Over time, it is easy to get sick of yin deficiency. There are a lot of fruits on the market in autumn, most of which are healthy, but there is a folk saying that "autumn melons are bad for the stomach."

Four, women's winter health care methods

Women's winter tonic should start with adjustment, reconcile the internal and external balance of the body, and keep the body in a state of smooth qi and blood, and then determine whether it is necessary to supplement according to the situation. The physiological characteristics of women are different from those of men, and women value blood. The key to tonic in winter lies in regulating blood.

Nutritive food in winter should be based on increasing heat energy, and foods rich in carbohydrates and fats, such as lean meat, eggs, fish, milk, beans and their products, can be eaten properly. Protein contained in these foods is not only easy for human body to digest and absorb, but also rich in amino acids with high nutritional value, which can increase human body's cold resistance and disease resistance.

In addition, in the cold winter, female friends must pay attention to keep warm and cold. Beautiful "frozen people" young women are often seen on the streets of cities, wearing short skirts and showing their legs and waist. In fact, wearing this will not make you beautiful, but will only get uglier and uglier. Because the blood circulation of the "cold girl" is not smooth, not only her hands and feet will be cold in winter, but also her face will be prone to spots. At the same time, the energy in the body can't moisturize the skin, and the skin lacks vitality.

The female reproductive system is most afraid of cold, and catching cold in the lower body directly leads to cold in the uterus. In addition to cold hands and feet and dysmenorrhea, it will also cause weak sexual desire and lack of desire. Cold uterus and blood stasis lead to an increase in leucorrhea and a decrease in the sanitary environment in the vagina, leading to pelvic inflammatory disease and endometriosis.

Traditional Chinese medicine often says that "warm uterus leads to pregnancy". As long as the uterus and pelvic cavity are full of qi and blood and inflammation is eliminated, pregnancy will naturally occur. Therefore, a healthy, "lucky pregnant" abdomen is warm and soft. Therefore, those women with poor physical fitness should not envy others for wearing more graceful clothes that are resistant to freezing. In addition to keeping warm in winter, you can also eat some products that are "dry and not greasy". It is suggested that women should pay attention to nourishing yin and protecting yang in winter, drink more lotus seed porridge, gouqi porridge, milk porridge and eight-treasure porridge, and properly supplement cattle, sheep and dog meat, so as to achieve the functions of nourishing yang, nourishing yin, warming blood and benefiting qi, enhancing physical fitness and resistance, moistening viscera, and caring skin.
