The diet should also be "flat" to maintain a balance between cold and heat. Diet can be matched according to personal physique, and it is best to eat things that help yang, such as leeks and garlic, with nourishing yin.
As the saying goes, "the liver can spoil the spleen", and excessive liver qi can also damage the spleen, so eat more sweets, such as jujube, yam, spinach, shepherd's purse, chicken and chicken liver, and eat less sour food.
Spring is a clean season, and the body needs to be clean. Drink more juice to clear the intestines, and don't eat any sugar and caffeine for two weeks. Smoking is a good choice. In addition, it is best to ban alcohol in spring, don't overeat, just be full at seven points, which will make your body more energetic.
People's brains are easily excited in spring, and B vitamins have a calming effect on the nervous system, which helps to enhance cell energy and prevent mosquito bites in spring.

2, nourishing the liver and detoxifying spring should be enjoyable and refreshing.
Proper exercise is needed in spring. The book Su Wen Zhi Zhen Da Lun says: "Carefully observe the land of Yin and Yang and adjust it to keep it quiet for a period of time." It means that the human body should keep the internal movement and external movement consistent according to the yin and yang conditions in different periods, even if the physiological movement of viscera, qi, blood and essence is balanced with the "supply and demand" relationship of brain power, physical strength and exercise. In spring, you can choose to go for an outing, walk slowly, or do some traditional Chinese medicine Baduanjin and Wuqinxi, which not only pleases the body and mind, but also plays a certain role in sports, killing two birds with one stone.
3, spring liver detoxification should be smooth.
Because all foods digested and absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract must be transported to the liver through the portal vein for processing, many foods and drugs often produce toxic substances when they are fermented in the intestine. Therefore, constipation will force the burden on the liver to increase, so ensuring smooth stool is the primary task of liver detoxification, because toxic substances can be excreted in time to reduce the burden on the liver.
It has been observed that people who like to eat high-fiber foods can empty their intestines within 12 ~ 14 hours, while low-fiber foods need more than 28 hours. Besides eating high-fiber food, you can massage your abdomen before going to bed at night. The specific method is: massage the palm from the upper abdomen to the lower abdomen 10 times, and massage the left and right ribs to the left and right lower abdomen 10 times, which will make defecation smoother.
