It is advisable to dispel summer heat and nourish yin
After beginning of autumn, the temperature difference between day and night increased. In diet, we should persist in dispelling summer heat and eat more foods that nourish yin and moisten the lungs. Medicine believes that rising dryness and heat in autumn is easy to hurt body fluid. Therefore, the diet should nourish yin and moisten the lungs, and soft foods such as sesame, glutinous rice, japonica rice, honey, loquat, pineapple and dairy products can be eaten properly to benefit the stomach and promote fluid production. We can also eat beans, which can also protect the health of the kidneys, so we should eat them often.
Considering that the weather may still be hot, citizens can eat more vegetables and fruits to relieve summer heat, and they can also supplement vitamins and minerals in time to neutralize the excess acidic metabolites in the body, thus clearing away heat and detoxifying. Vegetables should be juicy, such as cucumber, wax gourd, tomato and celery. Fruits should be eaten with products that nourish yin and promote fluid production, such as grapes, watermelons, pears and bananas. But we are not suitable for eating more melons, which will lead to problems in the spleen and stomach, so we should choose the right food to eat.
Focus on nourishing yin and tonifying deficiency
Autumn is a good time to nourish yin and tonify deficiency, but autumn tonic can't be supplemented indiscriminately. Only by knowing your own physique can you make supplements according to your symptoms. If the breathing is shallow and short, the voice is low, and the spirit is tired and lazy, the exercise will sweat, the appetite will drop, and the tongue will be pale, which belongs to the constitution of qi deficiency. It is the easiest way to make water or porridge with astragalus, codonopsis pilosula and American ginseng. If the face is pale, the lips are pale, the night heat and night sweats, the skin is dry, and the tongue is red without coating, it belongs to the constitution of blood deficiency. We can use Angelica sinensis, red dates, Polygonum Multiflori Radix and Mulberry to cook porridge, and we can also add some when stewing chicken soup and meat, which has a good promoting effect on our health.
Above, we recommend starting autumn health care. We can find that we have a good regimen at this time, which is very critical. First of all, we should eat light food, and we must give priority to nourishing yin and dispelling summer heat. At the same time, we should choose to nourish yin, so as to keep in good health.
