After the cool autumn, the temperature difference between day and night changes greatly, which is the high incidence season of spleen and stomach diseases, especially for patients with ulcers. At this time, special attention should be paid to regulating the spleen and stomach. Especially those suffering from chronic gastritis or duodenal ulcer, we should pay special attention to the warmth of the stomach, add clothes at the right time, and cover the bedding at night to prevent stomach pain or aggravate old diseases caused by abdominal cold. In terms of diet, people after beginning of autumn should not eat more cold food or cold and unclean fruit. The folk proverb "Autumn melons are bad for the stomach" means that beginning of autumn will continue to eat a lot of fruits and vegetables raw in the future, which will easily lead to acute and chronic gastrointestinal diseases such as diarrhea, dysentery and loose stool. Therefore, experts remind people that after beginning of autumn, we should be careful to eat melons, especially those with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold. Patients with digestive tract diseases should generally eat less and more meals in autumn, and eat more cooked, soft, appetizing and digestible foods to reduce the intake of greasy food. In addition, in order to enhance the immune function and cold resistance of various tissues and organs of the body, many people are used to doing outdoor sports in autumn, and according to the principle of "covering spring and freezing autumn", they should add as little clothes as possible in autumn. Experts believe that "autumn freezing" has its reasons, but people must not be too greedy. The temperature is low in autumn morning and evening, so clothes should be increased or decreased according to the outdoor temperature change. When exercising, you should take off too many clothes after your body is hot; Don't wear sweaty clothes and stay in the cold wind after exercise to prevent your body from catching cold.
2. Avoid being too dry
The increasingly dry climate in autumn will make people's skin and mouth crack, dry mouth and throat, and hoarse voice. Some people will also have a series of symptoms such as increased hair loss, thirst and constipation, commonly known as "autumn dryness". If the human body's resistance drops, it is easy to cause respiratory mucosa to be stimulated by cold and heat, which makes people catch a cold and causes respiratory diseases such as tonsillitis, tracheitis and pneumonia. In addition, the symptoms of patients with chronic bronchitis and asthma are often more serious at this time. Therefore, special attention should be paid to nourishing yin and moistening the lungs in autumn. From the perspective of Chinese medicine, in addition to maintaining indoor temperature and humidity, people can choose some health products and Chinese medicines with the functions of nourishing yin and moistening dryness to regulate their bodies, such as American ginseng, bird's nest, oviductus ranae, Adenophora adenophora, Ophiopogon japonicus, Dendrobium nobile and Polygonatum odoratum. American ginseng is bitter and slightly sweet, and has the functions of benefiting qi and nourishing yin, clearing fire and promoting fluid production. It is suitable for deficiency of both qi and yin, thirst, cough due to lung deficiency, heat deficiency and irritability. Bird's nest is sweet, flat, beneficial to deficiency, nourishing yin and moistening dryness, resolving phlegm and relieving cough. Commonly used for deficiency of both lung and kidney, deficiency, tuberculosis, cough and shortness of breath. Generally speaking, medicine is better than food. In daily life, people can eat more fruits with good moisturizing effect, such as raw pear, sugarcane, water chestnut, grapefruit and loquat, or tremella, honey, sesame, soybean milk, lotus root, walnut, coix seed, peanut and spinach. You can also make lily lotus porridge, tremella rock sugar porridge and other foods.
3, avoid makeup.
Autumn is the season of tonic, but tonic is not "tonic in disorder", so we should pay attention to tonic without illness, not to mention tonic in disorder regardless of reality. An old Chinese doctor told the reporter, "The principle of Chinese medicine is to tonify deficiency, and tonics should not be used for patients who are not deficient." At the same time, deficiency can also be divided into yin deficiency, yang deficiency, qi deficiency and qi and blood deficiency, so only symptomatic medication can benefit the body, otherwise it will be counterproductive. When taking tonic, it is forbidden to eat more, because eating too much tonic is harmful. Although as the saying goes, "tonic in autumn and winter kills the tiger in spring", we should keep in mind five bogeys: one bogey is tonic without illness. Disease-free tonic not only increases expenses, but also harms yourself. If you take too much cod liver oil, it will cause poisoning, and long-term use of glucose will cause obesity. Elevated cholesterol in the blood can easily induce cardiovascular diseases; Two taboos, advocating tonic. People think that the higher the price, the better the health. Ginseng is expensive and is a tonic medicine, so more people take it. In fact, excessive service leads to excessive excitement, irritability, high blood pressure and nosebleeds; Three taboos, regardless of reality. The treatment principle of traditional Chinese medicine is to tonify deficiency, not to use tonics for patients with deficiency. Deficiency can be divided into yin deficiency, yang deficiency, qi deficiency and both qi and blood deficiency. The right medicine can be beneficial to the body, otherwise it will be counterproductive; Four taboos, the more the better. Eating too many supplements is harmful. Therefore, tonic should be appropriate; Five taboos, taking medicine as food. It is unscientific to emphasize medicine over food, and it is better to supplement food with medicine.
The key to health care is habit. Health care in autumn requires people to go to bed early, get up early and exercise regularly. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, "early to bed is good for yin, early to get up and moisten the lungs". Breathing fresh air can make your body full of body fluids and full of energy; Strengthening cold-proof exercise can exercise the body's resistance function, thus stimulating the body to gradually adapt to the cold environment, which is conducive to avoiding many diseases.
