After the Millennium, it gets colder and colder in autumn, which is the real dividing line between hot and cold weather. At this time, "Yin Qi is getting heavier and dewdrops are white"; Especially in the morning and evening, it will cool down and condense. From a somatosensory point of view, it is completely in autumn.
The temperature difference between day and night is large and the weather is dry.
Various diseases followed.
Respiratory diseases
skin disease
intestines and stomach disease
cardiovascular disease
……
So how to maintain health at this stage? Sun Liming, director, chief physician and professor of endocrinology department of Liaoning Zhongji Shengjing Geriatric Hospital, will take stock of the correct "posture" in the "White Dew" stage for everyone to help them spend autumn and winter healthily and comfortably.
1. Bushen Qi
At this time, the north has turned cold, and the most important thing to pay attention to is tonifying kidney and benefiting qi. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "the kidney opens to the ear, the waist is the house of the kidney, and the kidney is warmed up."
Moreover, the method of tonifying kidney and benefiting qi is not difficult, just soak and rub:
Soak-insist on soaking your feet with warm water at night. The water doesn't reach your ankles, so you'd better soak your body and sweat a little.
Two rubs-rubbing your ears and waist while soaking your feet to nourish your kidneys.
Step 2 Keep Yang Qi.
As the saying goes, "The Millennium never reveals itself" is to remind us that after the Millennium, we can't be naked like summer. If you play shirtless again, you may catch cold, which will make your spleen and stomach cold, and then cause acute diarrhea. Cold is easy to invade from the soles of your feet or joints. It is best not to wear vests, short skirts, shorts and other clothes. When you sleep at night, you should also take off the mat to cover your stomach and protect your kidneys. When the yang is protected, it is not so easy to be afraid of the cold in winter.
Moistening lung qi
In the Millennium, the climate is still dry, and it is easy to consume body fluids, resulting in bitter taste, dry throat, dry stool and chapped skin. People with respiratory diseases such as rhinitis, asthma and tracheitis are also prone to relapse.
Therefore, lung qi should continue to "moisten". The simplest thing is to eat more white food, which can moisten the lungs, such as tremella, pears, yams and so on.
1. Eat pears.
Autumn dryness should be prevented in the Millennium stage, and pears can moisten dryness, relieve cough and reduce fire. Eating pears in autumn can not only promote fluid production and moisten dryness, but also clear away heat and resolve phlegm.
Because pears are cool, children and the elderly should not eat more. You can add rock sugar to make pear soup, which not only reduces coolness, but also has better moisturizing effect.
2. eat longan.
Li Shizhen recorded in Compendium of Materia Medica that "litchi is the most expensive food and longan is the best resource", which shows his admiration for longan. Longan itself is rich in nutrition, which can not only replenish qi and strengthen the spleen, but also nourish blood and soothe the nerves, moisturize and beautify. Longan also helps to treat anemia, insomnia and neurasthenia.
Eat walnuts
As the agricultural proverb goes, "White dew beats walnuts and eats walnuts." The Millennium season is the ripe season of walnuts, and it is also the most nutritious time. Walnut, as one of the four major nuts, has the reputation of "Long live the fruit", "longevity fruit" and "treasure of health preservation". Chinese medicine believes that it can warm the lungs and relieve asthma, moisten the intestines and relieve constipation, and enhance human yang. It's cold in the Millennium, so it's best to eat walnuts to warm up.
1. Early to bed and early to rise
Now we will find that the dawn is getting late, the yang is gradually gathering, and the yin is beginning to prevail. Therefore, people's daily life should also adapt to this change, try to go to bed early and get up early, and do appropriate activities after getting up, which can help the divergence of lung qi. In addition, the air is fresh in the autumn morning, and getting up early is conducive to breathing fresh air in the lungs and maintaining lung vitality.
Step 2 Exercise moderately
In the Millennium, the physiological function of human body is weakened, so it is necessary to exercise properly, increase the cardiopulmonary function and increase the cold resistance of the body. Young people can run, play ball and climb mountains, while old people can walk, play Tai Chi and jog. Mainly moderate sweating, no fatigue, help to regulate qi and blood in the body. After exercise, you can take a deep breath, close your eyes, regulate your heart, lungs and qi, and keep your body and mind healthy.
Beware of allergies
Autumn is a period of high incidence of allergies. The air is dry, the climate changes frequently, and the ultraviolet rays are enhanced, so people's skin and respiratory tract are prone to allergic phenomena. Allergic rhinitis, dermatitis and asthma are the main symptoms.
In terms of daily diet, we should pay attention to balanced nutrition, eat more milk, freshwater fish, bean products and fresh vegetables and fruits to enhance skin resistance. Avoid eating salty fish, shrimp, crabs and other foods that are easy to cause allergies.
Sensitive skin, pay attention to skin hydration, and use less irritating cosmetics. If you are allergic for more than a week, you can go to the hospital to check allergens, and if possible, you can install an air purifier at home.
