After the White Dew, autumn is getting colder, which is the real dividing line between hot and cold weather. At this time, "Yin qi is getting heavier, dew is condensed and white"; Especially in the morning and evening, it will drop cold and condense dew. From a somatosensory point of view, it is completely in autumn.
The temperature difference between day and night is large and the weather is dry.
Various diseases are also coming one after another.
respiratory diseases
Dermatoid diseases
intestines and stomach disease
Cardiovascular disease
……
So how to maintain health at this stage? Sun Liming, director, chief physician and professor of the Department of Endocrinology, Zhongji Shengjing Geriatrics Hospital, Liaoning Province, will take stock of the correct health "posture" in the "White Dew" stage for everyone to help them spend autumn and winter healthily and comfortably.
1. Bushen Qi
At this time, the north has turned cold, and the most important thing to pay attention to is to replenish kidney qi. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "the kidney opens to the ear, the waist is the house of the kidney, and the kidney is supplemented by warmth."
And the method of tonifying kidney qi is not difficult, one bubble and two rubs can be:
Soak-insist on soaking your feet in warm water at night. The water doesn't reach your ankles, and it is best to soak your body and sweat slightly.
Two rubs-rub your ears and waist while soaking your feet to nourish your kidney.
2. keep yang qi
As the saying goes, "The White Dew does not expose the body" is to remind us that after the White Dew, we can't be naked like in summer. If we play shirtless again, we may catch cold, make our spleen and stomach cold, and then cause acute diarrhea. Cold is easy to invade from the soles of your feet or joints, so it is best not to wear clothes such as vests, short skirts and shorts. When you sleep at night, you should also remove the mat to cover your stomach and protect your kidney. When the yang is protected, it is not so easy to be afraid of the cold in winter.
Step 3 moisten lung qi
In the Millennium stage, the climate is still dry, and it is easy to consume body fluids, resulting in dry and bitter mouth and throat, dry stool and chapped skin. People with respiratory diseases such as rhinitis, asthma and tracheitis are also prone to relapse.
Therefore, lung qi should continue to "moisten". The simplest thing is to eat more white food, which can enter and moisten the lungs, such as tremella, pears, yam and so on.
1. You should eat pears.
Autumn dryness should be prevented in the Millennium stage, and pears can moisten dryness, relieve cough and reduce fire. Eating pears in autumn can not only promote fluid production and moisten dryness, but also clear away heat and resolve phlegm.
Because the pear itself is cool, children and the elderly should not eat more. You can add rock sugar to make pear soup, which not only reduces the coolness, but also has a better moistening effect.
2. Eat longan.
Li Shizhen recorded in Compendium of Materia Medica that "litchi is the most expensive food, while longan is the best resource", which shows that he highly praised longan. Longan itself is rich in nutrition, which can not only replenish qi and spleen, but also nourish blood and soothe the nerves, moisturize and beautify. Longan also helps to treat anemia, insomnia and neurasthenia.
Step 3 eat walnuts
The farmer's proverb says, "White dew beats walnuts and eats walnuts." The Millennium season is the mature season of walnuts, and it is also the most nutritious. Walnut, as one of the four major nuts, has the reputation of "Long live the fruit", "longevity fruit" and "treasure of health preservation". Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it can warm the lungs and relieve asthma, moisten the intestines and relieve constipation, and enhance the body yang. The weather gets cold in the Millennium season, and it is most suitable to eat walnuts to warm up the body.
1. Early to bed and early to rise
Nowadays, we will find that the morning is getting late, the yang is gradually converging, and the yin is beginning to prevail. Therefore, people's daily life should also adapt to this change, try to go to bed early and get up early, and do appropriate activities after getting up, which can help the lung qi to spread. In addition, the air is fresh in the autumn morning, and getting up early is conducive to breathing fresh air in the lungs and maintaining lung vitality.
2. Exercise moderately
During the Millennium season, the physiological functions of the human body are weakened, so it is necessary to exercise properly, increase the cardiopulmonary function and increase the cold resistance of the body. Young people can run, play ball and climb mountains, while old people can walk, tai chi and jog. Mainly sweating moderately without fatigue, which helps to regulate qi and blood in the body. After exercising, you can take a deep breath, close your eyes, regulate your heart, lungs, qi and blood, and keep your body and mind healthy.
Step 3 beware of allergies
Autumn is the season of high incidence of allergies. With dry air, frequent climate changes and enhanced ultraviolet rays, people's skin and respiratory tract are prone to allergic phenomena. Among them, allergic rhinitis, dermatitis and asthma are the main symptoms.
In terms of daily diet, we should pay attention to the nutritional balance, and eat more milk, freshwater fish, bean products and fresh vegetables and fruits to enhance skin resistance. Avoid eating salty fish, shrimp, crabs and other foods that can easily cause allergies.
For sensitive skin, pay attention to skin hydration and use less irritating cosmetics. If you are allergic for more than a week, you can go to the hospital to check the allergens, and if possible, you can install an air purifier at home.
