Especially middle-aged and elderly people, during this period, they should pay more attention to health preservation and recuperate the spleen, lungs, heart, liver and kidney, so as to gain a strong body, good health and less illness in the second half of the year.
As we all know, it is necessary to "cover" in spring and "freeze" in autumn, so how to "freeze" in autumn is more conducive to health?
What is "autumn freezing"?
Autumn, as a season that inherits the intense heat and the severe cold, plays a transitional role between cold and heat, which is very important, because it not only eliminates the summer heat in the first half of the year, but also lays a good foundation for the human body to resist the cold and freezing in the second half.
Winter is the coldest season. At this time, many middle-aged and elderly people have decreased immunity, deteriorated bones, and various diseases on the body are "ready to move". Arthritis, rheumatism, body cold and other symptoms followed. Therefore, it is very important to take defensive measures in autumn.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the human body is inextricably linked with nature, and the human body will change with the rapid change of nature. At the turn of summer and autumn, the balance of yin and yang in human body is easy to be broken, health will be destroyed, and diseases will have a "breakthrough". At this time, letting the human body accept the "test" of freezing can strengthen the body's defense mechanism, improve the body's resistance, and better face the next low temperature.
However, it should be noted that when the temperature begins to drop below 15℃, it is not appropriate to continue, and attention should be paid to cold and warmth to avoid catching a cold.
How to "freeze" in autumn?
Not just "freezing"
Chinese medicine believes that just after the summer heat, you don't have to be busy adding clothes, you can wrap yourself up. The coat can be thinned according to the temperature. You can't wear too much at once, so that the body's own defense system loses its value, and you can't freeze it blindly. When you feel that the temperature drops obviously, you should put on clothes to prevent cold, instead of covering it too tightly at the beginning of cooling, but everything is limited by the body's ability to accept.
Some parts cannot be "frozen"
Although proper "freezing" can enhance the immunity of the body, some parts of the body, such as abdomen, neck, knee joint, waist and feet, must not be frozen. No matter what season, these parts are the top priority of our maintenance, and we can't easily get cold, so as not to induce diseases and cause pain.
Chinese medicine believes that it is necessary to "eat free food" in autumn. Many white foods have the effect of nourishing and moistening the lungs. If you eat some from time to time after autumn, your lungs will appreciate you.
lotus root
Many people like to eat lotus roots. Lotus root, as a food with high starch content, is not very popular with dieters. However, in addition to starch, lotus root also contains nutrients such as calcium, iron, vitamins and protein. If eaten in moderation after autumn, it can stimulate appetite and moisten dryness, relieve cough and moisten lung, and has high nourishing value. You can usually cold lotus root or cook it, and you can get a good lung nourishing effect.
lily
Many friends like to add lilies to soup or porridge. Lily has long been used as a dual-purpose food for clearing away lung heat and relieving cough. Lily is rich in vitamins and trace elements, which can soothe the nerves and moisten the lungs, and is best eaten in autumn. The human body is prone to catch a cold in autumn. Eating lily lotus seed porridge as early as possible at this time can prevent the invasion of cold and protect the lungs from stimulation.
Summary: Autumn is the harvest season. I hope that everyone can do a good job of "autumn freezing" in the early stage, raise their lungs and harvest a healthy body instead of harvesting a disease! Start early, enjoy early, and those who finish reading don't delay.
