How to maintain health during Qingming Festival

During the Qingming Festival, all things come back to life. At this time, we also need to pay more attention to our physical health. In life, we all recommend starting with our own diet and health care, and paying more attention to our diet and daily life, so that we can better achieve the effect of health care. Then let’s learn about how to truly help yourself achieve a healthy and effective health purpose during the Qingming Festival. I hope to give everyone better advice.

Many people think that health preservation is actually very simple, but this issue needs to be fully understood. If you do not pay attention to the principles of health preservation, you will not be able to help yourself achieve the results better, and sometimes it will bring adverse effects.

During the Qingming Festival, some places still retain the habit of banning fire and eating cold food. However, some people are not suitable for eating cold food. During the Qingming Festival, it is advisable to eat warm food and eat more vegetables and fruits, especially seasonal vegetables. In addition, during the Qingming solar term, you can eat more foods that protect the liver and lungs, such as shepherd's purse, spinach, and yam, which are good for your body.

Eat at regular times and in regular amounts, and avoid overeating. It is advisable to eat less acidic foods such as mutton, and you can appropriately "increase sweetness" by eating more sweets to conform to the health and vitality of spring. However, obese people should reduce their sweets, limit their calorie intake, and eat more fruits and vegetables.

During the Qingming solar term, it is not advisable to eat bamboo shoots, chicken, etc. "Foods that stir up wind and raise yang" refer to foods that easily induce liver wind and raise qi and yang. Foods that stir up wind and produce phlegm, produce poison, increase fire and evil. People with chronic diseases should avoid eating them. "Irritating foods" include sea fish, shrimps, crabs, pickles, bamboo shoots, hairy bamboo shoots, mutton, rooster, etc. You can eat some cool foods appropriately, so the "Cold Food Festival" also has certain health-preserving principles.

Daily life and health

Although "spring plague" is prevalent during this solar term, you should not stay indoors or sit or lie at home for too long. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "prolonged viewing damages the blood, prolonged lying damages the qi, prolonged standing damages the bones, prolonged walking damages the tendons, and prolonged sitting damages the flesh." You should maintain an optimistic mood, go out for walks in the forest or by the river often, breathe more fresh air, and do appropriate physical exercise.

During this solar term, you should dress appropriately to prevent colds. Avoid using toxic materials when decorating your home and ventilate it frequently.

Travel and Health

During the Qingming outing, it is not advisable to do activities that require too much exercise. For people who are less active, they need to exercise according to their ability and not too much. When the elderly are active, their heart rate should be controlled within 105 beats/minute and their breathing should be controlled within 24 times/minute. For middle-aged and young people, the limits should be relaxed appropriately depending on their individual needs. Patients with heart disease, hypertension, acute and chronic bronchitis, emphysema, nephritis, anemia, tuberculosis, fever, acute infection, and those in the active stage of stones should not try to climb the mountain.

The above is an introduction to some methods of health preservation during the Qingming Festival. I hope that after these introductions, everyone will pay more attention to the issue of health preservation, especially during the Qingming Festival. If you want to better prevent the invasion of some bacteria and viruses, then these health preservation issues cannot be ignored.
