We have just experienced cold winter-like weather. In the past two days, Meizhou has ushered in fine weather and a good spring. However, people are often sleepy and lethargic and have difficulty concentrating. It is said that “the plan of the year lies in the spring”, and it is not good to yawn all day long. What should I do in spring?
In Meizhou Women’s and Children’s Hospital, a doctor from the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine introduced to reporters that “spring sleepiness” is not due to lack of sleep, nor is it a morbid state, but a “circadian clock shift”. due to physiological changes in the body. Therefore, you can’t sleep late when you are tired in spring, but go to bed late and get up early.
[Yu Hongchang, Director of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Meizhou Women’s and Children’s Hospital: In spring and summer, you can go to bed as early as possible after 10 o’clock and before 11 o’clock. Natural yang, try to get up as early as possible. It can be emphasized to get up at 6 o’clock. Of course, when the sun comes out in the case of heavy fog and high humidity, it used to emphasize that it was after 9 o’clock. Now the weather is good, it can be at 8 o’clock in the morning Good luck. ]
Chinese medicine believes that spring always feels lazy and powerless. The doctor told reporters that at this time, there are many benefits to stretching the waist more: “stretching the waist” can stretch the limbs, stretch the waist and stretch the abdomen, exert force on the muscles of the whole body, smooth the meridians and joints, and can relieve fatigue, refresh the mind, increase energy, and invigorate the spirit.

It is said that “spring covers autumn and freezes”, and it is a folk experience to reduce clothes when you are not busy in spring. But in the past two days, the maximum temperature in Meizhou has risen to more than 20 degrees, and the temperature difference between day and night is as much as 14 degrees. Everyone wears coats and coats in the morning and evening, but they take off their coats in the heat at noon. The doctor reminded that especially the elderly or people with weak health, they must do a good job of “covering the spring”, but not covering the sweat, but to increase or decrease clothes in a timely manner.
[Director Yu Hongchang: In spring, the temperature changes greatly. We should pay attention to the work of covering the spring.
