In late autumn and early winter, everything withers, the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, the weather is changeable, and people often feel thirsty. Old and infirm people are very easy to get sick in this season, so we must pay attention to daily maintenance.
Autumn is golden, and the lungs are the most vigorous. At this time, the weather is dry, the lungs are the "delicate and dirty" of the human body, and the lungs are the most delicate organs of the human body. They cannot be dry, wet, cold or hot. Autumn is very dry. Huangdi Neijing said: "Da Liang kills people, Huaying turns his face, and caterpillars become disasters. Inconvenient in the chest, stuffy and coughing. " The translation of this sentence is, "when the cool air is applied, the leaves of the plants and trees change color, the caterpillars die, and people feel uncomfortable in the chest, stuffy throat and coughing." This just shows that it is easy to get sick in autumn, such as this kind of disease of phlegm and asthma, cold and heat advancing and retreating, dizziness and numbness caused by wind.
Drying in autumn generally starts from the autumnal equinox and ends with light snow. At first, it was warm and dry, with the afterheat of summer. Then with the chill of winter, it was cold and dry. After the lung is injured by dryness, the mild patients have dry mouth and throat, dry nose and dry cough without phlegm, while the severe patients have fever and aversion to cold, and cough with little phlegm. The warmth and dryness in early autumn also make people thirsty and want to drink water, but when it is cold and dry, they may not feel thirsty and want to drink water. If people with lung disease must prevent the recurrence of lung disease, the elderly should pay special attention to prevent stroke.
Do lung maintenance in autumn.
1, "Early to bed and early to rise, having fun with chickens"
Why do you say you should go to bed early and get up early like a chicken? Because in this season, you should keep a quiet and peaceful mood, and don't be infected by the sad breath of autumn, so as to ensure the clear lungs. An autumn rain and a cold, people will inevitably miss their relatives and friends at this time, and it is inevitable that they will get lung disease if their lungs are trapped in their chests. This is human nature, so it is particularly important to keep a peaceful heart.
2, eat acid, inhibit lung qi
Among the five elements, the liver belongs to wood, and the lung belongs to gold. In Jin Kemu, especially in autumn, lung qi is the most vigorous, so it is necessary to nourish the liver and suppress lung gold at this time. Among the five flavors, the liver tastes sour and the gold tastes pungent. In autumn, it should be spicy and sour. As the saying goes, "Eating radish in winter and ginger in summer is arsenic." Eat less spices and avoid hot pot in winter. Eating some sweet food properly can nourish and maintain the lungs, such as Pak Lei.
Step 3 drink plenty of water
Autumn is very dry, and the skin and organs are easily hydrated. If you want to replenish water in time, you should drink 500ml more water than usual and keep your whole body hydrated. You can also connect a basin of hot water with a washbasin, with your head close to the top of the hot water and suck in hot water steam.
In general, autumn health care should pay attention to going to bed early and getting up early, keeping a peaceful mind, eating lightly, preventing autumn dryness, and focusing on increasing income.
