“The Secret of Inner Alchemy” once said: “The moon in spring, yin and yang, come together, It is like the yang fire in the body is half and half, and the climate is evenly stopped.”
meaning that when the spring runs to the middle part, the yin qi assists The yang qi gathers out from the environment, so half of the yang qi in the body is filled, and the climate is relatively stable at this time.
But at this time, although the inside and outside are the same, it is more stable than winter and summer, but this stability is relatively fragile, and the balance of yin and yang in the environment For some people, not only is it not a happy event, it will also trigger some adverse reactions in the body.
Beauty in spring in March
“In the early morning and evening in spring, you need to think about it, and you must not be lazy. If you expose it to ten colds, you will be effective.” – “Zunsheng Eight Notes”
Spring is bright and sunny. During this season, everyone must feel the trend of increasingly bright weather and temperature gradually rising. At this time, it has been quietly over half. As we all know, spring is the phase of wood, and the prosperity of wood is good for the liver, so spring is the most suitable time to nourish the liver and the most suitable time to protect the liver. Here, here are some tips for nourishing the liver in two ways:
folding hands to shoulders and turning around to nourish the liver:
” The liver is weighted with both hands, pressing on the shoulders, slowly pouting the body, three times on the left and right.” – “Zunsheng Bajian·Liver Guidance”
means when nourishing the liver, overlap your hands and press them on one shoulder, and then slowly stand up and turn to the side where the shoulders are pressed, and do three times each on the left and right sides. The advantage is that it is simple and easy to learn, and it is also convenient to operate in time at work or in the bus and subway.
Hands-to-chest rollover:
< span>“You can also sit upright, with your hands crossed, and turn over to your chest three or five times.” – “Zunsheng Bajian·Liver Guidance”means in addition to the above operations , you can also choose to sit still, straighten your arms to cross your hands, and then turn it over and back and forth to your chest three or five times.
Although the above two methods are simple, they also need to remind themselves to operate every day. Don’t be slack, so that you can only be effective if you expose yourself to ten colds.” As the earth advises, the spring sun is coming early, you need to think about the day’s plan every moment, and you can’t let yourself be slack. If you keep training every day, you will be effective.
Eat in spring in March
“When spring comes, it is better to reduce acidity and increase sweetness to nourish one’s temper” – “Qian Jin Fang”
Sun Simiao once warned us in his health book “Qian Jin Fang” that we should pay attention to the spring diet. In the spring diet, we should reduce the intake of acidic foods and increase the intake of sweet foods. Enter, in order to recuperate the breath of the spleen and stomach.
But spring is the time when the liver is prosperous, and the liver is naturally sour. Fang” is admonished to “reduce acid and increase sweetness”?
The reason is that the liver is already prosperous in the spring, and the demand of the liver reaches its peak at this time. Usually people will follow the meaning of the liver at this time. Consuming acidic foods happens to be a problem with this “adaptation”, because once too much acid is consumed, it will not only not protect the liver, but will also harm other organs that are afraid of acid.
Once you don’t know this situation, not only will you not maintain the liver in the spring, but it will have an adverse effect on the maintenance of the liver, which is not worth the loss.
Therefore, I would like to remind everyone to pay attention to diet and health in spring:
“The fusion of spring, you can’t sit still to make others feel depressed.” means that the sun is shining in spring, and the human body should mobilize its own operation in accordance with the seasons and current events. , instead of sitting up suddenly, disturbing itself and causing the body to swell.
“Don’t drink too much.”Spring is a woody sign, and wood should be nourished Liver, in the season when it should be the most caring for the liver, all drinkers, please drink less for the health of your liver.
“Rice dough cakes made by others are more injurious to the spleen and stomach, and are the most difficult to digest. You must not eat too much on a hungry stomach, so as to have a quick bite. ”Spring brings together, the liver is prosperous and the spleen is weak, so for some glutinous rice products and other rice noodle foods, you must not indulge in eating and drinking because of temporary hunger. It is the most difficult to digest and the most irritating to the spleen and stomach.
“Remember to reduce acid and increase sweetness.”Returning to the above, remember to eat less bitterness in spring Add more sweetness, so that the days in the future will be sweet and happy.
After talking about the health precautions in spring, let’s talk about the best seasonal vegetables that can be supplemented in spring.
