As the saying goes, "nourish liver in spring, heart in summer, lung in autumn and kidney in winter". What is the scientific basis for this?

In fact, people's work and rest rules are consistent with the four seasons. Chinese medicine believes that attention should be paid to the maintenance of specific organs in the body every season, which is one of the necessary links of health care. Some people don't believe in traditional medicine and don't pay attention to physical maintenance in some seasons, resulting in many symptoms, such as hair loss, insomnia, cold, fever and so on. Personally, I trust the wisdom of the ancients, and I do a good job of seasonal maintenance, and I basically won't get sick. Let me explain in detail why we should maintain the four organs of the body in the four seasons.

As the saying goes, nourishing the liver in spring. Why do you say nourishing the liver in spring? Because when we spend the winter, the human organs are completely awake and the body functions are in the process of dynamic switching. At this time, the core role of the liver in this operating system is to make the liver work normally, stay up late less and drink less, which can keep people in a good mental state in spring. As for nourishing the heart in summer, it is easy to sweat when it is hot in summer. Excessive sweating will increase the burden on the heart and affect the normal operation of the body. Therefore, exercise in summer should be moderate.

Of course, there is also a saying that lungs should be raised in autumn. Why raise lungs? Because autumn is a season of alternating cold and warm, everything gradually enters a static state. At this time, the ability of plants to purify the air becomes weak, and the human body inhales too much dust for a long time, which will have an impact on the lungs, so it is necessary to raise the lungs. Winter is the season of storing yang, and the yang of human body comes from kidney, which is the source of five internal organs. If you don't have enough yang stored in winter, you will get sick easily in the coming year, and your physical function will decline, which will affect your life.

That's my answer. I hope I can help you. Thank you for reading.
