In the cold dew season, we must pay attention to maintaining the yang in the body. When the climate turns cold, it is the time when the human body's yang is gathering and * * * is hidden inside, so the maintenance of * * * should be given priority to, that is to say, the principle of "nourishing and harvesting" should be emphasized in cold dew health preservation. Let me introduce you to the basic necessities of cold dew and solar terms.
Cold dew solar terms, food, clothing, housing and transportation
I. Clothing
In autumn, hot and cold alternate, and the temperature gradually drops. Don't always be naked in case the cold invades your body. "White dew hides, cold dew hides feet" is a good way to keep fit. After the Millennium solar term, you can't go shirtless when you wear clothes; After the cold dew solar term, you should pay attention to keep your feet warm to prevent "cold from being born from your feet". So I suggest you wash your sandals and put them away during the long vacation.
This study also shows that there is a close nerve connection between feet and upper respiratory mucosa. Once the feet catch cold, it will lead to the contraction of capillaries in the upper respiratory tract mucosa, the weakening of cilia and the decline of human resistance, so it is particularly important to keep the feet warm.
"One autumn rain and one cold", we should gradually add clothes as the weather turns cold, but not too much and not too fast. As the saying goes, "Spring covers autumn". Moderate cold in autumn is beneficial to improve skin and nasal mucosa and winter. It's cold in the morning and evening in autumn, so put on more clothes. In addition, special attention should be paid to keeping the abdomen warm during the autumn diarrhea season.
Women who love beauty should wear off-the-shoulder and off-the-shoulder clothes as little as possible after the autumn is cool, so as to avoid the cervical and lumbar vertebrae from catching cold. If you must wear it, you might as well add a small hollow coat or a soft silk scarf to protect the cervical spine without losing grace.
In autumn, people tend to be sleepy and have no spirit, but colorful clothes can effectively improve fatigue and refresh their minds. It is recommended to wear red, orange and yellow. Red can excite the body, produce warmth, improve heart rate, brain wave activity and breathing frequency; Oranges can increase appetite and improve fatigue, allergies and constipation. Yellow is the most helpful color for memory. It can also raise blood pressure, raise heart rate and improve mood.
It is dry and windy in autumn. Try not to wear wool or chemical fiber clothes to avoid itchy skin. Autumn is also the season most prone to static electricity, so you should wear pure cotton fabrics, not clothes made of chemical fiber fabrics, because this fabric is resistant to dirt and easy to wash. In addition, it is best to add some fabric softener when washing clothes.
Dry in autumn, tights not only hinder the activities of joints and limbs, but also rub the skin, oppress subcutaneous tissue and hinder blood circulation. Autumn clothes should be loose and the fabric should be soft and drooping, which can also effectively prevent allergies.
Second, food.
In autumn, nerves are excited and appetite increases suddenly, so we should prevent overeating. Eat less spicy and cold food, and eat more acidic hot drinks and hot and soft food. Don't eat moldy and unclean food to avoid intestinal infection. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather is dry, which is prone to "autumn dryness" such as thirst, dry throat, dry mouth and dry skin. Eat more fruits, and often drink boiled water, mung bean soup, soybean milk and milk to meet the needs of the body and improve the anti-drying ability.
Although it is cold in autumn, people prefer to eat thick and oily food, but autumn fat can't stick all the time. Some light, soft and digestible foods can help our bodies to converge and slowly nourish our internal organs. Eating more liquid diets such as soup, porridge and soup can also help our body to relieve autumn dryness. In dry autumn, there is no need to worry about taking in too much water, because the gastrointestinal tract is also very dry at this time, and more water can be absorbed by the human body soon after entering the gastrointestinal tract, and after circulating body fluids in the body, it is excreted through defecation and perspiration.
From Mid-Autumn Festival to late autumn, it is the dry season, and the climate is dry. People are prone to lack of water, resulting in chapped skin, increased hair, dry throat, pain and other symptoms or discomfort. Therefore, drink plenty of water and replenish enough water in autumn. The diet is mainly sour, sweet and moist, and less spicy and loose products are eaten. Chinese medicine believes that the acidity and sweetness in the five flavors can transform yin into body fluid. The climate in autumn is dry, so it is suitable to eat more sour, sweet and moist products, such as Sydney, honey, sugar cane, milk, tremella, lily, lotus seeds, walnuts, peanuts, black sesame and other foods to nourish yin, moisten dryness and relieve the symptoms of human dryness.
