The ancients believed that a reasonable diet can regulate essence, correct the deviation of yin and yang of viscera, prevent diseases and prolong life. Therefore, we should not only pay attention to "abundant food", that is, "five grains for nourishment, five fruits for help, five livestock for benefit, and five vegetables for filling", but also pay attention to the harmony of five flavors, otherwise it will cause diseases due to unbalanced nutrition, biased physique and dysfunction of five internal organs.
(2) Reduce and maintain health
The ancients believed that if a person was moody, it would lead to imbalance of Yin, Yang and Qi in the body. Fatigue can damage temper, while diet can lead to dampness, heat and phlegm. If you have sinned against six evils, there will be many diseases besides injuries. This pathogenic factor is regarded as "poison" by the human body, so "attenuation" is proposed to preserve the true qi. By taking measures such as diet conditioning and taking drugs, we can reduce the accumulated poisons in the body, avoid diseases, prevent premature aging and prolong life.
(3) Meridian health preservation
Meridian is a "network" system all over the human body, which controls the flow of qi and blood and ensures the normal function of various tissue systems. Huangdi Neijing says that meridians have the functions of deciding life and death, treating all diseases and regulating excess and deficiency. Ancient health care experts believe that dredging meridians can be an important measure of health care, and the simplest method is stimulation, massage and acupuncture at three important acupoints, namely Hegu, Neiguan and Zusanli.

The ancients believed that Xue Jing was the essence of human nutrients and the material basis of life. Only with the support of Xue Jing can the five zang-organs maintain their normal functions. If the desire is unbridled, too much blood will be lost, which will cause physical weakness, pathological changes and loss of life. Nourishing yin essence can delay aging.
3, winter health
1, nourish yin and pay attention to drink plenty of water.
In dry autumn and winter, the water evaporated through the skin every day is more than 600 ml, so it is essential to replenish water. An adult should drink at least 1500ml of water every day, and 2000ml in autumn can ensure the lubrication of lungs and respiratory tract.
Although it is recommended to drink more water every day for health, weight loss and beauty. Drinking a lot of water at a time without thirst will be counterproductive. When water exceeds the amount necessary for the body, the water content in cells will rise and swell. The worst result will be "water poisoning" and life-threatening. The correct amount of drinking water should be adjusted according to one's daily activities. Under normal circumstances, drink at least 1.5~2L of water every day. Control the water consumption at 1~2 cups each time.
2. Wear clothes to keep warm.
Some people are careless and didn't add clothes in time when it was cold; Some people wear less clothes and don't button their coats for beauty. Early in the morning and at night when the cold wind is strong, the abdomen is easy to catch cold. Especially for women with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold, once it is cold, they will have stomachache and diarrhea, which is a natural reaction of gastrointestinal tract. The best and most convenient way is to put on more clothes, especially to wrap your waist and abdomen tightly.
The first criterion for choosing winter clothes is to keep warm. Among many kinds of clothing materials, wool, chlorine fiber, acrylic fiber, silk and acetate fiber viscose cotton have the highest warmth retention, while nylon, polypropylene fiber and polyester are not suitable for keeping out the cold because of their high thermal conductivity. The more air the fabric contains, the better its warmth retention. Thick wool fabrics and silk contain a lot of air, so they keep warm well. In particular, the pores of wool fabrics are not straight through, which has better warmth retention.
3. Drink honey after drinking salt water at night.
After autumn, I often feel thirsty. Drinking boiled water alone can't resist autumn dryness. Water in human body will be evaporated or excreted quickly, so it should be "salt water in the morning and honey soup at night". Drinking salt water during the day and honey water at night is not only a good way to replenish human body water, but also a good diet for keeping fit and resisting aging in autumn. At the same time, it can prevent constipation caused by autumn dryness and kill two birds with one stone.
Salt has the functions of clearing away heat, cooling blood and detoxifying. Drinking a glass of light salt water on an empty stomach after getting up in the morning is conducive to reducing fire and benefiting the kidney, keeping the stool unobstructed and improving the digestion and absorption ability of the stomach. Honey has the functions of nourishing the middle energizer, moistening dryness, relieving pain and detoxifying. Take10 ~ 20ml honey before going to bed every day, and take it with warm boiled water, which can not only strengthen the spleen and stomach, replenish qi and blood, but also calm the nerves and relieve boredom. In addition, salt water and honey water can also prevent blood pressure from rising. Salt contains a lot of sodium, which may lead to an increase in blood pressure, while honey has a high content of potassium, which helps to expel excess sodium from the body.
