Teach you a few tricks. The first trick: eat more food that nourishes yin and moistens dryness in autumn to avoid the harm of dryness. Eat less spicy food and more acidic food to strengthen liver function, because Chinese medicine believes that "excessive lung qi inhibits liver wood, so more acid can strengthen liver wood." Explain from the attribute of food, eat less spicy, so as not to aggravate dryness syndrome. Eating more sour food is helpful for promoting fluid production and quenching thirst, but it should not be excessive. Some people like to eat sour plum to quench their thirst. "In fact, sour plum is alkaline." Eating too much affects the digestive function of the gastrointestinal tract and is prone to ulcers. Once the weather gets cold, the chance of suffering from peptic ulcer increases greatly. As for spleen and stomach health care, eat more digestible food and eat less raw and cold food such as lettuce salad. As far as solar energy is concerned, in autumn, the yang is gradually closed and the yin is gradually flourishing, so it is not advisable to eat too much yin and cold food. "It's best to cook the food on the fire and iron it before eating." In particular, melons and fruits should be avoided, because "autumn melons are not good for the stomach", such as watermelons and cantaloupes, which are easy to hurt the spleen and stomach. Eat apples, persimmons, oranges, pears, grapes and longan in moderation. "According to the natural solar terms, it is best to eat seasonal fruits." Modern people can easily eat fruits rich in other seasons because of convenient transportation and advanced technology, but it is easy to eat the wrong food. "Do you think, where are the autumn and winter watermelons of the ancients?" Intimate secret recipe: nourishing yin and moistening dryness: tremella, sugarcane, sesame, pear, spinach, soybean milk, honey, lotus root and so on. Acidic fruits: apples, grapes, pomegranate, carambola, lemon, grapefruit, hawthorn and so on. Eat less spicy food: ginger, garlic, leeks, peppers, onions, etc. The second measure: nourishing yin and invigorating qi Chinese medicine is not opposed to autumn tonic, but it is very important to know what kind of physique you are, because the content of tonic is different. Sometimes there is something wrong with the upper respiratory tract, thinking it is a cold, but it is not. However, some elderly people have less salivary gland secretion, and are prone to dry eyes, dry cough, dry tongue and other symptoms, and there is no inflammatory phenomenon of redness and pain. Traditional Chinese medicine is called "yin deficiency", so it is necessary to take yin-nourishing drugs in moderation to improve physical fitness. If it belongs to allergic constitution, it mainly focuses on "invigorating qi", tends to warm up and avoid eating cold food. In the outpatient clinic, patients often "make up the wrong medicine". Once, the doctor found that the allergic patient's condition was not well controlled, and only after asking did he know that the patient had taken propolis privately. Many people think that propolis is good for allergic diseases. In fact, propolis is cold in Chinese medicine, which just conflicts with the warm drugs of allergic constitution. As soon as the patient stopped using propolis, his symptoms improved immediately. In addition, people with poor gastrointestinal function such as frequent diarrhea are advised to supplement more eels (preferably steamed). Intimate secret recipe: Commonly used drugs for nourishing yin: Lycium barbarum, Scrophularia, Polygonatum odoratum and Ophiopogon japonicus, which can promote salivary gland secretion, moisten throat and also have immunomodulatory effects. Common tonics: Ginseng, Radix Astragali, Atractylodis Rhizoma, Poria (however, it is difficult to decide whether the dosage is suitable for one's physique, whether it is food tonic or medicine tonic, and it is best to consult a professional Chinese medicine practitioner. The third measure: the state of mind is conservative and the vitality is convergent. According to the laws of nature, Yin Qi increases in autumn, Yang Qi decreases, and Yang Qi of the corresponding human body is also adducted. It is necessary to go to bed early and get up early in order to store the yang in the body. "The Emperor's Internal Classic" records: "In the autumn of March, it is advisable to lie down early and get up early, and have fun with chickens, so as to calm the mind, slow down the punishment in autumn, astringe the qi, make the autumn quiet and clear the lungs." Under the principle of "harvest" in autumn, the mood should gradually converge, and everything should not be excited or cowered. "Be clear-headed and have quiet sex." In the changing season, only by maintaining a stable mentality and paying attention to the adjustment of body, mind and qi can we maintain our vitality. The fourth measure: proper exercise. Autumn in Beijing is not too cold, and the air quality is better. You might as well get closer to nature, exercise more and absorb the essence of heaven and earth. In particular, stretching can help stretch the body, keep the flexibility of the body, nourish the spleen and strengthen circulation. Stretching has a "transportation function", which can converge the mind. Breathing means "smooth at the beginning of transportation", which means that once breathing is comfortable, it means "smooth at the beginning of transformation", from the circulatory system driven by breathing, gastrointestinal digestion to endocrine system, all the way is smooth, and blood circulation is naturally active. It should be noted that when it is cold in the morning and evening, don't exercise outside. Especially for the elderly, they are prone to catch a cold and need to adjust their exercise methods. Intimate tip: It is cold in the morning and evening: It is recommended to exercise indoors, such as Qigong, Tai Ji Chuan, Baduanjin or yoga. Outdoor during the day: it is recommended that the elderly walk slowly, and the young can walk quickly until they are slightly panting or sweating. It can enhance cardiopulmonary function and regulate qi and blood. The fifth measure: wear bright clothes. There is a saying that you should eat more white food in autumn, which is derived from the theory of five elements ("wood, fire, earth and gold" corresponds to "green, red, yellow, white and black" and then corresponds to "liver, heart, spleen, lung and kidney"). However, Chinese medicine has another interpretation. "Autumn is white and a little complicated," especially white food, such as cabbage and radish. "It's good to eat it, but if it belongs to allergic constitution, it will become more and more serious." Obviously, the theory of traditional Chinese medicine is by no means one-sided, and it must be adapted to individual physique. In addition, everything in autumn is withered, full of bleak and cold breath, and the mood is easily affected. Since autumn corresponds to white in the five elements, it means refreshing and bright, that is to say, wearing more white and bright clothes will make people feel more cheerful and light, and others will look more lively rather than lifeless. The sixth measure: strengthen the body and strengthen the lungs. Autumn qi passes through the lungs, and autumn dryness is easy to hurt the lungs. Therefore, the lungs should be maintained first in autumn. Here are two ways to moisten the lungs. Efficacy of high-throwing compatibility: it can expand the functions of heart, lung, liver, spleen and stomach, and help the body to be awake, light and flexible. Step: 1. Look straight, inhale, put your hands above your head and stand up straight. 2. Exhale and relax, and put your hands behind your back evenly. Run back and forth like this for about ten minutes. The effect of lung-dispersing method: it helps to restrain and calm emotions. Step: 1. Feet parallel, shoulder width. 2. When inhaling, hold your palm, then turn your palm outward and turn your palm on your chest. 3. Make a "hissing" mouth without making a sound, exhale slowly, push your hands to both sides and straighten them, and then slowly relax. 4. Put your hand down and get back to normal.
