First of all, do a good job of keeping warm
At this time, it is necessary to put on clothes properly. Don't refuse to put on clothes just because you feel like a bear, causing various discomfort symptoms such as colds. Now when you go out, you can obviously feel that the temperature is obviously not as good as before, especially for office workers who commute by bike. At this time, our bodies are the most vulnerable, especially the following parts.
1. knee joint
Our knee joint is the body part that bears the brunt of everything we do, and it is also a very vulnerable part to cold. The knee joint looks hard, but it is actually very fragile. After catching a cold, we are very prone to chronic diseases such as rheumatism, which will drag us down for life.
Many people, especially female friends, don't like to wear thick pants in autumn and winter. A thin layer of leggings looks good with a short skirt. But it has a great influence on our knee joint. Unconsciously, our knee joint will be hurt by us. Therefore, we should protect our knees in autumn and winter and keep warm.
2. Abdomen
The first frost season is a great test for our stomach, so our abdomen should also be protected. Our abdomen is the most prone to catch cold, not only in summer, but also in autumn and winter. Friends with stomach problems should be more careful.
3. Head
Our head is a very easy part to catch cold, because at least we have clothes to protect other parts, and our head is unprotected. Cold invades our bodies most easily from our heads. Many people will feel dizzy, headache and groggy after catching a cold, which is the reaction of cold invasion. Therefore, you must protect your head when you go out. It's best not to wash your hair at night, and you must blow dry your hair before you go out.
Step 4: Feet
Our feet are the second heart of the body, and there are many important acupoints and meridians connecting the internal organs on our feet, so our feet should also keep warm.
Second, pay attention to indoor hygiene.
The dry and cold weather is beyond our control, but we can change the indoor environment.
1, keep the proper temperature. The indoor temperature should be controlled between 18-23 degrees, and it must not be too hot. Originally, we did it. The hotter the weather, the more water evaporates, and the difference between indoor temperature and outdoor temperature is large, which makes it easy to catch a cold.
2, suitable humidity, virus bacteria are more likely to reproduce under dry conditions, so keep moisturizing or humidifier, put a basin of water in the bedroom and drag it with a wet mop.
3. Strengthen ventilation. Indoor doors and windows were closed for six hours, and oxygen dropped by 20%. We work 24 hours a day. If the doors and windows are closed, you will be seriously deprived of oxygen. Therefore, it is necessary to open the window in the morning and evening 15 minutes for ventilation. On the one hand, oxygen and fresh air are sufficient, and the density of viruses and bacteria reduces the incidence of diseases.
You can put some flowers and plants in the house to moisten the air, but remember not to put them in the bedroom at night.
Third, the first frost can be made up by eating well.
In terms of diet care, we should pay attention to strengthening the spleen and nourishing the stomach, nourishing the liver and kidney, and eating more foods that strengthen the spleen, nourish yin and moisten dryness. Corn, radish, chestnut, autumn pear, lily, honey, yam, milk cabbage, beef, chicken and loach are all good.

Autumn dryness is characterized by dry mouth, dry lips, dry throat, constipation and dry skin, so you should eat more nourishing and moistening foods, such as sesame, honey, tremella, vegetables, apples and bananas.

Fourth, good psychological care can make you healthy.
Medically speaking, people also have seasonal psychological and emotional problems and are prone to depression in autumn. Why are people prone to depression in autumn and winter?
Sunshine not only brings warmth and light, but also supplements calcium, which makes people feel excited. In autumn and winter, the sunshine gradually decreases. At this time, the sun exposure time is short, and people's brain life secretes more melanin, which makes people sleepy, so seasonal mental illness appears.
So how do you spend the eventful autumn and winter? The answer is to get more sunshine. In addition, old friends should talk more, and people's mood can be improved through communication.
What should I pay attention to in the first frost health care?
Prevent autumn dryness
Drying in autumn is easy to damage body fluid, and it will appear after body fluid is consumed, which is characterized by dry mouth, dry lips, dry nose, dry throat, dry tongue, dry stool, dry skin and even chapped skin. The lung likes moistening but hates dryness, and the function of the lung will inevitably be affected, resulting in a series of autumn dryness symptoms such as dry nasopharynx, hoarseness, dry cough and less phlegm, thirst and constipation.
Anti-autumn deficiency
As the saying goes, "spring is sleepy and autumn is lacking", and autumn is easy to get tired. Many people have the habit of staying in bed. In fact, long-term sleep can easily lead to cell hypoxia in the body, which often leads to drowsiness and sometimes dizziness and nausea. Therefore, sleep time should be properly controlled at this time, and do not stay for more than 10 hour.
Prevention of autumn depression
In late autumn, the wind and rain are miserable, the plants and trees are dead, and people feel the change of seasons and are prone to anxiety. At the bottom of the human brain, there is a gland called pineal gland, which can secrete melatonin, making people depressed and depressed. After autumn, the pineal gland relatively secretes melatonin, and people's mood is correspondingly low and negative.
Prevent catching a cold
The weather changes in different seasons, and diseases such as colds and coughs are high. Pay attention to cold and warmth every day, and go out in the morning and evening to avoid catching a cold. Patients with some diseases, such as gastrointestinal diseases, hypertension and cerebrovascular sclerosis, need to keep a good mood and reduce going out appropriately.
Beware of thief wind
The temperature difference between morning and evening in autumn is large, and the heat and cold are abnormal, which often makes people unprepared. Thief wind often takes advantage of the situation and makes people sick, which is called thief wind in Chinese medicine. Affected by thief wind, people often feel sore all over, tired and weak, and can also cause pharyngitis, tracheitis, mouth and eyes askew, facial paralysis and so on.
