Spring sleepiness is a sign of sub-health

"Spring sleepiness" is a sign that the human body is experiencing sub-health and needs to be taken seriously.

Eating too much hot food, such as spicy food, fried or grilled food, dog meat, mutton, alcohol, hot pot, etc., can easily lead to increased stomach fire, swollen eyes and face, and in severe cases, flushed face and even increased heart fire. Internal heat can affect a person's mental state and work mood, causing problems such as fatigue, drowsiness, insomnia, dizziness, and lack of concentration at work.

The impact of hot pot and air conditioning cannot be ignored. Hot pot is mainly suitable for the high temperature and high humidity climate in the southwest region. Many of the hot pot spices used now are traditional Chinese medicines with high heat properties, such as pepper and aconite. After consumption, they not only promote the rise of liver yang and dryness and heat in the lungs, but also force the use of related medicines such as aconite to increase the dosage in the future.

Many homes or office buildings use air conditioning in a closed environment, causing excessive levels of harmful gases such as carbon dioxide in the air, which can also aggravate the symptoms of "spring sleepiness." The leaf fuzz, pollen and other dust in the spring environment can make some people with allergies prone to "spring sleepiness". Therefore, in an office building, if 20% of people show symptoms such as drowsiness, yawning, difficulty opening eyes, flushed face, tears in the wind, hair loss, etc., the air conditioner should be turned off.

The humidity is higher in spring and the temperature rises. Do not overwork yourself and do not oversleep or exercise. Eat more light and delicious foods and less desserts. Work or exercise should be gentle and slow, such as jogging, as long as you don't sweat. Don't stay up late at night.

For those who have been "infected" with "spring sleepiness", they can do more deep breathing and aerobic exercises to increase lung capacity, drink more water, and eat less greasy and hot food, especially hot pot. When office white-collar workers feel sleepy, they can do a proper head massage to relieve the symptoms.

It is understood that "spring sleepiness" indicates that the body has adverse symptoms such as lung yin deficiency, lung dryness and heat, damp phlegm, hyperactivity of liver yang, and kidney yin deficiency. In addition to drowsiness, other symptoms include flushed face, irritability, hair loss, memory loss, bowel movements, and increased vaginal discharge in women.
