Beginning of autumn should "converge" on moistening lung and regulating spirit.
On August 7th, beginning of autumn in the 24 solar terms will be ushered in. At this point, it is still in the dog days. The weather is mainly hot and dry, and some people are prone to dry mouth, dry nose and dry throat. In this regard, Su Chunzhi, director of the Department of Hepatology, Hebei Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that at this time, health care should be nursed back to health to make the yang converge; Pay attention to diet, nourish yin and moisten dryness to avoid dryness; Regulate the spirit, make the mind calm and the mind peaceful.

Daily life: Go to bed early and get up early to recuperate.

Su Chunzhi said that after beginning of autumn, you should go to bed early and get up early in your daily life, nourish yin and moisten your lungs, and breathe more fresh air to make your body full of body fluid and energy.

It's getting cold in autumn, so it's not advisable to add too much clothes too early. With the deepening of the cool autumn, it is necessary to gradually increase clothes, properly prevent the body from freezing, and let the body gradually adapt to climate change peacefully and smoothly. If you add clothes too early and too much, it will easily lead to sweating, damage to body fluid and damage to yang, which is not conducive to the accumulation of yang and reduces the adaptability of human body to climate.

Diet: less spicy and sour, moistening and nourishing the lungs.

The climate in autumn is relatively dry. Too dry can easily lead to the loss of body fluid, resulting in dry mouth, dry nose, dry throat, dry skin and other problems; Attacking the lungs with dryness is easy to cause colds, coughs and even asthma. Therefore, moistening dryness and nourishing lungs has become the key to diet conditioning this season.

In the diet, according to the dryness of the warm and cool, you can eat the corresponding moistening products to reconcile. Such as longan meat, tremella, honey, pears and so on. It is advisable to eat less pungent taste and more sour taste to replenish liver qi, such as tomatoes and Ziziphus jujuba seeds, which can enter and nourish the liver. However, if the lung qi is unclear and the nose is ignorant, you can eat irritating things such as ginger and green onions to make the lung qi diverge. However, some spicy foods and spices, such as pepper and pepper, should not be eaten more.

Su Chunzhi pointed out that scientific drinking water is the easiest way to alleviate "autumn dryness". Drinking water is not only a good way to replenish human body's water, but also a good diet in autumn, and can also prevent constipation caused by autumn dryness. But when drinking water, you need to pay attention to a small amount of frequent drinking, and don't drink too much at one breath.

In addition, Su Chunzhi reminded that attention should also be paid to preventing "autumn melons and rotten stomachs". If you continue to eat a lot of fruits and vegetables raw in autumn, it will easily lead to gastrointestinal health problems such as diarrhea. People with weak spleen and stomach should consciously control the amount of fruits and vegetables they eat and protect their stomachs.

Exercise: Action is peaceful, gentle and quiet.

In autumn, the sun is setting, and the weather turns from warm to cool. When you exercise, you should gradually close the yang, and the amplitude should be slow. Don't exercise blindly, don't sweat a lot to hurt Yang, waste lung qi and hinder the convergence of Yang qi.

Su Chunzhi said that you can do some relaxing and gentle exercise with less activity. In this way, you will not lose energy because of sweating, but also stretch your muscles and improve your physical fitness. Such as jogging, Tai Ji Chuan, Baduanjin, walking and mountain climbing. In addition, besides sports, you can also play the piano, draw pictures and relax.

Emotion: convergence, calm.

"Quiet is idle, and leisure is quiet." Su Chunzhi said that lung qi deficiency reduces the body's tolerance to bad stimuli and makes it easy to get upset and sad. In order to adapt to the characteristics of autumn, we must follow the principle of "nourishing and harvesting", that is, we must constantly converge our spirit, from excitement to tranquility, from activity to peace, so as to keep our minds from getting out of control and maintain spiritual peace.

In addition, in autumn, people not only have the joy of harvest, but also will inevitably be moved by the scene before them, resulting in a sense of loss of "to see the sun, for all his glory, buried by the coming night". So we should pay attention to learn to adjust ourselves. Stay optimistic, keep inner peace, and appropriately extend the night sleep time; Actively communicate with others, engage in outdoor activities, and establish a positive and optimistic attitude. Sunbathing and supplementing foods rich in vitamin B also help to improve your mood.
