As the saying goes, "spring is sleepy and autumn is tired", when autumn arrives, the comfortable wind slowly blows on the face...
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
This kind of weather is also too suitable for sleeping!
Autumn is the season of harvest, but it is also the season of "autumn fatigue".
Why is it "autumn fatigue"?
In the hot summer weather, our human body is prone to lose a lot of sweat, resulting in imbalance of water and salt metabolism, which in turn leads to an increase in the burden on the gastrointestinal digestive system and the cardiovascular system.
In the autumn, the weather changes from hot to cool, the human body sweats less, the balance of water and salt metabolism begins to recover, and the functions of the human body's various systems begin to restore their proper balance.
In the process of this physiological rest, the body will produce an inexplicable feeling of exhaustion. Sometimes it's okay to be busy, but I feel tired when I have time.
What are the symptoms of "autumn fatigue"?
The symptoms of autumn fatigue are actually quite obvious. In contrast, do you have any of the following situations?
(1) I don't want to get up in the morning, I just want to stick to the bed and never separate;
(2) After barely getting up, I can't get up, my eyes are sleepy, my movements are slow, and my mind is full of "Who am I, where am I, and what am I going to do?" ”
(3) Physical exhaustion, reluctance to move or talk;
(4) Poor appetite, do not know what to eat;
(5) Serious drowsiness after lunch, unable to lift his head;
(6) Dry throat, dry mouth, dry nose;
(7) Decreased thinking ability, slow response, poor memory, and sometimes accompanied by headaches;
(8) Temper is strong, not happy.
We often combine spring sleepiness and autumn fatigue together, but in fact, "sleepiness" and "lack" are two different concepts.
Sleepiness, of course, refers to not sleeping enough, always lack of sleep;
Fatigue, on the other hand, is mainly manifested as muscle weakness and mental tiredness.
But not all "lack" will snooze, and some people are so tired that they can't sleep at all.
If you don't sleep well, you can't get rid of it, so a vicious circle is formed.
Normally, autumn fatigue usually lasts for two weeks before recovering.
But if the autumn fatigue lasts too long, it will attract everyone's attention, which is likely to damage the spleen and stomach.
The spleen and stomach are the source of qi, blood and biochemistry, the spleen and stomach are damaged, the biochemical jin liquid will be insufficient, the jin liquid cannot nourish the muscles, the muscles will continue to be weak, and people will always be in a state of "fatigue".
So how to compensate for the "injured spleen and stomach" and make yourself no longer "autumn tired"?
Sing along with me:
Haha no, the real solution is here ↓↓
