It is still necessary to prevent heatstroke in the heat.
According to Yuan Xianxian, after autumn, the temperature will be very hot during the day and very cold at night, and the temperature difference between morning and evening will become larger. However, everything in nature is a turning point in which the yang gradually closes and the yin gradually grows, and the metabolism of yin and yang in human body naturally enters a transition period in which the yang disappears and the yin grows. Therefore, Chinese medicine stresses nourishing yang in spring and summer, nourishing yin in autumn and winter, and preserving health in autumn, which cannot be separated from the principle of "receiving and supplementing". In other words, the primary task of autumn health care must be to maintain yin in the body. At the turn of summer and autumn, the temperature difference between day and night is large, and the temperature is high and low, which is often the "eventful autumn" with frequent diseases. According to the climate characteristics of this period, eating and living should not only prevent heatstroke, but also keep out the cold.
Adjust your mood and beware of autumn dryness.
Yuan Xianxian introduced that people often lose too much after sweating in summer, and there will be insufficient nutrition and water in the body. After entering autumn, the weather is getting colder and the climate is dry, which is prone to autumn dryness. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that dryness is the evil of six evils and the main qi in autumn. Dry, easy to consume body fluids. A series of common symptoms, such as dry mouth and tongue, stuffy nose and sore throat, dry skin, dry stool and irritability, are called "autumn dryness syndrome" in medicine. The elderly have poor adaptability and tolerance to autumn climate change, so they should pay more attention to prevention.
To prevent dryness in autumn, the basic principles should be nourishing yin and clearing dryness, moistening lung and promoting fluid production. After beginning of autumn, it was mainly warm and dry, manifested as damp heat, yin deficiency and vigorous fire. The high temperature weather of "autumn tiger" is inevitable in early autumn. This kind of weather can easily make people feel irritable, so we should actively guard against "emotional heatstroke". To achieve inner peace, spiritual peace and comfortable mood, we must avoid feeling sad, even if we encounter sad things, we must take the initiative to resolve them. At the same time, we should also restrain ourselves and adapt to the calm atmosphere in autumn. If the human body violates the qi gathered in autumn, it will hurt the lung qi. Lung qi is damaged in autumn and pathological changes will occur in winter. This is because people's ability to nourish and collect gas in autumn and nourish and store gas in winter is not strong enough.
Early to bed and early to rise, less spicy and sour.
When it comes to health, daily life and diet are naturally the most important. Dr Yuan Xianxian pointed out that after beginning of autumn, everyone should adjust their diet and daily life. The diet structure and living time in summer are no longer suitable for the health of this solar term.
When the weather is crisp in early autumn, we should "go to bed early and get up early", go to bed early and conform to the convergence of Yin Qi, and get up early to stretch our lungs and prevent excessive convergence. In addition, the days are short and the nights are long, and the weather is cool. People are prone to drowsiness. If they sleep too much, their mood will become depressed and their daily life will be very regular. Going to bed early and getting up early will make people feel full. This solar term strengthens the sleep time at night to make up for the lack of sleep in summer. Going to bed early in autumn is completely in line with the principle of "nurturing and harvesting".
