★ 饮食养生 What to eat

从中医五行来看,春天对应着人体的肝脏。惊蛰到来时,随着气候转暖、大地复苏,人体阳气开始升腾,阴气相对较弱,易肝阳上亢化为肝火,从而破坏脏腑间的平衡,导致肝脾不和。因此,所以惊蛰应继续在适当摄入酸性食物的同时,适量进食甘、淡的食物,通过食物的性味来帮助维持脏腑间的平衡。枇杷、梨、菠菜、生菜、茄子、菱角、黄瓜和香蕉都是不错的选择。而不易消化的食物如油炸食物,以及冷食和刺激性食物则应减少摄入。

As we introduced before,Spring relates to Liver of our body in TCM theory,During Awakening of Insects,with the climate changing,the Yang/Qi in human body is increasing and the Yin/Blood is relatively weak,which is easy to have Liver fire and lead to disharmony among Liver and Spleen/stomach.Therefore,it's good to keep the balance of Liver and Spleen via taking moderate sour and sweet food.Loquat,pear,spinach,lettuce,eggplant,water chestnut,cucumber and banana are all good choices.Meanwhile,the diet should be light,food hard to be digested like greasy oil(fried food),cold and stimulating ones should be avoided.
