　　Yi - I'm angry and need to be covered with spring.

　　In spring, when the Yang Qi rises, the warmth returns to the cold. You should wear appropriate "covering" clothes to avoid feeling the wind and cold, especially in the early morning, afternoon and evening, which are the times of the day when the cold is more severe. At this time, you should dress and cover yourself appropriately to protect the Yang Qi, resist wind and cold, and keep Qi and blood flowing smoothly. However, "covering" should not be excessive. It is appropriate to feel warm and sweat slightly after activity.

　　When "getting angry", you should "cover up" appropriately. For example, after smoking and drinking too much, eating spicy and fatty foods, being tired from running around, or staying up late continuously, you may have sore throat, itchy throat, dry mouth and nose. At this time, you are most likely to feel cold and develop a cold and fever. Therefore, you should wear more clothes to avoid catching cold, drink more water, adjust your life as soon as possible, and keep your mood comfortable and your bowel movements smooth.

　　Food - nourish liver qi, eat flowers and seedlings

　　With flowers blooming in spring, it’s a good idea to choose scented tea with different properties, tastes and effects according to different body types. For example, people who often feel afraid of the cold, have cold hands and feet, are depressed, have a dark complexion, and are susceptible to colds can drink warm tea, such as osmanthus tea to warm the lungs and dispel cold, warm the stomach and relieve pain; However, when the symptoms of "heat" are obvious, you can drink herbal tea temporarily, such as chrysanthemum tea with dizziness and tinnitus, jasmine tea and honeysuckle tea with sore throat, lotus leaf tea with headache, notoginseng tea with insomnia and dreaminess, cognac tea with irritability and irritability, and sophora tea with dry stool or even blood. However, those who are repeatedly "heated" should not drink these cold drinks often and should identify the cause of the disease. Otherwise, it will easily damage Yang Qi, aggravate the blockage of Qi and blood, and form a vicious cycle. In addition, you should pay attention to nourishing the liver in your spring diet. Among the foods that have the most hair-raising properties, they are "seedlings"! For example, soybean sprouts, mung bean sprouts, garlic sprouts, shepherd's purse, bamboo shoots, lettuce, coriander, leeks, Chinese toon sprouts, etc. These foods are also good for nourishing and protecting the liver.

　　Live - Add some greenery and get up early

　　Spring emphasizes getting up early. It is best to go to bed when the sun rises. After getting up, you can sit in a place with a wide field of vision, stretch your waist, move your muscles and bones, take deep breaths, let out the old and absorb the new, which can make people feel refreshed and avoid spring sleepiness. The period between 11 pm and 1 am is a critical time for producing the energy needed for the next day, so it is best to go to bed before 11 o'clock to avoid difficulty falling asleep, feeling sleepy, weak, and listless the next day. In addition, green is the color of spring, which can give people a feeling of freshness, relaxation and joy. In spring, why not add some green to your home and residence, raise some green plants, and install some green ornaments, such as spider plants, ivy, tiger tail orchid, etc., which can beautify the eyes, nourish the heart, and purify the air.

　　OK - bask in the sun and take more walks

　　Vigorous exercise can easily dissipate yang energy and be detrimental to health. Therefore, walking is most suitable in spring when everything recovers. It is recommended to take a walk after the sun rises, because spring is infinitely beautiful and it is a natural "nutrient". Adequate sun bathing every day can obtain 90% of the body's vitamin D needs. It is a natural "disinfectant" that can kill bacteria on the skin, speed up blood circulation, promote metabolism, and achieve the effects of dredging liver qi and warming meridians. It is also a natural "stimulant" that can improve low mood and boost spirits. On a leisurely day, you can also invite a few friends to go on an outing together, adding interest and joy to your life.
