The beginning of spring is the time when everything recovers, the temperature rises, and the temperature difference between morning and evening becomes larger. Between “cold and warm”, it is most likely to get sick. In this season, don’t forget the classic health-preserving rule of “spring cover and autumn freeze”. “Spring and Autumn Frozen” contains the essence of seasonal health preservation, which is also the simplest embodiment of “harmony between man and nature”. From winter to spring, the yang qi gradually grows, but the cold of winter has not completely receded. At this time, if you change into thin clothes too early, you will get cold and hurt the yang qi, and at the same time, the skin will be blocked and the yang qi will be affected. Therefore, proper “covering” in spring can help the body’s yang to grow smoothly. In addition, if you take off the cotton-padded clothes too early, once the temperature drops, it will be difficult to adapt, which will reduce the body’s resistance, and evil spirits will take advantage of the weakness, which will easily lead to various respiratory diseases and infectious diseases in winter and spring.
These four parts should be “covered” the most
Head and neck: the head is the meeting of all the yang, the human body’s meridians mostly converge on the head, The body is not protected, just like a thermos without a lid, the yang energy in the body is most likely to dissipate; the neck supports the head and the torso below, which can be called the fortress of the human body. A cold neck can cause local vasoconstriction, reduce blood flow velocity, and even induce dizziness, insufficient blood supply to the brain and other discomforts.
Feet: Cold starts from the feet, the blood circulation of the lower body of the human body is worse than that of the upper body, and it is easy to be attacked by wind and cold. Wearing short skirts, ripped jeans, and exposed ankles too early can increase the chance of developing arthritis or various gynecological diseases.
Abdomen: Too low abdominal temperature can lead to gastrointestinal diseases, gynecological diseases, and male reproductive system diseases. Therefore, keeping the abdomen warm is a good way to protect the stomach, spleen, and intestines, and prevent indigestion and diarrhea.
Back: The back is the sea of the Du meridian and the sea of yang meridians. It is a place where yang qi gathers. Keeping the back warm can prevent diseases and reduce the probability of colds; if the back is cold, it is easy to lack yang qi. , hinder the rise of yang.
