Guide to "Avoid Pits" in Autumn Health Care
"Spring and autumn are frozen" to strengthen your body?
Truth: Not everyone is suitable for freezing.
The weather began to turn from hot to cold. However, at this time, many people are not in a hurry to add clothes because of the phrase "spring covers autumn and there is no miscellaneous disease", and think that freezing is healthier. So, is there a scientific basis for this practice?
Jakey, deputy director of the Clinical Nutrition Department of Qinghai Provincial People's Hospital, said, "There is a folk saying that' spring covers the autumn'. Autumn freezing' means that the temperature gets cold in autumn, so don't put on too many clothes too early. In early autumn, the summer heat has not disappeared, so it is necessary to increase clothes too early. Once the temperature rises, you will catch a cold easily. As the temperature drops, cold air can appropriately stimulate the human body and improve the body's adaptability to low temperatures. " Jakey said.
Although "freezing" has some advantages, Jakey suggested that "autumn freezing" should also vary from person to person.
"The method of' autumn freezing' is more suitable for young people or people with good health, while people with poor health and basic diseases, as well as the elderly and children, should change their clothes in time according to the temperature changes, and never blindly pursue' autumn freezing'. It is particularly important to note that it is not appropriate to be shirtless in autumn to prevent colds. " Jakey said.
"Autumn melon rotten belly" hurts the stomach?
Truth: moderate consumption is not a big problem.
There is a folk saying that "autumn melons hurt the stomach". It is believed that eating some melons will affect the gastrointestinal function of human body after the weather turns cold in autumn, because they are cooler. So, is this really the case?
"'autumn melon rotten belly' has some truth." Jakey said that high temperature in summer leads to poor appetite, and people may eat more cold foods such as fruits and cold drinks to prevent heatstroke and cool down. From the perspective of Chinese medicine, if you eat too much cold food, your spleen and stomach may be affected to some extent after a summer. The weather is dry in autumn, and many people supplement their water by eating melons and fruits. The melons and fruits they often eat are cold. If you eat too much, it is easy to cause gastrointestinal diseases.
"But actually don't be too afraid of' autumn melon'. It doesn't mean that you can't eat melons and fruits at all in autumn, just in moderation and don't eat too much. " Jakey said.
In addition, Jakey suggested that we should pay special attention to the quality of fruits and vegetables in autumn, and be careful to eat spoiled fruits and vegetables.
Autumn is a season suitable for the growth and reproduction of bacteria. After the hot summer, the human body's resistance drops, and all kinds of germs are easy to take advantage of it. Eating unclean or deteriorated fruits and vegetables can easily cause intestinal diseases.
How did bacteria get in? Jakey said that melons and fruits with damaged surfaces are the most easily polluted and should be thrown away. Because the surface of the fruit is damaged, it shows that microorganisms have penetrated into the pulp through the juice. The juice contains a lot of microorganisms and other harmful substances, but it can't be recognized by the naked eye. Once eaten, it is easy to cause gastrointestinal diseases.
"I suggest that you eat raw fruits and vegetables in autumn, you must choose good quality, and at the same time pay attention to hygiene. Wash the fruits and vegetables before eating, and be careful to get sick from your mouth." Jakey prompts.
Do you need to be "sticky" when you go to Qiu Lai in summer?
Truth: There is no need to make up for it.
Sticking autumn fat is a traditional custom in China.
"The weather is hot in summer, and people's appetite is generally affected. After beginning of autumn, the weather turned cold and people's appetite began to increase. I hope to eat more to supplement the consumption in summer and prepare for winter. But in fact, with the improvement of people's living standards and the increasingly rich material life, we don't need to deliberately' post-autumn'. " Jakey explained.
"Not everyone is suitable for' insisting on autumn fertilizer'. If you really want to adhere to autumn fertilizer, you should also adhere to it, especially the elderly, otherwise it will be counterproductive. " Song Li, deputy chief physician of the Endocrinology Department of Yinchuan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, believes that beginning of autumn's proper tonic can improve the function of human organs, but it varies from person to person. For the elderly, children, people with stomach fire or obesity, and patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, the intake of high protein and high fat must be moderate, otherwise it is easy to get angry or cause indigestion.
Song Li said that at present, there is basically no problem of malnutrition among ordinary people. Eating too much meat is not easy to digest, but too much fat and sugar will make the body overwhelmed and cause a series of problems in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and metabolism.
"It should be noted that the autumn tonic should be gradual and should not be rushed. Therefore, tonic in autumn should be based on "flat tonic", especially for the elderly and children with weak gastrointestinal function. Drinking light and digestible health porridge is more conducive to good health. " Song Li suggested.
Song Li said that people with weak spleen and stomach, patients with hypertension, coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, diabetes and hyperuricemia, and people who are already overweight are not suitable for "sticking to autumn". Old people, children and other special people should pay attention to digestion before tonic because of their weak digestive function, so they may wish to eat hawthorn in moderation.
