Hello everyone, Ah Jian is meeting with his friends again!
Health knowledge is remembered, and a happy life is "raised"! Welcome to the Yangtze Evening News Yangtze Famous Medical Group and Infinitus (China) Co., Ltd. hosted by the AJian Festival Health Care Class. We meet you on time before each solar term, share with you the tips of seasonal health, help you maintain your health and embrace a healthy life.
Unconsciously, A Jian Festival Health Class has accompanied everyone through a round of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and on October 8, we also ushered in the end of the cold dew festival. Han lu is the 17th of the traditional twenty-four solar terms, and it is also the first one with the word "cold". In the "Seventy-two Waiting Solutions to the Moon Order", it is said, "During the September Festival, the dew is cold and will condense." Compared with the white dew festival, the temperature during the cold dew season drops more obviously, the dew is more, and the sun is cold, so it is called "cold dew".

During the cold dew season, in addition to the lower temperature, the dew will also increase. At this time, there will be frost in some parts of China, the north has shown a late autumn scene, white clouds and red leaves, occasionally see early frost, the south is also autumn is getting thicker, the atmosphere is cool. "Frost leaves are red in February flowers", which is exactly the season where the cold dew is located. At this time, many places have the custom of appreciating maple leaves. For example, Xiangshan in the Beijing area is the most famous spot in China to enjoy autumn leaves. Every year, just after the cold dew season, from mid-October to early November, to Xiangshan to enjoy the autumn leaves, has long become the traditional habit of Beijing citizens and the highlight of autumn travel.
Cold dew arrives, and the weather turns from cool to cold, especially in the northern regions. Chinese medicine has a saying, "Spring and summer nourish yang, autumn and winter nourish yin". At this time, people should nourish the yin and prevent dryness, moisturize the lungs and benefit the stomach. Therefore, when it comes to the "food customs" of cold dew, we have to mention eating sesame seeds. Sesame seeds, which enjoy high praise in medical monographs such as the Shennong Materia Medica and the Compendium of Materia Medica, can be widely used in dietary therapy. There is also a proverb that says: "Sesame mung bean cake, eat not long packets." "This shows that sesame seeds and mung beans have a detoxifying function. Sesame oil extracted from sesame seeds is not only a good seasoning for hot and cold dishes, but also widely used for therapeutic detoxification.
Cold dew and Chongyang Festival are often similar, and people also eat flower cakes during this season, which means "step by step". Flower cakes mainly include "rough flower cake", "fine flower cake" and "money flower cake". It is also a good choice to accompany pastries and drink a cup of hanlu tea. In the autumn weather, hold a cup of hot tea to warm up and warm your heart. The so-called hanlu tea refers to the tea picked three days before and four days after the hanlu festival, also known as "zhengqiu tea". During the cold dew season, adhere to the reasonable drinking of tea, which can not only warm and nourish the body and mind, but also have no dry fire to disturb people, not only can withstand the cold and warm up, but also nourish the stomach to help digestion, prevent colds and other diseases.
Coming to autumn to talk about health, I have to say that "fighting autumn dryness" has always been the main theme. "Autumn dryness" is very easy to hurt people, in the diet to eat more sweet, light, moist food, not only to quench thirst, moisturize the lungs and clear the heart, but also to detoxify the intestines, adjust blood pressure, calm and calm. In the diet, you should remember to eat less spicy and irritating, dry, smoked and other foods, and should eat more walnuts, white fungus, radish, tomatoes, lotus roots, lilies, sand ginseng and other foods that have the effect of nourishing yin and moisturizing, and benefiting the stomach. Among the fruits, you can choose such as pears, grapes, water chestnuts, bananas, etc.; among the vegetables, carrots, winter melons, lotus roots, white fungus, etc., as well as beans, fungi, kelp, seaweed, etc. are quite good choices.
Some health experts suggest that the best diet to deal with autumn dryness is: "morning brine, late and late honey soup". As the name suggests, drinking some salt water during the day and honey water at night is not only a good way to help the human body replenish water, but also a good diet for autumn health and anti-aging, and it is also a tip that can refuse constipation caused by autumn dryness. Taking honey often in autumn can also play a role in moisturizing the lungs and nourishing the lungs. Therefore, when autumn comes, it is best to "drink light salt water in the morning and honey water in the evening". If you feel that drinking honey water is not enough to taste, A Jian also recommends that you can choose a cream such as Autumn Pear Herbal Cream here. Rich in pears, radish, loquat leaves, licorice, lotus root, honey and other warm and moist ingredients, the taste is sweet. Can be opened to eat or can be used to drink with warm water, small bags are more convenient to carry.
