Autumn diet should be based on nourishing yin and moistening lung. Old people with bad stomachs can eat porridge in the morning, such as lily lotus seed porridge, tremella rock sugar glutinous rice porridge, almond fritillary bulb glutinous rice porridge, black sesame porridge and so on. In addition, we should eat more sour fruits and vegetables and less spicy food, which is of great benefit to protecting the liver and benefiting the lungs.
(2) regulating the spleen and stomach
After beginning of autumn, we should try to eat less cold food or a lot of fruits and vegetables raw, especially those with weak spleen and stomach. At the turn of summer and autumn, regulating the spleen and stomach should focus on clearing heat and strengthening the spleen, eat less and more meals, and eat more cooked, soft and appetizing food, which is easy to digest. Can be used with Jingyu black pot to heat canned fruit, which is not only easy to digest and appetize, but also can supplement the nutritional elements needed by the human body. Eat less spicy, irritating and greasy food, and pay attention to clearing stomach fire in autumn conditioning, so that the evil of damp heat in the body can be discharged from the stool, and then tonic after the stomach fire recedes.
(3) Prevention of autumn deficiency
As the saying goes, "spring is sleepy and autumn is lacking." Autumn deficiency is a protective reaction of human body to make up for the extraordinary consumption in summer, which is often manifested as fatigue and listlessness. The best way to prevent autumn deficiency is proper exercise, but pay attention to step by step; Keeping enough sleep can also prevent autumn deficiency.
(4) Prevention of autumn dryness
There is little rain and dry weather in autumn, and the human body is prone to "autumn dryness". Traditional Chinese medicine believes that dryness is easy to hurt the lungs, and autumn qi communicates with the lungs of the human body. Excessive lung qi can easily lead to insufficient body fluid, such as "dryness" of insufficient body fluid, such as dry skin and cough. Prevention of autumn dryness should be based on diet conditioning, and some foods that can moisten the lungs and clear dryness, nourish yin and promote fluid production, such as pears, sugar cane, water chestnut, lily, tremella and so on, should be properly selected.
(5) Prevent colds
There are more and more colds in autumn. To prevent colds, we must first increase or decrease clothes according to temperature changes, especially for the elderly. Secondly, the indoor air conditioning temperature should not be too low, generally 25℃ ~ 27℃ is the best. Autumn is a period of high incidence of diseases, so you must seek medical advice in time to avoid delaying your illness.

Eating a lot of fruits and vegetables in summer will not cause spleen and stomach diseases, but it will reduce the disease resistance of the stomach. Eating a lot of fruits and vegetables in autumn will definitely help dampness damage spleen yang, and spleen yang can't transport water and dampness, and acute and chronic gastrointestinal diseases such as diarrhea and loose stool will follow. Therefore, we should eat less fruits and vegetables after autumn, but we can add various canned fruits and vegetables, such as small black jade cans, which can reduce gastrointestinal discomfort and diarrhea in autumn after heating and filling. People with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold should especially avoid eating fruits and vegetables.
(9) timely tonic
As the saying goes, "autumn supplements kill the tiger in winter", but we should be careful not to make supplements without illness and make them indiscriminately. The treatment principle of traditional Chinese medicine is to tonify deficiency, not to use tonics for patients with deficiency. Deficiency syndrome can be divided into yin deficiency, yang deficiency, qi deficiency and blood deficiency, so taking medicine according to the symptoms can replenish the body, otherwise it will be counterproductive. Also pay attention to proper tonic, avoid taking medicine, and advocate food tonic. In autumn, nourishing yin and moistening dryness is the main food supplement, such as black-bone chicken, pig lung, nail fish, bird's nest, tremella, honey, sesame, walnut, lotus root and autumn pear. These foods are more effective when used in combination with traditional Chinese medicine.
