1, nourish yin and pay attention to drink plenty of water.
In dry autumn and winter, the water evaporated through the skin every day is more than 600 ml, so it is essential to replenish water. An adult should drink at least 1500 ml of water every day, while drinking 2000 ml in autumn can ensure the lubrication of lungs and respiratory tract.
Although drinking plenty of water every day is recommended for health, weight loss, beauty, etc., drinking a lot of water at one time without thirst will be counterproductive. The water exceeds the necessary amount of the body, and the water content in cells will rise and swell. The worst result will cause "water poisoning" and endanger life. The correct amount of drinking water should be adjusted according to the daily activity of the individual. Under normal circumstances, drink at least 1.5~2L of water every day. The amount of drinking water should be controlled at 1~2 cups each time.
2. Keep warm when dressing.
Some people are careless and didn't add clothes in time when it was cold; Some people wear less clothes and don't button their coats for beauty. Early in the morning and one night when the cold wind is strong, the abdomen is easy to catch cold. Especially for women with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold, once it is cold, they will have stomachache and diarrhea, which is a natural reaction of gastrointestinal tract. The best and most convenient way is to wear more clothes, especially to wrap the waist and abdomen tightly.
The first criterion for choosing winter clothes is to keep warm. Among many kinds of clothing materials, wool, chlorine fiber, acrylic fiber, silk and acetate viscose cotton have the highest warmth retention, while nylon, polypropylene fiber and polyester are not suitable for keeping out the cold because of their high thermal conductivity. The more air contained in the fabric, the better the warmth retention. Thick wool fabrics and silks contain a large amount of air, so their warmth retention is good. In particular, the pores of wool fabrics are not straight-through, so the warmth retention is better.
3. Drink honey at night after drinking salt water
After autumn, I often feel thirsty. Drinking boiled water alone can't resist autumn dryness. Human body moisture will be evaporated or excreted soon, so it should be "salt water in the morning, honey soup in the evening". Drinking salt water during the day and honey water at night is not only a good way to replenish human body's water, but also a good diet for keeping in good health and resisting aging in autumn. At the same time, it can prevent constipation caused by autumn dryness and kill three birds with one stone.
Salt has the functions of clearing away heat, cooling blood and detoxifying. Drinking a cup of light salt water on an empty stomach after getting up in the morning is beneficial to reducing fire and benefiting the kidney, keeping the stool unobstructed and improving the digestion and absorption of the stomach. Honey has the functions of nourishing the middle energizer, moistening dryness, relieving pain and detoxifying. Take 0/0 ~ 20 ml of honey/kloc-before going to bed every day and mix it with warm boiled water, which can not only strengthen the spleen and stomach, replenish qi and blood, but also calm down, soothe the nerves and relieve annoyance. In addition, salt water and honey water also have the effect of preventing blood pressure from rising. Salt contains a lot of sodium, which may cause blood pressure to rise, while honey has a high content of potassium, which helps to excrete excess sodium in the body.
4, diet attention to prevent autumn dryness
Eat more moist and warm foods, such as sesame seeds, walnuts and glutinous rice. You can also eat more pungent, sour, moist or lung-lowering fruits and vegetables, especially white radish and carrot. Although eating more "bitter" fruits and vegetables is the main way to maintain health in the autumn equinox, you should not eat too much and support too much, so as not to cause gastrointestinal stagnation. It is worth reminding that after the autumnal equinox, the cold atmosphere is getting stronger and stronger. If people with poor spleen and stomach and frequent diarrhea eat too much fruit, it is easy to induce or aggravate diseases.
For athletes, after each exercise, they should eat more foods that nourish yin, moisten the lungs and replenish fluids, such as pears, sesame seeds, honey and tremella, which can effectively prevent autumn dryness. If you sweat more, you can also add some salt water in moderation. The medicinal diet of autumn equinox can make good use of lilies, such as lily lotus seed soup, lily lotus seed lean broth, tremella lily soup and so on.
5. Don't take a bath for too long.
Don't take a bath for too long in autumn and winter, which will make the oil on the surface of the skin lose protection, make the skin more dry and itchy, and even cause wrinkles and dehydration. It is suggested that the bath time is 20 minutes, and the shower time is 3 to 5 minutes. Many people like hot baths very much, especially some girls with chicken skin, who have the psychology of "hot water can wash away chicken skin". But in fact, too high water temperature will also destroy the oil on the skin surface, expand the capillaries and aggravate the dryness of the skin. It is suggested that the bath water temperature should be 24℃ to 29℃.
Don't be too diligent in taking a bath in autumn and winter. Many people think that the body will be cleaner and cleaner after washing more. In fact, doing so will only make the skin drier and drier, but it will aggravate the problem of itchy skin. Causes the epidermis to weaken and be invaded by bacteria and fungi, resulting in other skin infections.
6. Sleep for an extra hour
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that autumn and winter are yin orders, which are collected in autumn and hidden in winter. Therefore, in autumn and March, lie down early and get up early, and be happy with chickens, and the way to raise and collect is also; In winter and March, if you lie down early and get up late, you must wait for the sun, and the way to raise Tibet is also. Therefore, keeping healthy in autumn and winter, paying attention to the collection of yin and improving the quality of sleep will get twice the result with half the effort. "Lying early in autumn and getting up early in winter" is the main way to keep fit at this time. As for the specific sleep time, it is suggested to rest at midnight (i.e. 9: 00-1 1 p.m.) every night and try to fall asleep at midnight (1 1 p.m.). Because childhood is the time when the yang is the weakest and the yin is the most abundant, sleeping at this time can best nourish yin and the quality of sleep is also the best, which can often achieve a twice the result with half the effort.
Normal people's sleep time is generally about 8 hours a day, and those who are weak and sick should increase their sleep time appropriately. Head north foot south positioning is accurate. The human body is influenced by the earth's magnetic field anytime and anywhere, and the brain is also disturbed by the magnetic field during sleep. When people sleep, they take the posture of head north and feet south, so that the magnetic field lines pass through the human body smoothly, which can minimize the interference of the earth's magnetic field and make sleep more sweet. The sleeping posture is relaxed, and the effect of sleeping like a bow is good, and the burden of lying on the right side is light.
7. Exercise more to prevent autumn deficiency
To avoid feeling tired at noon and keep full of energy all day, most fitness coaches suggest doing more moderate-intensity exercise, that is, exercise to make the heart beat 70% to 80% of the target heart rate. Experts say: "Listen to the sounds made by your body. If you are in a stressful working environment, strenuous exercise may not make you feel more comfortable. It may be better to do repair yoga so that your brain can relax. "
According to fitness experts, the ideal arrangement is to do high-intensity exercise two or three times a week, and join in lower-intensity projects such as yoga, walking or weight-bearing training. Even when you are not tired, you will feel comfortable if you stretch a few times consciously. Stretching can make the chest organs of the human body squeeze the heart and lungs, which is beneficial to the full movement of the heart and enables more oxygen to be supplied to various tissues and organs.
