After the cold dew solar term, the days are getting shorter and shorter, the nights are getting longer and longer, the sunshine is getting less and less, the hot air is slowly receding, and the cold is gradually growing. The temperature difference between day and night is large, and I feel a little chilly in the morning and evening.
According to the climate characteristics, autumn is getting stronger in the south, the air is cool and cool, and the north is entering or about to enter winter from late autumn with little rain and dryness.
As the saying goes, "White dew does not show the body, cold dew does not show the feet." This proverb reminds everyone that once the Millennium solar term is over, you can no longer go shirtless when you wear clothes; After the cold dew solar term, you should pay attention to keep your feet warm. In the season of alternating autumn and winter, it is very important for health to reasonably arrange the food, clothing, housing and transportation in autumn and adapt to climate change as much as possible.
Go to bed early and get up early, and exercise moderately.
After the cold dew, the days are short and the nights are long, and the "yang" in nature begins to converge and precipitate. Going to bed early can conform to the convergence of yang, and getting up early can stretch lung qi, so it is necessary to "go to bed early and get up early" for autumn health preservation. In the cold season, proper physical exercise can enhance physical fitness.
Add salt before honey to nourish yin and prevent dryness.
Drinking salt water during the day and honey water at night can not only replenish human moisture, but also prevent constipation caused by autumn dryness. Eat less spicy, stimulating and smoked foods, and eat more foods that nourish yin and moisten dryness, and benefit the stomach and promote fluid production.
Dietary health care should be based on a balanced diet of five flavors. Eating more sweet, light and moist foods according to individual specific conditions can not only replenish the spleen and stomach, but also moisten the lungs and intestines, and prevent dry throat and mouth. Recommended fruits are pears, persimmons and bananas. Vegetables include carrots, wax gourd, lotus root, tremella and beans, fungi, kelp and seaweed.

Middle-aged and elderly people and patients with chronic diseases should eat more red dates, lotus seeds, yams, ducks, fish, meat and other foods.
