Health characteristics ◆ In autumn, the temperature begins to decrease, the rainfall decreases, the air humidity is relatively low, and the climate tends to be dry. Autumn qi should be in the lungs, and the dry climate in autumn is easy to damage the lung yin, leading to dry mouth and throat, dry cough and less phlegm, dry skin, constipation and other symptoms, and even severe hemoptysis, so autumn health care should be prevented from dryness. ◆ Autumn implies cool autumn in dryness. After people vent excessively in summer, all the tissues and systems of the body are in a state of relative water shortage. If people catch cold from the wind at this time, it will easily lead to a series of symptoms such as headache, stuffy nose, stomach pain and joint pain, and even make old diseases relapse or induce new diseases. Old people and people with weak constitution have poor adaptability and tolerance to this change, so they should pay more attention to cold protection. Health care methods autumn health care lies in nourishing yin and preventing dryness. In autumn, the yang is gradually closed and the yin is gradually born, so maintaining the yin in the body becomes the primary task, and the key to nourishing yin lies in preventing dryness. This principle should be carried out in all aspects of life. Diet conditioning Autumn diet conditioning should follow the principle of "nourishing yin and preventing dryness", and the diet should nourish yin and moisten dryness. The specific plan is as follows: [It is very important to moisten the lungs] Autumn qi should be used on the lungs. Lung is an important respiratory organ of human body and the source of qi, and the rise and fall of lung qi is related to the length of life. The dry climate in autumn is easy to hurt lung yin and make people suffer from respiratory diseases such as dry nose, sore throat, cough and chest pain, so pay attention to nourishing the lungs in diet. Eat foods that nourish yin and moisten dryness, such as tremella, sugar cane, bird's nest, pear, sesame, lotus root, spinach, black-bone chicken, pig lung, soybean milk, caramel, duck eggs, honey, black-bone fish and olives. In addition, you can also eat some medicated diets appropriately, such as: Shenmai Tuanyu, honey steamed lily, olive sour plum soup and so on. [Less spicy and sour] In autumn, the lung function is high. Eating too much spicy food will make the lung qi more vigorous and hurt the liver qi, so eat less spicy food in autumn, such as onions, ginger, garlic, leeks and peppers. On this basis, eat more sour food, such as apple, pomegranate, grape, mango, cherry, grapefruit, lemon, hawthorn, tomato, water chestnut and so on. [Eat more porridge] In early autumn, the weather is still hot, the air is humid, sultry and steaming, and the fruits and vegetables are ripe in autumn, so it is difficult to protect the witness from overeating and damaging the spleen and stomach. Therefore, eating more porridge in autumn morning can not only strengthen the spleen and nourish the stomach, but also bring a refreshing day. We often eat porridge in autumn: hawthorn rice porridge, pear rice porridge, rabbit rice porridge, white radish rice porridge, almond rice porridge, orange peel rice porridge, persimmon rice porridge and so on. 【 Appropriate supplement of fitness soup 】 Autumn diet is based on the principle of nourishing yin and moistening dryness. On this basis, drinking some fitness soup at lunch and dinner every day can moisten the spleen, nourish yin and prevent dryness, on the other hand, it can supplement nutrition and strengthen the body. Common soups eaten in autumn are: lily winter melon soup, pigskin tomato soup, hawthorn sparerib soup, carp hawthorn soup, silver carp head soup, eel soup, red bean crucian carp soup, duck rack tofu soup, wolfberry leaf tofu soup, oyster mushroom tofu soup, oyster mushroom egg soup and mushroom laver soup. [Eat more fish] Autumn is the season that needs tonic, but many people are afraid that a lot of tonic will lead to obesity. You might as well eat fish. The fat content of fish is very low, and the fatty acids in it have been proved to have the effects of lowering blood sugar, protecting the heart and preventing cancer.

The climate changes greatly in autumn. It is hot and humid in early autumn, dry before and after Mid-Autumn Festival, and cool in late autumn. Therefore, people should be vigilant and pay attention to health care in their daily lives. [Sleep regulation] In autumn, when the sky is high and the wind is strong, the lung qi converges, so it is advisable to "go to bed early and get up early", and it is better to lie with your head facing west when sleeping. In late autumn, the climate is cold, so it is not appropriate to sleep with the door closed all day or with your head covered at night. It is necessary to develop the habit of often opening the window and sleeping at night, keep indoor air circulation and reduce respiratory diseases. [Autumn clothes] Autumn clothes especially advocate "autumn freezing". The so-called "autumn freezing" means "autumn is not busy adding clothes", which consciously "freezes" the body. In this way, body heat sweating, sweat evaporation, loss of yin and body fluid and Yin Qi leakage caused by wearing more clothes are avoided, which meets the health needs of storing yin essence and keeping Yin Qi in autumn. In addition, mild cold stimulation can improve the excitability of the brain, increase the blood flow of the skin, accelerate the metabolism of the skin, enhance the cold tolerance of the body, and help avoid diseases such as colds. Of course, "autumn freezing" also varies from person to person and from day to day. If the elderly and children, due to poor physiological function, weak resistance, into the late autumn should pay attention to keep warm; If the temperature drops suddenly and there is rain and snow, don't freeze in autumn again. You should add and subtract clothes in time according to the weather changes, so it is advisable to do some activities without sweating. The climate changes greatly in autumn, so the increase or decrease of clothes should be timely and timely. [Restrain sexual intercourse] Chinese medicine believes that in autumn, attention should be paid to conforming to the laws of natural collection, controlling sexual intercourse and nourishing yin and essence. This is especially important for middle-aged people. Because people over 40 years old, Yin Qi gradually weakened from exuberance, and it is a natural trend to become more depressed in old age. If you can take good care of yourself, don't overdraw your physical strength, and pay attention to nourishing kidney and essence, you can delay aging and achieve longevity, so abstinence for middle-aged people is very necessary. Autumn is crisp, which is a good time to exercise. At this time, human activities are in a state of "harvesting" with climate change, and yin essence and yang spirit are also in a stage of convergence and internal nourishment, so autumn exercise should not be too intense.
