Protect the muscle surface
The lung dominates the muscle surface, and the pathogenic wind-cold is the most likely to invade the lung. Therefore, paying attention to climate change, adding clothes in time, protecting muscle surface and enhancing body resistance are the first priority of lung health care.
Nourishing dryness and moistening lung
Lung likes moistening but hates dryness, and dryness is the most harmful to lung. In autumn, we should follow the principles of "less pungent and more sour" and "preventing dryness and protecting yin", and eat more sesame, walnut, glutinous rice, honey, dairy products, tremella, radish, autumn pear, banana, lotus root, Euryale euryales and lily.
Anti-grief lung
People often grieve for autumn. In late autumn, faced with the sight of withered grass and fallen flowers and trees, vagrants and the elderly are most likely to feel sad, thus reducing their disease resistance and leading to frequent or aggravated diseases. Therefore, in autumn, we should pay special attention to maintaining inner peace to maintain lung qi.
Strengthening spleen and benefiting lung
Chinese medicine attaches great importance to invigorating the spleen and stomach and making the lungs full of qi. Therefore, people with spleen and stomach deficiency and lung deficiency should take ginseng, astragalus, yam, jujube, lotus seed, lily, licorice and other drugs and foods to replenish spleen and lung and enhance disease resistance.
Relax and spread the lung.
Chinese medicine believes that the lung and the large intestine are exterior and interior. If the conduction function of the large intestine is normal, the lung qi will decrease. If constipation is caused and lung qi is blocked, it will aggravate symptoms such as cough, asthma and chest tightness. Therefore, relaxing bowels and keeping lung qi unobstructed are important aspects of lung-benefiting health care.
