What should I pay attention to in autumn health care?
1, take less bath after Mid-Autumn Festival.
The Mid-Autumn Festival has passed and the weather has obviously cooled down, but many people still insist on taking a bath every day. As the days of exposure go further and further, many people who have been exposed to sunscreen for a summer feel that they can finally be liberated now. Actually, this is a misunderstanding. After entering autumn, you can reduce the number of baths. On windy days, if you take too many baths, you will wash off the protective grease on your body surface.
2. Health care in Sanqiu has its own emphasis.
The changeable climate in autumn is a period of high incidence of some diseases, and people's mood is extremely unstable, so there is a saying of "eventful autumn". Autumn can be divided into three stages: early autumn, mid-autumn and late autumn. The climate in each stage has its own characteristics, so medical care should take different countermeasures with the climate change.
Early autumn-hot and humid, heatstroke prevention and cooling should continue. As the saying goes, "the heat is in the dog days", and the dog days are generally behind beginning of autumn. So in early autumn, the summer heat has not disappeared, and the weather is still very hot, so it is called "autumn tiger". The weather is characterized by being wet and hot. Traditional Chinese medicine calls this period "long summer", and the main qi of the evil of "six evils" in long summer is "dampness". Therefore, health care in this period still needs to pay attention to heatstroke prevention and cooling, replenish water in time, and especially pay attention to preventing damp heat and cold dampness from invading the body.
Mid-autumn festival-nourishing yin should prevent dryness, moisten the lungs and benefit the stomach. After the "White Dew", there is less and less rain, the weather is dry, the day is hot and the night is cool. The climate in this period is characterized by "dryness", which is the most likely to hurt the lungs and stomach, so the focus of health care is to nourish yin and prevent dryness, moisten the lungs and benefit the stomach. During this period, people's sweat evaporates quickly, so there are often symptoms such as dry skin, increased wrinkles, dry mouth and throat, dry cough and less phlegm, hair loss and constipation. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain a certain humidity indoors, and at the same time pay attention to supplementing water to avoid the loss of essence and body fluid caused by strenuous exercise and overwork.
Late autumn-anti-dryness and cold, optimistic and upward. As the saying goes: "an autumn rain is a cold." After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the autumn wind blows gently, the weather turns cold, even the temperature drops sharply, and the cold wave strikes, which is most likely to cause chronic bronchitis, emphysema, wind-cold-dampness arthralgia, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, the focus of health care is to prevent the injury of dryness and evil, prevent the injury of cold and evil, and pay attention to cold-resistant exercise. However, the elderly and people with various chronic diseases should pay attention to cold and warmth to prevent "freezing" illness. Special attention should be paid to regulating emotions, avoiding bad mental stimulation, cultivating optimism and maintaining inner peace.
