Due to the hot weather in summer and loss of appetite, people generally lose weight, and some people feel that they need supplements in autumn. Actually, "beginning of autumn" still belongs to the midsummer season. If you eat supplements blindly at this time, eating too much meat and nutrition will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, but it will not play a nourishing role, which is equal to "free eating." The real "autumn fat" is estimated to be around 10 months. Therefore, the diet should be light at this stage. When the weather turns cold, you can drink some broth like sparerib soup, and then eat beef and mutton in late autumn.
The humidity in Wuhan is relatively high. At this time, the tonic can be based on the "summer tonic" method of strengthening the spleen and promoting diuresis, nourishing yin and moistening dryness, and you can eat more nourishing foods such as Dangshen, lotus seeds, lilies and Pogostemon. After the real autumn, tonic is mainly based on "moistening the lungs". Diet should be "less spicy and more sour", because lung qi should be collected but not scattered, and spicy foods such as onions, ginger and peppers will spread lung qi, so try to eat less; Sour fruits and vegetables such as tomatoes, oranges and pomegranates can inhibit lung qi, so you can eat more appropriately.
In addition to diet, we should also pay attention to regulating emotions. "Sad autumn" is the most likely to hurt the lungs. People with lung qi deficiency are not only prone to get sick, but also induce psychological diseases such as depression. Maintaining a good mental state and doing some relaxing exercises can also achieve the effect of nourishing the lungs.
2, the temperature changes greatly, beware of stroke.
After beginning of autumn, the temperature rises and falls, and it is cold in the morning and evening, and hot at noon. The temperature difference sometimes exceeds 10 degrees. For patients with hypertension, arteriosclerosis, heart disease and diabetes, beware of stroke.
The sudden drop in temperature will increase blood pressure, easily lead to cerebral vascular rupture and bleeding, and at the same time increase the content of coagulation factors in blood, which will lead to cerebral thrombosis. In addition, the dry weather in autumn, the relative lack of water in human body and the increase of blood viscosity are also easy to cause cerebral thrombosis.
Old people should pay attention to weather changes, increase or decrease clothing and quilts in time, and pay attention to preventing colds; Have a light diet, eat more fruits and vegetables, and get enough protein; Ensure adequate sleep and moderate exercise; Pay attention to regulating emotions and maintain a good psychological and mental state; Drink a proper amount of water, drink one cup in the morning and one cup in the evening, and drink several times more. After the activity, replenish water in time to ensure the relative balance of water content in the blood.
3. Strictly prevent respiratory diseases from "settling accounts after autumn"
In autumn, "the yang is getting weaker and the yin is getting longer", the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is large in the morning and evening, and the respiratory tract is vulnerable to cold stimulation. In addition, dry air reduces the defense ability of respiratory mucosa. At this time, pathogenic microorganisms are easy to take advantage of it and make people catch a cold. Moreover, some patients with chronic respiratory diseases are more sensitive to climate change and prone to recurrent attacks this season. "For respiratory diseases that like to settle accounts after the autumn, we must increase or decrease clothes in time, especially the warmth of the neck, head and back." Professor Wang Xinwei, director of the Respiratory Department of Sun Yat-sen Hospital, suggested that when going out or riding an electric car or motorcycle in the morning and evening, it is best to prepare an extra coat so as to increase or decrease clothes at any time; Ventilation and humidification, the bedroom should be ventilated with more windows to speed up air circulation and keep the air fresh. Indoor humidity can be adjusted by drying towels and clothes or using a humidifier; Pay attention to personal hygiene, go to public places less, wash your hands frequently, take a bath frequently, change clothes frequently, and dry clothes and quilts frequently. Go to crowded public places as little as possible, and wear masks when necessary.
