This is really an "eventful autumn". "I suggest that everyone: the Millennium is healthy, keep the three qi, and keep the bottom line of disease prevention!
In the Millennium, the sky is crisp and the clouds are light and the wind is light. At this time, the focus of health care is to prepare for the winter.
It is especially important to maintain "three qi" ~
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, and the waist is the house of the kidney, warming and tonifying the kidney. Therefore, it is not difficult to avoid kidney qi, just soak it:
Protect Yang Qi.
It is said that spring covers autumn and it freezes, but in the Millennium, it is almost unnecessary to continue freezing.
As the saying goes, "The White Dew does not reveal the body" is to remind us that after the White Dew, we can no longer go into battle shirtless like in summer, and we should take off the mat at night to cover our stomachs and protect our kidneys. When the yang is protected, it is not so easy to be afraid of the cold in winter.
Moistening lung qi
The weather in the Millennium is still dry, which is easy to consume body fluids, resulting in bitter taste and dry throat, dry stool, chapped skin, and respiratory diseases such as rhinitis, asthma and tracheitis are also easy to recur.
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, ginkgo and so on. Here is a good "white deer soup".
Bailu decoction can tonify middle energizer, moisten lung, relieve cough, strengthen spleen and nourish stomach, and it is the most suitable tonic at this time.
working methods
Jujube 10, lily 60 grams, appropriate amount of rock sugar, stew and eat.
After a thousand years, it will not freeze.
There has always been a saying among the people that spring covers and autumn freezes. After a thousand years, the weather turns cold. If you put on thick clothes too early, the pores will open because of the heat, and the cold caused by sudden cooling can easily hurt people through the pores. Therefore, proper "autumn freezing" helps to exercise cold tolerance, but the feet, navel and joints must not be frozen, otherwise the disease will come.
first
Don't show your feet.
Millennium is the dividing line between hot and cold weather. You can wear sandals and wash your feet with cold water in summer. But after a thousand years, it is not suitable to wear sandals to wash feet in cold water. The foot is farthest from the heart, which is easy to cause poor blood circulation. The kidney qi begins with the first step, and getting cold feet hurts the kidney.
In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the foot is the root of human beings, and six meridians in the human body 12 all start from the foot. These meridians run qi and blood, communicate exterior and interior, and connect viscera, running through the human body. Moreover, there are also folk sayings that "cold comes and summer goes" and "people get old when they get old". So the feet are cold, which means the whole body is cold. So how do you protect your feet after the Millennium?
Foot protection method
Cold starts with your feet, so don't wear sandals. Although sandals can ventilate the feet, wearing sandals after thousands of years will lead to cold feet and cold invasion. The weather is dry in autumn, and wearing sandals can easily lead to dry and chapped skin on your feet. If you really want to wear sandals, you must put on socks before wearing sandals.
Wear socks. On the one hand, socks can protect feet; on the other hand, wearing socks for the elderly, children and the infirm can better keep feet warm and promote blood circulation. In autumn, the skin is dry and the heel is easy to crack. After washing your feet and putting on socks to sleep, it also has a good moisturizing effect.
Soaking feet before going to bed since the Millennium, the weather is getting colder and colder, and some people have symptoms such as cold hands and feet, cold limbs and fatigue. This is a sign of deficiency of kidney qi, so we should pay attention to nourishing kidney qi after Millennium.
Soaking feet can not only protect the whole body, but also gently tonify the kidney. Soak your ankle in hot water for about 5 to 30 minutes until your body is slightly warm. The kidney is open to the ear, and the ear has a dense reflex zone, which connects every organ of the body. Rubbing your ears, waist and eyes while soaking your feet is also helpful for nourishing your kidneys.
second
Unexposed navel
There is no fat under the navel skin, close to rich nerve endings and nerve plexus, which is particularly sensitive to external stimuli and easy to be invaded by cold pathogens. Once the navel catches cold, abdominal pain and diarrhea are inevitable. Long-term colds and urinary system diseases are also easy to find you.
Autumn is the most prone season for gastrointestinal diseases, such as autumn diarrhea in children, enteritis in middle-aged people and indigestion in middle-aged people. These gastrointestinal diseases occur frequently in autumn, which is related to the navel catching cold.
