Chinese New Year is a time of great bustle and excitement, with people slaughtering chickens and sheep and toasting to the stars. However, after the feasting and eating of the Spring Festival, and after the endless social engagements, how we take care of our bodies is a question that many people are concerned about. So, how to maintain health after the Spring Festival?

Next, let’s look at how to maintain health after the festival from the perspective of daily living, psychological adjustment after the festival, and exercise and diet. This will help you to better prepare for the new year's work.

Post-holiday health tips: Daily life: In terms of daily life, you should pay attention to going to bed early and getting up early. In spring, you should go to bed early at night and get up early in the morning. Only by developing the habit of going to bed early and getting up early can you get used to and adapt to the "productive energy" of nature. After getting up, it is recommended to let your hair down, undress, stretch your body, and then take a leisurely stroll in the courtyard at home. This can quickly activate the mind. For the elderly and infirm, since the quality of sleep at night is generally not high, it is advisable to arrange a nap for a certain period of time.

Post-holiday health tips: psychological aspects

Psychologically, pay attention to keeping a happy mood. The ancients often said that "anger hurts the liver", therefore, we should learn to stop being angry, and try to be calm, optimistic and cheerful, so as to extinguish the liver fire and allow the liver qi to grow normally and smoothly. Otherwise, excessive emotional stimulation will disrupt the balance and coordination of the five internal organs. In mild cases, it can cause neurasthenia and endocrine disorders; in severe cases, it can cause mental disorders, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, and greatly reduce the body's immunity.

Post-holiday health tips: exercise

In terms of exercise, we should pay attention to doing more outdoor exercise. Because green plants sprout in spring, the anions in the air double. If you exercise in such an environment, it will help improve your physiological functions and health levels, and also help regulate your emotions. Therefore, it is advisable to do more outdoor activities, such as doing exercises, walking, outing, playing ball, flying kites, fishing, appreciating flowers, jogging, practicing Tai Chi, etc. Through these outdoor sports, you can also effectively lose weight.

Post-holiday health tips: diet

Try to include a variety of seasonal vegetables in your diet. You can try spinach, which is a vegetable available all year round, but is best in spring. "Spring spinach" has red roots and green leaves, is very tender and delicious. Spinach, which is on the market in spring, is beneficial for detoxification and preventing spring dryness. Traditional Chinese medicine also believes that spinach is sweet and cool in nature, and can nourish blood, stop bleeding, restrain yin, and moisten dryness. Since spinach contains a lot of oxalic acid, which hinders the absorption of calcium and iron, it is best to blanch the spinach in boiling water until it is softened, then remove it and stir-fry it.
