Cold dew tonic, don't forget to detoxify.
During the cold season, the weather is getting colder and colder. In order to enhance their resistance, many people start to take a lot of supplements, which will metabolize more "waste" in their bodies. If these "wastes" cannot be eliminated in time, it will seriously affect your health. Therefore, cold dew not only needs tonic, but also detoxifies.
Health experts suggest that we choose the right detox food with fitness exercise, which is not only beneficial to health, but also can keep fit. The following three kinds of food are very good choices.
Fungi. Selenium rich in fungi can help us clean blood and dirt. Regular consumption can play a very good role in moistening intestines, detoxifying, lowering blood pressure and cholesterol, preventing arteriosclerosis and improving immunity. At the same time, fungus food is also a very good anti-cancer food.
Fresh fruit and vegetable juice. Fresh fruit and vegetable juice is rich in dietary fiber, vitamins and other nutrients, which plays a very important role in eliminating toxins in the body.
Pig blood soup. Pig blood is a very good detoxification food. It is rich in plasma protein, which will decompose under the action of various enzymes in human gastric acid and digestive juice to produce a substance with detoxification and intestine moistening effects. It can also combine the dust, harmful metal particles and other substances in the stomach into substances that the human body can't absorb, and excrete them through feces.
Drink herbal tea carefully in cold season.
Office workers are busy at work and often stay up late. In the cold season, because the weather changes greatly, they are often prone to symptoms such as dry mouth and swollen gums. So they often drink herbal tea to reduce fire.
The reason why herbal tea can reduce fire is that its formula contains many Chinese herbal medicines: honeysuckle, chrysanthemum, mulberry leaf, lophatherum gracile, medicinal herb, egg flower, cloth residue leaf and so on. It can be seen from this that herbal tea is very different from ordinary tea drinks. In fact, it is listed as polyjuice potion, a traditional Chinese medicine, which can be called "functional beverage".
Drinking herbal tea in summer will have a good effect of clearing away heat, nourishing yin and strengthening yang, but drinking herbal tea in autumn may damage the yang in the human body, and the stagnation of body fluid in the vagina will lead to the dysfunction of organs such as the spleen and stomach, making the human body weak. This is because, unlike in summer, people get angry in autumn mainly because of the deficiency of both qi and yin or the inability of qi to transform yin, while drinking herbal tea will aggravate the symptoms of "autumn dryness" and consume qi and hurt yin. From this point of view, herbal tea is not always conducive to clearing away heat and reducing fire, especially in the cold dew season, so we should drink it carefully. Since drinking herbal tea can't reduce the fire very well, how should you treat it in autumn? Health experts suggest that Chinese herbal medicines such as Lycium barbarum and Ophiopogon japonicus, which have the effects of nourishing yin and clearing heat, are very suitable for brewing and drinking in autumn.
The most important food of cold dew: quail eggs
Health care effect: Quail eggs are known as "the best in eggs" because of their functions of enriching blood and benefiting qi, strengthening the body and brain, and strengthening muscles and caring skin. Modern medicine has also confirmed that quail eggs have the effect of moistening skin and resisting dryness, which is very suitable for eating in the cold and dew season when "cool and dry" is rampant.
The standard of picky eaters: quail eggs should be of moderate size, and the color and shape of spots should be uniform.
There is a way to eat it: quail eggs should not be cooked for more than 5 minutes.
Enough is enough: 30 ~ 50g/ time.

6. Population health care
1. Male:
Cold dryness "attacking lung and nourishing qi"
The most striking feature of diseases in autumn and winter is "dryness is disease", which is generally "warm dryness" in early autumn and "cool dryness" in late autumn.
In the cold dew season, the weather changes from "cold" to "cold", and flowers and trees are also depressed. At this time, yin generates yang, and "cold" and "dryness" can easily form "cool dryness" together. Once "cold dryness" invades the human body, it will cause damage to the lungs and stomach, thus causing cold symptoms such as cold, chills, headache, anhidrosis and dry nose and mouth.
Therefore, in the cold dew season, we should take some supplements in time to balance the yin and yang in the body and prevent the "cold dryness" from causing harm to the body.
In the cold dew season, in order not to be harmed by "coldness and dryness", most people can take food supplements to keep healthy, while people with lung diseases or teachers, salespeople and other people who consume more lung gas should take medicine supplements. Medicinal materials suitable for autumn tonic include sun-dried ginseng and white ginseng.
