Entering China
Spring is the season of growth of all things, and the metabolism of the human body is becoming more and more active, which is the “golden period” of health preservation. Doctors suggest that a reasonable diet and suitable soothing exercise in spring can better regulate the body’s metabolism and achieve the effect of scientific health preservation.
The liver is overburdened by controlling the total calories of food
The doctor said that the liver, as an important metabolic organ of the human body, increases the burden in spring, and a reasonable diet is the key to nourishing the liver. In terms of diet, it is necessary to control the total daily calorie intake, stay away from high-fat and high-sugar foods, avoid excessive metabolic pressure on the liver, and eat more foods rich in antioxidants, high-quality protein and dietary fiber. In addition, the elderly and children need to pay special attention to their diet due to the special nature of their physical functions.
Wang Xinyue, attending physician of the Department of Clinical Nutrition of Fudan Zhongshan Xiamen Hospital, suggested that the elderly should pay special attention to the problem of slowing down metabolism and weakened digestion and absorption, and can eat some easily digestible proteins, such as fish and tofu. Children should pay attention to the growth and development period by eating some foods rich in vitamin A, such as egg yolks, dark green vegetables and carrots.
Yang Qi is rising, pay attention to “spring cover autumn frost”.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the yang energy is beginning to rise in spring, and it is suitable to carry out soothing exercises at this time, such as walking, tai chi, Baduanjin, etc., which can promote the growth and stretching of yang energy, but it is necessary to avoid excessive exercise intensity leading to sweating and yang energy leakage. In terms of work and rest, you should go to bed early and get up early to ensure adequate sleep to nourish the liver and help the smooth rise of liver qi.
Cao Hongxia, chief physician of the Endocrinology Department of the Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that the so-called “spring cover and autumn freezing” is to remind everyone to keep warm in spring and not to take off clothes too quickly, “If children want to grow fast, they can eat something that grows hair, and the elderly can’t grow too much, otherwise it is easy to have high blood pressure.”
