Zheng Yue, a doctor at Sijiqing Hospital in Haidian District, Beijing, said that after autumn, people's mood will be affected by the weather, which is easy to hurt spring, feel depressed and depressed. At this time, you can do more outdoor sports and travel, especially mountain climbing in autumn, which can not only enhance people's blood circulation and respiratory system functions, but also increase vital capacity and exercise the contractility of your heart. If you can't travel, you can also adjust your body and mind through diet, daily life and exercise, so that you can study, work and live better.
dietary respect
First of all, drink plenty of water: autumn is a very dry season, and the moisture in the skin evaporates quickly, which is easy to dry and peel off, and it is seriously short of water, and there will be symptoms such as cough, dry mouth and dry stool. Therefore, autumn health care should start with "moistening dryness", and a large amount of water should be added every day, and at least 2 liters of water should be drunk to ensure the daily drinking water required by body metabolism.
Secondly, eat more white food: According to China's Five Elements Theory, white enters the lungs, and eating more white food can better protect and nourish the lungs, such as pears, white radishes, lotus roots and lilies. Eating raw or stewed meat is a good choice. In addition, we should eat less spicy food, such as onions, ginger, garlic, peppers, etc., and eat more acidic food, such as oranges and grapefruit. If you encounter loss of appetite, diarrhea and abdominal distension, you can also cook porridge with red beans, coix seed and yam, which are all good tonics.
"Sticking autumn fertilizer" is a common saying handed down from ancient China. Many people think that they should eat more meat in autumn, but in fact, "sticking autumn fat" refers to people who have poor appetite in summer, and their appetite will get better in autumn, which may be fatter than autumn. In fact, you should eat less pork in autumn, especially those with gastrointestinal diseases, high blood pressure and chronic stroke. It is not advisable to eat too much, but beef and mutton can be improved appropriately, which can also enhance the body's own ability to keep out the cold.
Work and rest
Many people have irregular schedules, especially on holidays, and like to sleep late in the morning. Autumn is crisp, which should conform to the natural law of "work at sunrise and rest at sunset". Going to bed early can make the lungs stretch well, reduce the formation of early thrombosis and help prevent cerebrovascular diseases. It is normal to fall asleep at 9- 10 in autumn, and it is more appropriate to get up at 6-8 in the morning. You can also soak your feet with warm water before going to bed to help you sleep.
"Spring is chilly, autumn is chilly" is also a health vocabulary that the elderly often recite, and "autumn is chilly" does not mean that it must be frozen in autumn. You can change clothes in time according to the temperature of the day, paying special attention to the cold weather in the morning and evening to prevent colds.
sports
Autumn is neither too cold nor too hot. You can choose a quiet and pleasant environment for exercise in autumn, which is good for both body and mind. However, the exercise time is suggested to be between 7-9 am and 16- 18 in the evening. Don't be too early or too late, because the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, and staying outside for too long is easy to cause other problems.
The choice of sports is also very particular. The principle of keeping in good health in autumn is "hiding but not showing", so it is more suitable to do some soothing and quiet activities, such as yoga, meditation and walking slowly. The amount of exercise should not be too large to prevent the elderly or children with weak constitution from sweating too much and damaging the yang.
