1, regulating diet: A healthy diet in autumn should focus on nourishing yin and moistening lung. For the elderly with weak stomach and intestines, porridge can be used to benefit the stomach and promote fluid production in the morning, such as lily lotus seed porridge, tremella rock sugar glutinous rice porridge, almond fritillary bulb, glutinous rice porridge and black sesame porridge. In addition, we should eat more sour fruits and vegetables and less spicy food, which is of great benefit to protecting the liver and benefiting the lungs.
2, get up early and go to bed early: go to bed early to adapt to the gathering of yin essence, get up early to relax the yang. Getting up early in autumn can reduce the chance of thrombosis; It is also meaningful to lie down for a few minutes before getting up to stretch your whole body and prevent thrombosis. The incidence of this kind of disease is very high in late autumn and early winter, and the onset period is mostly in the late stage of long sleep. This is because the blood flow of cerebral vessels slows down during sleep, which is easy to form thrombus.
3, enhance physical strength: the autumn climate is getting colder, clothes should not be increased too much at once, deliberately let the body freeze, and carry out some cold-proof exercises, which is also an important way to enhance the body's adaptability to the cold climate in winter. It's cool in autumn, which is a good time to exercise. Especially pay attention to cold-resistant exercises, such as morning exercises, jogging, cold water bath, etc., to improve their resistance to diseases.
4. Disease prevention: The cold weather in late autumn is the peak of stroke and myocardial infarction, which can easily lead to sudden death. People with chronic bronchitis, emphysema and cor pulmonale are also very sensitive to climate change, which can easily lead to recurrence and deterioration of the disease. Therefore, patients with such diseases should pay special attention to vigilance, strengthen prevention, and have first-aid and therapeutic drugs at home to prevent accidents.
5, prevention of autumn dryness: autumn climate is dry, so the skin moisture evaporates quickly, so it is easy to cause symptoms such as dry skin, increased wrinkles, dry throat pain, constipation, so preventing autumn dryness in autumn is an important health care principle. Keep a certain humidity indoors, pay attention to replenish water in the body and avoid the loss of body fluids caused by overwork and strenuous exercise. In order to prevent dry skin, you can apply various skin creams. However, it should be noted that chapped lips should not be rubbed with glycerin, and frequent licking of lips with tongue is not allowed, otherwise chapped lips will be aggravated.
6. Eat fruits and vegetables carefully: Eating a lot of fruits and vegetables in summer will not cause diseases of the spleen and stomach, but it will reduce the disease resistance of the stomach and intestines. Eating a lot of fruits and vegetables after autumn will definitely help spleen yang to be damaged by dampness. Spleen yang will not transport water and dampness, and acute and chronic gastrointestinal diseases such as diarrhea, dysentery and loose stool will follow. Therefore, eat less fruits and vegetables after autumn, especially those with spleen and stomach deficiency.
7, timely tonic: when tonic, you need to be careful not to make tonic without illness, and make up indiscriminately. The treatment principle of traditional Chinese medicine is to tonify deficiency, and patients with deficiency syndrome should not use tonics. Deficiency can be 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. Also pay attention to the appropriate amount of tonic, avoid using drugs instead of food, and advocate the method of food tonic. Such as black-bone chicken, pig lung, nail fish, bird's nest, tremella, honey, sesame, walnut, lotus root, autumn pear and so on. These foods are compatible with Chinese medicine, and the effect is better.
8, drink more soup: the air is dry in autumn, and it is more appropriate to make tonic items into soup. Generally speaking, people should adopt the method of food supplement, that is, choose fresh Chinese cabbage, radish, lotus root and fish to make soup, such as peanut chicken feet soup, lotus root beef soup, spinach pork liver soup, radish ribs soup and so on. You can also eat some cold fruits with diuretic and antipyretic effects, such as apples, Sydney, oranges, water chestnuts and grapes. , can supplement a lot of vitamins and trace elements.
