Wonderful use of autumn fruit
Apple: Fruit juice can stop diarrhea, eat on an empty stomach can cure constipation, and eat after meals can help digestion. But apples are rich in sugar and potassium salt, which is not conducive to heart and kidney health care. People with coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, nephritis and diabetes should not eat more.
Pear: It has the functions of relieving cough, resolving phlegm and clearing dryness, and has a good effect on treating cough and asthma, wind-heat and pharyngitis. Because of cold, spleen and stomach deficiency cold, there is clear saliva in the mouth, loose stool should eat carefully. Because of the high sugar content, overeating will raise blood sugar, so diabetics eat less.
Citrus: contains a large amount of carotene, which is converted into vitamin A after entering the blood, and accumulates in the body, leading to yellowing of the skin, resulting in "carrot disease", commonly known as "orange disease", followed by nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, general weakness and other comprehensive symptoms. After suffering from "orange disease", we should adapt to eating more vegetable oil and drinking more water to accelerate its dissolution, transformation and excretion.
Persimmon: It contains a lot of vitamins A, C and tannic acid. It is nutritious and has the effects of lowering blood pressure, stopping bleeding, clearing away heat and moistening intestines, moistening lung and promoting fluid production. However, it contains a lot of persimmon phenol and pectin, which will condense into fibrous masses when it meets gastric acid, that is, "stomach persimmon stone", which will lead to epigastric pain and indigestion. Causal glue has astringent effect, so people with constipation should not eat it. It should not be taken on an empty stomach, nor should it be eaten with crabs and sweet potatoes, otherwise it is more likely to produce stomach persimmons.
Water chestnuts and water chestnuts: Many people eat water chestnuts with their mouths and chew their skins. If they eat water chestnuts raw, they will easily get Jiang Ye's disease without disinfection and sterilization. Ginger worm's body is thick, and it looks like cut ginger under the microscope. After entering the human body, it parasitizes in the small intestine, leading to malnutrition, emaciation and anemia, which is more harmful to children. Moreover, both of them are cold and slippery, and the average person should not eat more. Deficiency of spleen and stomach, diarrhea in loose stool and deficiency of kidney yang can't be eaten.
Chestnut: containing starch, protein, crude fiber and various vitamins, it is sweet and mild, sweet and delicious, and has the reputation of "king of thousands of fruits" and "woody food". Chestnut has the effects of invigorating qi and kidney, invigorating spleen and liver, and regulating stomach and intestines. Traditional Chinese medicine calls it "kidney fruit", which is especially suitable for patients with kidney disease. But chestnuts are solid, which are difficult to digest when eaten raw, and cooked food is easy to accumulate food, so it is not easy to eat more at a time. It has the effect of calming the intestines and stopping diarrhea. Constipation patients should avoid eating, otherwise the symptoms will be aggravated.
Four defenses in autumn
First, it is cool in autumn to prevent colds. When the temperature drops in autumn, it often turns cold suddenly, which is the season most prone to catching a cold. So when the weather is cold, we should pay attention to keep warm and add clothes in time. If we often wash our face and nose with cold water, it will also help to prevent colds.
Second, autumn freezing is over-protected. As the saying goes, spring covers autumn. It is an exercise for the body to withstand the cold test properly in autumn, which can enhance the body's resistance to diseases. But once the head is frozen, it will be counterproductive, which will not only bring benefits to the body, but also bring many diseases, such as colds, arthritis, bronchitis and digestive tract diseases. Old people also have strokes due to vasoconstriction and high blood pressure.
Third, prevent chapping in autumn. After autumn, the weather is getting dry, and people's hands, feet and face will become rough if they don't pay attention to protection, and the skin elasticity will become smaller, leading to chapping. So don't use alkaline soap to wash your face and feet, and choose appropriate skin care products to protect your skin.
Fourth, eat fruit to prevent autumn dysentery. There are many fruits and bacteria in autumn. If you don't pay attention to hygiene when eating fruits and vegetables, you will easily suffer from dysentery, causing abdominal pain, diarrhea and vomiting. Therefore, we should pay attention to cleaning and disinfection when eating melons and fruits, and don't eat moldy melons and fruits to prevent diseases from entering the mouth.

In addition, the increase of allergic substances in late autumn caused by dead grass leaves is also an important cause of the disease, so it is necessary to find out the allergens that cause asthma attacks and try to avoid contact.
Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases: Autumn is the season of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Cold will cause coronary artery spasm, directly affect the blood supply of the heart itself, and induce angina pectoris or myocardial infarction. Therefore, patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases should insist on taking drugs to treat coronary heart disease or hypertension in autumn, regularly check ECG and blood pressure, and actively prevent diseases that may aggravate cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as colds.
Diarrhea: When the weather is cool in autumn, people's appetite increases, and they are prone to overeating, which leads to increased gastrointestinal burden, dysfunction, large temperature difference between day and night, easy to cause abdominal cold, or induce colon allergy, so as to enhance intestinal peristalsis and lead to diarrhea.
