Autumn is the harvest season, and it is also the season when the yang in nature gradually closes and the yin grows longer. Beware of autumn tigers, there are secrets in diet. How to adjust diet in early autumn? Let's listen to the advice of Jiafen Liu, the attending physician of Chinese medicine in Guangdong Maternal and Child Health Hospital.

In early autumn, the afterheat in midsummer remains, which is cool in the morning and evening, and high in the afternoon, commonly known as "autumn tiger". Jiafen Liu said that the heat brought by the "autumn tiger" usually lasts for about a month, and the climate in Guangdong is hot and humid. At this time, the focus of health care should be heatstroke prevention and dryness prevention.

First, try not to sleep in wet and cold places or enjoy the cool. It is easy for children to kick the quilt when they sleep at night. Pay attention to cover your abdomen with a thin quilt to avoid catching cold.

Second, try to avoid outdoor activities at noon and pay attention to heatstroke prevention and cooling.

Third, pay attention to hand hygiene, avoid overeating and prevent autumn diarrhea.

"Suddenly, the autumn wind is cool, and children with diarrhea line up", so this season, it is especially necessary to prevent the disease from entering the mouth. Therefore, the diet should be gradual. Although autumn and winter are the best seasons for tonic, the summer heat in early autumn has not subsided, and premature tonic can easily lead to excessive internal heat.

Traditional Chinese medicine has the saying that "nourishing yin in autumn and winter", so tonic in early autumn should be based on nourishing and moistening dryness, such as tremella, lotus seeds, lilies, Polygonatum odoratum, grapes, apples and Sydney. At the same time, ensure the intake of high protein, such as tofu, milk, fish and eggs. Improve immunity and appropriately increase the intake of various potatoes, such as yam, potato and taro. It helps to replenish physical strength and relieve autumn fatigue.
