traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes “spring covers autumn freeze”,

that is, don’t rush to take off winter clothes and change spring clothes in early spring to prevent spring cold. In early spring, there is often a repetition of cold climate, so it is better to dress warmer. For children with poor adjustment ability, the elderly or those with weak physique, clothes should be added or reduced at any time according to the change of climate cold and heat. Experts pointed out that the ability of heat production in the elderly human body is low, and the circulatory system is not as normal as young people, so it is easy to be stimulated by “late spring cold”. Therefore, after the beginning of spring, the elderly should still try to reduce the number of going out, wear hats and reduce the stimulation of head blood vessels by cold air. Patients with hypertension should pay attention to regular and continuous medication.

early spring liver protection: less vitality and less drinking

traditional Chinese medicine theory holds that the liver corresponds to “wood”, plants germinate and grow in spring, and the function of the liver is more active in spring. Therefore, nourishing and protecting the liver is the first choice for health preservation in early spring. Nourishing and protecting the liver mainly include the following aspects: drink plenty of water to prevent toxins from damaging the liver; Drink less alcohol to promote the rise of Yang Qi in the liver. The liver’s ability to metabolize alcohol is limited. Drinking more will hurt the liver. For example, if your weight is 60kg, you can only metabolize 60g alcohol every day. If it exceeds the limit, it will affect liver health, even cause alcoholism and endanger your life.