Step 4 sleep for an extra hour
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that autumn and winter are yin orders, and autumn harvest and winter storage. Therefore, in autumn and March, lie down early and get up early, have fun with chickens, and raise the harvest. In winter and March, if you lie down early and get up late, you must wait for the sun, and the way to raise Tibet is also. Therefore, keeping healthy in autumn and winter, paying attention to shade and improving sleep quality will get twice the result with half the effort. "Lying early in autumn and getting up early in winter" is the main fitness method at this time. As for the specific sleep time, it is suggested to rest at midnight every night (i.e. 9: 00-1 1: 00) and try to fall asleep at midnight (11:00). Because childhood is the time when yang is the weakest and yin is the most abundant, sleeping at this time can nourish yin and the quality of sleep is the best, which can often achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Normal people usually sleep about 8 hours a day, and those who are weak and sick should increase their sleep time appropriately. Head north foot south positioning is accurate. The human body is influenced by the earth's magnetic field anytime and anywhere, and the brain is also disturbed by the magnetic field when sleeping. When people sleep, they take the posture of head north and feet south, so that the magnetic field lines can pass through the human body smoothly, which can minimize the interference of the earth's magnetic field and make sleep more sweet. The sleeping position is relaxed, the sleeping effect is good like a bow, and the burden on the right side is light.
5, diet attention to prevent autumn dryness
Eat more warm food, such as sesame, walnut, glutinous rice and so on. You can also eat more spicy, sour, moist or lung-lowering fruits and vegetables, especially white radish and carrot. Although eating more "bitter" fruits and vegetables is the main way to maintain health in the autumn equinox, you should not eat too much and support too much, so as not to cause gastrointestinal stagnation. It is worth reminding that after the autumnal equinox, the cold breath is getting stronger and stronger. People with poor spleen and stomach and frequent diarrhea can easily induce or aggravate diseases if they eat too much fruit.
For athletes, after each exercise, they should eat more foods that nourish yin and moisten the lungs and replenish body fluids, such as pears, sesame seeds, honey and tremella, which can effectively prevent autumn dryness. If you sweat a lot, you can also add some salt water in moderation. The medicinal diet of autumn equinox can make good use of lilies, such as lily lotus seed soup, lily lotus seed lean broth, tremella lily soup and so on.
6. Don't take a bath for too long.
Don't take a bath for too long in autumn and winter, which will make the oil on the skin lose protection, make the skin drier and itchy, and even cause wrinkles and dehydration. It is recommended to take a bath for 20 minutes and take a shower for 3 to 5 minutes. Many people like to take a hot bath, especially some girls with chicken skin, and they have the psychology that "hot water can wash away chicken skin". But in fact, too high water temperature will also destroy the oil on the skin surface, expand the capillaries and aggravate the dryness of the skin. It is recommended that the bath water temperature be between 24℃ and 29℃.
Don't be too diligent in bathing in autumn and winter. Many people think that they will get cleaner and cleaner after washing too much. In fact, doing so will only make the skin drier and drier, but it will aggravate the problem of itchy skin. Causes the epidermis to weaken and be invaded by bacteria and fungi, leading to other skin infections.
7. Exercise more to prevent autumn deficiency
In order to avoid feeling tired at noon and keep energetic all day, most fitness instructors recommend doing more moderate-intensity exercise, even if the heart beats 70% to 80% of the target heart rate. The expert said, "Listen to the sounds made by your body. If you are in a stressful work environment, strenuous exercise may not make you feel more comfortable. It may be better to do repair yoga and let the brain relax. "
According to fitness experts, the ideal arrangement is to do high-intensity exercise two or three times a week, and add lower-intensity projects, such as yoga, walking or weight training. Even when you are not tired, you will feel comfortable by consciously stretching a few times. Stretching can make the chest organs of the human body squeeze the heart and lungs, which is beneficial to the full movement of the heart and makes more oxygen supply to various tissues and organs.
8. Pay attention to psychological adjustment
The main cause of depression in autumn is the lack of sunshine in autumn, and the biological clock of human body can't adapt to the change of short sunshine time, which leads to the disorder of physiological rhythm and endocrine, thus causing the disorder of mood and mental state. They often feel guilty when they are alive, showing inferiority and autism. The clinical manifestations are irritability, depression, fatigue, decreased energy and inattention. Even self-mutilation and suicide.
Sunbathing is a more suitable method for seasonal depression. General symptoms will develop with the change of seasons, mainly manifested as listlessness, depression, decreased work efficiency and so on. However, these bad performances will gradually disappear in the sun, so it is necessary to supplement nutrition appropriately. Food contains amino acids and vitamins, which have an important influence on people's mental health. For paranoid people, if they lack certain nutrients, it may also lead to depression. Therefore, everyone should eat more foods containing vitamin B, such as fish and coarse grains.