2. Lady:
(1) Cold dew does not show your feet.
There is a folk proverb called "cold dew does not show your feet", which says that you should stop wearing sandals barefoot when you encounter cold dew, and pay attention to keeping your feet warm. There is also a saying in Chinese medicine: "The disease starts from the cold, and the cold starts from the feet." Because the foot is the starting point of the three yang meridians and kidney veins of the foot, if the foot is cold, cold pathogens will invade the human body and cause damage to the liver, kidney, spleen and other organs.
Now medical theory has also confirmed the importance of keeping feet warm for health. Feet are far away from the heart, with less blood supply, and the fat layer on the surface of feet is very thin, so feet are very sensitive to cold. Moreover, once the feet catch cold, it will also reflect and affect the normal physiological functions of the upper respiratory mucosa such as nose, pharynx and trachea, weaken the ability of these parts to resist pathogenic microorganisms, thus leading to the enhancement of pathogenic bacteria activity and the human body is more prone to various diseases.
If you want to do a good job of keeping your feet warm, you should not sit for a long time, move your limbs frequently and promote blood circulation besides choosing shoes and socks with good warm effect and breathable insoles. Besides, you'd better run errands with hot water before going to bed every day.
(2) Strengthen warmth and actively guard against "old cold legs"
During the cold dew season, many people's "old cold legs" began to attack, and their joints showed various discomforts, such as fear of cold, wind, pain and even tingling.
"Old cold legs" is medically called "rheumatoid arthritis" and it is difficult to cure. Old people are more likely to suffer from "old cold legs", but if they are not careful at ordinary times, young people may also suffer from this disease. Our knee joint has a large range of motion and a large weight. When people get old, their bodies will degenerate and they will easily get osteoarthritis. If you don't keep your legs and knees warm when you are young, it may lead to rheumatism or rheumatoid arthritis. Before and after the cold dew, some young people will feel sore and swollen in their legs and will be "heavy". As everyone knows, this is a sign of "old cold legs."
The key to prevent "old cold legs" in cold dew season is to keep warm. First of all, when you sleep at night, you should cover your knees or rheumatism with a quilt, and you can wear thick clothes and socks in these parts appropriately. Secondly, scrub these parts with hot water when taking a bath, or apply hot compress, and stick to soaking feet with hot water every day. In addition, many people are used to using knee pads, but in fact, knee pads are not suitable for keeping their knees warm. The doctor said that the knee pads are too elastic, which will knot around the knees, leading to poor blood circulation, which is not conducive to the health care of the knees.
3. The elderly:
In the cold dew season, the body of the elderly should be supplemented by God.
In the cold season, the weather is getting colder and colder, which will make the elderly feel bad, sad, bored and even have various psychological problems. Therefore, the health care in the cold dew season should pay attention to "tonic", not hurting the spirit and regulating the mood.
Nourishing the heart is to relax the blood vessels in the cerebral cortex, coordinate the subcortical center and autonomic nervous system, balance endocrine and promote health, which can achieve incomparable effects with various drugs and nutrients. When people get old, they are more sensitive and easily stimulated, and even feel sad when they see the depression in late autumn and early winter. In addition, our living standard is improving day by day, and the nutrition contained in our daily diet can meet or even exceed the needs of the body, so if we blindly rely on supplements, it may be counterproductive. From this perspective, cold dew health is still the best tonic.
There is no specific scope and method of tonic, because it contains very rich content. Experts suggest that the elderly can choose the appropriate form according to their own situation. The principle of choice is also very simple, just do what you like and make yourself happy. The following points can be noted:
First, cultivate appropriate hobbies. Some people are uncomfortable when they suddenly have leisure after retirement. At this time, they can find something they like to do, such as reading and writing, planting flowers and grass and so on. This can enrich your life and you won't feel empty.
Second, keep exercising. In the morning when the air is fresh, or in the afternoon when the sun is warm, go to the square or park to play Tai Chi and take a walk. These low-intensity exercise methods can not only strengthen the body, but also adjust the mentality.
Third, communicating with people is even more "smelly". Loneliness is the enemy of the elderly, so the elderly should participate in social activities more, which can not only avoid the loneliness of living alone in a room, but also obtain all kinds of information in life. Proper "smelly beauty" means that the elderly should pay attention to their appearance, which will make them feel younger, will not pull a long face all day, and is also very good for health.
