The onset of gastrointestinal patients has a certain seasonality, and the autumn and winter seasons are the high incidence of such diseases every year, because such diseases are closely related to the cold climate. After autumn, the weather becomes cooler, and the temperature difference between day and night is so great that the human body is stimulated by cold air, which will cause disorders of the plant nervous function, increase the chemical component histamine in the blood, increase the secretion of gastric acid, and spasmodic contraction of the stomach and intestines. In addition, due to the cooler weather, people’s appetite, the amount of food increased, so that the burden on the stomach and intestinal tract increased, coupled with emotional distress, mental tension, irregular diet and other factors, these are likely to lead to the recurrence of gastrointestinal disease. In such an “eventful autumn”, how do we prevent the occurrence of gastrointestinal disease? There is a saying that “three points of treatment and seven points of nourishment”, and Chinese medicine believes that nourishing and protecting the stomach is particularly important in the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases.

Second, to strengthen physical exercise
