How about autumn?
Autumn is the time when yin grows and yang disappears, so we should nourish yin. Autumn harvest is the main thing, everything converges, and lung qi should be used. Health care should be based on nourishing the lungs. If bound, it will hurt the lungs. There will be diarrhea in winter (diarrhea that does not melt after eating food), and there are few people serving Tibet (reducing the ability to adapt to winter).
Therefore, Huangdi Neijing said: In autumn and March, it is advisable to lie down early and get up early, and have fun with the chicken (work and rest with the chicken), so as to calm down and converge.
How to keep fit in winter
Everything is hidden in the soil in winter, and kidney qi should be hidden in the Lord. Health care should be based on nourishing the kidney, otherwise it will hurt the kidney and spring will be soft. Fewer students (reducing the ability to adapt to spring).
It is believed that winter is the season of storing essence, and the period from beginning of winter to beginning of spring is most suitable for winter tonic. Mainly refers to maintaining essence, strengthening body and prolonging life through diet, sleeping drugs and other means.
It is the season in beginning of winter, and the importance of tonic is self-evident, but the knowledge of tonic is lacking by many people. Li Xuewu, chief physician of the Department of Spleen and Stomach, Shaanxi Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, pointed out that the need for tonic varies from person to person. If you don't have a comprehensive understanding of your physical condition, you may make mistakes in tonic, make tonic for nothing, and even make your body uncomfortable.
Health care should be more than six and less than six.
Eat less meat and drink more milk.
Before tonic, the spleen and stomach should be in the best state to adapt to tonic. In addition to going to the hospital, we should also pay attention to supplementing some nutritious and digestible foods to strengthen the function of the spleen and stomach. Then make up for it.
Eat more dairy products, beans and fresh fruits. Eating more yam can replenish the spleen and stomach. In addition, water chestnuts and chestnuts are also good for regulating the stomach. Barbecue, roast duck and braised pork are not easy. If you eat too much, it will often be unbearable for the elderly with weakened gastrointestinal function, especially those with obesity, heart disease and hypertension.
Eat less Jiang Duo and drink less honey.
Ancient sages said that "salt water in the morning and honey soup at night" was put forward for autumn dryness, that is to say, drinking salt water during the day and honey water at night can supplement the loss of water and is a good diet therapy for nourishing health and resisting aging. At the same time, it can also prevent constipation caused by autumn dryness, which can be said to be three things at once.
Eat less spicy barbecue food in season, including pepper, pepper, cinnamon, pepper, raw ginger onion and white wine. Because these foods are hot, they are easy to get angry after eating, which aggravates the harm of autumn dryness to human body.
Use less medicine and eat more food.
When it comes to tonics, many people think of ginseng, cordyceps sinensis, bird's nest and shark's fin. Medicine tonic is not as good as food tonic, and it is not advisable to emphasize medicine over food. Because drugs and food have both therapeutic effects and certain side effects, long-term use will affect the nutritional balance in the body.
Eating more celery can prevent and treat hypertension; Eating more radishes can strengthen the stomach, promote digestion, smooth the qi, broaden the chest, eliminate phlegm and relieve cough; Eating more yam can replenish the spleen and stomach. Daily use of walnuts, peanuts, red dates, lentils, lotus roots and so on. It is also a good supplement.
Less depressed, more smiling.
Autumn leaves, windy and rainy, are easy to induce negative emotions, and "bad mood" is recognized as the "catalyst" of all diseases. The fierce competition in modern society often makes people in a state of tension and anxiety, which directly leads to the decline of physical fitness.
If tonic is such a mentality, it will greatly affect the health care effect. Learn to adjust your mentality and emotions, and solve your troubles and unhappiness in time. Change your way of thinking and realize that not everything in life requires perfection. Make more friends, be good at venting depression in time and get effective "social support". Forgive others and give yourself a chance to "relax". Getting more sunshine is not only good for your health, but also acceptable.

Good sleep can replenish energy and restore energy, and has the effect of "nourishing yin and nourishing yuan"
In order to adapt to the "winter storage", sleep time should be appropriately increased at this time. Advocate going to bed early, in order to save energy, sleep more appropriately. Of course, in the case of ensuring 8 hours of sleep at night, the nap can be reduced appropriately.
