Early to bed and early to rise.
In autumn, Yin Qi in nature changes from sulfur emission to sulfur accumulation and storage. In autumn, the climate turns cool, so go to bed early to conform to the collection of yin essence, and get up early to conform to the relaxation of yang spirit. In addition, getting up early and doing some morning exercises properly can not only breathe some fresh air and promote metabolism, but also be conducive to the exercise of limb function activities and contribute to physical health.
Appropriate "autumn freezing" is necessary.
When I went to Qiu Lai in summer, the autumn wind blew my face. Although it is not cold enough, people can bear it. We might as well do some exercise to gradually strengthen our physique and adapt to climate change. "Autumn freezing" means "autumn is not busy adding clothes", which consciously freezes the body to avoid sweating, sweat evaporation, yin and body fluid injury and yang leakage due to wearing too many clothes. Autumn should meet the health needs of storing yin and essence and harvesting Yang Qi. But "autumn freezing" should be decided according to the weather change, and it should be based on the premise that you don't feel too cold. In late autumn, keep warm. If the temperature drops suddenly, you must put on more clothes.
Be quiet and rest.
In autumn, plants and trees wither, flowers and trees wither, and autumn wind and autumn rain easily make people feel depressed and desolate, evoking a melancholy mood. Especially the elderly are prone to depression and sentimentality. At this time, it is best to listen to more music, or calm down and read a good book, or chat with good friends, or go for a walk outdoors, which can alleviate the depressed mood. According to the theory of "the correspondence between man and nature", Chinese medicine believes that people must maintain spiritual peace in autumn, and only in this way can they slow down the influence of cold on human body, and pay attention to constant convergence to achieve a state of peace of mind.
Proper motion
Autumn season, crisp autumn, is a good opportunity to exercise. The physiological activities of the human body are also in the stage of "harvesting" with the changes of the natural environment, that is, Yin and Yang are in a state of convergence and internal nourishment, so exercise and health preservation should also conform to this principle, that is, do not do projects with excessive exercise to prevent sweat loss and yang loss. We should choose sports according to the physiological characteristics of the human body, such as mountaineering, jogging, walking, morning exercise, qigong and so on. As the weather gets colder, the amount of exercise can be increased appropriately. Before the severe winter comes, the physical quality will be obviously improved, and the ability to resist cold and freezing will be greatly enhanced.
Want skin care and health care
With the cold weather in autumn, people's skin can't adapt to this change immediately, blood circulation slows down, skin is dry, and fine wrinkles are easy to appear, especially around the eyes. So pay more attention to skin care in autumn. In addition to drinking more water, eat some foods rich in vitamin E, such as walnuts, sesame seeds, honey, milk, etc., and pay attention to maintaining a happy mood, because the balance between hormone secretion and autonomic nerves will be directly reflected on the skin due to changes in mood. So the change of skin has a great relationship with mood. In addition, medicine, massage, makeup, facial mask and other beauty and skin care methods are not only suitable for autumn, but also can be used in other seasons, but more attention should be paid to autumn.
It is necessary to prevent diseases and care.
The climate changes greatly in autumn. If we don't pay attention in our daily life, some chronic diseases can easily break out in autumn. Especially in the elderly, the regulating function of the body temperature center is weakened, and the response to external cold and hot stimuli is relatively slow. If you don't add or subtract clothes in time, you will easily get sick. For example, patients with bronchial asthma can't adapt to climate change, and asthma attacks are stimulated by pollen, dust, gas and cold air. Patients with chronic pharyngitis, due to the sunny and rainy autumn climate and dry climate, are easy to induce pharyngitis. Therefore, the elderly must pay attention to disease prevention and health care in autumn, especially some chronic diseases, to prevent recurrence in autumn.
Make love properly.
In terms of sexual life, Chinese medicine believes that in autumn and winter, attention should be paid to conforming to the laws of nature, controlling sexual intercourse and nourishing yin and essence. This is especially important for middle-aged and elderly people. Because with the growth of age, Yin Qi will gradually weaken from prosperity. Therefore, it is a natural trend that the energy of middle-aged and elderly people gradually declines. Abstinence and nourishing kidney essence for middle-aged and elderly people can delay the aging process and achieve the purpose of prolonging life.
