1. Carrots

In the spring when the climate is changeable and smog is frequent, carrots are an ingredient that is both in season and in line with health trends. Carrots are also very nutritious. The beta-carotene they contain can prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, regulate blood lipids and blood pressure, and scavenge free radicals. Moreover, beta-carotene can be converted into vitamin A in the body, which can maintain the function of the retina and epithelial tissue. It is very good for the eyes and is a very healthy food.

Carotene is the most abundant element in carrots. It is best to eat carrots by fumigating them with oil to maximize their nutritional value, or eat them with common meat in life. Only about 10% of the carotene in carrots is absorbed, and the rest is excreted.

2. Lettuce

Lettuce is the first choice for health preservation in spring. Lettuce has many benefits. In ancient times, people often used it to treat urinary incontinence and indigestion of the spleen and stomach. Lettuce is high in nutrients, which helps promote intestinal smoothness and reduce atrial pressure, and is extremely beneficial for some patients with hypertension and heart disease. It also contains a small amount of other elements, which also plays a big role in other aspects of human health. Therefore, eating lettuce regularly can help relieve tension and help people fall asleep well.

Although eating lettuce in spring has many benefits to the human body, it is not suitable for everyone. Lettuce is cold in nature. People who have spleen and stomach deficiency and often have loose stools should not eat too much lettuce, otherwise it will aggravate indigestion and cause diarrhea. At the same time, people with eye diseases, especially night blindness, should not eat too much. If such people experience blurred vision after eating lettuce, they should stop eating it immediately. Generally, vision will recover on its own after a few days of stopping consumption.

Lettuce has the effects of benefiting the five internal organs, unblocking meridians, clearing stomach heat and promoting diuresis.

Everything comes back to life in spring, so you should eat more foods that generate yang energy. Sprouts are responsible for growth, so eating bean sprouts regularly in spring is beneficial to the growth of the body's yang energy.
