How to maintain health in autumn?
According to the principle of "nourishing yang in spring and summer and nourishing yin in autumn and winter" in traditional Chinese medicine, autumn is a good season for tonic, but it is not allowed to make tonic indiscriminately. The following five taboos should be noted. One bogey is tonic without illness: tonic without illness not only increases expenses, but also damages the body. If you take too much cod liver oil, it will cause poisoning; Long-term use of glucose can cause obesity, increase blood cholesterol and easily induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Two bogeys: I think the higher the price, the more tonic the medicine can be. Ginseng is expensive and a tonic medicine, so many people take it. However, it should be noted that people's excessive service will lead to excessive excitement, irritability, high blood pressure and nostril bleeding. Three bogeys don't distinguish between deficiency and excess: the treatment principle of traditional Chinese medicine is to replenish deficiency. It does not mean that patients with asthenia should not use tonics. Deficiency is divided into yin deficiency, yang deficiency, qi deficiency and blood deficiency. Only the right medicine can make up the body, otherwise it will be counterproductive. Four taboos, the more the better: eating too much tonic will be harmful, so the tonic should be moderate. Five taboos: it is unscientific to emphasize medicine over food, and medicine supplement is not as effective as food supplement. Exercise should be "four defenses". Adhering to proper physical exercise in autumn can not only regulate lung qi and improve lung function, but also help to enhance the immune function of various tissues and organs and the body's resistance to external cold stimuli. However, due to the large temperature difference between early autumn and late autumn and the dry climate, we must pay attention to the following "four precautions" in order to receive good fitness effects. Prevention of colds: The temperature is low in the early morning in autumn, so don't take clothes outdoors alone. You should add or subtract clothes according to the change of outdoor temperature. Don't take off too many clothes at once during exercise, but wait until your body is hot. Don't wear sweaty clothes after exercise, stay in the cold wind to prevent your body from catching cold. Prevention of sports injury: In low temperature environment, the extensibility of muscles is obviously reduced, the physiological activities of joints are reduced, and the ability of nervous system to regulate motor organs is reduced, which is easy to cause sports injuries of muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints. Therefore, we must pay attention to making full preparations before each exercise. Prevention of excessive exercise: Autumn is a good season for physical exercise, but at this time, the yin and yang of the human body are in the stage of convergence and internal nourishment, so exercise should also conform to this principle, that is, the amount of exercise should not be too large, to prevent excessive sweating and loss of yang, and it is appropriate to choose relaxed and gentle projects with small activity. Anti-autumn dryness: autumn climate is dry. For athletes, after each exercise, they should eat more foods such as pears, sesame seeds, honey, tremella and so on, which can nourish yin and moisten the lungs, and replenish fluid and produce body fluid. If they sweat a lot, they can add some light salt water in moderation, taking a small amount, multiple times and slow drinking as the principle. Autumn makes the body "frozen". Chinese medicine believes that the cooling in autumn is a gradual process. People can gradually add clothes to adapt to the external environment. Putting on heavy clothes too early and not letting the body receive moderate cold stimulation will make the body more "delicate", which is not conducive to physical health and health preservation. Of course, "autumn freezing" should vary from person to person, from time to time, and should be moderate. "Autumn freezing" is a very active and effective fitness method, that is, consciously freezing the body to meet the health needs of storing yin and nourishing yang in autumn. Prevention of obesity in autumn will lead to hypertension, coronary heart disease, cerebral arteriosclerosis and other diseases. Experts pointed out that autumn is the season of getting fat easily, and obese people should pay more attention to losing weight. When the weather turns cold in autumn, people's taste is enhanced, their appetite is greatly increased, their diet will be unconsciously excessive, and their calorie intake will be greatly increased; Coupled with the pleasant climate, people get enough sleep and sweat less. In addition, in order to meet the arrival of the cold winter, the human body will actively store fat to keep out the cold, so the body consumes more calories than it discharges. People will gain weight if they are not careful, which is a threat to obese people. Therefore, obese people should pay more attention to losing weight in autumn. First of all, we should pay attention to the adjustment of diet and eat more low-calorie diet foods, such as adzuki beans, radishes, bamboo shoots, coix seed, kelp and mushrooms. Secondly, in autumn, we should also pay attention to increasing the consumption of calories, increasing activities in a planned way and carrying out appropriate physical exercise.
