The principle of "nourishing yin and moistening lung, increasing acidity with less pungent" should be observed in diet to adapt to the climate characteristics of cold dew. Spicy and irritating food is easy to cause lung dryness, and autumn is the most sensitive and fragile time for the lungs, so autumn is the most unsuitable time to eat spicy food. Diet health, make necessary adjustments according to personal physical condition, there are several points to pay special attention to:
(1) Eat more sweet and light nourishing food: it can not only nourish the spleen and stomach, but also nourish the lungs and moisten the intestines, and prevent and treat dry throat and mouth. Fruits include pears, persimmons, bananas, etc. Vegetables include carrots, wax gourd, lotus root, tremella and beans, fungi, kelp and laver.
(2) Eat warm food for breakfast: it is best to drink hot porridge, while japonica rice and glutinous rice have excellent functions of strengthening the spleen and stomach and invigorating the middle qi, such as sugarcane porridge, Polygonatum odoratum porridge, Adenophora adenophora porridge, raw porridge and Polygonatum porridge, which are all good choices.
(3) The elderly and patients with chronic diseases should eat more red dates, lotus seeds, yams, ducks, fish, meat and other foods.
(4) Avoid eating too much spicy food: Chili is called "spicy food" in Chinese medicine, which has a great "divergent" effect. If you eat too much spicy food, you will easily "consume gas". Therefore, if you eat too much spicy food, you will feel weak and tired easily. At the time of cold dew, what the body needs most is to nourish yin and replenish essence, and avoid the leakage of yang spirit. Eating too much spicy food is easy to cause the loss of yin and body fluid and make the deficiency fire hurt the body.
2, daily life:
(1) Cold and warm: The weather is cold and cold, and the temperature difference between day and night is large. Doing a good job of keeping warm is the first step. "Cold dew does not expose the feet", and cold protection should start from the feet, which are farthest from the heart, so the blood supply is very small, and the fat layer of the feet is very thin and easily stimulated. Cold feet is a very easy phenomenon. Some women and the elderly often have cold hands and feet, and cold feet can easily cause contraction of mucous membranes and capillaries in the upper respiratory tract. However, the respiratory tract is extremely sensitive to cold air stimulation, and its resistance decreases, so diseases and pathogens will take advantage of it. It can cause exogenous cough, and it can cause respiratory diseases such as tracheitis and asthma.
Another key point of the cold protection work is not to be shirtless. Girls wearing sleeveless clothes can often be seen on the street. In fact, exposing their arms simply for the sake of beauty has many adverse effects on health. "The white dew keeps the body hidden, and the cold dew keeps the feet hidden"-this is the best way to keep fit. In addition, autumn is the season with frequent diarrhea, and keeping the abdomen warm can effectively prevent diarrhea.
(2) Go to bed early and get up early to ensure sleep: In autumn, you should go to bed early and get up early to ensure adequate sleep and pay attention to the combination of work and rest, which will not only improve your physical state, but also your mental state. In late autumn, the cold attacks people, so we should not only prevent colds and colds, but also open doors and windows frequently to keep the indoor air fresh.
(3) Indoor moisturizing: The climate in autumn is easy to dry, especially after the cold dew, and the drying phenomenon becomes more and more obvious. At this time, indoor moisturizing work will begin. If conditions permit, some green flowers can be planted in and around the room, which can make the environment full of vitality, purify the air and promote health. The green plants suitable for indoor display in autumn are: green radish, rich bamboo, hyacinthus orientalis, evergreen with flowers and leaves, etc.
3, exercise health:
Life lies in exercise. In cold dew season, the temperature drops seriously, and people's immunity is relatively insufficient. At this time, it is necessary to increase exercise to keep fit, and at the same time, we need to pay attention to the choice of exercise to avoid physical discomfort caused by excessive exercise. So how to exercise healthily in cold dew season?
(1) Walking and jogging: The temperature changes greatly before and after the cold dew, from cool at first to cold, and many people can't adapt to it in time. It is not suitable for doing too strenuous exercise during this time. Walking and jogging, which are gentle exercises, are the best choices, which can exercise the muscles of the whole body and increase the body yang appropriately.
(2) Climbing the mountain to make autumn sad: China is known as the custom of climbing the mountain on the Double Ninth Festival. At this time, climbing the mountain can not only reminisce about the past and cultivate one's sentiments, but also help people to put aside their work troubles, relieve their stress and relax themselves through contact with nature. Therefore, in the season when the air is crisp in autumn and the sky is high and the clouds are light, it is of great benefit to climb the mountain and overlook it, and shout a few times to exhale the polluted air in their chests. This is the traditional Chinese medicine meaning of "burning gold" and "happiness wins sorrow", and this climbing activity has a good effect of spreading lung.
(3) Yoga cultivates sentiment: the ambient temperature is low in cold dew season, which is not suitable for excessive outdoor exercise. Indoor exercise is a good choice, and yoga is the best choice. Yoga is also a whole-body exercise, which has the effect of activating bones and muscles and dredging blood vessels in late autumn when there is less exercise. In addition, meditation can be performed before and after yoga to adjust people's spirit.
(4) Precautions: Avoid excessive exercise intensity! You can choose different sports to exercise according to your personal situation, and long-term persistence can enhance your cardiopulmonary function. Walking and climbing mountains are all good choices. However, the intensity should not be too high at the beginning, and the amount of exercise should be gradually increased. If you exercise excessively, it will increase the fatigue of the human body, which is not conducive to physical recovery. Exercise until your body sweats slightly. Don't undress and take off your hat at this time to avoid catching a cold in the cold wind. You can wear it slightly thinner before exercise, so as to avoid sweating a lot during exercise and catching cold.
4, mental health:
It is very important to recuperate the spirit in the cold dew season. At this time, the climate is getting colder and drier, the sunshine is reduced, the wind is blowing and the leaves are falling, which is easy to cause a sense of desolation in people's hearts, and emotional instability and sadness are easy to appear. Therefore, maintaining a good attitude is also one of the indispensable contents of health care.
(1) Regulating emotions: Chinese medicine believes that sadness is an emotion that hurts the body, and at the same time, excessive excitement makes the yang float, which is easy to cause diseases. Therefore, we should maintain a good and healthy attitude, vent bad emotions in time, and make our mood calm, optimistic and open-minded. Usually, take part in more things you like, do more exercise, cultivate sentiment and stabilize mood.
(2) Sweep away depression: The number of patients with depression is obviously increasing in autumn. In late autumn, people need to maintain a good attitude, vent their depressed feelings, cultivate an optimistic and open-minded heart, and usually do more exercise to achieve the purpose of venting their emotions. In sunny weather, going out to watch the scenery, the joy is beyond words, which can make the melancholy and worry disappear, make people relaxed and happy, and add infinite fun to life. This is a point that cannot be ignored in autumn health care.
