Autumn drying method
Why is autumn lung injury born in winter?
Huangdi Neijing points out that autumn and March are calm, the weather is urgent and the air is refreshing. Go to bed early and get up early, and have fun with chickens; Tranquilizing the nerves and delaying autumn punishment; Convergence calms autumn; Without ambition, the lungs are clear; This autumn air should be like this. On the contrary, it will hurt the lungs, have diarrhea in winter, and few people serve Tibet.
The three months of autumn are the season when everything matures and harvests. At this time, the weather is already cold, and the human body should make its will comfortable and quiet to reduce the impact of the cold climate in autumn on human health. Autumn qi is closely related to the lungs. In order to adapt the body to the autumn climate and protect the lungs from autumn dryness, it is necessary to raise the lungs and adapt to the dry climate in autumn.
Autumn is a critical moment. If you don't keep in good health in autumn, your lungs will be damaged, and indigestion and diarrhea will come to you in winter; It will also weaken human immunity and make people sick because they don't adapt to the cold in winter.
Drying is the main air in autumn. Autumn air lacks moisture, and the climate is often dry, which makes people prone to autumn dryness.
Dryness is easy to hurt the lungs, and the lungs lose fluid and moisten, and the function of promoting hair growth and relieving depression will be affected, resulting in symptoms of lung dryness such as dry cough, short breath, dry nose, dry mouth and thirst. If the lungs are covered with fur, if the lungs lose moisture, it can affect the fur of external organs, and there will be dry symptoms, such as dry skin, dull hair and dry stool.
Therefore, it is necessary to maintain a certain humidity in autumn. In terms of diet, foods that prevent dryness, nourish yin, nourish kidney and moisten lung should be the main ones. Don't eat lungs in autumn, and the lung qi is high in autumn, so it is not suitable for tonic.

Chen Hong explained that "dampness" belongs to the six evils of TCM (wind, cold, heat, dampness, dryness and fire). At this time, "evil" qi can enter from the nose, mouth and skin. If water can't be excreted smoothly through urine, it will be disturbed by "wetness". "Generally speaking, fat people and people who usually like greasy food tend to get too much water. If the place of residence is damp and not ventilated, it is also easy to get wet; Near the water, the moisture is heavy. "

Chen Hong said that Huoxiang Zhengqi Soft Capsule is a commonly used medicine for eliminating dampness, but it contains 40%-50% alcohol, so drivers and people who are allergic to alcohol should not take it; Watermelon and cucumber have good dehumidification effect and can be eaten properly, but not too much; Wax gourd, mung bean and white lentil are useful for dehumidification. Wax gourd and mung bean can be boiled and drunk, and white lentils can be boiled and eaten.
"The daily diet should be light, drink less and eat less sugar." Chen Hong said that drinking alcohol will increase water in the body, and eating too much sugar will also increase calories in the body, and it is also easy to get wet fever. "
Environment is the key factor leading to heavy moisture. Some people leave the air conditioner on all day and don't ventilate outdoors, so as soon as they go outdoors, they are likely to be exposed to * * * cold and hot, resulting in humidity.

"Autumn tonic can restore physical strength and improve the body's disease resistance, but it is not a good thing to make up more, even. As soon as it turns cold, many people start to eat Chinese medicines such as beef and mutton, stewed ribs with astragalus root, and tonics such as Shiquan Dabu Tang, which will make people with hot constitution suffer from dry mouth and constipation. " Chen Hong said that meat food is mostly hot and dry, and if it is not eaten in moderation, it will have the opposite effect. Especially for patients with chronic diseases, it is necessary to avoid getting worse and worse. Once this happens, you should immediately stop taking tonic, eat more fruits and vegetables, or drink some light porridge to relieve the symptoms of dryness and heat.

Healthy diet in autumn

Proper vegetarian diet with a balanced diet
Chen Hong believes that the diet in autumn and winter should be based on the principles of preventing dryness, protecting yin, nourishing yin and moistening lung. People can eat more soft foods, such as sesame, glutinous rice, dairy products, honey, pears, lotus seeds, tremella, grapes, radishes and so on. At the same time, they should pay attention to the collocation of meat and vegetables and balance their diet. Because after the hot summer, many people's spleen and stomach functions are weakened, especially those who are weak, we should pay attention to giving the spleen and stomach a stage of adjustment and adaptation.
Pay attention to eat less spicy and dry food, such as pepper, raw onion, ginger, star anise, fennel, hot pot mala Tang and so on. Eat less greasy food. These foods not only aggravate autumn dryness, but also increase the burden on the stomach and intestines, raising body temperature and blood sugar, causing fatigue and listlessness. Chronic diseases, physical weakness, gastrointestinal diseases and other people. Spicy and greasy food should be avoided in particular.
After the end of 10, people's essence began to be sealed, and eating nourishing food was easier to be absorbed and stored. For patients with chronic diseases or elderly people with physical weakness, you can eat some chicken, duck, fish, eggs, lean pork, jujube, walnuts and so on. , help to prolong life. But at this time, the climate is changeable and the temperature difference between day and night is large, which is easy to cause abdominal cold and gastrointestinal diseases often recur. Intestinal diet should be warm, soft, light, vegetarian and fresh.
In late autumn, many people are prone to acute colds. These diseases can cause dry cough, which is often manifested as persistent dry cough, unpleasant expectoration, dry mouth and sore throat, itchy throat and hoarseness. For the frail elderly, dry cough is a serious disease. Runhou tablets can relieve it, and it is best for the elderly to take foods that moisten the lungs and nourish yin, such as Sydney, longan meat, honey, sesame seeds and tremella. Treat dry cough with food.
Chen Hong recommends drinking Sydney porridge and tremella tea rock sugar water. Tremella fuciformis is a nourishing product with the same origin of medicine and food, which has the effects of nourishing yin, moistening lung, nourishing stomach and promoting fluid production; Rock sugar tremella helps to moisten the lungs, relieve cough and eliminate phlegm. Tremella tea is used to eliminate phlegm, fire and dampness, and has anti-inflammatory effect.
