Dispel cold and moisten dryness without getting sick.
The autumnal equinox should be based on the law of balance between yin and yang. After the autumnal equinox, there is little rain, cool weather and dry climate. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that autumn dryness is easy to consume body fluids, and dispelling cold and moistening dryness becomes the key to balance yin and yang in the body.
"The dryness of the autumnal equinox is different from that of the millennium. Millennium dry is warm dry, and autumnal equinox dry is cool dry. Pay attention to eat more warm food, such as sesame seeds, walnuts, glutinous rice and so on. Fruits and vegetables listed in autumn have various colors, such as lotus root, sugarcane, autumn pear, citrus, hawthorn, grape, lily, tremella and persimmon. These are all good for aftercare. " Dr Wang Xiaoli suggested.
In the autumn equinox, you can also eat more spicy, sour, moist or lung-lowering fruits and vegetables, especially white radish and carrot. The medicinal diet of the autumn equinox should also make good use of lilies, such as lily lotus seed soup, tremella lily soup and so on. These are all good choices.
Three places should be particularly warm.
Because the temperature changes greatly in late autumn, this changeable weather will make the blood vessels of human skin and subcutaneous tissue contract and the resistance of peripheral blood vessels increase, which will lead to the increase of blood pressure and blood viscosity. Even in normal autumn freezing, there are three "forbidden zones"-head, navel and feet, which need special warmth.
Emotional health and sadness
Everything withers in autumn, and people are prone to depression, even sadness and melancholy.
It is suggested to get together and chat with friends more, and take advantage of the crisp autumn weather to visit the park and see the scenery, which will help vent bad emotions. Abdominal breathing is recommended: stretch your arms, expand your chest as much as possible, and then breathe through your abdomen, which can increase your vital capacity, especially for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and emphysema.
In addition, we should learn to explain ourselves, laugh at troubles and tolerate others. In short, a healthy mood can enhance the body's resistance and is the best "medicine" to prevent diseases.
Vitamin B deficiency can also make people depressed and slow-thinking. Eat coarse grains rich in vitamin B in autumn, such as oats, barley, millet, red beans, mung beans and peas.
Relieve autumn deficiency and increase aerobic exercise.
In autumn, many people are always sleepy and have no spirit, which is the performance of autumn lack. Dr Wang Xiaoli pointed out that in summer, the nights are short and the days are long, so many people get into the habit of staying up late and getting up early. In autumn, this habit will be adjusted. Try to go to bed before 10: 30 at night, because after 1 1: 00, that is, after midnight, the functions of various organs of the human body begin to decline and they need to rest.
Proper aerobic exercise can relieve brain fatigue, such as walking, jogging and square dancing. However, the amount of exercise should not be too large to prevent excessive sweating, loss of yang and aggravation of physical fatigue.
