On 4/0, Qingming, which is the fifth of the 24 solar terms. On the occasion of the Qingming Festival, under the guidance of the Provincial Health Commission, the Provincial Health Publicity and Education Center and a number of units jointly launched the "Panda Talk Solar Terms" health communication plan. In the first phase, Ma Jie, chief physician of the Second Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Sichuan Province, and other traditional Chinese medicine experts were invited to talk about health preservation in the Qingming season.

Qingming is the season of recovery of all things, at this time the weather is changeable, warm and cold, rain and tide, the temperature difference between day and night is large, the humidity is gradually heavy, and the spread of various pathogens is increasing. How to maintain health in this solar term? Experts said that daily life needs to prevent "three diseases" and strengthen "three yang". The so-called prevention of "three diseases" is to prevent spring plague, asthma and chronic diseases. Strengthening the "three yang" is to pay attention to the three aspects of diet, exercise, and emotion.

Prevention of spring plague: Spring plague refers to common and infectious fever diseases in spring, including influenza, meningococcal meningitis, scarlet fever, measles, muzzle, rubella, etc. Spring plague has the characteristics of sudden onset, excessive heat, easy to hurt yin, and extremely fast. To prevent spring plague, it is necessary to pay attention to the ventilation of the room and try to avoid going to crowded places. When the weather is drier, a humidifier is best used indoors, or in the bedroom with potted water. Eat more fruits, drink more water, eat less hot foods such as fried and fried, and exercise appropriately to enhance your own resistance.

Anti-asthma: The annual Qingming Festival is a high incidence period of allergic asthma. People with pollen and plant allergies should not go to parks or botanical gardens, and if they must go out, they should also reduce contact with pollen, and it is best to wear a mask. Generally speaking, noon and afternoon are the times when the concentration of pollen in the air is high, and you should try to avoid going out at this time. In addition, the prevention of respiratory tract infections is also an important part of asthma prevention. Therefore, during the Qingming season, attention should be paid to adding or removing clothing in time according to weather changes to avoid catching colds.

Prevention of chronic diseases: In this season, the temperature rises and falls, and the body's metabolic function is also vigorous, but the climate change is abnormal, and the spring cold and spring warmth alternate, which is the high incidence period of some chronic diseases. Experts remind that it is especially necessary to prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular, respiratory, digestive and mental diseases.

Be cautious about eating "hair" when eating

"Hair" refers to foods that are nutritious or irritating, and are particularly likely to induce certain diseases or aggravate existing diseases. Under normal circumstances, moderate consumption of "hair matter" will not cause adverse reactions or discomfort to most people, but during the Qingming Festival, the human body's yang energy is hyperactive, outwardly thinning, the balance of internal and external yin and yang is unstable, and the flow of qi and blood fluctuates greatly, and a slight impropriety will lead to diseases of the cardiovascular, digestive, respiratory and other systems. In this season, bronchial asthma, skin diseases, coronary heart disease and other diseases often aggravate, such as eating improper "hair products", it may lead to further aggravation of the disease. During the Qingming period, the liver qi in the body is particularly vigorous, which will affect the function of the spleen, and can also make people emotionally unbalanced and poor flow of qi and blood. The "hair products" that should be eaten with caution include hairtail, yellow croaker, crucian carp, mussel meat, shrimp, crab and other aquatic products; Chicken, pig's head, goose, donkey, roe deer, beef, mutton, dog and other poultry and livestock.

At the same time, Qingming is also a good time to nourish the liver, you should eat more wolfberry, jujube, soy products, animal blood, white fungus and other foods that are beneficial to the liver to nourish the liver or prevent the decline of liver function. However, it is also not allowed to take too much tonic for the liver, mainly to nourish the liver and soften the liver, and take into account the spleen and stomach.

Practicing Baduanjin can improve the body's immunity

In addition to choosing to go outdoors for walking, mountaineering and other sports, you can also practice Baduanjin to regulate your spirit. Baduanjin is a traditional fitness method in China, which is composed of eight movements, each of which is called a "section". Each action should be repeated many times, and combined with breath conditioning (such as tongue against the upper jaw, Yishou dantian). Its movements are generally soothing and suitable for people of all ages. Practicing Baduanjin can relieve fatigue, relax the body and mind, improve the body's immunity, and also stimulate the body's potential to treat chronic diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, anxiety and insomnia. In the Baduanjin exercises, you can choose one or two sections to practice individually, or you can complete the whole set in one go. For example, people with a bad spleen and stomach during the Qingming Festival can recommend the "regulating the spleen and stomach must be single-lifted" formula, and regular practice has a health care effect on the spleen and stomach. People with stiff shoulder and neck joints and poor qi can choose to practice the "two hands supporting Tianli and three focuses" style.

At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to emotional health. After the beginning of spring, the liver qi in the body becomes more and more abundant as the spring deepens, reaching its peak during the Qingming Festival. At this time, if you do not pay attention to regulating the emotions, and the seven emotions are not smooth, it will affect the excretion of the liver and the rise of yang qi, resulting in the dysfunction of the internal organs. Therefore, people should learn to regulate their mentality, try to make their mood comfortable, strive to be calm, treat others with generosity, and maintain an optimistic and open-minded attitude towards life, which is very beneficial to physical health.
