6 things women should not do to maintain their health in spring

Because the Yang energy in nature begins to rise in spring, we should take advantage of this and nourish the Yang.

Don't dress thinly

As the saying goes, "Keep warm in spring and keep cool in autumn", although spring begins to warm up, the temperature gradually rises and flowers bloom. It is also a season that displays beauty and life. But don't take off your winter clothes and wear nice clothes in spring. Although Yang energy is gradually growing, Yin and cold have not yet disappeared. You should be aware that the temperature difference in early spring is large. You should wear more in the morning and evening. Don't wear thin skirts all day long, otherwise it will cause arthritis and various gynecological diseases. However, you need to "cover" appropriately. Basically, you just need to wear "thin on top and thick on the bottom" and pay attention to keeping your legs and joints warm so as not to leave any roots of disease.

TIPS: Women who love beauty can bring a few more layers of clothing, adding and removing them one by one as the weather changes. They should also treat each person differently based on their physiological characteristics, age, gender, health status, living environment, occupation, etc.

Don’t forget to take supplements

In spring, we should pay attention to the diversification of our daily diet to ensure that the body can get a rich and adequate supply of nutrients.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that when the body's positive energy is strong, "evil energy" will not easily invade the body and no disease will occur, so it is very important to strengthen the body and improve the body's resistance to disease. After the Waking of Insects, the weather becomes warmer, various animals begin to move around, and bacteria and viruses begin to grow and multiply, so people need to adjust their diet and strengthen their physical fitness to resist the invasion of bacteria or viruses.

TIPS: According to the characteristics of the gradual growth of Yang energy in the human body in spring, we can choose the dietary principles of balanced, clear and gentle tonic to avoid counterproductive results. Pay attention to preserving yin and suppressing yang, and eat more light food to improve the body's immunity.

Do not stay in a damp environment for a long time

As the temperature starts to rise in spring, the moisture in the air gradually increases, making it seem very humid. Especially in the spring in the south, the haze, humidity and stuffiness provide an environment for the growth of bacteria. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure ventilation in the living room and office. When the weather is good, you should dry the bedding and clothes more often, and keep the room dry and breathable when you sleep at night. You can wear more loose cotton clothes to avoid eczema.

TIPS: The temperature is very humid in spring, so ladies should pay more attention to personal hygiene and make sure their underwear is kept dry. Also, make sure clothes are hung out to dry in a well-ventilated place to prevent bacteria from growing. Try not to wear tight pants and do not use sanitary pads for a long time, so as to avoid the stuffy moisture from being able to dissipate and affecting the cleanliness of the vagina.

Don't eat too much sour food, eat more sweet food

Traditional Chinese medicine advocates that the diet should "reduce sourness and increase sweetness" in spring, which is the basic rule for nourishing the liver in spring. Because in spring people's liver yang is strong, eating acidic food will cause the liver qi to be too strong, and a strong liver can easily damage the spleen and stomach. Therefore, in spring, the diet should avoid sour and sweet foods.

Avoid consuming too much acidic food. Such as lamb, dog meat, quail, fried peanuts, fried melon seeds, sea fish, shrimp, crab, etc. Eat more sweet and warm foods that nourish the spleen, such as yam, spring bamboo shoots, spinach, jujube, leek, etc.

TIPS: You should eat more nourishing foods in spring. Choosing foods with warming properties can help boost yang. Eating more of them can achieve the purpose of maintaining yang energy. When cooking, add more spicy vegetables such as onions, garlic, leeks, wormwood, mustard greens, etc., and also choose mild fruits.

Don’t live in a small house, exercise regularly

Regular exercise in spring is good for your health. Because the Yang energy in nature begins to rise in spring, we should take advantage of this and nourish the Yang. Think about the world outside where everything is reviving, flowers are blooming and birds are flying. In such an environment, people can easily feel the exuberance and vitality of life. The key to nourishing yang is "movement" rather than "stillness". You should actively exercise outdoors, breathe fresh air, and bask in the sun.

TIPS: Women with poor physical fitness should not exercise too early. It is best to go out for exercise after the sun rises. In particular, pay attention to drinking some hot water, milk, egg soup or other hot drinks before exercising, and the intensity of exercise should not be too high.

Don't be angry, smile often, good health

Spring is not a season in which to be angry, nor is it a suitable season to be angry. As mentioned earlier, the liver yang is hyperactive in spring. If one's emotions are too impatient or fluctuate too much, it is easy to damage the spleen. Therefore, we must be open-minded and maintain harmony between body and mind. Moreover, being too depressed can lead to stagnation of liver qi, reduce immunity, and easily cause mental illness, liver disease, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, etc. Therefore, for the sake of health and beauty, you should be more open-minded and smile more often, so that you can stay young forever.

TIPS: When you are "angry" about something, it is best to take 10 deep breaths before speaking, and don't let your impatience and anger hurt your body and mind. Think about what happens first, don’t hold it in when you are sad, it is good to vent appropriately.