Umbilical warmth
Remove the mat quickly. After thousands of years, the yang in nature is gradually closed and the yin is getting longer. Only by gathering Yang Can, can we "keep healthy qi, evil can't do it", and we won't be afraid of the invasion of cold evil in winter.
Avoid showing your stomach. It is best not to turn on the air conditioner at night. If you are afraid of the heat, you can drive it regularly for an hour or two. The navel belongs to Ren Jing. For women, all private and important organs belong to it. Wind-cold invasion can induce gynecological diseases such as dysmenorrhea. People who like to push the quilt at night should not point at the quilt to protect their navel. It is safer to put on pajamas.
Don't blow the cool breeze directly on the navel, pay attention to blowing the fan and air conditioner, wear thin clothes and don't drive too fast when riding a motorcycle or bicycle to prevent diseases from entering from the navel.
In addition to the external warmth, the interior also pays attention to keeping warm. Cold things like seafood are not suitable for eating more, lest the spleen and stomach catch cold. You can eat more white food such as yam, lotus seeds, lilies and white radishes.
third
Bare shoulders
To be precise, don't freeze joints, not only shoulders, but also neck, waist and knee joints. Cold-dampness pathogen is the main cause of joint diseases, and stagnation of cold makes qi and blood run poorly, which leads to pain. Cold joints may develop arthritis or aggravate it.
Joint warmth
Don't be naked like summer, and don't wear sleeveless pajamas when you sleep. You'd better put on a thicker quilt and add a thin coat sooner or later. You can't let your knee catch cold. Patients with knee pain can wear knee pads to keep warm, and once they sweat, they need to dry them in time.
Proper exercise and sweating can prevent, delay and slow down the process of osteoarthritis, and can also help to eliminate excess acidic substances. Swimming, walking, cycling and lying on your back to raise your legs are all good choices.
Drink some rice wine in moderation. Yellow rice wine has the reputation of "the length of a hundred medicines", and its sweetness is suitable for most people. Drinking in autumn can dispel cold and dampness, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and has a certain therapeutic effect on backache and arthritis.
After three frozen white dew
In addition to the three parts that cannot be frozen, there are three other parts. It is best to freeze more, and moderate cold stimulation is helpful to exercise cold resistance and improve adaptability to low temperature. It is helpful for healthy winter and reduces the occurrence of diseases.
1
A frozen nose
Frozen nose is to wash your nose with cold water. First of all, washing the nose with cold water can enhance the adaptability of nostrils and the whole respiratory tract to cold air and prevent colds and flu. It has the functions of refreshing the brain and improving eyesight. Secondly, washing the nose with cold water can prevent the occurrence of rhinitis, which is prone to stuffy nose and itchy nose. Using cold water can prevent and treat these phenomena.
Wash the nasal cavity repeatedly with spring water, well water or tap water once every morning and evening. At the same time, when washing, you can absorb water with your nose according to the specific situation.
2
Frozen respiratory tract
The freezing of the respiratory tract does not mean letting the lungs catch cold, but refers to breathing more cold air. It will be cooler in the morning after the Millennium. Taking more deep breaths can improve the immunity of the body and enhance the resistance of the respiratory tract to cold and disease. At the same time, exercising the lungs is beneficial to spend the cold winter. Prevent respiratory diseases such as influenza, cough and pneumonia.
Besides taking a deep breath in the morning, you must smile more. Laughter can make the lungs inhale enough clear air, exhale turbid air, accelerate blood circulation, harmonize heart, lung, qi and blood, and increase vital capacity.
three
A frozen face
The face is different from other parts of the body, and it needs to face cold, dust, radiation, oil smoke and so on every day. Therefore, the face is the most prone to aging, but it can't be protected in autumn, and it is easy to be frostbitten and chapped in winter.
Washing your face with cold water is a gymnastics for facial blood vessels, which can enhance the elasticity of facial skin, make your face more shiny and reduce facial wrinkles. At the same time, it promotes facial blood circulation and improves facial cold resistance. In addition, washing your face with cold water is more conducive to keeping your head clear and refreshing, and has a good therapeutic effect on neurasthenia, headache and dizziness. The water temperature in the Millennium season is generally higher than 10℃, which is very suitable for cold water washing.
