How does Chinese medicine teach people to prevent diseases in autumn? We will now talk about the way of health care in autumn from the perspective of Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine health care is to seek to respond to the sky in accordance with the time, as early as in the “Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine” has been proposed: “Autumn in March, this is the Yung Ping, the weather to the urgent, the ground to Ming.” The climate in autumn is in the transitional stage of “Yang and Yin”, the summer heat gradually go, the weather turns cold. In autumn, when the temperature is getting cooler, Chinese medicine believes that physical exercise should be “sleep early, get up early, be happy with the chicken, make the will peaceful,” both to go to bed early and get up early, pay attention to adding clothes to prevent injury to the body due to cold. Keep inner tranquility, emotional optimism, relaxed chest, put aside unnecessary worries, avoid sadness, is the method of autumn spiritual health; golden autumn, the sky is high, is a good period of fitness exercise, in the face of many exercise projects, should be selected according to the person, such as the elderly can walk, jogging, practice five birds play, play taijiquan, do fitness exercises, eight duanjin, self-massage, etc..

Chinese medicine says autumn is gold, in the organs of the lungs, the main dry. The first thing you feel after autumn is the dryness of autumn. Dryness hurts people, easily hurting the body’s fluids, fluids are depleted, there will be dryness, manifested as dry mouth, dry lips, dry nose, dry throat, dry tongue and less fluids, dry stool, dry skin and even cracking. The lung likes to moisten but hates dryness, the function of the lung is bound to be affected, there will be a series of autumn dryness such as dry nose and throat, hoarse voice, dry cough and less phlegm, thirst and constipation. Therefore, the cloud “spring and summer nourish Yang, autumn and winter nourish Yin”. So how to nourish Yin and prevent dryness? The Yuan Dynasty physician Khu Si Hui said in the “Drinking food is about to” that autumn is dry, it is appropriate to eat hemp to moisten its dryness. That is, autumn should eat more sweet cold cool moist products to moisten its dryness, such as lily has nourishing yin moisten the lungs, clear the heart and tranquilize the effect can enter the lung and stomach heart meridian, generate moisture and moisten dryness. Pear has the effect of moistening the lung and generating fluid, which can enter the lung meridian, help the qi and blood to drop quickly and generate fluid to quench thirst. Lettuce can clear heat and produce body fluid, stop cough, high iodine content, which will have a favorable impact on the body’s basic metabolism and physical development. Lettuce leaves are far more nutritious than lettuce stems, and people who love to suffer from cough in autumn can eat more lettuce leaves to calm their cough. Cauliflower is rich in vitamin-like substances, its vitamin c content is outstanding, higher than the common cabbage, soybean sprouts content to 3D4 times, than the citrus content to 2 times. Chinese medicine has always said that the color white into the lungs. Autumn is the season of respiratory infections, white cauliflower is undoubtedly a timely health care vegetables. The chlorophyll in bean sprouts can prevent rectal cancer, and the aspartic acid, which is rich in water, can make the body greatly reduce the accumulation of lactic acid, thus helping to eliminate fatigue. According to Chinese medicine, bean sprouts are sweet and cool in nature, and have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying the body, and dipping dampness. In addition, such as sesame, honey, silver fungus, green vegetables and other moist food, as well as grapes, apples, kiwi, water chestnuts and other water-rich, nourishing and moistening fruits are good for autumn yin. However, we need to pay attention to autumn yin to prevent indiscriminate supplementation. Although autumn has turned cold, it is not as cold as winter, and dryness can easily turn into heat, so you should not abuse tonic medicines, especially warm tonic products such as ginseng and astragalus to prevent too much benefit and “fire”; tonic should not be indiscriminate, and you should be careful not to take tonic without disease and indiscriminate tonic for deficiency. The principle of treatment in Chinese medicine is that those who are deficient should be tonic, and patients who are not deficient should not use tonic medicine. The deficiency disease has yin deficiency, yang deficiency, gas deficiency, blood deficiency, take the right medicine to benefit the body, otherwise it is counterproductive, but also pay attention to the right amount of tonic, avoid using medicine instead of food. Health should be in line with the changes of the seasons. Autumn is dry, prone to lung diseases, so when more sweet cold lung products, and when the mood, relaxation, moderate exercise can improve the body’s immunity, reduce the occurrence of disease.
