What should people with weak constitution pay attention to in spring health preservation?

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, spring is a season that all the health experts have attached great importance to. Because this season is full of vigor and vitality, but it is also a season of reproduction and recovery of various germs and microorganisms, and diseases are easy to spread.

Eat: More sweet and less sour is the principle of spring diet.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that spring corresponds to the liver in the five internal organs, which is prone to excessive liver qi, adversely affecting the spleen and stomach and hindering the normal digestion and absorption of food. Sweet food can nourish the spleen and stomach, while sour food enters the liver, and its sexual convergence. Eating more is not conducive to the growth of yang and the release of liver qi in spring, and it will also make the already vigorous liver qi more vigorous, causing greater harm to the spleen and stomach. This is also one of the reasons why diseases such as chronic gastritis and gastric ulcer are easy to recur in spring.

On the issue of "tonic", healthy people can completely avoid tonic, while patients with chronic diseases can consult doctors for dialectical treatment in time according to the principle of nourishing yang in spring and summer, which can not only control old diseases, but also prevent new diseases, or use various ginseng to recuperate and strengthen their physique under the guidance of doctors, but never abuse tonic. According to Chinese medicine experts, people can eat more sweets, such as lean meat, eggs, milk, honey, bean products and fresh vegetables. Because in spring, the liver qi is strong, the temper is weak, the spleen and stomach dominate the limbs, the temper is not strong, and the limbs are weak, so the spleen should be supplemented. Medicine tonic is not as good as food tonic, and spleen tonic should eat more crucian carp, carrots, apples, yams and so on.
