Seasonal health care: adapt to the changes of the four seasons

In spring, when yang qi grows, it is advisable to eat spicy and sweet foods (such as leeks, red dates) to soothe liver qi; in hot summer, you need to eat light foods (mung beans, winter melon) and to prevent heatstroke and humidity; in dry autumn, you should eat more yin-nourishing foods (tremella, pears); in cold winter, you can warm and nourish (mutton, black beans) but avoid excessive amounts. Exercises in different seasons should also be adjusted. For example, outdoor activities are suitable in spring and summer, while indoor soothing exercises are mainly used in autumn and winter. The ancient book "Huangdi Neijing" proposed that "nourishing yang in spring and summer, and nourishing yin in autumn and winter". Zhang Jingyue, a doctor in the Ming Dynasty, further emphasized the importance of "regulating the mind in four seasons".

Circadian schedule: follow the rules of the biological clock

Modern medical research shows that human hormone secretion is closely related to circadian rhythm. Cortisol levels are high between 6 and 9 o'clock in the morning, which is suitable for moderate exercise; body temperature drops between 1 and 3 o'clock in the afternoon, so you can take a short lunch break; melatonin secretion increases after 10 o'clock in the evening, so you should avoid staying up late. The "Ziwu Liu Zhu" theory of traditional Chinese medicine points out that different time periods correspond to different organ functions. For example, 11 pm to 3 am is the golden period for liver and gallbladder detoxification. Long-term violation of circadian rhythm may lead to metabolic disorders, e.g.2022 report of a research institutionIt shows that people who stay up late have a 37% increased risk of diabetes.

For example, you can take appropriate supplements after the winter solstice, but it needs to be combined with exercise to prevent stagnation; during the hot season, you can drink lotus leaf tea and other summer-relieving drinks.
