After beginning of autumn, the weather turned cold in the morning and evening; In summer, it is even more brittle in autumn. Why do people feel tired at this time?

Physiologically speaking, in the hot summer, a lot of sweating makes water and salt metabolism imbalance, gastrointestinal function weakened, cardiovascular and nervous system burden increased, coupled with the lack of adequate sleep and comfortable environmental regulation, the human body consumes too much energy and loses "capital". In autumn, sweating is reduced, the generation and emission of body heat and the metabolism of water and salt gradually return to the original equilibrium state, and the human body enters the physiological rest stage. Some symptoms lurking in summer will appear, and the body will feel inexplicable fatigue. For example, many people wake up in the morning and want to sleep again. This is the so-called "autumn shortage".

To relieve autumn deficiency and restore the balance of yin and yang in the body as soon as possible, we must do the following:

First of all, we must ensure adequate sleep. It's sultry in summer, and people are prone to get angry in a hurry, mood swings, lack of sleep and lack of energy due to the hot weather. As soon as autumn comes, the weather becomes cold, so we should get rid of the habit of sleeping late in summer and try to sleep before 10 at night to prevent drowsiness during the day. At the same time, a proper nap is also conducive to resolving drowsiness. Here, I would like to remind the elderly friends in particular that with the growth of age, the elderly are deficient in both qi and blood and yin and yang, and there will be insomnia that is not refined during the day and does not rot at night. At 0-4 am, the functions of various organs of the human body are minimized; Noon 12- 13 is the most tired stage of human sympathetic nerve. Statistics show that sleeping at noon for the elderly can reduce the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, taking a nap has the significance of disease prevention and health care, which conforms to the principle of health preservation.

Second, a light diet is better. Diet should be light and nutrition should be reasonable. Do not eat or eat less spicy barbecue and other foods, including pepper, ginger, pepper, onion, cinnamon and wine. These foods tend to aggravate the harm of autumn dryness to human body. Appropriately increase the intake of high-quality protein, such as eggs, lean meat, fish, dairy products and bean products. Don't eat or eat less greasy food, because they are easy to produce acid substances that make people sleepy. Autumn deficiency is related to the acidity of body fluids. Eating more alkaline food can produce neutralization and eliminate human fatigue. Eating more fruits and drinking more water is good for refreshing. Eat more foods rich in vitamins, such as tomatoes, eggplant, potatoes, grapes, pears and other fresh fruits and vegetables. Because vitamins, as coenzymes, can help the liver discharge accumulated metabolites when people are tired. In addition, vegetables and fruits are mostly alkaline foods, and their metabolites can neutralize acidic substances produced during muscle fatigue and reduce human fatigue.

Third, pay attention to strengthening exercise. Only when you have enough physical strength can you overcome the physical discomfort at the turn of the season. It is best to exercise in the morning and evening. The exercise method is simple exercise such as climbing mountains, walking and doing exercises, which helps to calm down the mood and relieve the lack of autumn. Stretching can also relieve autumn deficiency. Especially in the afternoon, after working and studying for a long time, it is easy to get sleepy. At this time, if you stretch yourself, you will immediately feel stretched and refreshed. Even when you are not tired, you will feel comfortable after stretching a few times. Because 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 provides more oxygen for various tissues and organs. At the same time, the activities of the upper body supply more oxygenated blood to the brain, which makes people feel awake and comfortable.

Fourth, raising some plants indoors in autumn is related to human hypoxia. Therefore, it is suitable to put some flowers and plants that can absorb carbon dioxide and other waste gases indoors, such as potted citrus, chlorophytum, zebra leaf rubber tree, asparagus and other green plants. Their smell is not strong enough to make people dizzy, but also can regulate indoor air and increase oxygen content. Autumn is a transitional period when the yang is gradually declining and the yin is gradually rising. In the season of yin-yang transformation, there will be some unique phenomena that need human body to adjust and adapt, such as autumn deficiency.
