In autumn, the weather gradually changes from high and cool autumn to cold, and the temperature difference between day and night is even greater. At this time, diseases such as colds, rhinitis, , pharyngitis, , chronic stomach disease, , diarrhea, etc. are prone to occur. What should you pay attention to in this season of health preservation? Mi Fancai, the attending physician of the Oncology Department of Xiamen Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, said that in addition to daily life, diet regulation, calming emotions, and moderate exercise, you can also learn acupoints that nourish yin and reduce fire, warm meridians and unblock meridians and meridians and health preservation.
Pay attention to keep warm
Especially the head and navel of the feet
Although the rice is just now, when autumn comes, you should pay attention to keeping warm everywhere in the body, especially the feet. As the saying goes, "cold starts from the feet." If the feet are cold, the whole body will be cold. If the body has poor resistance, the cold energy is easy to take advantage of the situation. Therefore, try to wear socks that cover your ankles after autumn to avoid getting cold. At the same time, the head should also avoid being exposed to cold, which is the "convergence of all yangs". If the head is exposed to cold, the yang energy is easily lost, and the blood supply of nerves and blood vessels in the head is affected. Insufficient qi and blood will be manifested as headache.
There is also a belly button that needs to be kept warm during this period. If a child catches cold belly button, he is prone to invasion of cold air, causing abdominal pain and diarrhea. Women catch cold in the lower abdomen, which can easily induce dysmenorrhea and irregular menstruation.
The shoulder is also a part that is prone to cold. Cold air causes poor circulation of qi and blood, and it causes pain if it is blocked. People with shoulder and neck diseases should pay more attention to keeping their shoulders warm. Those who are afraid of cold can use moxa leaves, pepper, angelica and other medicinal materials to soak their feet in water to warm the meridians and unblock the meridians.
Replenish hydration and reduce drying
"Flying salt water, late bee soup" Exercise more
The autumn is dry, and dry air can easily lead to dry mouth and tongue. The ancients said that "beautiful salt water is in the evening, bee soup is in the evening."
It is recommended that drink some salt water in the morning and honey water in the evening, which can not only replenish water, but also reduce dryness, resist aging, and prevent constipation. At the same time, he suggested that you should eat less cold drinks of popsicles, spicy, greasy and irritating foods, eat more pears, lily , loquat , lotus root and other clear fruits and vegetables, and avoid eating spicy and irritating foods such as pepper, ginger, onion, and wine. You can drink health tea appropriately such as chrysanthemum tea , red dates and wolfberry tea, honeysuckle tea , etc., to nourish yin and moisten dryness, replenish qi and nourish blood , and to drive away cold and keep warm.
After entering autumn, the sunshine decreases, and the scenery is touching, and it is prone to fall depression. Mi Fancai said that emotional conditioning is very important at this time. We must maintain a positive and optimistic attitude and a peaceful mood. We can participate in more sports, group activities, etc. to vent our depression. Cultivate your own interests, such as listening to music, taking a walk, etc., cultivate sentiment, and relieve work pressure.
Mi San emphasized that autumn is a good time to exercise. Appropriate exercise can regulate lung qi , improve lung kinetic energy, and help enhance resistance. When the body is stimulated by external cold, it has better resistance. Autumn exercise should be determined by individual circumstances. If you are full of energy, climbing and climbing are the best exercises, which can thicken the bones, improve joint flexibility, enhance muscle contraction, and participate in the whole body.
In addition, walking, practicing Tai Chi , etc. are also good choices. However, it should be noted that the intensity of exercise should not be too high at the beginning, and should be gradually improved. If you exercise too much, it will increase the body's fatigue and will be detrimental to health preservation.
