How to maintain health in the first frost season? Emphasis is placed on moistening lung, preventing cold and protecting spleen and stomach.
The first frost is the last solar term in autumn. In meteorology, most people call the first frost in autumn as the first frost, which refers to the transitional solar term from autumn to winter, and also means that autumn is coming to an end and winter is coming. In this season, although it is still autumn, cold air often invades, leading to cold. Therefore, in the first frost season, we should pay attention to health preservation, especially to moisten the lungs and protect the spleen and stomach.

Prevent the attack of cold

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that pathogenic wind, cold and dampness are the main causes of joint pain. At the beginning of frost, the temperature drops, and the invasion of cold will lead to blood blockage and poor circulation of qi and blood. People with joint pain and joint diseases are easy to get sick because of the invasion of cold. Therefore, the elderly and women, especially women, should keep their lower limbs warm, and don't make their feet and knees cold because of the pursuit of appearance and thin clothes. Only by preventing the invasion of cold air can the blood circulation of the body be smooth and the body can operate normally.

Moisten lung and dryness.

In late autumn, dry body is easy to lack water, and skin is easy to dry and peel. At this time, it is necessary to drink more water, eat foods that moisten the lungs and dry, and improve the body's moisture. People with dry skin can use moisturizer to keep their skin moist and prevent dry skin from causing various skin diseases, such as itching and eczema.

Prevent spleen and stomach disorders

The temperature drop and the invasion of cold air can easily lead to spleen-stomach imbalance. In particular, people with chronic stomach diseases should pay attention to keeping their abdomen warm, eating lightly, and eating less cold food to prevent spleen and stomach from being damaged. When eating supplements, we should avoid over-supplementation and eat more yam, jujube, sesame, walnut, chestnuts and so on. These foods have the effects of nourishing the stomach and strengthening the spleen.

Keep a good mood.

In the first frost season, due to the temperature drop, the weather is dry, and it is easy to be agitated and the mood fluctuates greatly. Therefore, to maintain a good mood at this time, you can improve your mood, relieve your mood and stress by diverting your attention to do what you like and participating in pleasant activities beneficial to your body and mind, which can prevent physical dysfunction.

Exercise health

Moistening lungs in autumn can improve lung function. At this time, you can appropriately increase the amount of exercise. Aerobic exercises such as aerobics can relieve stress, promote body circulation and improve lung function. However, you should know that the temperature is relatively low in the morning and evening in autumn, and try to exercise in the afternoon. At this time, the sun is shining and the body is warm, so it is not easy to catch cold.

The first frost is a reminder that winter is coming, and many people are prone to problems due to physical maladjustment. Therefore, it is necessary to take protective measures, be vigilant, and make the body fully prepared to avoid discomfort and injury due to the drop in winter temperature.
