The autumnal equinox solar terms really entered autumn. As a solar term with equal time between day and night, people should keep healthy according to the law of balance between Yin and Yang and the principle of "keeping Yin and Yang secret", and pay attention to: balance nutrition and use less spices to increase acidity.

First, balanced nutrition:

Nutritionists point out that only the diversification of food can provide comprehensive nutrition for human body. Such as cereals, mainly supply heat energy and vitamin B1; Beans and bean products are mainly supplied to protein; Vegetables and fruits mainly supply vitamin C, inorganic salts and dietary fiber.

In autumn, we should pay more attention to the diversity of food and the balance of nutrition to supplement the nutritional deficiency caused by the hot summer climate and decreased appetite, especially to eat more chewy and fiber-rich foods. ?

Second, less pungent and more sour:

The so-called less spicy means eating less spicy food, because the lungs are golden, and the lungs are full of air in autumn. Eat less pungent taste to prevent lung qi from overflowing. Chinese medicine believes that Jin Kemu, that is, excessive lung qi will damage the function of the liver, so it is necessary to "increase acid" in autumn to increase the function of the liver and resist the invasion of excessive lung qi.

According to the principle of traditional Chinese medicine nutrition, during the six solar terms in autumn, we must eat less spicy products such as onions, ginger, leeks, garlic and peppers, and eat more sour fruits and vegetables. In addition, remember that "autumn melons are ripe."

Third, the balance of Yin and Yang:

The autumnal equinox season is equal to day and night, so we should also follow the principle of balance of yin and yang in health care, so that yin and yang are firm. "Yin-Yang balance" is a view of traditional Chinese medicine, which is actually similar to "nutritional balance" in modern medicine. If you want a balanced nutrition, you must first be picky about food, ensure the diversification of food and the balanced intake of "seven-day nutrients".
