1, after the autumnal equinox, the temperature drops rapidly, so you should add clothes to prevent colds.
There is a saying in the ancient Chinese book Spring and Autumn Stories: "The autumnal equinox is half-phase, so it is cold and summer day and night." It can be seen that the "autumnal equinox" has two meanings: first, the sun shines directly on the equator of the earth, and the 24 hours of this day are divided equally between day and night, each with 12 hours; Secondly, according to the division of seasons in ancient China, which started with beginning of spring, Changxia, beginning of autumn and beginning of winter, the autumnal equinox happened to be in the middle of 90 days in autumn, and the autumn was equally divided.
In the autumn equinox, the weather turns cold, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is large. The public should always pay attention to the weather changes, add clothes in time, and take necessary physical exercise to strengthen their physique and prevent colds and other diseases.
2. Before and after the autumnal equinox, keep the balance of Yin and Yang.
In order to keep the balance between yin and yang, we must first prevent the invasion of foreign evils. The weather is dry in autumn, and the main evil is dryness. There is residual heat before the autumnal equinox, so it is more common in warm and dry; After the autumnal equinox, bursts of autumn wind hit, causing the temperature to drop gradually and the cold to get heavier and heavier, so there was more coolness and dryness.
At the same time, the change of dryness, temperature and coolness in autumn is also related to everyone's physique and physical reaction. To prevent cold and dryness, we must persist in exercising, strengthen our physique and improve our disease resistance. Autumn exercise focuses on benefiting the lungs and moistening dryness, such as practicing breathing, chewing teeth, swallowing and moistening dryness.
3, after the autumnal equinox, the diet should be secret, avoid spicy and greasy.
Ancestral Chinese medicine also takes the balance of yin and yang as the starting point in diet conditioning, and divides the diet into appropriate and taboo, with appropriate yin and Pingyang as the secret and appropriate yin and Pingyang as the secret. Different people have different taboos. For example, for those elderly people with yin deficiency and yang hyperactivity, try to eat less hot products that can't be supplemented, and developing children can't make up too much for special reasons.
In terms of diet, we should drink more water and eat more warm foods, such as sesame seeds, walnuts, glutinous rice, honey, dairy products and pears. , can play the role of nourishing yin and moistening the lungs, nourishing yin and promoting fluid production.
People with phlegm-dampness constitution should avoid greasy food. Wood fire people avoid spicy food. Patients with asthma and skin diseases should eat less seafood such as shrimp and crab. People with a cold stomach should avoid eating cold food. No matter what kind of person, its essence should prevent the real person from being more real and the virtual person from being more virtual, which will lead to the imbalance between yin and yang.
4. After the autumnal equinox, be optimistic.
The autumnal equinox represents that we have really entered autumn. Autumn is a season when everything is silent, so it is easy for us to feel sad in this season. This is the so-called sad autumn. Therefore, in this solar term, we should be as optimistic as possible, think more about happy things, leave our troubles behind, go into nature more and keep our mood calm.
It's refreshing to choose the ancient folk custom of China to climb high in the Double Ninth Festival for body conditioning. The sudden disappearance of all negative emotions, such as depression and melancholy, is one of the methods of keeping in good health and a good medicine for regulating the spirit.
Health reminder: After the autumnal equinox, the climate is getting colder, which is the season of frequent and recurrent stomach diseases. Chinese medicine believes that the gastrointestinal tract is very sensitive to cold stimulation. If you don't take proper precautions and pay attention to your diet and daily life, it will cause gastrointestinal diseases and recur. Therefore, people with chronic stomach fire should pay special attention to the warmth of the stomach and add clothes in time.

We can cook soup with broccoli. Even if vitamin C is dissolved in the soup, we can still drink it. The way to ensure that vitamin A is not lost is to cook with vegetable oil.

Step 5: carrots
Carrot is a crisp, delicious and nutritious vegetable. In the dry season, eating some carrots can also moisturize the skin.

Vitamin A can protect the epidermis of the skin and make people's skin soft, shiny and elastic, so it is also called "beauty vitamin".
If vitamin A is lacking in the diet, it will cause dry skin, abnormal keratin metabolism and easy relaxation and aging. Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin, and it is best to stir-fry carrots.

Milk is the skin's favorite food at night. It can improve skin cell activity, delay skin aging, enhance skin tension and eliminate wrinkles.
