Everyone has heard the saying "prevent before you get sick, prevent before you get sick". Thousands of years ago, our ancestors used the concept of "prevention before illness, prevention before illness" in TCM to prevent and treat diseases. The prevention theory of traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes "prevention is more important than cure, combining prevention with treatment", that is, taking some health preservation methods to prevent diseases before they occur. For those who are already sick,
Qian Jin Fang Lun Hou Zhen put forward that "the ancients were good at treating people, and Chinese medicine wanted to treat diseases, while doctors wanted to treat diseases". On the one hand, this sentence divides doctors into three grades, on the other hand, it also shows that the ancients divided diseases into three types: "not sick, wanting to treat, and sick". The concept of modern preventive medicine is similar. So, how should we proceed? How to do autumn health care? Don't worry, keep reading, let's study together!
As mentioned above, the words "prevention before illness, prevention before illness" are applicable and instructive whether in normal health or in autumn. Below, we will focus on the two guiding ideas of "prevention before illness" and "prevention before illness" to explain how to do a good job in health preservation.
First, prevent before you get sick.
So what should we do? We do it from the following aspects:
(A) through health to enhance the healthy qi of the human body.
The first aspect is to conform to nature: nourish yang in spring and summer, nourish yin in autumn and winter, follow the law of four seasons, go to bed early and get up early, and pay attention to the increase or decrease of clothes;
The second aspect is to nourish the heart: that is, to avoid being too excited and maintain a good mood, so that the human body's qi flow is smooth, the qi and blood are peaceful and the righteousness is full, thus enhancing the disease resistance;
The third aspect is to protect kidney and essence: Chinese medicine believes that essence can transform qi, which can generate spirit, which in turn can control qi and shape, so kidney essence is the basis of human body's shape, qi and spirit. Specific kidney protection and essence protection can be carried out from massage, diet, acupuncture, sexual intercourse and so on.
The fourth aspect is physical exercise: that is, exercise should be moderate, so as to be "tired and tireless", and at the same time, it should be gradual, and the amount of exercise should be increased from small to large, and finally exercise should be adhered to;
The fifth aspect is to pay attention to diet: don't eat things you shouldn't eat, pay attention to food hygiene, don't favor a certain kind of food, such as eating burnt or sour things every day, and finally learn to use Chinese wolfberry and scutellaria baicalensis.
The sixth aspect is to learn to use acupuncture, massage and drugs to keep fit.
(2) prevent the invasion of disease and evil.
The first aspect is to avoid evil spirits: for example, to avoid the invasion of six evils into the body, to prevent heatstroke in summer, to prevent dryness in autumn, to prevent frostbite in winter, to avoid some insect and animal injuries, burns and so on;
The second aspect is drug prevention: for example, Xiaojin Dan, the simplest understanding is what western medicine calls vaccine.
Second, prevent the disease from changing.
Specifically, we can start from the following aspects:
(1) Early diagnosis and early treatment, as we all know, early diagnosis and early treatment.
(2) To prevent transmission, on the one hand, it is necessary to block the route of transmission of diseases, on the other hand, it is necessary to stay in a place where there is no evil, and master the law of the spread and change of diseases, such as defending qi and nourishing blood, defending diseases, preventing diseases from spreading to qi, and so on.
Finally, add a little knowledge of autumn health:
First, "Autumn qi can ventilate the lungs" and "the lungs are the sea of qi" tell us that we must pay attention to maintaining lung qi in autumn health care to avoid respiratory diseases.
Second, timely life: the temperature turns from hot to cold in autumn, hot during the day and cool at night. To "go to bed early and get up early", go to bed early at night to avoid cold, and get up early to absorb fresh air. At the same time, open the door and open the window in autumn to let the indoor air circulate. When the weather changes in autumn, don't rush to put on more clothes, so you can exercise to keep out the cold and enhance your body's adaptability to the weather changes.
Third, the diet is dry: the weather in autumn is dry, and dryness is the main qi in autumn, and the lungs correspond to autumn, but the lungs are delicate and dirty, and they like to moisten and hate dryness, but it is dry in autumn, and dryness is easy to attack and damage the lungs. To this end, we can choose to eat more foods that produce fluid and increase fluid in autumn, such as pears, lotus roots, bananas, honey, vegetables, etc., to moisten and nourish the lungs.
Fourth, eat less or even no spicy, spicy and barbecue food in autumn.
