During the Awakening of Insects season, it is advisable to consume foods rich in plant protein and vitamins, such as Tremella fuciformis, lotus seeds, rapeseed, celery, bitter gourd, etc. 2. Nourish and protect the liver. Eat less acid. Spring corresponds to the liver, and this is the good season for nourishing and protecting the liver. Excessive liver qi can damage the spleen. The spleen and stomach are the foundation of postnatal development, and attention should be paid to eating less acid. Acidic foods have a astringent effect, which is not conducive to the rise of yang qi and the entry of acid into the liver. Eating more sour foods can cause excessive liver qi and damage the spleen and stomach. The liver is bitter and urgent, eat sweet food in a hurry to alleviate it. ”The liver is prone to stagnation, which is not conducive to hair growth. At this time, sweet foods such as jujube, yam, and Poria cocos can be consumed. 3. Eat more seasonal wild vegetables and other antibacterial foods. During the awakening season, eat more wild vegetables such as shepherd's purse, bitter vegetables, and Malan seeds appropriately, which can help enhance the human immune system.

The simplest way is to use privet fruit and japonica rice to cook porridge, and at the same time, eat more vegetables such as cabbage, cabbage, spinach, etc. Pay attention to going to bed early and getting up early in daily life. "When lying down, blood returns to the liver." Restoring the liver's function of storing blood during sleep can also reduce the burden on the heart and protect the cardiovascular system. For friends with strong liver fire, they should pay attention to clearing the liver. Due to the sudden increase in yang energy during the awakening of the sting, it triggers the body's heat and can easily lead to symptoms such as acne and excessive sweating. Excessive liver fire can also disturb the mind, exacerbate palpitations, irritability, and high blood pressure. At this time, it is even more important to pay attention to stabilizing emotions and protecting the cardiovascular system.

Just stewed a pear to eat, it has the effect of moistening the lungs and relieving cough. We need to pay attention to the fact that if there is phlegm in the cough, it is more suitable to boil water with pear skin, which will not cause dampness and can better relieve cough and phlegm. A person who is weak and prone to sunburn may feel a chill and pain in their back and limbs during the awakening of insects. This is due to the rapid rise and fall of yang energy between heaven and earth, while the yang energy in the human body cannot keep up. At this point, you may want to sunbathe your back. The back of the human body has the bladder meridian and the Du meridian, which are places where yang energy gathers. After being exposed to sunlight, the back becomes warm and absorbs the yang energy from nature, which helps to promote the circulation of qi and blood in the meridians. It also improves the overall blood circulation and is very beneficial for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health.

Strive to fall asleep before 23:00 and wake up early. Follow the daily rhythm of sleeping at night and waking up early. It is best to fall asleep before 23:00 and wake up at 6-7 the next day. This not only ensures the liver's blood storage function at night, but also promotes the release of yang energy during the day. The liver blood is abundant, the liver qi is relaxed, and the emotions are naturally stable. After waking up, stay in bed for a few minutes. Don't rush out of bed in the morning: close your eyes, adjust your breathing, and focus on guarding the dantian; Wake up 5-10 minutes later to calm your mind and relax your liver qi, making you feel comfortable throughout the day.
