Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, August 6 (Reporter Tian Xiaohang) August 7 will usher in the beginning of the autumn solar term, after which the temperature difference between day and night will gradually increase, and the climate tends to be drier. Traditional Chinese medicine experts suggest that colds and other diseases are prone to occur during this period, and health preservation and disease prevention should pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and appropriate adjustment.
Zheng Haoyun, deputy chief physician of the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology of Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine affiliated to Capital Medical University, said that in the beginning of autumn, if people fail to adapt to the weather changes in time, they are easy to feel the evil of wind and cold, resulting in colds and coughs; At the same time, as the rainfall gradually decreases, dryness can easily hurt the lungs, which in turn leads to symptoms such as dry cough, less phlegm, and dry throat. How should people recuperate from the aspects of diet, daily life, emotion, exercise, etc.?
At the beginning of autumn, as the days get shorter and the nights get longer, the body's yang energy begins to gradually converge. Zheng Haoyun reminded that at this time, you should maintain sufficient sleep, so that the yang energy does not leak out or dissipate, but is hidden in the body. "The diet should be based on nourishing yin and moistening the lungs, and quenching thirst." Zheng Haoyun said that at this time, you can eat more sour fruits and vegetables such as hawthorn, pomegranate, and tomatoes to restrain lung qi; Eat more moisturizing foods such as white fungus, lily, and honey to help relieve the discomfort caused by autumn dryness; Avoid overeating spicy and greasy products, so as not to help heat and dryness and damage the spleen and stomach. In autumn and winter, can you start to "stick autumn fat" in the beginning of autumn? According to experts, the human body needs to replenish energy and nutrition after the consumption of summer, and prepare for the autumn and winter seasons, so it can be appropriately supplemented, but it is necessary to choose the appropriate way according to the individual's physical constitution and climate characteristics. The principles of tonic are: regulating the spleen and stomach, moistening the lungs and replenishing the lungs, increasing acid and astringencing, eating meat in moderation, replenishing water, and reasonably arranging the eating time. It should be noted that uncontrolled eating is fat, sweet and greasy, and "sticking to autumn fat" is excessive, which may also increase the burden on the digestive system. "After the beginning of autumn, people are prone to sad autumn feelings, and traditional Chinese medicine believes that sadness and sadness will damage lung qi, and if the lungs are not solid, they are susceptible to wind evil." Zheng Haoyun said that people can maintain their mental peace and feel comfortable by practicing meditation and listening to music, and at the same time, exercise should be based on relaxation and gentleness, and you can choose Tai Chi, walking and other items, and the elderly, children and people with weak constitution should pay more attention to the moderation of exercise.
