LiQiu is a turning point in which the yang gradually gathers and the yin gradually grows, gradually changing from yangsheng to yinsheng. However, the arrival of Autumn does not mean that the hot weather is over, at this time it is still in the hot period, it has not yet been out of the summer, and the weather is still very hot.
What should I pay attention to in health care? Three taboos for autumn health
01 Eat fruit without eating melon
As the saying goes, "autumn melon rotten belly", after autumn, it is not recommended to eat watermelon and other cool melons, which is easy to damage the spleen and stomach.
Autumn is the season when grapes, grapefruit, etc. are on the market, so you can eat more of these fruits.
02 Eat honey without eating ginger
As the saying goes, "within a year, do not eat ginger in autumn", after autumn, the weather gradually dried up, and eating ginger is easy to catch fire. Honey has the effect of moisturizing the lungs and nourishing the lungs, which is suitable for this season.
03 Don't be greedy
After the autumn, it should be noted that the diet should not be too raw and cold, cold food can easily lead to gastrointestinal indigestion, and various digestive tract diseases occur. Especially in the elderly, most of them have a weak spleen and stomach, and eating raw and cold food is tantamount to worsening.
Eating like this during the changing seasons, although the weather will not immediately feel cool after entering the autumn, the body has begun to change, and it is going to start to dry, and we can adjust the diet in this way.
01 Eat three whites in the autumn season
Lotus root: nourishing yin and moisturizing, known as the first major supplement after autumn. Raw food is a good product for moisturizing and drying, which can clear the heat and moisturize the intestines; Cooked food is beneficial to the spleen and stomach, replenishing qi and blood.

Water chestnut: has a good effect of clearing the throat and detoxifying, dissolving phlegm and eliminating accumulation, its flesh color is white into the lungs, it is a good lung food, and it is very suitable for eating in autumn.
02 garlic + purslane, moisture and dryness
Wetness and dryness are the most common symptoms in the autumn season, when the yang between heaven and earth begins to drop, the temperature difference between day and night is large, and the climate becomes dry. At the same time, at this time, it has not yet fallen out, just after the hottest summer, the human body is still in a state of summer humidity.
The combination of external feeling of autumn dryness and internal injury and summer and wetness is a disease, and it is easy to show the symptoms of "wet" and "dry" at the same time. If you have symptoms associated with it, experts recommend that you can use purslane and garlic boiling water to regulate.

Li Qiu living and health
