Spring health preservation news

In the third month of spring, this is called "Fa Zhen". Both heaven and earth come to life, and all things thrive. People go to bed at night and get up early, walk widely in the courtyard, and walk slowly with their hair on, to inspire their will. Live but do not kill, give but do not take, reward but do not punish. This is the essence of nourishing qi and the way to maintain health. Going against it will harm the liver. The liver wood has a sour taste. Wood can overcome earth, and earth belongs to the spleen and governs sweetness. When spring comes, it is advisable to reduce sour flavors and increase sweet ones to nourish the spleen. As the spring sun rises and all things sprout, in the middle of February, the temperature fluctuates between cold and hot. Elderly people often suffer from chronic diseases. When the spring energy attacks them, their spirits become drowsy and their chronic illnesses are triggered. Also, in winter, people gather in the stove to smoke their clothes, 啗 to cook and 煿 to accumulate, which is released in spring. Fever, dizziness, epidemic cough, fatigue in the limbs, and weakness in the waist and feet are all diseases accumulated during winter. They often manifest as symptoms of the body. If one feels a slight tremor, one should not immediately take laxative medicine, as it may harm the internal organs and cause other diseases. Only by using a gentle breeze, qi, cooling the diaphragm and phlegm-resolving agent, or by choosing a food treatment formula that is slightly cool in nature, it promotes digestion and regulates the body to achieve natural smoothness. If there are no symptoms of illness, there is no need to take medicine. In the warm spring days, one should gaze at the gardens and pavilions, and in the open Spaces, use 摅 to hold back one's mind and let the vitality flow freely. Do not sit out of place to avoid depression. One should not drink too much alcohol or eat too many rice dough cakes, as they can harm the spleen and stomach and make digestion difficult. The elderly must not eat too much on an empty stomach to satisfy their appetite for a moment, which may lead to misfortune. The weather varies, so don't take off your fine clothes all at once. The elderly have weak constitutions, sparse bones and a timid body. They are prone to injury from cold wind. It is necessary to have a jacket at hand. When warm, it will be one bit heavier and gradually lose one bit. Do not expose them to cold wind. Master Liu said: "Diseases that come in spring often arise from the first Yang energy at midnight after the Winter Solstice." If Yang cannot be expelled and Yin cannot be absorbed, the accumulated heat in the heart and abdomen will clash with Yang qi. When two tigers meet, they will surely fight in a narrow passage. As for the transition from spring to summer, it leads to the recurrence of typhoid fever and deficiency fever. This is mainly due to the fact that during the winter months, people are exposed to fire and consume food, causing the accumulated phlegm in the heart and diaphragm to flow into the limbs. One should take medicine that treats phlegm to guide it and prevent it from falling ill. Do not let the back get cold, as coldness can harm the lungs. It causes a cold nose and coughing. Feeling extremely hot, take off your coat less. If it gets a little cold, don't force yourself to endure it, even if you take more. The lung points to the exterior of the five internal organs, and the stomach points to the length of the meridians. These two points must not lose the connection between cold and heat. There is a saying: Avoiding the wind is like avoiding arrows, avoiding colors is like avoiding chaos. Add or remove clothes according to the season, and eat less than the last meal.
