Methods of conditioning to prevent spring diseases

I believe everyone knows that spring is a high-incidence season for diseases, right? Spring is the season when all things come back to life, but it is also the season when various viruses begin to spread. So should we master some methods in advance to prevent the occurrence of diseases? Next, let’s take a look at dietary therapy methods to prevent diseases.

Prevent diseases, seven ways to adjust your diet in spring

It is early spring now and the temperature is still relatively cold. In addition, the temperature has changed greatly recently, and the transition from cold to warm has begun. During this period, scientific diet is very helpful in maintaining good health and preventing diseases.

People are prone to getting angry in spring, which may lead to yellow tongue coating, bitter taste in the mouth and dry throat, so the diet should be light and avoid greasy, cold and irritating food. People with obvious symptoms of getting angry can eat some heat-clearing foods such as mung bean soup, honeysuckle tea, chrysanthemum tea, lotus seed heart soaked in water, etc.

Things that are slightly spicy, such as onions, ginger, leeks, garlic sprouts, etc., are all foods that nourish spring energy. There is a saying in the "Qian Jin Fang" of the Tang Dynasty that "it is easy to eat leeks in February and March". Eating these foods is very beneficial for the growth of yang energy in the human body in spring.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that spring is the season for the liver, one of the five internal organs of the human body. It is advisable to eat spicy, warm and dispersing foods, while eating less raw, cold and sticky foods to avoid damaging the spleen and stomach. Therefore, you should eat more sweet foods and less sour foods in spring.

"Spring sleepiness" makes people physically tired and mentally depressed. You should eat more red, yellow and dark green vegetables, such as carrots, pumpkins, tomatoes, green peppers, celery, etc., which are very good for restoring energy and eliminating spring sleepiness.

As the temperature gradually rises in spring, bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms begin to multiply and become more active, making them easy to invade the human body and cause disease. Therefore, you should take in enough vitamins and minerals in your diet. Fresh vegetables such as celery, kale, broccoli and fruits such as citrus and lemon are rich in vitamin C and have antiviral effects; yellow-green vegetables such as carrots and spinach are rich in vitamin A, which has the function of protecting and enhancing the upper respiratory tract mucosa and epithelial cells of the respiratory organs, thereby resisting the invasion of various pathogenic factors.

Diseases such as gastric and duodenal ulcers are prone to occur in spring. In terms of diet, you should avoid consuming broth, chicken soup, fish soup, animal offal and irritating condiments rich in creatine, purine and other substances, because these foods have a strong stimulating effect on the secretion of gastric juice or form gas to produce abdominal bloating, increasing the gastrointestinal burden.

Chronic tracheitis and bronchitis are also prone to occur in spring. It is advisable to eat more foods that have the effects of removing expectorant, strengthening the spleen, nourishing the kidneys, and nourishing the lungs, such as loquat, orange, pear, walnut, honey, etc., which will help alleviate symptoms.

Through the introduction in the above article, I believe everyone has already known that, in fact, some diseases can be prevented in advance, and the prevention method is actually very simple. We do not need to use drugs for prevention, but can adopt dietary adjustments. This can not only increase the body's nutrition, but also improve the body's immunity, achieving very good results.
