October 23 is frost drop in the twenty-four solar terms. Frost fall is the last solar term in autumn and the season with the largest temperature difference between day and night in the year. Hong Kong University Hospital Affiliated to Southeast University Feng Hui, the attending physician of the Department of Internal Medicine of Traditional Chinese Medicine, reminds everyone that after the frost, while keeping warm, you should also pay attention to excessive weight loss in autumn.
Appreciation of chrysanthemums can prevent autumn depression
During the frost, the weather is getting colder, the plants and trees are withered and yellow, and all things are bleak, which can easily cause worry and make people depressed and depressed. This period is the season when chrysanthemums are in full bloom. Appreciating chrysanthemums can make people feel happy, pleasing to the eye, and improve their depressed mood.
Persimmons can prevent autumn dryness
Persimmons usually fully mature before and after frost fall . Persimmons are sweet and astringent, and are cold in nature. They have the effects of clearing heat and promoting fluid, moistening the lungs and resolving phlegm, cooling blood and stopping bleeding, etc. They can relieve symptoms such as dry lips, dry stools, coughing and phlegm, and bleeding from hemorrhoids caused by autumn dryness. Among them, the dry calyx of persimmons - persimmon pedicel , has the effect of reducing reversal and lowering qi, and can be used to treat hiccups , belching , etc. It should be noted that persimmons contain more tannin , which is not suitable for eating on an empty stomach. In addition, people with cold persimmons and high sugar content, chronic gastritis, frequent diarrhea or high blood sugar are not suitable for eating too much persimmon.
Proper exercise to prevent autumn fat
Autumn is the most likely season for people to grow fat. Compared with the hot summer, cool weather will make people have a lot of appetite, so that fat is accumulated bit by bit. Appropriately putting fat in autumn will help you get good health. But if there is no adjustment, after the autumn and winter seasons, people will quickly "benefit". Therefore, when you are having a feast, you should also strengthen physical exercise to prevent excessive weight loss. Hiking and climbing is very suitable for exercise before and after frost. It can not only regulate lung qi , enhance cardiopulmonary function, but also make people feel happy.
Foot soaking can prevent cold
Be careful to keep warm before and after the frost drop, and add appropriate clothes when going out in the morning and evening. In particular, the warmth of the feet cannot be ignored during this period. The intersection of the foot three yin meridians and the foot three yang meridians and is on the feet. At the same time, because the feet are far away from the heart and the blood flows less, the feet are more sensitive to the stimulation of cold. In addition to wearing elastic and suitable socks and soft and breathable shoes, you can also use a warm foot bath to promote blood circulation and ensure warm feet after you go home every day. You can also choose ginger foot bath. People who are often prone to colds can use ginger foot bath; people who are prone to diarrhea and abdominal pain after eating raw and cold foods can use dry ginger foot bath. Women who are prone to dysmenorrhea can use ginger for foot bath. In addition, for people who are prone to nasal congestion after catching a cold in autumn and winter, you can often rub Yingxiang acupoint to open the nose.

Diet should be warm and
Although the frost is already late autumn and the weather is getting cooler, the dry evil has not completely subsided. In daily diet, you should also pay attention to eating more warm foods and eat less spicy foods. Although spicy food can resist cold, it will encourage dryness and damage human body fluids, which is not good for health. Common peaceful and warm foods include glutinous rice, small yellow rice , pumpkin, sweet potato, corn, peanuts, soybeans, carrots, yam , red dates, etc.
Doctor Feng Hui also recommended two dietary therapy recipes and tea drinks suitable for before and after cream.
