"Sticking autumn fat" is based on the principle of nourishing yin and moistening lung.
"Nourishing Yin in autumn and winter" in Huangdi Neijing refers to nourishing and storing Qi in autumn and winter to adapt to the law of gradual growth and exuberance of Yin in nature, thus laying a foundation for the growth of Yang in the coming year, and should not consume essence to hurt Yin.
Health preservation in autumn should start with "lung", and "nourishing yin and preventing dryness" is the basic principle. "Chinese medicine believes that the corresponding human organs in autumn are lungs, nourishing yang in spring and summer, nourishing yin in autumn and winter, and the dry climate in autumn is easy to hurt lung yin. Therefore, diet should pay attention to nourishing the lungs, and autumn diet should follow the principle of nourishing yin and moistening the lungs. " Li Xingchao, the attending physician of acupuncture department of Jinan First People's Hospital, introduced.
Autumn diet should be based on the principle of nourishing yin and moistening lung, and nourishing lung should first strengthen spleen and stomach. Lily and honey are both good choices. Eat less spicy and greasy food. The elderly and infirm can eat porridge in the morning, such as lotus seed porridge, tremella rock sugar glutinous rice porridge, almond fritillary bulb glutinous rice porridge, black sesame porridge and so on. It can not only strengthen the spleen and nourish the stomach, but also bring a refreshing day.
Regarding the custom of "pasting autumn fertilizer", Li Xingchao explained: "The weather is hot in summer, and there is a saying that summer is bitter. People lose weight if they have a bad appetite. Sticking autumn fertilizer before the cold weather can prepare for resisting the cold. "
Li Xingchao reminded that in the past, the living conditions were poor, and in order to prevent the lack of food in winter, autumn would make up for it appropriately, so there was the saying of putting on autumn fat. Now that material life is rich, it is easy to suffer from hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia and so on.
Tonics such as cream should be different according to the constitution.
In tonic in autumn, Han, director and deputy chief physician of the Center for Prevention and Health Care of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said, "People have nine constitutions, namely, peace, qi deficiency, yang deficiency, yin deficiency, idiosyncrasy, qi stagnation and blood stasis. Yin deficiency should nourish yin, yang deficiency should warm up, and blood stasis should soothe the liver. We prepare different creams for patients according to different constitutions of the human body. "
However, Han reminded everyone that tonic ointment must be taken under the guidance of a doctor, and the formula of each course of treatment has changed according to the changes of people's physique. For example, some nourishing yin supplements, if taken by people with yang deficiency constitution, will be harmful to the body if eaten too much.
Han believes that when taking supplements, regardless of the actual situation, we should pay attention not to take supplements without illness: "If you are not a deficiency patient, you can only prescribe the right medicine, otherwise it will be counterproductive." Moreover, the tonic should be appropriate, and it is forbidden to take medicine and advocate food supplement.
Doing more exercise is the best way to deal with the "autumn famine"
As the saying goes, "Spring is sleepy and autumn is lacking." Autumn deficiency is a protective reaction such as burnout, fatigue and listlessness caused by the human body to make up for the extraordinary consumption in summer. It is a normal reaction of the human body. "Especially in modern society, everyone's work and life pressure is great, and the adjustment of emotions is very important, and its role even far exceeds the influence of dietary supplements." Li Xingchao said.
The best way to prevent autumn deficiency and regulate mood is proper exercise. "The cool weather in autumn is a good time to exercise. Pay special attention to cold-resistant exercises, such as morning exercises, brisk walking and jogging. To improve our resistance to diseases. " Li Xingchao said, but when you exercise, you should also be careful not to exercise too hard suddenly.
At best, you can stop exercising until your back is slightly sweaty or you feel tired. Some people sit in an office for a week and like to exercise for a few hours on weekends, which is not desirable. We walk every day. It is the simplest and most convenient exercise to speed up and swing your arms as much as possible.
Proper "autumn freezing" can improve body resistance.
Huangdi Neijing said: "Autumn and March are peaceful, the weather is urgent, the atmosphere is clear, people lie down early and get up early, and have fun with chickens to make them peaceful." Han explained that this means that the weather gets cold in autumn, the yang decreases and the yin increases. Go to bed early and get up early to keep calm.
Western medicine has also proved that getting up early in autumn, lying for a few minutes before getting up and stretching the whole body are of great significance to prevent thrombosis. "We'd better fall asleep before 1 1 every day, because childhood is a period of liver and gallbladder operation and immune system self-repair. Nowadays, many young people stay up late and are easily sad. " Han keeps saying.
In China tradition, there is also a saying that "spring covers the autumn". "According to the principle of" spring covers autumn and freezing ",don't rush to add clothes in autumn, let the body freeze properly, and the yin and yang in the body will be more harmonious. Experiencing some cold exercise is also an important way to enhance the body's adaptability to the cold climate in autumn. " Han dui said: but "autumn freezing" varies from person to person and from day to day, and should not be "frozen for the sake of freezing"
Pay attention to prevent respiratory diseases and neck, shoulder, waist and leg pain.
After autumn, the weather gets cold and the climate becomes dry. It is this "coolness" that leads to lower and lower temperatures, which often leads to various diseases, especially respiratory problems, and various symptoms such as pharyngitis and cough also follow.
If we don't pay attention to prevention, it will easily lead to a series of symptoms such as headache, stuffy nose, stomach pain and joint pain, and even make old diseases relapse or induce new diseases. The elderly and the physically weak have poor adaptability and tolerance to this change, so they should pay more attention to cold protection.
At the same time, there are high incidence of intestinal infectious diseases and insect-borne infectious diseases in early autumn, such as dysentery, infectious diarrhea caused by rotavirus infection and dengue fever. The temperature is low in late autumn, and respiratory infectious diseases are easy to break out, including influenza and asthma. Li Xingchao said that acupuncture is an effective means to treat high incidence in autumn. "Recently, the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, rainy and humid. The number of patients with upper cervical pain and arthritis has increased significantly, mainly due to the cold in autumn and the invasion of cold pathogens. In view of this situation, acupuncture treatment has a good effect. "
At ordinary times, we should develop the habit of often opening windows for ventilation, keep indoor air circulation and reduce respiratory diseases. Patients with cervical vertebra, low back and leg pain should also pay attention to the fact that the cold starts from the feet. Soaking and warming the feet at ordinary times can effectively prevent and relieve the pain, and try not to blow air conditioners in the morning and evening.