Eat warm food for breakfast, and it is best to drink hot medicinal porridge, because both japonica rice and glutinous rice have good functions of strengthening the spleen and stomach and invigorating the middle qi, such as sugarcane porridge, Yuzhu porridge, Adenophora adenophora porridge, raw porridge, Yuzhu porridge and so on. Chronic patients should eat more red dates, lotus seeds, yam, duck, fish, meat and other foods. The dry air in autumn is more suitable for making tonic into soup. Generally speaking, people should use food as tonic, that is, choose fresh Chinese cabbage, radish, lotus root with fish and meat as soup, such as peanut chicken feet soup, lotus root beef soup, spinach pork liver soup, radish ribs soup and so on.
Third, live.
After entering autumn, people's body sweat is obviously reduced, and people's body also enters the rest stage. The metabolic function of water and salt began to restore balance, and the function of digestive system became more and more normal. However, at this time, people's bodies have an indescribable sense of fatigue, which is what people often say. To overcome the "lack of autumn", we should start with adjusting the rhythm of the human body and make targeted and reasonable adjustments in daily life. Among them, to ensure adequate sleep, it is best to sleep for an hour more than usual, and at the same time to develop good living habits.
When it is dry in autumn, a good way to keep your skin moist is to get up in the morning and go to bed late. Don't rush to dry the water, pat your face to let the remaining water penetrate into your skin, and then carry out moisturizing care. People with particularly dry skin may wish to use a moisturizing mask.
If you want to have a good sleep, you'd better soak your feet in hot water to warm yourself up and then go to sleep. Soaking feet with hot water can prevent yang deficiency, regulate meridians, not only relieve fatigue, but also help sleep. Adding some Chinese herbal medicines to water can also play other roles.
Soaking feet with hot water can not only prevent respiratory tract infection, but also dilate blood vessels, speed up blood flow, improve skin and tissue nutrition of feet, reduce the occurrence of lower limb soreness, and make people energetic. It can also improve local blood circulation, dispel cold and promote metabolism, thus playing a role in health care. However, attention should be paid to prevent scalding the skin, the temperature should be 40-50 degrees Celsius and the time should be within half an hour. At the same time, it is not appropriate to soak feet immediately after meals, which is easy to affect digestion and has the best effect before going to bed.
Fourth, ok
Although autumn is not as beautiful and full of vitality as spring, it has another touching scene. Take a proper trip to the lakeside garden in the park. Autumn outing is also a good form of activity, which can not only regulate the spirit, but also strengthen the body.
Traveling in autumn, if you don't pay attention to protecting your skin, it will make your skin wrinkle and thicken, and even suffer from seborrheic skin disease, which will affect your appearance. Therefore, when traveling, we should pay attention to keeping the skin clean, eating more fruits and increasing vitamins and minerals in the body, so that the skin will not be dry and wrinkled; When traveling, it is best to wear a hat to block the sun and rub some ketone cream properly; Take photos and make up during the trip, adopt simple makeup methods, and put on some light makeup appropriately.
When traveling in natural scenic spots, try not to go to inaccessible or undeveloped areas alone to avoid getting lost and causing accidents. Don't wear leather shoes when you need to climb mountains or cross mountains, so as not to sprain or fall. Don't climb rocks, trees, houses or wade in order to enjoy some "unreachable" scenery. Don't go into the deep grass casually to avoid being bitten by wild rats, poisonous snakes or other animals. Don't eat unknown kinds of wild fruits and fungi to prevent poisoning.
In autumn, some poisonous insects, snakes, wasps and so on. , posing a threat to the human body, often hidden in dense bushes. When people accidentally touch them, they will attack people There are many ways to deal with poisonous insects in the wild. It is more practical to find a wooden stick about one meter long for emergency use. Once poisonous insects or poisonous snakes are found, they should be avoided immediately if they are not sure to destroy or drive them away. Don't shout. In case of an attack, try to squeeze out the venom from the wound and go to the hospital at once.
Finally, the cold weather in late autumn is the peak of stroke and myocardial infarction, which is very easy to lead to sudden death. People with emphysema and pulmonary heart disease are also very sensitive to climate change, which can easily lead to recurrence and deterioration of the disease. Therefore, patients with this disease should pay special attention to strengthening prevention and have first aid and treatment drugs at home just in case.
