【#24節氣 – 春分】
來到春分節氣，陰陽相半，晝夜平分，注意維持身體的陰陽平衡狀態，相對濕度逐漸提高，「濕邪」令身體感到困倦乏力、提不起勁、食慾不振，多進食薏米、粟米鬚、淮山、陳皮、赤小豆等祛濕食材，每天飲用米水，這就會成為你的體內「抽濕機」，為你去除濕困。體內陽氣不足及潮濕而帶來的「春困」，讓你昏昏欲睡，多到戶外做運動吸收陽氣，順道出一身汗把濕氣驅趕出來。
春日是適宜養肝補血的季節，喝酒最傷肝，還是喝喝米水吧！青色入肝，不妨適量吃綠色蔬菜養肝舒肝，減少吃酸味食物，以免肝火過份旺盛。
溫馨提示：
．適量進食南瓜、芫茜、洋蔥、韭菜，促進陽氣升發。
．沖杯花茶掃走肝鬱，保持好心情。
．善用抽濕機保持室內乾爽，令衣物不帶噏味。
Spring Equinox Solar Term
On Spring Equinox, day and night both have 12 hours and it is important to keep yin and yang balanced in the body. Humidity continue to increase and dampness pathogen can make people feel quite tired with poor appetite. Have more ingredients that can dispel dampness such as coix seeds, corn silk, Chinese yam, dried citrus peel, and rice beans. Have rice water daily to use as your internal dehumidifier. Spring fatigue is caused by insufficient yang qi and humidity so try to go outdoors to absorb yang qi and seat out the dampness in your body.
Spring time is a season suitable to nourish the liver and replenish blood. Drinking alcohol can hurt your liver, so switch to rice water instead! Green food helps the liver so have more green vegetables to nourish the liver, and avoid sour flavoured food to avoid overactive liver fire.
Gentle reminders:
– Have food that will increase yang qi such as pumpkin, cilantro, onion, chives
– Have a cup of floral tea to relieve liver stagnation and keep a happy mood
– use dehumidifier appropriately to keep the indoor climate dry and keep your clothes from smelling wet
