The arrival of the autumnal equinox means the change of seasons, and the weather turns from hot to cold. But our human body doesn't change so fast, so it is easy to cough, which is what Chinese medicine calls "lung heat". In TCM health preservation, the first step to prevent lung heat is to adjust work and rest. In TCM health care, daytime is the symbol of yang, while night is the symbol of yin. Therefore, the most important step of TCM health care in the autumn equinox season is the law of work and rest, going to bed early and getting up early, and going to bed early at night, otherwise the dryness in the body will be difficult to eliminate.
Chinese medicine pays attention to dietotherapy, so it is necessary to eat some nourishing food to help reduce autumn dryness and clear lung heat at the autumn equinox. When the autumnal equinox comes, you can cook tremella lotus seed soup, and of course you can add some ribs to make the soup more nutritious. You can choose auricularia auricula and carrot as the vegetables you usually eat. These vegetables have the effect of clearing away lung heat and are suitable for keeping in good health at the autumn equinox. Eating less fruits such as oranges is easy to get angry and is not suitable for autumn.
At the same time, we should maintain a peaceful attitude and an optimistic and calm attitude. Chinese medicine pays attention to health preservation. At the autumnal equinox, the climate is dry, the autumn wind rises, and the leaves are yellow. The scene is inevitably bleak. People who watch such scenes can easily lead to qi stagnation, especially the elderly, who are easy to get emotional and dry. Therefore, you must keep a good attitude, stay calm, don't get too excited, and don't always feel depressed. You should exercise properly and let your body dry out.
