As the saying goes: “Stepmother’s face in spring” means that after spring, the weather is cloudy and sunny, and the weather is unpredictable, just like the folk stereotype of stepmothers. In other words, people in the early days knew that spring is a season with relatively large changes in weather. , in such a period, can our body keep up with this change and make good adjustments?

Psychology: Maintaining an optimistic and peaceful attitude, being calm when faced with problems, and not getting sulky can help our immunity to be at its best – not low, not overactive – not overreactive.
2. Keep warm appropriately – reduce the body’s energy consumption in coping with temperature changes

To put it simply, the earth, water, fire, and wind on the body level are just right, but due to lack of timely prevention, wind and cold enter the body, and the body will be out of balance. Therefore, proper warmth is very important, especially our throat and neck.
From the perspective of Western medicine, keeping the throat and respiratory tract warm can allow the immune system to function better. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, there are Fengchi, Fengfu, Yifeng points on the back of our neck, which can be channels for wind evil to enter the body. , as long as you take good precautions, basically the chance of catching a cold will be greatly reduced.