Fourth, adjust yourself and adapt to society. Don't be an "antique", abandon your old and pedantic "old ideas", learn as much as possible, adjust your ideas and adapt to the development of society. At home, don't talk about seniority, be equal to the younger generation, and don't haggle over every ounce.
4. Pregnant women:
Hair instability caused by lung qi deficiency.
As the saying goes, "Autumn has come and my hair has fallen out." After autumn, expectant mothers will find that the problem of hair loss seems to be getting worse and worse, and it has become a veritable "three thousand troubles". This situation is particularly obvious in the dry and cold season.
According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, dryness dominates in autumn, which is easy to hurt the lungs, and the lungs dominate the fur. If the lung is qi-deficient, the external defense is insufficient and the hair is not solid. Now medical research has reached a similar result. The weather in autumn is too dry, which is not good for human skin and easy to hurt hair, because there is less water in the air in autumn and hair is easy to dry. At this time, if the nutrient intake is not sufficient, it is very easy to cause hair loss.
To prevent hair loss, we must first ensure adequate nutritional intake. Nutrients such as iron, calcium, zinc, vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin C and protein are very beneficial to hair growth. You can eat more foods such as soy products, dairy products and seafood. Secondly, keep your hair clean, avoid drinking alkaline cleaning products and washing your hair with too hot water, do more head massage to promote blood circulation, and give your hair proper sun protection when going out to prevent ultraviolet rays from damaging your hair. In addition, you must not stay up late to prevent hair loss, don't drink too much, and don't eat spicy and greasy food.
7. Common sense
Exercise backwards to maintain functional balance.
In the cold season, the key to exercise and fitness is to keep the balance of various functions of the body, and balance is very important for almost all sports. Walking backwards is an excellent exercise to keep balance. Walking backwards often before and after cold dew is of great benefit to our physical and mental health.
When walking backwards, you should face forward and walk backwards. This is a kind of reverse movement. Usually, we are moving forward, so walking backwards is a brand-new action for us. Exercise is difficult and dangerous. It will stimulate the brain and let us learn and practice new things. Modern medicine has confirmed that when walking backwards, some joints and muscles that we seldom move at ordinary times will be fully exercised, such as lumbar muscles, quadriceps femoris and muscles and ligaments next to ankles. This can adjust the movement function of the spine and limbs, make the blood circulation smoother and the body's balance ability stronger. And walking backwards has a good effect on preventing and treating diseases such as backache, leg pain, cramps, muscular atrophy and arthritis. At the same time, if we can persist for a long time, the cerebellum's judgment of direction and the coordination of human functions can be exercised.
In order to avoid the danger of walking backwards, you can walk forward 10 minutes before exercise to prepare for the activity. This can make the whole body relax, all joints, muscles and ligaments move freely, and all parts of the body enter the best state of walking backwards.
People who are old and weak and have just started to practice walking backwards can walk with their thumbs pointing backwards and four pointing forwards. When they are skilled, they can walk with their arms swinging. The way they swing their arms can be personalized at will, and they can throw their hands and bend their elbows with their fists. Specifically, there are several essentials: chest, body straight, eyes straight ahead. When walking, take your left foot first, try to lift it up and take it out, and then move your center of gravity back. The forefoot touches the ground first, and after the left foot touches the ground, shift the center of gravity to the left foot, and then change the right foot. In the same way, take turns from left to back.
It is very important to choose the venue for walking backwards. Be sure to choose a flat and barrier-free place like the lawn in the park. It is advisable for the elderly to walk backwards 1~2 times a day. If they are slightly weak, they should adjust their exercise time according to their physical condition. It should be noted that this sport is not suitable for tuberculosis patients.
In addition, we pay attention to balance and comprehensiveness in physical exercise and daily diet, and walking backwards is a kind of balanced exercise in itself. Therefore, the backward movement should be combined with the forward movement alternately in order to achieve better exercise effect.
Intimate reminder:
Walking backwards belongs to aerobic exercise. In order to achieve the expected exercise effect, we must ensure the quality and quantity when walking backwards. "Quality" means to ensure that the heart rate is half faster than normal when walking backwards, that is, to achieve the so-called effective heart rate. "Quantity" should be done: not less than 20 minutes at a time. Specifically, people who just started walking backwards take two steps every second, two kilometers every half hour, two to four days a week, 1~2 times a day.
