Specific means of health preservation can be selected from the following aspects:
1, mental health (mental health): The key is to be calm, comfortable and restrained. In layman's terms, it is to stabilize the mood.
"Autumn should be in the lungs, and the lungs are worried about their ambitions." Every autumn, when the autumn wind is bleak, the autumn rain is continuous, and thousands of trees are dying, people tend to feel sad and depressed, and some sentimental people often become depressed and sad in this autumn rain.

You should take part in some wholesome recreational activities, such as dancing, singing, listening to music, chatting with friends and taking a walk in nature. Fresh air can not only enhance your breathing and blood circulation, but also regulate and soothe your nervous system, making you forget your troubles, feel comfortable and refreshed.
2. Fitness (daily life): There is a saying in Huangdi Neijing: "Go to bed early and get up early, and enjoy chickens". Go to bed early to adapt to the convergence of yin and essence, and get up early to adapt to the relaxation of yang.
It is not advisable to close the door all day, stay up late or sleep with your head covered. It is necessary to develop the habit of living with windows open and sleeping in the open air, keep indoor air circulation and prevent respiratory tract infection. You can raise some flowers and plants indoors, and you can also use a humidifier to adjust the air humidity and maintain a certain indoor humidity.
Appropriately increase the amount of drinking water, and it is suggested to control it at about 2000ml per day to replenish water in the body and maintain the function of clearing lung-qi.
3, surgery (exercise): mainly aerobic exercise.
People of different ages and constitutions can choose suitable sports according to their own conditions, such as running and walking, so as to improve the physiological function of the lungs and the tolerance of the body. There is a simple exercise method, and the daily walking amount is controlled at around 10000 steps. The key is to persevere, don't rush to exercise on weekends, or brush the screen for friends, exercise excessively, and damage your joints.
You can also do "autumn freezing" exercise, cold water bath, nourish yin and moisten dryness according to your physical condition to improve your cold resistance. The crisp autumn is a good time for outdoor sports and travel.
4, diet nutrition (dietotherapy): summed up in one sentence: "Autumn dryness should moisten the lungs, avoid spicy lung dryness and hurt the liver, nourish yin and increase acid."
Dietotherapy is an important part of health preservation. Because dryness hurts the lungs, we should eat less spicy food to prevent pungent food from adding fuel to the fire and aggravating the symptoms of lung dryness. From the perspective of the five elements of traditional Chinese medicine, the lung belongs to gold, and the liver belongs to wood. Wang Jin can resist wood and damage the liver wood. Therefore, we should eat some sour food properly, because acid enters the liver, which can strengthen the liver wood and prevent excessive lung qi from damaging the liver. Sour food can restrain liver qi and protect the liver, and can't be overdone.

You can also eat more nuts, such as almonds, walnuts, peanuts, sesame seeds, melon seeds and pine nuts. , all have the function of nourishing liver and kidney, moistening dryness and smoothing intestines.
Less spicy and sour taste means eating less spicy food such as onion, ginger, garlic and pepper; Eat more acidic fruits: apples, grapes, pomegranate, carambola, lemon, grapefruit, hawthorn, loquat and so on.
5. Drug maintenance (drug regimen): The principle of drug regimen is "nourishing body fluid".
