Prevent autumn dryness
1, add more water.
Dry in autumn, easy to hurt body fluids. Therefore, drink plenty of water to replenish water in autumn. In ancient China, there was a saying that "drink salt water in the morning and honey soup in the evening", which meant drinking salt water in the morning and honey water in the evening. Drinking boiled water easily loses water. If you add a little salt to boiling water, it will not be so easy to lose water. Drinking honey water at night can relieve constipation. When drinking water or salt water, it is better to drink a small amount often.
2. Eat more foods that nourish yin and moisten dryness.
Autumn diet should be light and moist. In autumn, you can try to eat some fruits and vegetables that nourish yin and moisten dryness, such as radish, tomato, tofu, lotus root, tremella, pear, persimmon, banana and grapefruit. Ophiopogon japonicus and lily are the best products to prevent autumn dryness in autumn. Compendium of Materia Medica once mentioned that Ophiopogon japonicus can nourish yin and promote fluid production, moisten lung and clear heart, and is suitable for lung dryness, dry cough, body fluid injury, thirst, upset, insomnia and constipation. Lily enters the lung meridian, tonifies lung yin, clears lung heat, moistens lung dryness and relieves cough.
3, less bitterness
Pay attention to less spicy and more sour in autumn diet, that is to say, eat less spicy and eat more sour. The lungs are golden, ventilated in autumn, and full of lung qi in autumn. Eating less spicy food can prevent lung qi from overflowing. Therefore, in autumn, we should eat less spicy food such as onion, ginger, leek and pepper, and eat more sour food such as yogurt, lemon and hawthorn.
4. Reasonable supplements
It's hot in summer, and I have a bad appetite. Autumn is a good season for tonic when the weather turns cold and the appetite is wide open. However, the tonic in autumn should be scientific and reasonable, and it should not be made indiscriminately. In hot summer, we often drink some cold drinks and eat some frozen food, which often leads to the weakening of spleen and stomach function. Therefore, autumn rash tonic may increase the burden on the spleen and stomach. Before autumn tonic, you can eat some foods that regulate the function of the spleen and stomach and give the spleen and stomach an adaptation period. In addition, take medicine carefully. Don't take tonic if you are not ill, let alone take tonic.
Anti-autumn deficiency
As the saying goes, "spring is sleepy and autumn is short, and summer is a nap." In autumn, many people feel tired. So, why does autumn make people feel tired and weak? In fact, the lack of autumn has a lot to do with the influence of summer climate on people. The high temperature in summer makes our body sweat a lot, which leads to the imbalance of water and salt metabolism; The unbearable heat also makes us lose our appetite and weaken our gastrointestinal function. When autumn comes, the weather turns cool, our water and salt metabolism returns to balance, our digestive function returns to normal, and our metabolic function returns to stability. At this time, our bodies entered a rest period. Autumn is cool, suitable for sleeping, and there is always a feeling of not sleeping enough.
Autumn deficiency is a protective measure for human body to restore physical strength in autumn climate environment, which makes up for the extraordinary consumption brought to human body in summer. But the solution to autumn lack is not to eat more and sleep more, but to start from the following aspects:
1, adjust work and rest, go to bed early and get up early.
In autumn, lung qi is strong, so going to bed early can "astringe lung qi" and getting up early can "clear lung qi", which is in line with the way of nourishing yin and astringing qi in autumn. Going to bed early and not staying up late in autumn can ensure that we have enough sleep and physical strength to face the next day's work and life. You can do stretching exercises after getting up early in autumn, and you can also play Tai Chi when you are free. You can take a nap for half an hour or an hour at noon to relieve the symptoms of autumn deficiency.
2. Exercise more.
Summer is hot, so there is less time for exercise. The cold weather in autumn can increase outdoor activities. Exercise can not only strengthen the body, but also drive away the lack of autumn and make people full of energy. Due to the decrease of exercise in summer, the flexibility and muscle extensibility of the human body decrease in autumn, so warm up and stretch your limbs before exercise. Exercise should be gradual, and it is not appropriate to suddenly increase the amount of exercise. The weather is dry in autumn, and it is easy to lack water in the body. Remember to replenish water in time when exercising.
3. Don't be greedy.
In autumn, the climate is getting colder and colder, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is getting bigger and bigger. Don't be greedy in autumn, let alone lie down when the wind blows. It is best to cover your stomach when sleeping, so as to avoid the invasion of cold pathogens from the navel, causing symptoms such as diarrhea and abdominal pain.
Prevent autumn sadness
Autumn is the harvest season, and everything withers. People feel the joy of harvest and the sadness of autumn wind. The poet said, "Autumn has always been sad and lonely. I say autumn is better than spring." People's mood in autumn is so full of contradictions. Although it is cool in autumn, the climate of alternating cold and warm is really easy to affect people's mood. Therefore, we should pay attention to emotional conditioning in autumn to prevent the spread of sad autumn emotions. To prevent the sadness of autumn, we should start from the following aspects:
1, strengthen sunlight and lighting.
In autumn, rainy days or when there is no light in the morning and evening, you can turn on the lighting equipment in your home or office to make the room bright and bright. Because sufficient light can arouse people's emotions and enhance their excitement.
Step 2 stay optimistic
You must have an optimistic mood to be satisfied. Knowing how to be satisfied will lead to long-term happiness. People who are content, whether in prosperity or adversity, can regard this moment as a sunny moment, because they know what satisfaction is. I believe that in our life, we will encounter many dissatisfied things from time to time, but it is often because of these dissatisfaction that our eyes are blinded and we can't find good things around us. Contented people are good at finding the beauty around them and know how to find the beauty from bad things. We should learn to be contented and consciously adjust ourselves to cope with the bad mood brought by autumn.
Step 3 do outdoor exercise
Physical exercise can directly bring pleasure and joy to people, and exercise can reduce tension and anxiety, thus regulating people's emotions and improving their mental health. Long-term regular moderate-intensity physical exercise helps to improve their mood. Therefore, more exercise in autumn can release the negative emotions brought by autumn, and can also strengthen the body, killing two birds with one stone.
Step 4 improve nutrition
The bad mood in autumn may be caused by vitamin deficiency. Studies have found that lack of vitamin B 1 can make people prone to depression and irritability. Vitamin B family includes vitamin B 1, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, vitamin B 12, etc. Among them, vitamin B 1 can improve people's mental state and maintain the normal activities of nerve tissue, so it is called "spiritual vitamin". Vitamin B 1 can supplement oats, peanuts, pork, corn, wheat bran, milk and so on. Drinking too much will also lead to the loss of vitamin B 1, so if you are in a good mood in autumn, you should pay attention to drinking less.
