How to protect the lungs in autumn "dietotherapy+meridians+yoga"
Three in one protects the lungs the most.
The lung is also the main fur, and the lung yin is sufficient, so the skin is firm and the pores are delicate. On the contrary, rough skin, large pores, easy to grow acne.
The lungs are delicate and dirty, and they are most afraid of dryness. Autumn is the driest time, so we should pay attention to moistening the lungs and moistening dryness, and regulate the lung meridians. Autumn belongs to gold in the five elements, corresponding to the lungs, so autumn is also a key period for nourishing the lungs.

Self-test method of lung health
Among the five fingers, the thumb is opposite to the lung and connected with the Taiyin lung meridian. Whether the lungs are healthy or not can be known by clicking the thumb.
The thumb is full and round, and the rebound force after pressing is very good, indicating that the lung is full of qi. On the other hand, if your thumb is dry or your skin is inelastic, you should pay attention to nourishing your lungs.

Three hundred soups, one bowl for moistening lung.
Eating blue food nourishes the liver in spring and red food nourishes the heart in summer. Eat more "white" in autumn.
White food is rich in water and can keep moisture. For example, eating lotus root in autumn can cool serum heat and yin beauty; Eating lily and lotus seeds in autumn can clear the heart, soothe the nerves, replenish the lungs and strengthen the spleen. However, what Miss Miro recommends most is the "Three White Soups" which can dispel dampness and detoxify, dredge the stomach, rejuvenate the skin and maintain beauty and lose weight.

Dietary taboos for nourishing the lungs in autumn
Choose a light diet
Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, such as pears and other fruits containing a lot of water, grapes and other berries, as well as citrus and other fruits with lung moistening and cough relieving effects. Eat less fatty and heavy (salty or sweet) food, especially hot food such as mutton, so as not to cause lung dryness and heat.
Eat less spicy food such as peppers and cold drinks.
These irritating foods, whether spicy like peppers or cold like cold drinks, do great harm to the lungs, so avoid eating them.
Moisten the lungs and nourish.
Moistening the lungs can focus on supplementing vitamin A and vitamin E. Vitamin A has the function of protecting lung tissue and comes from liver, egg yolk, cream and so on. Vitamin E is an essential promoter of cell respiration, which can protect lung tissue from air pollution and improve immunity. It comes from wheat germ oil, sunflower seed oil, peanut oil, beans and so on. In addition, drinking enough water every day can ensure the lubrication of the lungs and respiratory tract.
