Beginning of autumn health tips.
1, diet: nourishing yin and moistening dryness
Autumn is full of dryness, which is easy to hurt body fluids. Therefore, the diet should nourish yin and moisten the lungs, and soft foods such as sesame, glutinous rice, japonica rice, honey, loquat, pineapple and dairy products can be eaten properly to benefit the stomach and promote fluid production.
In addition, eat more beans and other foods, and eat less greasy and sticky foods. Considering that the weather may still be hot, people can eat more vegetables and fruits to reduce summer heat, supplement vitamins and minerals in time, neutralize excess acidic metabolites in the body, and play a role in clearing away heat and toxic materials.
2. Daily life: Go to bed early and get up early.
After beginning of autumn, the yang in nature began to converge and precipitate, so people should be prepared to maintain the yang.
Therefore, we should "go to bed early and get up early" in daily life, because going to bed early can conform to the convergence of yang, and getting up early can stretch lung qi.
Getting up early in autumn can also reduce the chance of thrombosis, which is of certain significance to prevent ischemic diseases such as cerebral thrombosis.
The summer heat in early autumn is not over yet. Although there is a cool breeze, the weather is changeable. Autumn tigers are still very hot during the day, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is large.
In this solar term, we should start to increase the sleep time at night to make up for the lack of sleep in summer. Going to bed early in autumn fully conforms to the principle of "autumn harvest".
3. Exercise: Relax.
Proper exercise can effectively improve "autumn lack". Athletes can choose easy events such as counting, playing Tai Chi and climbing mountains according to their nature and hobbies.
Compared with summer, we can appropriately increase the amount of exercise and prolong the exercise time, but we should pay attention to the intensity, especially for the elderly, children and the physically weak, to prevent excessive sweating and loss of yang.
Experts suggest that mountain climbing in beginning of autumn is a good choice for outdoor sports. Mountaineering can enhance people's respiratory and blood circulation functions, increase people's vital capacity and myocardial contractility, and also play an auxiliary role in treating asthma and other diseases.
4, emotional conditioning: regulating emotions
There is an ancient poem that says, "Spring is chilly, flowers bloom and fall all by people". It can be seen that autumn is a season that is prone to mood swings and evokes sadness. One of the easiest ways to adjust your mood is to laugh.
There is a saying in Chinese medicine called "Laugh often and open your lungs". Modern medical research has also proved that laughter is indeed the best "exercise" for the body, and different degrees of laughter have appropriate coordination effects on respiratory organs, chest and abdomen, viscera and muscles.
For the respiratory system, laughter can dilate the lungs, and people will take a deep breath unconsciously, clean the respiratory tract and make breathing smooth.
In addition, when people laugh, more oxygen can be inhaled in the body. With the blood flowing smoothly all over the body, every cell in the body can get enough oxygen. So, please insist on making yourself happy and smiling more every day. Doing so will please others and make your lungs healthier.
