How to "keep fit" this autumn?
This season has passed beginning of autumn. Next, the summer heat gradually fades in the morning and evening, so it's time for us to put how to "keep fit" this autumn on the agenda. There are many folk sayings about health preservation after autumn, including tonic and "frozen in autumn". If you don't pay attention to science, it is easy to cause "harm" in the process of "keeping in good health"! To this end, the reporter invited Chinese medicine health experts to interpret the scientific health preservation method after autumn for you.
One of the common means of "strengthening the body": tonic in autumn
As the saying goes, "there is no disease in summer, and three points are empty." After beginning of autumn, although the climate is cool in the morning and evening, there are still autumn tigers raging, and they are easily tired, weak and in a daze. According to the principle of "nourishing yang in spring and summer and nourishing yin in autumn and winter" in traditional Chinese medicine, it is very necessary to supplement at this time.
Fang Qing, deputy director of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine at Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run At this time, tonic is the best time to restore and adjust the functions of human organs. With a little nourishment, you can get the effect of getting rid of diseases and prolonging life. Those who are prone to chronic heart and lung diseases in winter should lay a good foundation for health care in autumn to enhance their inherent resilience, reduce virus infection and prevent the recurrence of old diseases when winter comes.
"This season is also the season of appetite. At this time, people can maintain a healthy body and vigorous energy through food supplements, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing diseases and delaying aging. " To this end, Dr. Fang made the following suggestions:
Autumn tonic must first regulate the spleen and stomach, and the best policy is to nourish yin and moisten the lungs. Give the spleen and stomach a period of adjustment and adaptation before tonic in autumn. You can first supplement some nutritious and digestible foods to regulate the function of the spleen and stomach. Otherwise, nutrition can not only be absorbed and utilized by human body, but even cause diseases. Such as fish, lean meat, eggs, yam, lotus seeds and so on. In addition, dairy products, beans, fresh vegetables and fruits should be eaten in moderation. Euryale ferox, which can be used as medicine and food, is also a good product for regulating the spleen and stomach. It contains carbohydrates, protein and other substances, and has the functions of nourishing and strengthening the body, invigorating the middle warmer, quenching thirst, strengthening the kidney and nourishing essence. "In addition, the autumn climate is getting colder every day, the air is getting drier and drier, and the damage to the lungs is getting more and more serious. Therefore, it is necessary to nourish yin and moisten the lungs. " Fang Qing said.
The common "health preservation" has two meanings: autumn freezing.
"Spring covers and autumn freezes, miscellaneous diseases don't produce" is a health-preserving proverb that has been circulated since ancient times. "The weather is getting colder and colder. At this time, it is necessary to strengthen cold-proof exercise. It can not only exercise the body's resistance function, but also stimulate the body to gradually adapt to the cold environment, which is conducive to avoiding many diseases. " Wu Xiaohong, deputy chief physician of the Department of Respiratory Medicine of Run Run Run Shaw Hospital, said that the most common disease is respiratory system. In addition, bronchitis, chronic bronchitis and rheumatism are often induced in winter, and freezing exercise in autumn can improve the disease resistance and play a positive preventive role in the occurrence of diseases.
"Although there are many benefits, there are also many precautions for autumn freezing." Wu Xiaohong suggested:
"Autumn freezing" should be based on "weather". When the weather changes gently, it is ok to wear less clothes to make your body feel a little cold, but it is not cold. Once there is strong cold air activity, resulting in a sudden drop in temperature, we still blindly pursue "autumn freezing" without adding clothes to keep warm in time, which not only fails to achieve the purpose of keeping fit, but will bring disaster and illness, and colds and some respiratory diseases will "come uninvited".
"Autumn freezing" should vary from person to person, and it should be done according to one's physical condition, that is, the ability to resist cold and disease, and should not be rushed for success. "At the same time, we must grasp the degree of' autumn freezing'." Wu Xiaohong believes that the understanding of "autumn freezing" should not be limited to adding clothes when it is not cold, but should also be understood in a broad sense, such as cold-resistant exercise to enhance the body's ability to adapt to cold climate. Different ages can choose different exercise programs. No matter what kind of activities, we should pay attention to the word "frozen" and don't sweat. When the whole body is slightly hot and not sweating, we can stop, so as to ensure that the yin essence is restrained and the yang spirit is not "consumed externally".
The common means of "fitness" 3: both physical and mental.
"Body and mind are the highest realm of health care after autumn." Fang Qing summed up from the perspective of TCM health preservation, "mainly including mental conditioning, daily conditioning and exercise conditioning."
Spiritual recuperation should achieve inner peace, spiritual peace, comfortable mood and avoid sadness. Even if you encounter sad things, you should actively resolve them to avoid cold air, and at the same time, you should converge to adapt to the calm air in autumn.
Daily aftercare is to start "going to bed early and getting up early and having fun with chickens" when the weather is crisp in early autumn. Go to bed early to conform to Yang Qi's convergence, get up early to stretch lung qi and prevent excessive convergence. Beginning of autumn is still in early autumn, and the heat is not over yet. Although there is a cool breeze, the weather is changeable. Even in the same area, there will be a situation of "four seasons in one day and different days in ten miles". Therefore, it is not advisable to wear too many clothes, otherwise it will affect the body's ability to adapt to the cold climate and it is easy to catch a cold. It is generally advisable to get up at 5: 30 or 6: 00 in the morning. Choose a quiet place, or a river or lake, or a tree-lined road for exercise, which is good for physical and mental health.
Autumn is a good time for all kinds of exercise, and everyone can choose different exercise programs according to their own specific conditions. Fang Qing introduced a kind of autumn health-keeping exercise to readers, that is, "autumn breathing fitness method". The specific method is: after washing in the morning, close your eyes and sit quietly indoors, knock your teeth 36 times first, and then stir in your mouth with your tongue. When your mouth is full, rinse it several times, swallow it three times, send it to the abdomen, pause for a moment, and take a deep abdominal breath slowly. When inhaling, lick the upper jaw with your tongue, inhale through your nose, and then send it to Tian Dan. Then slowly exhale from your mouth. When exhaling, say the word "Yi" silently, but don't make any noise. Repeat 30 times. Adhering to this work in autumn has the effect of protecting the lungs and strengthening the body.
