What should middle-aged and elderly people pay attention to in autumn health diet?
1. Prevent excessive tonic. Traditional Chinese medicine should follow the principles of "deficiency makes up for it, but in fact it makes up for it" and "deficiency makes up for it". Anything missing in the body can be supplemented, but it must be supplemented to a certain extent, otherwise it will also cause imbalance between yin and yang in the human body. At the same time, we should know that medicine tonic is not as good as food tonic, which is a three-point poison of medicine. If you can use food tonic, don't use medicine tonic.

2. Prevent excess heat energy. When some people arrive in autumn, their appetite increases greatly, which often leads to excessive calorie intake and fat accumulation, and they begin to "paste autumn fat". Because obesity will bring many diseases, you should not indulge your appetite in autumn diet, so you should pay attention to the right amount.

Third, pay attention to balanced nutrition. "Dietary Guide for China Residents" points out that foods should be diverse, mainly cereals, and at the same time, they should be matched with each other in thickness. A single food cannot provide comprehensive nutrition for the human body. For example, cereals mainly provide heat energy and vitamin b1; Beans and bean products are mainly supplied to protein; Vegetables and fruits mainly supply vitamin C, inorganic salts and dietary fiber; Animal food mainly supplies high-quality protein, fat and vitamins.

Fourth, avoid digestive tract diseases. In autumn, the weather turns from hot to cold. In order to adapt to this change, the physiological metabolism of the human body also changes. Ancient doctors in China put forward the view that "autumn should be warm", that is to say, in autumn, we should avoid eating cold food and eat more warm food, which is conducive to protecting the gastrointestinal tract and preventing gastrointestinal diseases such as diarrhea, dysentery and loose stool.

In autumn, we should supplement the nutritional deficiency caused by hot summer climate and loss of appetite, and pay more attention to the diversity of food and the balance of nutrition in diet.
