1, nourishing yin in autumn and winter, moistening lung and moistening dryness, medicine and food are homologous.
The golden wind is refreshing, the climate is dry, and it is easy to hurt lung yin, which makes the immune function of human respiratory mucosa decline, and it is easy to suffer from respiratory diseases such as dry mouth and nose, cough and chest pain, and the resistance to COVID-19 will also decline. In addition to drinking plenty of water, you can consider products with the same origin of medicine and food in your diet, especially paying attention to nourishing yin and moistening the lungs, nourishing the stomach and promoting fluid production. You can eat more white radish, lily, tomato, yam, lentils, lotus root and medlar. You can also make Dendrobium candidum lily porridge. The raw materials are: 20 g of Dendrobium candidum, 50 g of lily and 0/00 g of rice/kloc. Production method: clean three fresh Dendrobium officinale, cut into sections, mash them, put them into 200ml water, fry them for a long time to remove residues and take 100ml (or fry them for 2-4 times at a time and put them in the refrigerator for later use); Use Dendrobium juice, add two fresh lilies, rice100g, and add some water to cook porridge. Health care efficacy: nourishing stomach and moistening lung, nourishing yin and promoting fluid production. It is suitable for dry mouth, dry cough, fever and body fluid injury after the beginning of autumn, and is a good health care product for people suffering from yin deficiency and body fluid deficiency after beginning of autumn.
In addition, we should pay special attention to protecting the spleen and stomach, and advocate: "Ginger and Euryale ferox are indispensable in autumn". Neijing said: cold forming and cold drinks will hurt the lungs. In autumn, the temperature drops, the spleen and stomach are yang-deficient, and eating fruits and vegetables with yin-cold nature is even worse, leading to insufficient yang and diarrhea and abdominal pain. So don't eat too much cold and greasy in autumn to protect your stomach and lungs. You can eat more warm foods, mainly spicy and warm products, such as ginger and cinnamon.
Dispel cold. Ginger, as a homologous product of medicine and food, is widely used, and eating ginger in summer and autumn has a greater effect on dispelling cold. Ginger is pungent and warm. Professor Zou Yunxiang, the father of Professor Zou Yanqin, often said: "A cook who uses ginger badly will not be a good cook, and a doctor who uses ginger badly will not become a good doctor." There are 260 prescriptions in Treatise on Febrile Diseases, of which 765,438+0 prescriptions use ginger. Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica comprehensively describes the smell, efficacy and taboos of ginger, with 79 prescriptions attached. Professor Zou Yanqin generally treats exterior cold with ginger, and interior cold with dried ginger and old ginger. When chronic diarrhea and enteritis belong to spleen and stomach deficiency and cold, patients are not given drugs, so they are introduced to cook Euryale ferox porridge with the secret recipe handed down by Zou Jiazu. The popular story of ginger, "A piece of ginger is better than one medicine, and a cup of ginger soup keeps you healthy", shows that the medicinal function of ginger is very extensive and effective. For patients with cold and common cold for the first time, ginger and 9 yuan can be mashed, brewed with brown sugar and boiled water, or decocted, then covered with sweat and taken for 2-3 times.
Euryale ferox is the head of a chicken except water. It is a good medicine and food for "the baby is not old and the old people live long". It was first published in Shennong's Herbal Classic, and it is called the top grade of prolonging life. Euryale ferox is ginseng in water, which is a good product for dehumidification. Has the functions of invigorating spleen, stopping diarrhea and consolidating kidney. It is a good medicine for invigorating spleen and kidney. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that spleen health means that water and dampness disappear and kidney qi is strong, so you have the right to take it for a long time and all symptoms will disappear. Every year in mid-August, the chicken's head rice comes on the market, and Suzhou locals will buy 10 Jin and put it in the refrigerator, cook a little every day, or put an egg, which is very nutritious. Middle-aged and elderly people use it to strengthen brands and eliminate dampness, and young women use it to come to beauty beauty. Stew Euryale ferox with slow fire until it is cooked thoroughly, and pay attention to chewing slowly to nourish the body. If you don't eat too much at a time, Euryale ferox can be boiled directly, which is simple and nutritious. At the same time, cooking porridge with lotus seeds and japonica rice can reduce urine protein, which is especially suitable for patients with kidney disease.
2. Adjust your daily life, go to bed early and get up early.
Autumn is getting colder, the sunshine is decreasing, the temperature is decreasing, the yang in nature tends to converge and close, and the daily routine should be adjusted accordingly to conform to the changes of solar terms and pay attention to health preservation. "Su Wen? "Four Qi Tiaoling" says, "In autumn and March, lie down early and get up early, and have fun with chickens. "Early lying conforms to the yin essence and nourishes the qi of convergence. Get up early to adapt to the relaxation of yang, so that lung qi can be stretched. As the saying goes, "spring is lacking, autumn is sleepy, and summer is a nap." "Taking a nap in autumn can relieve the cardiovascular system and reduce the tension of the human body. In this season, we should not only keep cold and warm, but also try to keep our bodies cool, so that our bodies can get exercise and have the ability to resist the cold. Avoid excessive sweating and leakage of Yin Qi, so as to meet the health needs of storing Yin essence and keeping Yin Qi in autumn. If you have basic diseases and weak resistance, you should pay attention to keep warm in late autumn; If the temperature drops suddenly and there is rain and snow, you should add and subtract clothes in time according to the weather changes, so it is advisable to do some activities without sweating. In short, according to the weather conditions, clothing should be increased or decreased in time to prevent cold and keep warm, prevent diseases and protect health.
3. Exercise actively and keep fit.
Autumn is the golden season for outdoor activities. As the saying goes, "if you move, you will not fade, and if you use it, you will not retreat." After getting up in the morning, you should actively exercise, improve your body's defense function, and gradually adapt your body to the cold environment, which is conducive to avoiding many diseases. But at this time, because the human body is in the stage of convergence and internal nourishment, exercise should also conform to this principle, that is, the amount of exercise should not be too large to prevent excessive sweating and loss of yang; Exercise should choose relaxed and gentle events with little exercise. According to your physical condition, you can choose some suitable exercise programs, such as Tai Ji Chuan, Wuqinxi, Baduanjin, mountain climbing, swimming, jogging, walking and short-distance travel. Long-term persistence can achieve the purpose of dredging blood vessels, benefiting joints, enriching muscles, enhancing cardiopulmonary function and delaying the aging of various organs and tissues. Traditional fitness exercises such as Tai Ji Chuan, Yijinjing and Baduanjin have obvious effects on increasing vital capacity, improving lung function of patients with chronic respiratory diseases, and practicing deep breathing and slow breathing, which are the best exercise methods for the elderly, the physically weak and the patients with chronic diseases.
4, cultivate one's morality.
Autumn is a good season for harvest, but autumn is also a season for falling leaves and flowers and trees dying. Therefore, there is a saying that "autumn wind and autumn rain worry people". At this time, people's hearts are most likely to cause bad emotions such as sadness, depression and irritability. Therefore, mental conditioning should conform to the seasonal characteristics, make the lung qi clear, adapt to the calm qi in autumn and avoid the cold in autumn. Maintain inner peace, optimism and comfort, put aside all troubles, avoid sadness and slow down the influence of cold air in autumn on human body. You can often chat with your family, do more outdoor activities, and maintain a good optimistic attitude, which is conducive to self-cultivation and cultivation.
