1, beginning of autumn hits the bladder meridian.
Beginning of autumn season is the stage when summer and dampness are rampant, so the focus of health care in beginning of autumn needs to be on clearing away heat and dampness, and the bladder meridian, the most important meridian that affects clearing away heat and dampness, can effectively eliminate dampness and reduce fever by stretching the bladder meridian in beginning of autumn. There are two ways to activate bladder meridian, one is scraping, and the other is to improve the activity of bladder meridian through "cradle-style" yoga.
2. Scraping in autumn begins.
Scraping can dilate capillaries, promote blood circulation and enhance the secretion ability of sweat glands, which has immediate effect on treating symptoms such as hypertension, heatstroke and muscle soreness. Regular scraping can nourish essence, relieve fatigue and enhance immunity. Scrapers are generally used for scraping. If there is no scraping board, you can use a small porcelain spoon instead. The most common and effective scraping sites are the two sides of the back spine. When scraping, the whole back should be divided into upper, middle and lower sections. First, scrape the upper section, and then scrape the next section. Each section should be scraped from the left, and each row should be scraped about 15-20 times. After scraping, if the body does not appear obvious red, it means that the human body is relatively healthy and does not accumulate too much toxins; If it is bright red, crimson, purplish red or even crimson after scraping, it means that there are more endotoxin deposits in human blood. The darker the color, the more toxins are deposited in the body. The main point of scraping is "scraping again is to make up, scraping lightly is to make up, but it is actually to make up."
3. beginning of autumn does the cradle style
Another effective action to dispel dampness and reduce fever and activate bladder meridian is "cradle-style" yoga. 3 pm every day is the best time to exercise bladder meridian. The action essentials are as follows:
Sit in the middle of the yoga mat, bend your legs into an inverted V-shape, put your legs in front of your knees with your hands, tuck in your abdomen, lower your head and close your chin, and let your back roll back and forth on the ground like a cradle, thus massaging the bladder meridian.
In addition to these two simple movements, autumn is especially suitable for outdoor sports, such as mountain climbing and jogging.
Beginning of autumn should climb the mountain.
Mountain climbing in clear autumn is of great benefit to improving physical fitness: in the process of mountain climbing, the human body will feel the change of external temperature and exercise the body temperature regulation mechanism; Mountain climbing in autumn can also improve the permeability of capillaries, accelerate the exchange of substances in the blood, and make people feel relaxed and free. In addition, mountain climbing is also very helpful to strengthen the strength of human legs and waist, and enhance the endurance and coordination of the body. However, it is worth noting that the speed of mountain climbing should be slow, so that the body has more time to adapt to the changes in temperature. Special attention should be paid to patients with hypertension, and patients with coronary heart disease should take appropriate exercise according to their physical condition, and should not do exercise beyond their ability.
5. beginning of autumn should jog.
Jogging in autumn is a very healthy exercise, and the running speed is self-determined. Each individual can decide his running rhythm, breathing rhythm and running time according to his exercise habits and preferences. Doing aerobic breathing exercises such as jogging can enhance cardiopulmonary function, promote blood circulation, supplement oxygen supply to the brain, effectively stimulate metabolism, increase energy consumption, and help the human body lose weight and reduce blood fat.
Step 6: Skills
Life lies in exercise. The author of the American best-selling book "Exercise Transforms the Brain" believes that exercise can not only improve physical fitness, but also help improve the brain. Doing more exercise can make people smarter. So, ladies and gentlemen, take advantage of this good autumn with suitable temperature, more sunshine and less thunderstorms to enjoy sports.
7. Health taboos in early autumn.
(1) Don't distinguish between reality and surplus.
The treatment principle of traditional Chinese medicine is to replenish deficiency. It does not mean that patients with asthenia should not use tonics. Deficiency is divided into yin deficiency, yang deficiency, qi deficiency and blood deficiency. Only the right medicine can make up the body, otherwise it will be counterproductive and will hurt the body. Although health care is not as strict as treating diseases, at least the dining objects should be divided into two categories: cold and heat. Slightly cold people are afraid of cold and like heat, their hands and feet are not warm, their mouth is pale and drooling, their stools are thin, their urine is long, their tongue is pale and their pulse is heavy. Fever, fever in hands and feet, dry mouth, bitter taste, bad breath, dry stool, short and red urine, red tongue and rapid pulse. If you don't distinguish between cold and heat, it will easily lead to "adding fuel to the fire."
(2) The more you avoid, the better
Any tonic with high cost is harmful. It is unscientific to think that "take more tonics, treat diseases and strengthen the body without diseases". If you take ginseng antler supplements in excess, it will cause abdominal distension and not think about diet; Taking too much vitamin C can cause nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
(3) avoid paying attention to "in" and ignoring "out"
With the improvement of people's living standards, many families have meat and fish every day, and the food is greasy. The acidic toxic substances produced by the metabolism of these foods need to be discharged in time, and the accelerated pace of life makes many people have irregular defecation and even constipation. Therefore, in recent years, health experts put forward a new concept of health care that pays attention to "negative nutrition", that is, paying attention to the discharge of human excreta, reducing the retention and absorption of "enterotoxin", and advocating timely and unobstructed defecation while supplementing.
(4) Avoid constant "compensation"
Some people like to change into some kind of tonic according to their own tastes, and then develop from being unchanged for many years into "partial eclipse" and "food addiction", which is not good for their health. Because drugs and food not only have health care and therapeutic effects, but also have certain side effects, long-term use will affect the nutritional balance in the body. Especially for the elderly, not only the functions of various organs have declined to varying degrees, but also they need comprehensive and systematic conditioning, and different seasons also have different demands for health care drugs and food.
