The way to preserve health in autumn harvest and winter storage;
In autumn and winter, attention should be paid to maintaining a balanced body temperature, a balanced diet, regular work and rest, and moderate exercise to achieve the goal of "harvesting in autumn and storing in winter". We should adjust our lifestyle and eating habits in autumn and winter to adapt to climate change and protect our health. Following this principle can help people prevent diseases, enhance immunity and improve the adaptability of the body.
1, autumn is when gold is dry, and the climate is dry, which is easy to hurt body fluid and yin. Therefore, the "autumn harvest" is to converge the yang in autumn, protect body fluids, and avoid excessive sweating and excessive physical exertion. Including avoiding strenuous exercise, overwork and frequent sweating, keeping the indoor air moist as much as possible, and paying attention to replenishing water to keep the body moist.
2, winter is when the water is cold, and the cold weather may lead to insufficient yang, which is easy to hurt yang. Therefore, "winter storage" is to maintain the yang in winter, keep warm and cold, and enhance the body's resistance. This can be achieved by appropriately increasing calorie intake, choosing warm food, such as spicy products such as ginger, onion and garlic, and keeping warm to avoid catching cold.
3. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, autumn and winter also have different nursing priorities for various organs. For example, we should pay attention to the maintenance of the lungs in autumn, because the lungs govern qi, and autumn is vulnerable to dry colds; Pay attention to the maintenance of kidney in winter, because the kidney mainly stores sperm, and winter is the most vigorous time for kidney yang.
