Autumn dryness mainly depends on prevention. First of all, it is advisable to drink more water, porridge and soybean milk, and eat more foods such as radish, lotus root, water chestnut and pear, which moisten the lungs and promote fluid production, nourish yin and clear dryness. Pear, in particular, has the functions of promoting fluid production to quench thirst, relieving cough and resolving phlegm, clearing away heat and reducing fire, moistening lung and removing dryness, and is very suitable for people with internal heat, cough due to lung heat, dry throat and sore throat, and dry stool. Try to eat less or not to eat hot and dry products such as pepper, onion, ginger, garlic and pepper, and eat less fried and greasy food so as not to aggravate the symptoms of autumn dryness. Autumn pear is a good autumn fruit, which has good cough relieving and dryness moistening effects.
Beginning of autumn needs lungs.
After beginning of autumn, Yang declined and Yin rose, and nature began to change from growth to collection. According to the principle of four seasons, yin qi is nourished in autumn and winter. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the lungs correspond to autumn, and autumn is dry, and qi dryness hurts the lungs. Lung-qi deficiency reduces the body's tolerance to bad stimuli and is prone to diseases, because it needs to moisten dryness, nourish yin and moisten the lungs. According to the theory of Five Elements Prosperity, the liver, heart, spleen and stomach are in a weak stage at this time, while the lung function is in a vigorous stage after beginning of autumn. According to the principle of harmonizing yin and yang and balancing the body, it is necessary to strengthen the aftercare of these organs, so that the lung qi will not be too biased and affect the health.
Autumn dryness is easy to hurt the lungs, so you can eat soft foods such as sesame, honey, lily, almond and dairy products properly. , can benefit the stomach and produce fluid, which is good for health. At the same time, you can eat more sour fruits and vegetables, and put them away when they are sour.
In addition, when the lungs are full, it is easy to affect the liver, but in autumn, people are prone to depression and other manifestations, while in physiology, it is easy to cause diseases such as qi and blood disorders, such as endocrine disorders, such as menstrual disorders, palpitations, insomnia and so on. When this phenomenon occurs, it can be adjusted by nourishing yin and softening the liver.
Beginning of autumn should get rid of summer heat and cool down.
After beginning of autumn, although the temperature difference between day and night became larger, it was still very hot during the day, and sometimes the heat was even more oppressive. Therefore, heatstroke prevention and cooling should continue without any negligence.
There are three measures: first of all, foods that clear away heat and relieve summer heat cannot be removed from the table at once. Generally speaking, this diet can prevent heatstroke, stop sweating and rehydrate, and also stimulate appetite. So it is very beneficial to drink mung bean soup or eat lotus seed porridge and mint porridge. Eating more fresh fruits and vegetables can not only meet the needs of the human body, but also supplement the potassium lost through perspiration. Second, the cold diet should be reduced. After a long trip to Xia Hou, people's physical exertion is very high, especially some elderly people, most of whom have weak spleen and stomach. Therefore, when choosing food, it should not be too cold, such as watermelon, pear, cucumber, grape and so on. Its taste is cold, eating more may hurt the spleen and stomach, and eating less. Third, dietary nutrition should be strengthened. You can't make your diet too light just to clear away heat and relieve summer heat. In fact, when you come in early autumn, you can eat meat properly. Many foods, such as ducks, loaches, fish, lean pork and seafood, can not only remove the heat in summer, but also nourish you, so you can eat them with confidence.
Eat less autumn melons after beginning of autumn.
After beginning of autumn, we should remember that "autumn melons are bad for our stomachs". No matter watermelon, cantaloupe or cabbage, you can't eat more at will, otherwise it will damage the spleen and stomach yang. Eating a lot of melons in summer will not cause diseases of the spleen and stomach, but will reduce the disease resistance of the stomach and intestines. After beginning of autumn, eating a lot of fruits and vegetables raw will definitely help damp evil, damage spleen yang, and acute and chronic gastrointestinal diseases such as diarrhea and dysentery will follow.
Beginning of autumn should guard against colds.
After beginning of autumn, the high temperature in the daytime will start to cool down at night, so the temperature difference between morning and evening is too large, which will easily lead to frequent colds. Experts remind that in terms of clothing and rest at home, we should pay more attention to preventing colds at night.
Some friends are used to sleeping shirtless at home, and the air conditioning temperature is set too low. When sleeping at night, the cold invades the body, and the physical fitness drops, causing diseases such as colds and shoulder and neck pain. Experts said that after beginning of autumn, the weather will gradually turn cold, reminding the general public not to turn on the air conditioner all the time in the home environment, especially at night, and try to turn on the air conditioner as little as possible. You can often open the window in the morning and evening when it is cool to let the air circulate and keep the indoor air fresh. In addition, you should pay attention to getting wet when you go out, which is easy to cause physical discomfort. Reminder, it is best to bring rain gear or spare clothes when going out in case of emergency.
Beginning of autumn should also prevent and control "air-conditioned diseases"
In the hot season, many families and offices are air-conditioned, and people are prone to "air conditioning disease" while enjoying the cool breeze. Especially after beginning of autumn, the weather is cooler in the morning and evening. If you don't pay attention, you will have abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea, cold, waist and shoulder pain and other symptoms.
After beginning of autumn, it is cold in the morning and evening, so it is not easy to turn on the air conditioner for a long time. It is best not to turn it on at night or only to turn on dehumidification. This can not only reduce the temperature and dispel the summer heat, but also prevent air-conditioning diseases. Second, people in air-conditioned environment often drink ginger soup. Ginger has three functions: sweating, relieving exterior syndrome, warming stomach, stopping vomiting and detoxifying, which can effectively prevent and treat "air conditioning disease". Third, people with chronic diseases such as asthma and chronic bronchitis, and people with weak gastrointestinal function are not easy to turn on the air conditioner. Avoid direct blowing and cover your abdomen if necessary.
Beginning of autumn should exercise moderately.
After beginning of autumn, the damp heat has not completely subsided, so excessive exercise and strenuous activity should be avoided in this season. Especially middle-aged and elderly people, we should take it easy. In the same environment and the same intensity of exercise, the endurance of middle-aged and elderly people is lower than that of young people. The possibility of injury, injury, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents is far greater than that of young people. Therefore, sports with excessive physical exertion are not suitable for middle-aged and elderly people.
Swimming, Tai Ji Chuan and other sports are more suitable for middle-aged and elderly people. Tai Ji Chuan, in particular, is a good exercise, driven by flexibility, and the smooth shift of the center of gravity is helpful to the training of muscle coordination and balance. Pay attention to warm-up exercise for 5 to 10 minutes before exercise and moderate exercise for a few minutes after exercise. In short, this season's exercise should pay attention to the following points: it is best to choose early morning and night exercise; It is not advisable to exercise in the sun for too long, so as not to burn the skin due to excessive physical exertion; It is not advisable to exercise too vigorously in hot and humid weather.
Beginning of autumn needs nursed back to health.
It is the time when the weather is crisp in beginning of autumn. It is good for chickens to go to bed early and get up early. Going to bed early conforms to the convergence of yang, and getting up early stretches lung qi to prevent excessive convergence. Beginning of autumn is the season of early autumn, and the heat is not over. Although there is a cool breeze, the weather is changeable. Even in the same area, there will be a situation of "four seasons in one day and different days in ten miles". Therefore, it is not advisable to wear too many clothes, otherwise it will affect the body's ability to adapt to the cold climate and it is easy to catch a cold.
