1. Nourish the liver and protect the liver

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the liver corresponds to spring, and nourishing the liver is the first priority in spring health preservation.

You can help nourish the liver by eating some liver-nourishing foods, such as wolfberry, chrysanthemum, hawthorn, etc.

2. Diet

The spring diet should be light and easy to digest, appropriately increase the intake of high-quality protein and vegetables, and follow the principle of “less acid and more sweetness” to maintain the spleen and stomach. Seasonal vegetables and fruits, such as spinach, spring shoots, etc., are good choices for a spring diet.

Spring is a great time to increase your outdoor activities and exercise. Recommended exercises include walking, jogging, tai chi, etc., which help promote the flow of qi and blood and improve the body’s metabolic capacity. Exercise in moderation and avoid overexertion.

4. Mental recuperation

Yang energy rises in spring, and people’s mood is prone to fluctuations. Therefore, spring health should not ignore mental recuperation, maintain a happy mood, and avoid excessive mood swings. You can regulate your emotions by cultivating hobbies, communicating and sharing with friends, etc.

5. Adjust your schedule

In spring, we should conform to the natural growth of qi, adjust the work and rest time, go to bed early and get up early, so as to facilitate the discharge of liver qi and physical health.

6. Protect against wind and cold

The weather in spring is changeable, so you should pay attention to the wind and cold, and avoid cutting down on clothing too soon to prevent colds and typhoid fever.

7. Take care of the spleen and stomach

In spring, the liver qi is vigorous, which may affect the spleen and stomach, so you should choose spicy and sweet foods in your diet, keep them light and avoid greasy, so as to protect the health of the spleen and stomach.
