1, Top Ten Health Taboos in Autumn
1. disease-free tonic
Not only increased expenses, but also hurt yourself. If you take too much cod liver oil, it will lead to poisoning. If you take glucose for a long time, it will cause obesity, increase blood cholesterol and easily induce cardiovascular diseases.
2. envy tonic
It is believed that the higher the drug price, the better the health. Ginseng is expensive and a tonic medicine, so many people take it. However, it should be noted that people who overuse it will have symptoms such as excessive excitement, irritability, high blood pressure and nostril bleeding.
Step 3 ignore reality
The treatment principle of traditional Chinese medicine is to replenish deficiency. It does not mean that patients with asthenia should not use tonics. Deficiency is divided into yin deficiency, yang deficiency, qi deficiency and blood deficiency. Only the right medicine can make up the body, otherwise it will be counterproductive. Chinese medicine says, "deficiency does not make up." If the body is weak, it will be too much to supplement the body directly, and it should be supplemented step by step.
4. The more the better.
Excessive use of any tonic will be harmful, so it should be moderate.
5. Take medicine as food
It is unscientific to emphasize medicine over food, and medicine tonic is not as effective as food tonic.
6. Every supplement must be meat.
Animal food is undoubtedly a good tonic. It is not only nutritious, but also delicious. However, meat is not easy to digest and absorb. If you eat too much for a long time, you will often be overwhelmed by the elderly whose gastrointestinal function has declined. Some "by-products" in the process of meat digestion, such as excessive lipids and sugars, are often the causes of common diseases and frequently-occurring diseases in the elderly, such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and cancer. A light diet is not without supplements, especially vegetables. Modern nutrition believes that fresh fruits and vegetables contain a variety of vitamins and trace elements, which are essential nutrients for human body.
7. Take medicine as food
It is unscientific to value medicine over food. I don't know that many foods are also therapeutic drugs. Eating more shepherd's purse can treat hypertension; Eating more radishes can strengthen the stomach, promote digestion, flatten the chest, resolve phlegm and relieve cough; Eating more yam can replenish the spleen and stomach. Daily consumption of walnuts, peanuts, red dates, lentils, lotus roots, etc. It is also a good supplement.
8. Reentry and light export
With the improvement of people's living standards, many families have meat and fish every day, and the food is greasy. The acidic toxic substances produced by the metabolism of these foods need to be discharged in time, and the accelerated pace of life makes many people have irregular defecation and even constipation. Therefore, health experts put forward a new concept of paying attention to "negative nutrition", that is, paying attention to the discharge of human excreta, reducing the retention and absorption of "enterotoxin", and advocating timely and unobstructed defecation while supplementing.
9. The fixed salary remains unchanged.
Some people like to take some tonic according to their own tastes, and then they have changed from being unchanged for many years to "partial eclipse" and "overeating", which is not good for their health. Because drugs and food not only have health care and therapeutic effects, but also have certain side effects, long-term use will affect the nutritional balance in the body. Especially for the elderly, not only the functions of various organs have declined to varying degrees, but also they need comprehensive and systematic conditioning, and different seasons also have different demands for health care drugs and food. Therefore, it is very necessary to adjust according to different situations, and it is impossible to make up for it in the same way.
10. The difference between high and low
Rare things are precious. Those noble traditional foods, such as bird's nest and shark's fin, actually have no peculiar dietotherapy function, while very common foods such as sweet potatoes and onions have dietotherapy value worthy of attention. In addition, all dietotherapy has certain objects and indications, so the medicated diet should be determined according to the needs, and what is missing and what is supplemented. Don't divide high and low, especially the elderly, but take practical low price as the principle.
2. How to maintain health in autumn
1, early to bed and early to rise
In autumn, Yin Qi in nature turns from catharsis to convergence and closure; When the climate turns cold in autumn, we should pay attention to going to bed early to adapt to the collection of yin essence and getting up early to adapt to the relaxation of yang spirit. Getting up early and doing some morning exercises properly can not only breathe some fresh air, promote the discharge of turbid gas in the body and promote metabolism, but also be conducive to the exercise of limb function activities and contribute to the health of the body.
2. Appropriate "autumn freezing"
When I go to Qiu Lai in summer, the autumn wind blows my face. Although it is cold but not cold, people can bear it, so they might as well do some exercise to adapt to climate change. "Autumn freezing" refers to "not busy adding clothes in autumn", consciously freezing the body to avoid sweating, sweat evaporation, loss of body fluid and yang leakage due to wearing too many clothes; However, "autumn freezing" should be decided according to the weather changes, on the premise that you don't feel too cold. You should pay attention to keep warm in late autumn. The temperature has plummeted, so we need to add clothes.
3. Quiet and refreshing
Autumn grass leaves, flowers and trees wither, autumn wind and autumn rain easily make people feel depressed, desolate and depressed; Old people are prone to depression and sentimentality; At this time, you should listen to more music, calm down and study, chat with your good friends and go for a walk outside to relieve your depressed mood. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that people must keep their minds calm in autumn. In order to reduce the influence of cold on the human body, we should pay attention to constant convergence in order to achieve a state of peace of mind.
Step 4 Exercise properly
Autumn is a good time for exercise. In autumn, the yin and yang of the human body are in a state of convergence and nourishment. Exercise and health preservation should also conform to this principle. It is not advisable to do too much exercise to prevent sweat loss and yang loss. You can choose hiking, jogging, doing morning exercises and other sports. After the weather turns cold, you can appropriately increase the amount of exercise.
5, skin care
With the cold weather, people's skin can't adapt to this change immediately, blood circulation slows down, skin is easy to dry, and fine wrinkles appear, especially around the eyes. Therefore, in autumn, in addition to drinking more water and eating some foods containing vitamin E, such as walnuts and sesame seeds, we should pay more attention to skin care. Honey, milk, etc. , but also pay attention to keep a happy mood. The balance between hormone secretion and autonomic nerve can be directly reflected on the skin due to emotional changes.
