1, autumn health preservation
In autumn, the temperature begins to decrease, the rainfall decreases, the air humidity decreases relatively, and the climate tends to be dry. Chinese medicine believes that dryness is the main qi in autumn, which is called "autumn dryness". Its qi is clear and dry. Dryness hurts people and easily consumes body fluids. As the saying goes, "dryness is better than dryness". When the body fluid is consumed, there will be dryness. The dry climate in autumn is easy to damage lung yin, leading to dry mouth and throat, dry cough with little phlegm, dry skin, constipation and other symptoms, and even severe cases of hemoptysis, so autumn health care should first pay attention to prevention of dryness.
The lung governs qi, regulates breathing, opens the nose to collect moss, and the season is autumn. The lungs are fine and dirty, "like moistening dryness, hate dryness", and are vulnerable to external evils, especially in autumn.
Therefore, we should pay attention to nourishing the lungs in autumn, prevent autumn dryness from hurting the lungs, and make the lungs clear and harmonious, and breathe peacefully. In order to cope with the dryness in autumn, it is imperative to nourish yin and moisten dryness. Drinking more water is a good way to get rid of "autumn dryness", but drinking only boiled water is not appropriate. The best way is "salt water and honey soup at night", that is, drink some salt water during the day and honey water at night. This is not only a good way to replenish water, but also a good way to preserve health and resist aging in autumn. At the same time, it can prevent constipation caused by autumn dryness, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the lungs of the five internal organs correspond to the five colors of white. Therefore, eating white food often in autumn can get the effect of moistening the lungs. You can choose white radish, cabbage, wax gourd, lily, tremella, lotus root, lotus seed and other foods in your life. For obese people, you can eat more fish fillets, tofu, water bamboo and other foods that have a certain inhibitory effect on appetite. People with stomach deficiency and fear of cold should eat less white food such as cabbage and white radish in autumn. When choosing food, people with allergies should give priority to warm and nourishing white food, such as white lotus, yam and lily. Products such as Radix Adenophorae, Bulbus Lilii, Radix Ophiopogonis, and Fructus Lycii that nourish yin and moisten dryness can also be added to the medicated diet.
Specifically, the autumn diet should follow the principle of "nourishing yin and preventing dryness", and the diet should be nourishing yin, moist and juicy.
In autumn, the lung function is on the high side. Eating too much spicy food will make the lung qi more vigorous and further 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, mango, cherry, grapefruit, lemon, hawthorn, tomato, water chestnut and so on. At the same time, we should eat more foods that nourish yin and moisten dryness, such as tremella, sugarcane, pear, sesame, lotus root, spinach, nail fish, silky fowl, pig lung, maltose, duck eggs, honey, nail fish, olives and so on. Eat more sesame seeds, walnuts, glutinous rice, honey, sugar cane, etc. It can nourish yin, moisten lung and nourish blood. In addition, you can also eat some medicated diets appropriately, such as: Shenmai Tuanyu, honey steamed lily, olive sour plum soup and so on. In short, the principle is to increase acid with less bitterness.
Eat more porridge: the weather is still hot in early autumn, 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, which will damage 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. In autumn, we often eat porridge: 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. Fitness soup needs to be supplemented.
Autumn diet is based on 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.
