March 5 is the third of the 24 solar terms. The time point of each year is between March 5 and 6 of the Gregorian calendar, and the sun reaches 345 ° of the Yellow meridian. It is mentioned in the collection of the seventy-two seasons of the moon: "February Festival... All things are shocked by the earthquake, and the earthquake is thunder. Therefore, it is said that it is the insects that startle and run away." In winter, animals hide in winter and don't drink or eat, which is called "sting". After the rain solar term, the weather warms up, spring thunder gradually, and everything recovers, which means "waking insects". At this time, most parts of China enter the spring ploughing season. The traditional Chinese concept of health preservation is closely related to the phenomenon of natural phenology. The main points of health preservation in the season of waking insects are "Three Prevention". Prevent catching fire and catching cold In the season of waking insects, when it is warm at first, we should pay attention to the "three precautions": prevent getting angry, catching a cold and falling cold in spring. In the middle of spring, people are prone to "get angry". After getting up in the morning, you should drink warm boiled water, and you can also drink a small amount of white tea every day. If you have symptoms such as bitter mouth, dry mouth, bad breath and sore throat, you can soak a small amount of chrysanthemum and honeysuckle instead of tea to clear away heat, reduce fire and detoxify; With the same amount of osmanthus, it can neutralize the cold nature of chrysanthemum and honeysuckle, and also improve the breath. Three flowers match, which is a very good choice. Cold prevention is the most frequent season of influenza in the spring. All kinds of viruses and bacteria are active, and nasal cavity is the main way to spread them into the body. Nasal cleaning in the morning and evening can effectively prevent colds. You can use nasal cleanser, or hold water in your hand, gently inhale the water into the nasal cavity with your nose, stay for a moment, and then eject the water with force, repeated 3-5 times. In addition, make soup with coriander, white radish, ginger and rock sugar. It is suitable for the beginning of wind cold and cold, when the body temperature is not very high and there is slight runny nose but no obvious sore throat. Anti cold spring "wind" is the protagonist of this season, and the wind is strong. If you don't pay attention to the bacteria, they will invade the human body. Avoiding the evil of wind, relaxing emotions and saving food are the ways to maintain health at this time. We should protect the wrist, waist, abdomen, navel and ankle. At the wrist, keep warm for Shenmen acupoint, which can protect the blood of the whole body. People's Yang Qi is based on the kidney. The kidney lives in the waist and abdomen. Keeping the waist warm is conducive to the health of the kidney. There are many important meridians in the abdomen, such as spleen and stomach meridians, liver and kidney meridians, and the belly navel is most vulnerable to cold. Especially those who are afraid of cold in the stomach and are prone to diarrhea should pay special attention to keeping warm here. The feet and ankles are not exposed. Many women's cold hands, feet and limbs, dysmenorrhea and abdominal cold are caused by cold at the feet and ankles. Seasonal vegetables identify shepherd's purse and Chinese toon After the sting, the Qi of liver Yang gradually rises and the blood of Yin is relatively insufficient. Health preservation should be in line with the characteristics of the rising of Yang Qi and the beginning of all things, so as to make the spirit, emotion and Qi and blood stretch smoothly. The Yellow Emperor's Canon of internal medicine says: "in spring and March, this is called FA Chen. Heaven and earth are born, and all things are proud. Lie at night and walk early, walk widely in the court, and walk slowly with hair in order to generate ambition." It means that everything recovers in spring. You should get up early and take a walk slowly, which can make you feel happy and healthy. In daily life, we should get up early, wear loose clothes, take appropriate outdoor walks and do soothing exercises, such as Taijiquan and Baduanjin. Don't tie your hair too tightly, and avoid wearing tight clothes and trousers, so as to prevent the body's meridians from being bound and the meridians from growing hair. From the aspect of diet, the daily life in the season of stinging should conform to the nature of the liver, help temper and make the five internal organs peaceful. It is advisable to eat more light foods rich in plant protein and vitamins, such as spring bamboo shoots, spinach and celery, and eat less animal fat foods. In particular, we recommend you to eat two kinds of seasonal vegetables: shepherd's purse and Toona sinensis. Shepherd's purse is the earliest sprouting wild vegetable in spring. It has the effects of protecting the liver, brightening the eyes, diuresis and detumescence. It is also rich in vitamin C and carotene. Chinese toon can improve immunity, strengthen stomach, regulate qi, resist bacteria, diminish inflammation and moisturize skin. Chinese toon eggs, fried Chinese toon buds and cold Chinese toon are all good choices. In addition, the current climate is relatively dry, which is easy to make the population dry tongue and cough. It is recommended to eat rock sugar Sydney Tremella medlar soup. The elderly and children with cough and asthma can also steam scallops, Sydney and red dates. Cut off the top of the pear as a cover, dig out the pear core, put three or five scallops, seedless red dates and one or two rock sugar, and steam them in a pot. This method can not only alleviate the cold nature of pears, but also moisten the lungs and relieve cough. (outlook new era)
