Ren Jixiang, director of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention of the Affiliated Hospital of Changchun University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that it was late, and it had entered the beginning of autumn season, and the atmosphere of heaven and earth began to converge. Health care should also conform to the changes of the four seasons of the world, and gradually transition from cool summer to nourishing yin and moistening lung, so the diet is mainly based on strengthening spleen and promoting diuresis, moistening lung and clearing dryness. Eat more foods that clear away heat, promote diuresis and nourish yin, such as white gourd, lotus root, lentil, adzuki bean, coix seed, yam, pear, loquat, lily, tremella, jujube and honey.
At the same time, the weather in summer is still hot and humid, which leads to spleen and stomach deficiency and cold, and the resistance decreases. At this time, if you can eat some warm food, especially some porridge and soup, it will be very good for your health, such as barley yam bean porridge, lily tremella pear soup and so on. If you want to eat sour food, you should flatten it. You can eat more sweet and sour foods and less spicy foods such as onions, ginger and garlic. Although autumn is the season of tonic, we should choose flat products to prevent too much. You can choose kiwi fruit, longan, red dates and lotus seeds.
Early to bed and early to rise in daily life. Going to bed early can nourish liver yin, and going to bed late will consume liver yin, leading to hot flashes, insomnia and constipation. Getting up early and breathing fresh air is the simplest way to keep fit in autumn. Don't be greedy for cold, don't take a cold bath, and don't open the window when you sleep at night. After beginning of autumn, it is still very hot during the day, but it is very cold at night. The above behavior is likely to cause wind, cold and moisture to invade the human body, causing heavy fatigue, colds and other uncomfortable symptoms. Don't exercise too hard, mainly to maintain the body's vaginal fluid. Strenuous exercise can lead to sweating and damage the body's vaginal fluid. The best sports are boxing, mountain climbing and moderate jogging. You can also massage the acupoints appropriately. Autumn is golden, and it is the best season to moisten the lungs in a year. Beating Yunmen-Zhongfu point for 5 minutes every day can not only moisten the lungs, but also strengthen the spleen and stomach, which is also very helpful to prevent respiratory diseases and improve immunity. However, it should be noted that elderly and frail patients with cardiopulmonary diseases are prohibited.
