2. Avoid spicy and cold food. Autumn weather is too dry and easy to get angry. Try to eat less pungent and spicy foods, such as peppers. You can eat some vegetables with high water content such as celery, or eat more fruits with high water content. Drink more water. The temperature difference between morning and evening is large, so eat less food that is too cold.
3. Avoid eating dry food. Autumn dryness is in season, the lungs are delicate and dirty, and it is easy to feel the evil of autumn dryness. Many chronic respiratory diseases often recur or get worse in autumn. Therefore, the autumn diet should avoid dry foods, such as some fried foods. In addition, in order to welcome the arrival of autumn, the body will also store fat to keep out the cold. Therefore, the intake of calories is greater than the emission. If you are not careful, your weight will increase. Therefore, obese people should pay more attention to losing weight in autumn and eat more low-calorie diet foods, such as red beans, radishes, bamboo shoots, coix seed, kelp and mushrooms. In addition, ordinary people should increase acid in their diet in autumn to enhance liver function, and eat more sour and juicy fruits such as apples, grapes, hawthorn and grapefruit, which are effective for diseases such as hypertension, coronary heart disease and diabetes.
4. Avoid eating greasy and fried food. The greasy fried food is not easy to digest, accumulates in the stomach, aggravates the stagnant hot air in the body, and is not conducive to moistening dryness. Many chronic respiratory diseases often recur or aggravate in autumn, which is for this reason.
5. Avoid eating aquatic plants. Most aquatic plants mature in autumn, but it is also the season with the most metacercariae. At this time, raw aquatic plants are susceptible to infection, leading to intestinal mucosal inflammation, bleeding, edema, ulcer, diarrhea, loss of appetite, facial edema, developmental retardation, mental retardation and other phenomena in children, and even death due to failure or collapse in severe cases.
6. Do not eat according to the food safety period. Although some foods have good health-preserving effects, they are not suitable for eating in some time periods. If the food itself is in a dangerous period, or our bodies are in a stage of conflict with certain food characteristics, we should pay special attention to it. For example, honey has the function of nourishing yin and moistening lung, but be careful not to eat honey in July of the lunar calendar. This is because most poisonous plants bloom in July of the lunar calendar, and the honey brewed by bees after collecting the flowers of poisonous plants will also contain poison. August and September of the lunar calendar is the replenishment period of nourishing yin in autumn and winter, so you should eat more foods that nourish yin and moisten the lungs. Ginger is a spicy food, which is easy to make people dry in autumn after eating, leading to gas consumption and injury, so it is best not to eat it. Melons belong to yin and cold food, and eating them will hurt the spleen and stomach, so eat less in autumn.
