Today is a hot summer, and it is recorded in the 24 solar terms that' the hot summer ends here'. After the summer heat, the climate and air temperature will change obviously, and the climate will turn from hot to cold and from wet to dry, so it is necessary to adjust the diet and conditioning in time, otherwise it is easy to get sick.

I'll explain it in detail today.

Being in the summer heat means "getting out of the summer heat", which means that as soon as the summer heat goes away, the climate will change from damp to warm and dry. In this climate, it is necessary to strike a balance between eliminating dampness and nourishing yin, so as to eliminate dampness without hurting body fluids and moistening dryness without generating dampness.

After the intense heat, nature calms down and converges, because everything is mature.

"Su Wen Si Qi Diao Ling" says: "Autumn qi should be cultivated." It means that the focus of autumn is to converge the yang.

1. Should we get rid of dampness or nourish yin after summer heat?

After summer, the weather gradually became dry. Drying is the main air in autumn. Lung likes dampness and hates dryness, and dryness is easy to hurt lung. If the lungs are not nourished and the lung yin is damaged, it is easy to have dry mouth and nasopharynx, dry skin, dry cough without phlegm, or sticky phlegm.

Some people tend to have spleen deficiency, especially after a whole spring and summer, when dampness is trapped in the spleen soil, and the spleen and stomach are tired and cannot transport water and dampness, it will condense into phlegm and block the pipeline. Phlegm goes against qi, and when it is committed in the lungs, it will cough. At this time, some people will stop coughing and treat the symptoms rather than the root cause. The key to conditioning is to eliminate dampness and strengthen the spleen.

Simply put, during the season change, you can do this:

1, when the body is wet, remove it first:

Now the climate is not as humid as it used to be in spring and summer, so the intensity of dehumidification does not need to be too strong. You can use milder dehumidifying ingredients to make porridge and soup, such as Euryale ferox, five-finger peach and lotus seed.

Thick and greasy tongue coating, smooth tongue surface, fat tongue body and teeth marks; Or the stool is not shaped, the stool is sticky, diarrhea and other symptoms. It is suggested that there is obvious dryness and dampness in the body, and some therapeutic prescriptions can be given to eliminate dampness. For the lighter ones, Sixing Decoction, Wuxing Decoction and Jianxia Decoction can be used.

2, there is no obvious moisture in the body:

When the tongue coating and stool are normal and there is no obvious moisture in the body, nourishing yin and promoting fluid production can be added to the diet, such as lotus root, lily, tremella and other ingredients, which can be given to Anqiu prescription (see the end of the article for the therapeutic prescription).

In addition, eat less spicy food.

After the heat, you should help the sun be the spirit consciously.

Autumn harvest and convergence are the key points of autumn conditioning. Convergence refers to convergence of yang, helping to recover yang and preserving yang.

After the summer heat, the yang disappears and the yin grows in nature, and the yang receives the yin dew.

Corresponding to nature, the yin and yang in the human body will also change, and the yang will be gradually recovered.

Specific how to "convergence", you can do the following things:

1, Xianfeng Han before converging attack on Yang:

Help suppress yang, first dispel the cold trapped in the body in summer.

It's hot in summer, so it's very serious to blow air conditioning for a long time and eat cold drinks and food. If you don't pioneer the cold before the yang is suppressed, you will trap the cold evil in your body, which will make your constitution more deficient and cold. There are many ways to drive away the cold in dog days. After summer, you can take it outdoors to bask in the sun, back and feet every morning from 8: 00 to 9: 00. You can also exercise more and sweat away colds.

2. The best way to gather yang is sleep: I often emphasize that food supplement is not as good as sleep supplement. After sleeping, the yang will gradually recover from the body.

People who insist on going to bed early and getting up early will not get sick so easily in autumn.

3. Add "acid" to the diet appropriately:

Su Wen on the Method of Dirty Qi says: "The lung governs autumn ... the lung converges, and when eating acid, it is harvested urgently, supplemented with acid, and diarrhea". It means that sour food helps to lower lung qi, suppress lung qi, strengthen the function of nourishing yin and suppressing yang, and make the transformation of yin and yang smooth and peaceful.

4. The key to astringing Yang lies in strengthening the spleen:

Spleen is the source of qi and blood biochemistry. When spleen and soil are healthy, qi and blood will be sufficient and yang will be strong.

Therefore, the key to astringent yang lies in strengthening the spleen. Parents should still insist on "10 seconds to judge digestion" every day, control diet and reduce food accumulation. If the tongue coating, breathing, defecation and sleep are abnormal, Samsung Decoction should be used in time to help digestion and guide stagnation.

When you digest well, you should actively strengthen the spleen. You can use Baizhu bergamot soup, which is a daily recipe for strengthening the spleen and can be used all year round.

Reasonable pasting of autumn fertilizer

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that autumn is dry, so it is not advisable to eat more fat and fried food to prevent "getting angry" and indigestion.

Moderate exercise

Summer and solar terms, the weather turns cool and the autumn is crisp, which is a good season for exercise. At this time, more exercise can not only regulate the heart and nourish the lungs, improve the function of internal organs, but also help to enhance their own resistance.

From humid and sultry summer to autumn, the climate suddenly dries up, and some dryness and heat easily accumulate in the human body, causing symptoms such as dry throat, shortness of breath, nosebleed and dry stool. Coupled with the loss of water during exercise, it will aggravate the water shortage of the human body.

Therefore, when exercising, you must not ignore hydration, and pay attention to the principle of drinking slowly and repeatedly.

At the same time, from inactivity in summer to activity in autumn, it is still necessary to grasp the degree, not the more exercise, the better. Autumn is the stage when the human body's essence is in convergence and internal nourishment. The amount of exercise should not be too large, so don't sweat a lot to prevent the loss of yang due to excessive sweating.

Should choose relaxed and gentle, little exercise projects, such as jogging, walking, mountain climbing, Tai Ji Chuan and so on. , and timely and moderately. This will not lose vitality because of excessive sweating, but also stretch muscles and improve physical fitness.

Jianpi Qushi

For a long time after the summer heat, the temperature is still high, rainy days increase, rainy days are still more, and the weather is sultry. Therefore, attention should be paid to heatstroke prevention and dehumidification in the near future to protect the spleen and stomach. Don't be greedy at night, and don't eat more cold drinks.

After the summer heat, many people often have clinical manifestations of spleen and stomach weakness, such as fatigue and loss of appetite. Therefore, we should pay attention to regulating the spleen and stomach, expelling the evil of damp-heat in the body, promoting the recovery of spleen and stomach function, and preparing for health preservation in winter.
