There is not much difference between the temperature in autumn during the day and in summer, just a little more dry. What should you pay attention to at this time:
Soak your feet in warm water.
Many people will have cold hands and feet, fatigue and other symptoms at this time, especially women with thin bodies, which is a manifestation of insufficient kidney qi. They have many acupoints on their feet, such as Yongquan. Soaking feet can dispel the cold in the body through steaming, which has a good effect on improving Yang Qi for people with physical weakness. Soaking feet 15 minutes is more appropriate.
Association between activity and inertia
When the weather gets cold, people's physiological functions are relatively weakened. At this time, it is necessary to appropriately increase the amount of exercise, which can enhance the cardiopulmonary function and the cold resistance of the body. At this time, "combination of static and dynamic" has become the most appropriate exercise method at this time. "Moving" can be used for jogging or mountain climbing, and "static" can be used for abdominal breathing or umbilical massage.
Jogging can effectively improve heart function and ensure blood supply to the brain. In addition, it can stimulate human metabolism, enhance human energy consumption, improve resistance and make people more energetic.
Mountain climbing can enhance physical fitness, which is directly beneficial to people's vision, cardiopulmonary function, limb coordination, consuming excess fat in the body and delaying human aging.
Abdominal breathing lying flat on the bed, breathing for a long time 100 times to help discharge abdominal waste gas.
Lying flat on the bed and massaging the navel clockwise 100 times will help improve gastrointestinal function.
Tap teeth and nourish kidney
Chinese medicine believes that the kidney dominates the bone and the tooth is the bone. If the kidney is weak, the teeth will loosen and fall off. Sun Simiao, a famous doctor in the Tang Dynasty, advocated "knocking teeth 300 times in the morning" to tonify kidney and strengthen teeth. You can tap your teeth at any time and place, just close your lips gently and tap your upper and lower teeth gently. After chewing, slowly swallow the body fluids in your mouth.
thermal insulation
At this time, the weather began to turn cold, so we should pay attention to keep warm, and we can no longer go shirtless. It is best to change short clothes into long-sleeved trousers, and you can also change blankets into thin quilts when you sleep at night, otherwise you will easily catch a cold and may have discomfort such as knee pain.
In addition to daily life, diet prevention is also very important:
Su Wen on the Method of Dirty Qi says: "The lung governs autumn ... the lung converges, and when eating acid, it is urgently harvested, supplemented with acid, and diarrhea." The weather in autumn is hot and cold, and the cold and dry air in autumn can easily hurt the lungs. Only by keeping the lungs in a state of convergence can we resist external evils. Sour taste converges, spicy taste diverges, and the diet should be less spicy and sour. Usually, we should try to eat less spicy food such as onion, ginger, garlic, pepper and mutton, and eat more sour food such as oranges, persimmons and pomegranates. It is particularly important to note that although the weather is dry, it is not suitable to eat watermelon in autumn, which is easy to hurt the spleen.
At the same time, yam, chicken soup, bone soup, water bamboo, pumpkin, lotus seeds, longan, black sesame, red dates, walnuts and so on. Can play the role of nourishing yin and moistening lung, nourishing stomach and promoting fluid production, but avoid excessive use.
Eat melons in summer and fruits in autumn. If you want to raise five internal organs, these six fruits are indispensable in autumn.
1. Hawthorn: sour, sweet, slightly warm, invigorating spleen and promoting digestion, protecting liver and lowering blood pressure. Taboo: the consumption does not exceed 25 grams, and pregnant women fast.
2. Peanut: sweet and flat, nourishing spleen and stomach, nourishing qi and blood.
3. Chestnuts: tonifying the kidney and strengthening the spleen, benefiting the stomach and calming the liver, tonifying the kidney with raw food, and strengthening the spleen with cooked food.
4. Pear: nourishing yin and moistening lung, relieving cough and resolving phlegm, clearing heat and detoxifying, and those with spleen and stomach deficiency need to be cooked and eaten.
Finally, I wish everyone good health.
