      “The response to spring energy is the way to maintain health.” For people, more attention should be paid to dietary maintenance in spring to maintain health. healthy

      In spring, the temperature changes greatly, so the nutritional composition in spring should be mainly high-calorie. Because the stimulation of cold and heat can accelerate the decomposition of protein in the body, leading to a decrease in the body's resistance and causing disease. At this time, it is necessary to supplement high-quality protein foods, such as egg , fish, chicken and soy products, etc.

      In spring, microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses begin to multiply and their vitality increases, which can easily invade the human body and cause illness. Therefore, you should take in enough vitamins and inorganic salts in your diet. Fresh vegetables such as cabbage, rapeseed, bell peppers, and tomatoes, and fruits such as citrus and lemons are rich in vitamin C and have antiviral effects. ; Carrots, amaranth and other yellow-green vegetables are rich in vitamin A, which can protect and enhance the upper respiratory tract mucosa and respiratory organ epithelial cells, thereby resisting the invasion of various pathogenic factors. ; Foods rich in vitamin E should also be eaten to improve the body's immune function and enhance the body's disease resistance. Such foods include sesame seeds, green cabbage, cauliflower, etc.

      Chinese medicine also believes that "in spring, it is better to reduce acidity and increase sweetness to nourish the spleen." This is because liver qi is strongest in spring, and strong liver qi affects the spleen, so spleen and stomach weakness is prone to symptoms in spring. Eating more sour foods will cause liver function to become overactive. Therefore, in spring diet, you should choose pungent, sweet and warm foods, and avoid sour and astringent foods. The diet should be light and delicious, and avoid greasy, cold and spicy foods.

      When maintaining health in spring, "food supplements are needed". However, it is necessary to choose a balanced and tonic diet according to the characteristics of the human body's yang energy gradually growing in spring, so as not to be counterproductive.
