the growth of crops. And North China, Northwest China and the Huanghuai region at this time precipitation is generally less, often can not meet the needs of agricultural production. If the early spring less rain, rain before and after the timely spring irrigation, can achieve the best economic benefits.

South of the Huaihe River, to strengthen the plow hoeing is the main, at the same time, to do a good job of field clearing ditch leaching, in order to prevent too much rain in the spring, resulting in wet damage to the roots. As the saying goes: "wheat watering buds, vegetables watering flowers", the moss of rape should be timely application of moss flower fertilizer, in order to fight for pods more grain weight. South China's double-season early rice seedlings have begun, should pay attention to seize the "cold tail warm head", grab clear sowing, and strive to a sowing full seedling.
