What should be taken care of in autumn

According to the theory of Chinese medicine, nature, from the five elements, autumn is the main dry, from the yin and yang, autumn is from warm to cool, Yang Qi has a gradual change, an autumn rain a cold, with the autumn wind and autumn rain valiantly arrived, the weather in late autumn gradually turn cold, so this season health care is mainly for cool dry. The following we talk about autumn health care from several aspects of daily life should pay attention to the problem. 1, autumn clothing to cold temperature appropriate after the autumn, the temperature difference between day and night, the traditional “spring cover autumn freezing”, “autumn freezing” is to say that the temperature in autumn gradually cool, do not add too much clothing too early. In early autumn, the heat has not yet receded, too much too early to increase clothing, once the temperature rises, sweating and wind, it is easy to catch a cold. And as the temperature drops, the appropriate cold air stimulation, can promote the body’s material metabolism, improve the body’s adaptability to low temperatures. However, the “autumn freezing” method is suitable for young and strong people with good health, while those who are weak, or the elderly and children, or should increase or decrease clothing in accordance with climate change. In particular, we should pay attention to the fall should not be bare shoulders, to prevent the cold gas from the skin invasion of the body, injury to Yang Qi. 2, autumn exercise to protect Yang Qi The autumn season, autumn high, fresh air, is a good time to exercise, appropriate early, go for a walk in the fresh air, exhale the old and new, so that the lungs are not attacked by dryness. According to the lunar calendar, “autumn” is the beginning of autumn, and “frost” is the end of autumn, and “autumn equinox” is exactly half of the 90 days from autumn to frost. After the autumn equinox, solar radiation in most parts of China is getting less and less, while the ground loses more heat, and the speed of temperature decrease is significantly accelerated. Agricultural proverb says: “White dew autumn equinox night, a cold night”. This season, the temperature difference in a day, the night to increase clothing at the right time, to prevent the autumn cold night of injury and Yang Qi. From the Chinese medical opinion, autumn is the body’s essence are in the stage of convergence, so exercise should also be in line with this principle, that is, the amount of exercise should not be too much, do not sweat profusely, to prevent excessive sweating caused by Yang depletion. It is advisable to choose a relaxed and gentle exercise program, gradually, when the body sweats slightly can be, in order to make the essence of internal convergence, not to make Yang out of consumption. 3, autumn food to warm appropriate autumn is the harvest season, there are many kinds of vegetables and fruits on the market, should eat more fresh vegetables, fruits, such as lilies, yams, water chestnuts, chestnuts, peanuts, sesame, honey, dates, apples, pears, citrus, etc., in addition, lotus root, winter melon, radish, zucchini, eggplant and a variety of mushrooms, is also very suitable for eating. It can both moisten the lungs and harmonize the spleen and stomach. At the same time, in autumn, because of the weakness of Yang and Yin, the resistance of the stomach and intestines decreases, and germs tend to take advantage of the weakness to enter, damaging the spleen and stomach, leading to gastrointestinal diseases, so the diet also has the idea of “autumn should be warm”, which means that in autumn should avoid eating too cold food, too cold diet will cause indigestion, prone to various gastrointestinal disorders. Those who have a weak spleen and stomach, pay attention to abdominal warmth, can also be heated to eat vegetables and fruits. 4, the prevention of depression to be emotionally optimistic Chinese medicine believes that the seven emotions are not smooth, a hundred diseases, autumn is also the season of depression and anxiety, the so-called “eventful autumn” refers to this situation, then mediation of emotions, is also an important aspect of autumn health care, open-mindedness, handle things with openness, cheerful and optimistic attitude, for the prevention of depression. The occurrence and recurrence of anxiety disorders is of great significance. 5, on the issue of autumn tonic “tonic” is generally for “deficiency”, each tonic has certain objects and indications, not everyone is suitable for tonic, not to mention that the more expensive tonic is better, each person’s physical condition is different, so with it Each person’s physical condition is different, so the tonic that suits it is also different. Some expensive supplements are not suitable for everyone. It should be practical and effective, that is, as the people say, “what is lacking to make up for it”. In the autumn, the tonic should be for cool and dry, warm and moist, should not be too hot, and should not be a big tonic, there are more kinds of Chinese medicine tonic, the performance is different, before the tonic, should first identify the differences of qi, blood, yin and yang and physical deficiency, targeted tonic, in order to receive good results. If you do not distinguish between red and white, what people make up for their own follow the tonic, the result affects the balance of the body’s yin and yang, qi and blood, the function of the internal organs, not only can not strengthen the body, but also may aggravate the disease, even if the body is very weak people need to take tonic, but also in a gradual manner, it is best to first conditioning, after tonic.
