2, dry constipation in autumn, eat more foods rich in dietary fiber. Such as sweet potato, cabbage, celery, bean sprouts, mushrooms, kelp, seaweed, cabbage, carrots, konjac and so on. And spicy food will aggravate constipation, so eat less. Nuts can moisten the intestines and relax the bowels, and often eat five kernels of honey. Such as almonds, sesame seeds, walnuts, pine nuts, hemp seeds and so on. Drink more water. 5-7 am is the time for large intestine duty. Drinking a glass of water at this time can promote defecation.
3, easy to get oral ulcers in autumn, eat more foods rich in vitamin B2. Such as mushrooms, laver, tomatoes, bean sprouts, beans, peas, rape and so on.
4, autumn and winter is a good season for tonic, because after autumn, the absorption rate of food will gradually increase. But eat less mutton and dog meat in early autumn, because the summer heat in early autumn has not completely subsided, and overeating and eating mutton and dog meat is not good for your health.
5, the weather turns cold in autumn, and some cool foods should be eaten in moderation.
Such as melons, fruits, watermelons and cantaloupes. The common people say that "autumn melons are rotten" is also the same reason. And because of the cold weather, eating cold food will hurt the spleen and stomach. Especially in summer, people's spleen and stomach are affected by the hot weather, and their functions are weak, so it is very important to nourish the spleen and stomach just in autumn. Vegetables such as cucumber, towel gourd, bitter gourd and wax gourd should be eaten in moderation. Because melons are mostly cold foods, especially after the weather turns completely cold, people with weak spleen and stomach should eat less, like the elderly and children.
6. Chinese medicine says that autumn is dry, and dryness passes through the lungs, which is the easiest to hurt the lungs, so it is necessary to nourish and moisten the lungs in autumn. Vegetables for moistening lung include yam, carrot, lotus root, lily, tremella, fungus and tofu. Fruits such as autumn pears, hawthorn, apples, oranges, bananas, kiwis, water chestnuts, etc. Nuts such as walnuts, almonds, peanuts, pine nuts, sesame seeds, etc. Among them, almond has the best lung-tonifying effect and the highest vitamin A content. Honey is the best food to nourish and moisten the lungs in autumn.
