Autumn equinox, the weather turns cold, the autumn tiger is furious, and the temperature difference between day and night is large, which is easy to induce colds. At this time, we must adhere to the principle of "spring covers autumn and freezing" left by our ancestors.
As the weather gradually turned cold, the autumn rain continued and the temperature dropped. At this time, you should add clothes slowly, don't cover them, just wear too many clothes to prevent sweating and catching cold. But don't use your youth to eat delicious food and don't add clothes in time.
Seemingly contradictory, it is actually a question of "degree". The so-called "chilly in spring and chilly in autumn" means that the sweat pores of our bodies gradually close in autumn. At this time, it is necessary for our body to feel a certain coolness and temperature drop, which will help the pores to close normally.
Therefore, you can't cover it tightly. If we cover too much, the joints of our bodies won't close tightly and we will get sick easily, so it will freeze in autumn. It should be slightly frozen in autumn. If it is too cold, you will catch a cold after freezing, and the loss will outweigh the gain.
Therefore, to add clothes in time, we just need to master the principle of moderation. For example, when we are on the night shift, there is a cold wind blowing out after work at night. Pay attention to bring a coat at this time to avoid cold and evil spirits.
Dr. Wheat reminds everyone that the spring and autumn freeze must adjust the balance of Yin, Yang, Qi and blood in our body according to the weather changes, especially for the elderly and children. You must pay attention to this at the autumnal equinox.
In the autumn equinox, it gets dark earlier and earlier, and the nights are long and the days are short. Huangdi Neijing teaches us to follow the laws of nature, go to bed early and get up late, so as to conform to the autumn harvest of nature. Autumn harvest means collecting the spirit of the sun, so don't get up too early in the morning. Getting up too early is easy to make you weak. Sleeping for a while helps to collect the spirit of the sun. This is also in line with the viewpoint advocated by Huangdi Neijing that "Yin and Pingyang are the secret and God is the rule". To ensure the balance of yin and yang in our human body, we need to strengthen exercise, strengthen our physique, ensure peace of mind, and make the five internal organs peaceful.
