Editor's note: Autumn is a beautiful season, full of gold, but this season also has bad aspects, and it is very prone to respiratory diseases. How do you prevent respiratory diseases? Bian Xiao of Sanjiu Yangshengtang has a way to make you healthy and enjoy this beautiful autumn season. Why is autumn easy to hurt the lungs? Director Yang used to be in good health. He just became the director last year, and people treat him to drinks every night. After drinking, I went to the sauna and karaoke. I started coughing in winter and have been coughing for a month. I went to see an old Chinese doctor. Chinese medicine said that the cause was that I didn't take good care in autumn and my lungs were injured. When the weather is cold in winter, I have an attack. Why do you get sick in winter when you hurt your lungs in autumn? Huangdi Neijing points out that autumn and March are calm, the weather is urgent and the air is refreshing. Go to bed early and get up early, and have fun with chickens; Tranquilizing the nerves and delaying autumn punishment; Convergence calms autumn; Without ambition, the lungs are clear; This autumn air should be the way to keep in good health. On the contrary, it will hurt the lungs, have diarrhea in winter, and few people serve Tibet. The three months of autumn are the season when everything matures and harvests. At this time, the weather is already cold, and the human body should make its will comfortable and quiet to reduce the impact of the cold climate in autumn on human health. Autumn qi is closely related to the lungs. In order to make the body adapt to the autumn climate and prevent autumn dryness from damaging lung qi, it is necessary to recuperate and nourish the lungs to adapt to the dry autumn climate. Autumn is a critical moment for health preservation. If you don't pay attention to health in autumn, your lungs will be damaged, and diseases such as indigestion and diarrhea will come to you in winter; It will also weaken human immunity and make people sick because they don't adapt to the cold in winter. Drying is the main air in autumn. Autumn air lacks moisture, and the climate is often dry, which makes people prone to autumn dryness. Dryness is easy to hurt the lungs, and the lungs lose fluid and moisten, and the function of promoting hair growth and relieving depression will be affected, resulting in symptoms of lung dryness such as dry cough, short breath, dry nose, dry mouth and thirst. If the lungs are covered with fur, if the lungs lose moisture, it can affect the fur of external organs, and there will be dry symptoms, such as dry skin, dull hair and dry stool. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain a certain humidity in autumn. In terms of diet, foods that prevent dryness, nourish yin, nourish kidney and moisten lung should be the main ones. Don't eat lungs in autumn, and the lung qi is high in autumn, so it is not suitable for tonic. (1) Prevent autumn dryness and pathogenic factors from hurting people, which is easy to hurt body fluids. When the body fluid is exhausted, dryness will appear, which is manifested as dry mouth, dry lips, dry nose, dry throat, dry tongue, dry stool, dry skin and even chapped skin. The lung likes moistening but hates dryness, and the function of the lung will inevitably be affected, resulting in a series of autumn dryness symptoms such as dry nasopharynx, hoarseness, dry cough and less phlegm, thirst and constipation. How to nourish yin and prevent dryness? Hu Sihui, a physician in the Yuan Dynasty, said in "Eating while Eating is Right": Autumn is dry, so it is appropriate to eat and moisten it. In autumn, you should eat more soft foods such as sesame, honey, tremella and vegetables, as well as fruits rich in water such as pears, grapes and bananas to nourish yin and moisten the lungs. Early to bed and early to rise in daily life. Going to bed early can nourish yin and get up early to breathe fresh air, thus relaxing the lungs and filling the body with body fluid and energy. (2) There are six solar terms from beginning of autumn to early autumn frost. At this time, the heat has not passed, and it has rained a lot in autumn. At this time, it is necessary to prevent dampness and yin, and the spleen yang is trapped, causing edema or diarrhea. If the spleen is injured by moisture in early autumn, the root of chronic bronchitis and other diseases will be planted in winter, so it is also very important to prevent moisture in autumn. The main methods of preventing dampness are eliminating dampness and resolving stagnation, regulating stomach and strengthening spleen. Such as lotus seeds, coix seed, wax gourd, lotus root, yam and so on. (3) Anti-thief wind In autumn, the climate is changeable, the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, and the heat and cold are abnormal, which often makes people unprepared. It's disgusting that thieves often take advantage of it. The autumn night is breezy, and some people like to sleep with the window open. When sleeping, the immune function of the human body is reduced, and when the cool wind blows up the dust on the ground, bacteria and viruses will take advantage of it, which is called thief wind in Chinese medicine. Attacked by thieves at night, the whole body aches and fatigue the next day, and it can also cause pharyngitis, tracheitis, mouth and eyes askew, facial paralysis and so on. On the one hand, pay attention to dressing and covering, and don't cut clothes at will; On the other hand, don't put on cotton-padded clothes too early, it will freeze in autumn to prevent thieves. (4) Anti-autumn depression and late autumn, the wind and rain are miserable, and the trees and leaves are falling, which makes people feel that the change of seasons is easy to be anxious. At the bottom of the human brain, there is a gland called pineal gland, which can secrete melatonin, making people depressed and depressed. After autumn, the pineal gland relatively secretes melatonin, and people's mood is correspondingly low and negative. How to prevent autumn depression? First of all, don't break the rules of life at will. If you are in a bad mood, what should you do or what you must do. Secondly, we should eat more high-protein foods, such as milk, eggs, pork, mutton and beans. We should also take part in some healthy recreational activities, such as singing and dancing. Autumn is suitable for mountaineering, and it is the golden season for mountaineering activities. Surrounded by mountains, between heaven and earth, it can enhance the human body's breathing and blood circulation functions. Autumn health and dietotherapy four supplements (1) porridge is suitable for cough and asthma due to lung dryness, cough and asthma due to kidney deficiency, soreness of waist and knees, impotence and nocturnal emission, frequent urination and dry stool. Walnut porridge: take 20 grams of walnut kernel and 0/00 grams of japonica rice/kloc. Wash the japonica rice, add appropriate amount of sugar, add water and bring to a boil, and simmer until cooked. This recipe has the functions of moistening lung, relieving cough, tonifying kidney, solidifying essence and relaxing bowels. (2) Soups are suitable for dizziness, forgetfulness, soreness of waist and knees, premature graying of hair, dry cough and less phlegm caused by lung yin deficiency, dry skin and dry stool caused by spleen and stomach yin deficiency. The diet should be light and refreshing, eat less irritating food, and don't have to prefer sweet, sour and salty. Spicy and fragrant products such as scallion, ginger, star anise, pepper, etc., which are harmful to body fluid due to heat, should not be eaten more. Hot food such as mutton, dog meat, smoked food and fried food should be avoided. (3) Laughing often is a kind of fitness exercise, which can stretch chest muscles and increase vital capacity. Chinese medicine believes that laughter can spread lung qi, regulate the rise and fall of human qi, eliminate fatigue and restore physical strength. Make the lungs inhale enough clear air, exhale turbid air, accelerate blood circulation, and harmonize heart, lung, qi and blood. (4) The external beauty of moisturizing skin is expressed through skin and hair. The superficial fur is not only the barrier of the lung, but also the inside and outside of the lung. Autumn dryness first damages fur, making it obscure and ugly. If the fur is kept moist and clean, the appearance will be beautiful, the hair will be smooth, the blood circulation will be promoted, and the qi and blood in the lungs will be smooth, thus playing a role in benefiting the lungs. Conclusion: These methods can help you spend this autumn comfortably, without the trouble of respiratory diseases. Remember these and share them with your friends.
