After the National Day holiday, we ushered in Cold Dew among the twenty-four solar terms. I believe that people traveling during the National Day have more or less felt the strong autumn atmosphere. With the arrival of the Cold Dew solar term, it means that it has reached late autumn. During the Cold Dew solar term, due to the changes in climate, we should also make certain adjustments to our health strategies. So, how should we maintain health during the Cold Dew solar term? Let’s ask an expert to tell us now.
Cold dew should beware of lung diseases. Health care should focus on nourishing yin blood
According to Huang Hanchao, deputy chief physician of Guangdong Second Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, in the cold dew season, the climate begins to become cool and dry. Because the autumn wind begins to become dry again, it is easy to get affected if it is insufficient yin and blood, and lung diseases are especially common.
"In the cold dew season, there are three types of people who are most susceptible to the problem. First, patients with tuberculosis and yin blood deficiency, and secondly, patients with chronic emphysema. Because the disease is in the lungs, the lungs belong to metal in traditional Chinese medicine. In dry metal, that is, in autumn, it is easier to damage the yin fluid. Finally, there are women, especially women with blood deficiency and lighter menstrual blood color, yin fluid may be affected by the weather and further problems."
In general, for the above three people, you should pay attention to health care during the cold dew season, and you can choose some corresponding ingredients to nourish yin blood and regulate the body.
How should I eat cold dew health care? Expert: Black Chicken turtle is an ideal ingredient for nourishing
Speaking of solar terms, it is naturally inseparable from diet therapy and medicinal food. Deputy Chief Physician Huang Hanchao said that during the cold dew season, according to the characteristics of the season, we should achieve the purpose of nourishing yin and blood and accumulating yang through diet. We can choose some semi-warm foods. In terms of meat, black chicken and turtles are good.
"Black chicken is black in color, and it is better to replenish blood than ordinary chicken, and it will not be very dry. The recommended recipes include Angelica Codonopsis and Atractylodes macrocephala stewed black chicken, which has obvious therapeutic effects on improving dizziness and blood deficiency. If you have obvious dizziness, you can also add Tianma . In addition, there are turtles. The common recipe is stewed turtles in Huaishan wolfberry, etc.."
In addition to black chicken and turtles, Huang Hanchao, deputy chief physician, believes that during the cold dew season, we can also eat some seasonal fruits, such as jujube, apple, cantaloupe, etc., are good choices. If you think cantaloupe is sweet and cold, you can also use it to make soup, such as cantaloupe, apple, and ribs, which have the effect of moistening the intestines. In addition, papaya is also available for making soup. Papaya soup is a good recipe for nourishing yin.
. In contrast, there are some foods that are not suitable for consumption during this period. Deputy Chief Physician Huang Hanchao introduced that cold dew is not suitable for eating hot foods, such as mutton, dog meat, etc. If it is not severe yang deficiency or blood deficiency, you can wait for frost drop or later seasons before taking it. In addition, it is not advisable to eat too much tropical fruits such as durian, , jackfruit, , pineapple, and mango.
