Nourishing liver and removing dampness, keeping warm and enriching blood, benefiting qi in the morning and evening, and doing well in Grain Rain's health preservation.
There is a way to go with nature. We consulted Dr. Fu, Deputy Director of Chinese Medicine Department of Hangzhou First People's Hospital. He introduced that in Grain Rain season, the air humidity gradually increases and the temperature rises. At this time, it is necessary to selectively adjust according to the climate characteristics, so as to nourish the liver, eliminate dampness, keep warm and replenish blood.
"According to the viewpoint of Chinese medicine' nourishing liver in spring', Grain Rain should pay special attention to nourishing liver before and after, and seize the opportunity to regulate liver blood." Fu Shuo, the first thing to nourish the liver is to sleep soundly. Modern medical research has confirmed that the blood flowing into the liver during sleep is seven times that when standing. By increasing the blood flow of the liver, it is beneficial to enhance the function of hepatocytes, nourish and protect the liver, improve the detoxification ability of the liver, accelerate the metabolism of nutrients and the discharge of accumulated toxins in the body, thus maintaining the stability of the internal environment of the body. If you want to "sleep soundly", you must "stay up late and get up early" and form a good regular schedule. In addition, maintaining an optimistic and open-minded attitude is also essential for liver health care. Listening to music, fishing, spring outing and playing Tai Chi are all good choices to relax.
"The seasonal temperature in Grain Rain rises, and the internal heat accumulated in the body in spring is easily converted into liver fire with the rise of yang, resulting in symptoms such as redness, swelling, pain and oral ulcer." Fu mentioned that spinach is the most suitable vegetable for dietotherapy and liver nourishing. "Chinese medicine believes that spinach is sweet and cool, and has the effects of enriching blood and stopping bleeding, benefiting the five internal organs, nourishing yin and calming the liver, helping digestion and clearing the stomach. In addition, you can eat more nourishing foods, such as watermelons, bananas, apples, mulberries, pears and other fruits, or vegetables or seafood such as tomatoes, cucumbers, bitter gourd, bracken, purslane, seaweed and kelp. "
Grain Rain, with too much rain and humid weather, ordinary people are easily annoyed by this kind of weather, and people with rheumatism and osteopathy will suffer at this time. For this kind of people, first of all, we should avoid staying in the wetland for a long time, and people who often come into contact with water should strengthen waterproof measures, such as wearing shoes and gloves. In addition, the diet should be based on the principle of invigorating the spleen and eliminating dampness, and avoid eating cold and greasy things, so as not to further damage the spleen and stomach and aggravate water retention in the body.
"This period of time is a transitional season from cold spring to hot summer. There is a great temperature difference between morning and evening. Pay attention to increasing or decreasing clothes when going out, not only to keep warm, but also to prevent colds due to excessive sweating and undressing, especially after sweating, which is very important for joint maintenance and even the whole health. "
Finally, regarding nourishing blood and benefiting qi, Fu said that in Grain Rain season, the digestive function of human body is in a vigorous period, which is a good opportunity to replenish the body. You can eat some foods with the effect of enriching blood and benefiting qi properly, which can not only improve your physical fitness, but also lay the foundation for surviving the midsummer. "You can consider eating steamed eel segments and eel segments with the effects of expelling wind and removing dampness, relaxing tendons and activating collaterals, warming and nourishing qi and blood, as well as straw mushroom bean curd soup and raw duck egg soup with the effects of nourishing yin and nourishing stomach, lowering blood pressure and regulating fat, resisting bacteria and diminishing inflammation, clearing away heat and toxic materials, nourishing blood and moistening dryness."
