The beginning of autumn has arrived, but the heat has not decreased, the temperature difference between day and night is quietly increasing, and the climate is changeable, so you need to pay more attention to your body. How to maintain health during this season? Dr. Ni Jingmin from the Respiratory Department of Chongming Branch of Yueyang Hospital said that it is necessary to adjust work and rest, pay attention to diet and regulate emotions.
Ni Jingmin introduced that after the beginning of autumn, the yang energy in nature converges and the yin energy grows gradually, and the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing" wrote: "Autumn and March, this is called Rongping. The weather is urgent, the earth is bright, lie down early and get up early, and the chickens are happy, so that the will is peaceful, in order to slow the autumn punishment, converge the spirit, make the autumn gas flat, no outside its ambition, so that the lungs are clear, this autumn air should be, the way of raising and adopting is also. ”
Lie down early and get up early to collect the sun
At this time, you should pay attention to go to bed early and get up early, "the Yellow Emperor Neijing" said that in autumn, you should "lie down early and get up early, and the chickens are happy", after entering the beginning of autumn, the night is getting longer and the days are shorter, and the sleep time at night should be increased. Going to bed early can nourish yin qi, converge yang qi, and get up early to regulate lung qi, which is in line with the health regimen of nourishing yin and nourishing lungs in autumn. At the same time, it can also enhance the body's adaptability through exercise and adapt to climate changes.
Less bitterness, more acid, more moisturizing lungs
In terms of diet, you need to nourish. It is recommended to eat sour fruits such as papaya, plums, apricots, oranges, etc., and you can also eat sesame, glutinous rice, japonica rice, honey, loquat and other soft foods to benefit the stomach.
The mood is calm and not melancholy
In terms of regulating emotions, it is necessary to "restrain the spirit", and should rest and recuperate, not to be angry, ecstatic, and sad, and to keep the lung qi smooth and refreshing, which corresponds to the corresponding "way of adoption" in autumn. In the Five Elements, autumn corresponds to "receiving" this qi, and if it is violated, it will harm the lung qi. Lung Qi refers not only to the function of the lungs, but also to the collection of Qi throughout the body. If the autumn harvest is not good, the winter storage will be affected, and symptoms such as yang deficiency and diarrhea will appear.
At the same time, Dr. Ni Jingmin also reminded that the temperature difference between morning and evening will become larger after the beginning of autumn, which is easy to cause colds, asthma and other diseases, so it is necessary to add clothes in time in the morning and evening, and the waist, abdomen and feet need to be kept warm, and wind and cold protection cannot be ignored.
