Lifestyle Care ~Feeling the Arrival of Spring~

Hello. This is Hayashi, the manager of Kurashisha.

How are you all doing in this harsh cold?

It seems like the cold days will continue for a while, but after Setsubun comes Risshun (the beginning of spring). According to the calendar, spring begins.

It's the time when plum buds swell and plants begin to sprout.

In traditional Chinese medicine, it is said that eating a small amount of bitter foods at the beginning of spring helps to expel unnecessary things accumulated in the body during winter and awaken the body.

Bitter wild vegetables and canola flowers really make you feel like spring.

Early spring is still cold, and it's a time when it's easy to catch a cold.

Incorporate warming foods and foods rich in vitamins into your diet. Chives, which are in season in spring, are rich in nutrients, promote blood circulation, and warm the body, making them recommended for those who are sensitive to cold.

Spring is a season when both mind and body become active.

If you try to suddenly become active after it gets warmer, stiff muscles can lead to injuries.

First, relax your mind, gradually loosen your body, and enjoy spring expansively.
