Therefore, TCM health preservation needs to conform to the natural characteristics. It is necessary to restrain the yang and prevent the exhaustion of the yang, but also to help the yang and enhance the body's resistance.
Pay attention to daily life and maintain yang.
Many people will feel the lack of autumn because your yang is gradually weakening.
At this time, it is necessary to support the yang, thus nourishing the heart and tendons. When the sun is full, you will be energetic, refreshed and relaxed.
After the autumnal equinox, the yin is getting heavier.
◆ Staying up late often is easy to harm the human body's yin qi, so it is necessary to adjust the schedule and form the habit of going to bed early and getting up early to adapt to the changes of yin and yang.
◆ The bedroom should be ventilated with more windows and pay attention to air circulation, but don't lie with the windows open. Store summer mats and electric fans in time.
◆ Autumn is crisp, and it is also a good time to exercise. Proper exercise can not only mobilize the yang of the human body, but also alleviate the lack of autumn. But also can improve the bad mood, thus improving the autumn sadness. But this season, the yang is in the convergence stage, so the amount of exercise should not be too large, so as not to consume the yang.
It is easy to hurt your face in autumn. From the autumnal equinox to the first frost, the weather is getting colder and the wind is blowing gently.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that cold pathogens are most likely to damage the yang of the human body. The lung is not only connected with the muscle surface of the human body, but also connected with the viscera that is vulnerable to pathogenic factors.
Therefore, cold pathogen easily invades the yang of lung and muscle surface, resulting in aversion to cold, fever, nasal congestion and even cough and asthma. Therefore, at this time, clothes should be increased or decreased according to the change of outdoor temperature, and "autumn freezing" should not be blindly pursued.
Don't stay in the wind in sweaty clothes after exercise, so as not to catch cold and hurt your health.
Everything withers in autumn, which makes people feel sad most easily.
Sadness is a normal emotional change of human beings, and Chinese medicine believes that it is the embodiment of the physiological function of the lungs. For patients with poor tolerance to external stimuli, it is easy to cause seasonal affective disorder. As a result, symptoms such as depression and decreased will activity appear.
Huangdi Neijing tells people that in autumn, we should keep the spirit and mood calm, control the mood and make it calm and natural.
A good mood is a good medicine for treating diseases, and a bad mood is a pathogenic factor.
This can also alleviate the adverse effects of autumn depression on mood.
Preventing autumn dryness is the constant theme of autumn diet, but the "dryness" of autumn equinox belongs to "coolness and dryness", which will be combined with dryness and heat, resulting in aversion to cold without sweating, stuffy nose and dry throat, and frequent cough without phlegm. Therefore, we should eat more warm foods in our diet to prevent dryness, such as almonds, honey and ripe pears.
In addition, you need to replenish water, especially warm water, and insist on drinking more water. The quantity can be introduced in a small amount at a time and frequently. Never wait until you are thirsty to drink water.
The autumnal equinox is coming. Are you ready? I wish you peace at all times and health and happiness in all seasons!
