In addition to moisturizing in autumn, we must adapt to the weather and do a good job in autumn health. How to raise it?
Huangdi Neijing clearly pointed out that it is necessary to "nourish yin" when talking about autumn health preservation.
What is Yin? Refers to body fluid, blood and yin essence. , is the most basic substance to nourish the human body.
In autumn, people's qi and blood begin to gather from the outside, and the external qi and blood are relatively insufficient. In addition, the humidity in the air in autumn is greatly reduced, which is prone to autumn dryness, mainly manifested as dry mouth, dry lips, dry nose, dry throat, dry stool, dry skin and even wrinkles.
Autumn dryness will damage the body's vaginal fluid, resulting in insufficient body fluid, so we should pay attention to nourishing yin in autumn to keep the skin tender.
The lung governs fur, spreads and protects qi on the skin surface, and at the same time continuously transports qi, blood and body fluids in our body to the skin surface, thus nourishing and moistening the whole skin. When lung qi is insufficient, the skin will be dry and rough, lose its moist luster, be covered with fine lines, and its ability to resist external evils will also be reduced, making it easy to suffer from skin diseases.
So skin with good lungs will be smooth and elastic.
It is suggested that you can eat more foods that moisten lung and nourish yin in autumn:
For example, bird's nest, tremella with the reputation of "bird's nest for the poor", and of course, lily, loquat, Sydney, honey, Polygonatum odoratum and Ophiopogon japonicus are all good foods for nourishing yin and moistening lung.
Recommended diet:
Stewed bird's nest with milk, stewed old duck with Radix Adenophorae and Rhizoma Polygonati, white fungus and Sydney soup, lotus seed and lily tremella soup, etc.
If the skin is still dry after eating foods that moisten the lungs and nourish yin, then it is necessary to replenish the lungs.
If the lung qi is insufficient and the skin is not nourished, no matter how advanced cosmetics are, it is futile.
Any part of our body needs the nourishment of blood, and the blood is yin, and the yin needs the drive of yang to reach the needed part of the body.
In other words, for people with insufficient qi, the blood and body fluids can't reach the skin and must be driven by qi, so we should pay attention to replenishing lung qi while nourishing yin and moistening lung.
When the lung is full of qi, the lung has sufficient propaganda ability, so that qi, blood, body fluid can be spread on the fur, making the skin moist, smooth and elastic.
The best food for invigorating lung qi: Radix Astragali, Radix Codonopsis, Ginseng, etc.
Dietotherapy recommendation:
Stewed hen with astragalus root, ginseng jujube soup, stewed chicken soup with dangshen longan, etc.
At the same time, we should also eat less spicy food, such as pepper, ginger and onion. Because spicy food is too easy to damage the body's yin and body fluids.
Dietary Guidelines for China Residents recommend adults to drink 1 0,500ml ~1700ml daily. Insufficient drinking water will also dehydrate and dry our skin.
We usually sit mainly and seldom exercise, which is not good for our health. It is recommended that normal adults exercise moderately for more than 30 minutes every day.
Proper physical exercise can improve respiratory function and blood circulation, and enhance cardiopulmonary function.
Because the lung governs sorrow and worry, if the mood is too pessimistic, it will lead to stagnation of lung qi, further damaging the vital qi of the lung, thus causing lung qi deficiency.
Nourish the lungs in autumn and let the beauty bloom from the inside out! five
