Frost, the last festival of autumn, also means that winter is about to begin. As a folk proverb says, “It is better to make up for winter than to make up for frostfall” and “It is better to make up for a year than to make up for frostfall”. Why is it so important to take care of your health? What is the most appropriate tonic for the frosty season? “Better to supplement the winter than to supplement the frost” in the hot summer, people’s appetite is generally poor, the diet is relatively light and simple, two or three months down, many people will lose some, plus often eat cold drinks to relieve the summer, people’s spleen and stomach will also become weak. After autumn, the weather is getting cooler, people have appetite, spleen and stomach function is gradually restored, and the autumn and winter frost season, if the right tonic, not only to compensate for the loss of summer, but also help strengthen the body, help people through the cold winter, but also for the new year of healthy life to lay a solid foundation, so since ancient times, people attach great importance to the “frost tonic Therefore, since ancient times, people attach great importance to the “frost tonic”. The frost and fall of the frost should be flat tonic south side of the “warm” north side of the “wet” late autumn and early winter, the human gastrointestinal function has not fully recovered, so can not be a big tonic, but should be “flat tonic” is appropriate. The flat tonic is a kind of slow tonic. The food with calm performance, such as cereals, beans, fruits and vegetables, can be eaten by normal people and people who have been weak and sick for a long time, and generally have no adverse effects. In addition to the difference in ambient temperature between the north and the south, the general constitution of the population is also different. Therefore, the method of supplementation should also be different. Southerners have a cold physique, so they can be warmed on the basis of flat tonic. At this time, the weather in the north has been cool, the northern people’s physique is more on the hot side, so on top of the flat tonic can be appropriate on the wet side, such as nourishing Yin and moistening dryness. However, the tonic must be different from person to person. Any tonic, in addition to the season, the local climate, but also combined with the individual’s physique is different. If the body is hot, the tonic can not be too warm, can be supplemented with duck, rabbit, autumn pears, persimmons, etc.. For those who are cold in nature or have a weak constitution, they can take chicken, mutton, chestnuts, apples, grapes and other warm or flat foods. Special reminder, before taking the tonic we must first understand their own physique, and the physique is subject to change, you can regularly go to the regular hospital Chinese medicine department to take the “peace pulse”, listen to the doctor’s advice. The elderly and sick people should not just take tonic Many elderly people are weak and have a variety of diseases, if you take tonic indiscriminately, not only will not play a role in nourishing the body, may also cause unnecessary trouble. Therefore, it is best to be guided by a doctor before taking a tonic. People who are suffering from cold, fever, acute gastroenteritis, diabetes, hypertension, etc. should not take tonic at random. Those who have phlegm dampness or damp heat in their body should not take tonic right away, otherwise they will easily breed phlegm dampness. You should first resolve dampness, and then according to the cold and heat deficiency tonic.
