1 and lotus root
"Lotus is a treasure, and autumn lotus is the most nourishing." After cold dew, the air is dry and people are easily agitated. At this time, we should eat more food to clear the heart and moisten the dryness in autumn. Lotus root is rich in trace elements such as iron and calcium, plant protein, vitamins and starch, which has obvious effects of stimulating appetite, clearing away heat, moistening dryness and quenching thirst, clearing heart fire and calming nerves, nourishing blood and benefiting qi, and can also enhance human immunity.
2. Hawthorn
"Hawthorn is harvested by cold dew, and sweet potato is planed by first frost". Hawthorn with cold dew is red, and the calcium content of hawthorn is the highest among autumn fruits, with 52 mg of calcium per 100 grams of pulp. Pregnant women and children have a great demand for calcium, so these two groups of people might as well eat some hawthorn after meals.
3. Peaches
Hanlu Peach is a late-maturing peach variety in the north, and its maturity is around Hanlu, so it is named "Hanlu Peach". Peaches are sweet and warm, and they are easy to get angry when eaten too much. In severe cases, they will get sores, especially those who are prone to sores due to excessive internal heat. Adults had better not feed peaches to infants, because peaches contain a lot of macromolecular substances, and infants have poor gastrointestinal dialysis ability and cannot digest these substances, which is easy to cause allergic reactions. In addition, it is best not to eat peaches that are not fully mature, so as not to cause bloating or diarrhea.
4, grapefruit

In autumn, citrus has the highest vitamin B 1 content. In addition, the fruit, peel, stone and root of citrus have different pharmacological effects.

A big custom of cold dew is to eat crabs. Crab meat is tender and delicious, and it is a fine and precious aquatic product. The crab is also very rich in nutrition. The content of protein is several times higher than that of pork and fish, and the contents of calcium, phosphorus, iron and vitamin A are also high. Chinese medicine believes that river crabs are cold in nature and salty in taste, and have the functions of clearing away heat, dispersing stagnation, dredging meridians, nourishing yin, nourishing liver and kidney, nourishing marrow, harmonizing stomach, promoting digestion, dissipating heat, dredging collaterals and strengthening bones and muscles. Steamed crabs are the most original and have high nutritional value.

Drawn yam is a good way to eat. The yam processed with caramel will enhance the effect of tonifying kidney and resisting poison.
Cold dew health tips
1, mental aftercare
There is a saying that "autumn wind and autumn rain worry people", because the autumn climate is getting drier and the temperature is falling, and people's mood will also be affected. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to mental health preservation during the cold dew season, especially to maintain optimism, maintain mental peace, converge and avoid the cold air.
2, daily aftercare
When it is cool in autumn, people's living time should also be adjusted accordingly. "Su Wen Four Qi Tunes the Spirit" records: "In autumn and March, you lie down early and get up early, and you are happy with chickens". Lying early conforms to the principle of adopting yin essence in autumn, and getting up early can stretch the yang spirit to achieve the balance of yin and yang.
After the cold dew, the days are short and the nights are long, and the temperature difference between day and night increases. Pay attention to adding clothes, especially to keep feet and stomach warm.
3. Exercise and recuperation
In the cold dew season, if you insist on proper physical exercise, you can not only recuperate lung qi, but also improve the function of lung organs, which is conducive to enhancing the immune function of various tissues and organs and the body's resistance to external cold stimuli. You can choose common sports such as climbing, jogging, walking, playing ball games, swimming, etc., and if possible, you can also choose traditional projects such as Wuqinxi, Tai Ji Chuan and Baduanjin, which are relaxed and gentle and have little activity.
Eight taboos of cold dew health care should be kept in mind
1, avoid making up without illness
Make up without illness, which not only increases expenses, but also harms itself. If you take too much cod liver oil, it can cause poisoning. If you take glucose for a long time, it will cause obesity, increase blood cholesterol and easily induce cardiovascular diseases.
2, avoid false and true.
The treatment principle of traditional Chinese medicine is to supplement the deficiency. It is not that patients with deficiency should not use tonic. Deficiency can be divided into yin deficiency, yang deficiency, qi deficiency and blood deficiency. Only taking medicine according to the symptoms can replenish the body, otherwise it will be counterproductive and will hurt the body.
Although health care is not as strict as treating diseases, at least the dining objects should be divided into two categories: cold and hot. Those who are slightly cold are afraid of cold and like heat, and their hands and feet are not warm, and their mouths are pale and salivating, and they have loose stools, long urine, pale tongue and deep pulse. For those with fever, the hands and feet are hot, dry mouth, bitter taste, bad breath, dry stool, short and red urine, red tongue and rapid pulse. If you don't distinguish between cold and heat, it will easily lead to "adding fuel to the fire."
3, avoid more, the better
Taking too much of any tonic is harmful. It is unscientific to think that "take more tonics, treat diseases and strengthen the body without diseases". If you take ginseng antler supplements too much, it can cause abdominal distension and not think about diet; Taking vitamin C too much can cause nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
4, avoid all the meat.
Animal food is undoubtedly a good tonic. It not only has high nutrition, but also tastes delicious. However, meat is not easy to digest and absorb. If you eat more for a long time, it is often overwhelmed by the elderly whose gastrointestinal function has declined. Some "by-products" in the process of meat digestion, such as excessive lipids and sugars, are often the causes of common and frequently-occurring diseases in the elderly, such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and cancer.
A light diet is not without supplements, especially vegetables. Modern nutrition holds that fresh fruits and vegetables contain a variety of vitamins and trace elements, which are essential nutrients for human body.
5, avoid taking medicine.
It is unscientific to pay more attention to medicine than food. I don't know that many foods are also therapeutic drugs. If you eat more shepherd's purse, you can treat hypertension; Eating more radish can strengthen the stomach and digestion, smooth the chest, resolve phlegm and relieve cough; Eating more yam can tonify the spleen and stomach. Daily consumption of walnuts, peanuts, red dates, lentils, lotus roots, etc. are also good supplements.
6, avoid "into" light "out"
With the improvement of people's living standards, many families have meat and fish every day, and their meals are greasy. The acidic and toxic substances produced by the metabolism of these foods need to be discharged in time, and the accelerated pace of life makes many people have irregular defecation and even constipation.
Therefore, in recent years, health experts put forward a new concept of health care that pays attention to "negative nutrition", that is, paying attention to the discharge of human waste, reducing the retention and absorption of "enterotoxin", and advocating that timely and smooth defecation should be paid attention to while tonic.
7. Avoid constant "compensation"
Some people like to take a certain tonic according to their own taste, and then they have changed from being unchanged for many years to being "partial eclipse" and "gluttony", which is not good for health. Because drugs and food not only have health care and therapeutic effects, but also have certain side effects, taking them for a long time will affect the nutritional balance in the body. Especially for the elderly, not only the functions of various organs have declined to varying degrees, but also they need comprehensive and systematic conditioning, and different seasons also have different demands for health care drugs and food. Therefore, it is very necessary to adjust according to different situations, and it is impossible to make up for the same.
8, avoid the more expensive, the more you make up.
"Rare things are precious", those noble traditional foods such as bird's nest and shark's fin have no peculiar dietotherapy function, while the very common foods such as sweet potato and onion have dietotherapy value worthy of attention. In addition, all dietotherapy has certain objects and indications, so the medicated diet should be determined according to the needs, "what is lacking, what is supplemented", and it should not be divided according to the high and low, especially for the elderly, but should be based on the principle of practicality and low price.
