Keeping fit and staying beautiful are lifelong pursuits for every woman. So how should women take care of their health in spring? What should they avoid doing? Let me share some common knowledge about women's health in spring with you.
1. Dress appropriately and stay warm
Spring brings warmth, but it can still be chilly. The climate in spring changes frequently and dramatically. Therefore, it is important to pay special attention to keeping warm. Following the principle of "keeping warm in spring and cool in autumn," it is not advisable to remove winter clothes too early. You should adjust your clothing according to the temperature changes. Otherwise, you may easily catch a cold or develop respiratory diseases.
2. Early to bed, early to rise, don't stay in bed
The ancient Chinese medical book "Neijing" suggests that in spring, one should "go to bed early and wake up early, and take a walk in the courtyard." In spring, it is advisable to go to bed early, wake up early, and spend more time outdoors to stretch your body. This can increase energy levels, reduce fatigue, enhance cardiovascular and respiratory functions, and strengthen the body's immune system. For the elderly, lying in bed for a long time is most likely to damage the body's qi. Sleeping too much in spring not only leads to a decrease in metabolic functions, but also hinders the smooth circulation of qi and blood, resulting in physical weakness, stiffness in the tendons and meridians, and an increased risk of cerebral thrombosis.
3. Adjust your diet, avoid foods that generate excessive heat
In spring, metabolism is in full swing. It is advisable to eat nutritious, light and delicious food with a sweet taste and less acidity. You should eat more vegetables and fruits, avoid overeating, drink alcohol in moderation, and avoid consuming sticky foods such as raw and cold dishes and glutinous rice cakes. It is especially important to avoid consuming excessively spicy, hot, fried, and grilled foods, as they can generate excessive heat and lead to the development of boils, acne, and other skin conditions.
4. Exercise and strengthen your physique
Spring is the best time for physical exercise as the air is fresh and conducive to rejuvenating the internal organs. Regular exercise in spring is the best opportunity to enhance physical fitness, strengthen the body's immune system, and improve disease resistance. It can help reduce the occurrence of illnesses throughout the year.
5. Enjoy the sunny and breezy weather with spring outings
In spring, it is important to pay attention to mental well-being, especially to control anger and find ways to vent emotions. The sunny and breezy weather is perfect for going out for a walk, appreciating the beauty of nature, and enjoying outdoor activities such as hiking and water sports. These activities can cultivate one's temperament, broaden the mind, promote smooth circulation of qi and blood, and invigorate the spirit.
