A taboo disease-free tonic. No disease supplement, not only increase expenditure, but also harm themselves. Such as taking excessive cod liver oil can cause poisoning, long-term use of glucose will cause obesity. The increase of cholesterol in blood can easily induce cardiovascular disease;
Two taboo Mu Ming Jin Bu. It is believed that the more expensive the medicine is, the more beneficial it is to the health. Ginseng is also the holy medicine in tonics, so more people take it.

Advice 2: exercise should be "four Preventions"
In autumn, if we insist on appropriate physical exercise, it can not only improve the function of lung organs, but also enhance the immune function of various tissues and organs and the body's ability to resist cold stimulation. However, due to the large temperature difference between morning and evening in autumn and the dry climate, we must pay attention to four precautions in order to achieve good fitness effect
Prevent cold. In the early morning of autumn, the temperature is low. You can't wear single clothes to outdoor activities. You should increase or decrease clothes according to the outdoor temperature. It's not suitable to take off too much during exercise. You can take off too much clothes only after your body is hot. Don't wear sweaty clothes to stay in the cold wind after exercise to prevent your body from catching cold.
Prevent sports injury. Because the human muscle and ligament will reflexively cause vasoconstriction in the environment of falling temperature, the muscle stretch will be significantly reduced, the physiological range of motion of the joint will be reduced, and the regulation ability of the nervous system to the motor organs will be reduced, so it is very easy to cause the sports injury of muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints. Therefore, we must pay attention to make full preparations before each exercise.
Prevent excessive exercise. Autumn is a good season for exercise, but at this time, because the body's Yin essence and Yang Qi are in the stage of convergence and internal cultivation, exercise should also comply with this principle, that is, the amount of exercise should not be too large, in order to prevent sweating too much and Yang Qi loss too much, exercise should choose relaxed and gentle, small amount of activity.
Prevent autumn dryness. Autumn is dry. For exercisers, they should eat more food such as pear, sesame, honey and Tremella after each exercise, such as nourishing Yin, moistening lung and replenishing fluid. If they sweat a lot, they can add some salt water. When replenishing, they should drink a small amount, many times and slowly.
Advice 3: cold in autumn should be frozen
The weather is getting colder. At this time, we should strengthen cold prevention exercise to exercise the body's resistance function, so as to stimulate the body to gradually adapt to the cold environment, which is conducive to avoiding the occurrence of many diseases, the most common of which is respiratory diseases. In addition, winter often induce bronchitis, chronic tracheitis, rheumatism and so on, autumn cold exercise can improve the body's resistance to disease, play a positive role in the prevention of disease. The understanding of autumn freezing should not be limited to not only adding clothes before the cold, but also should be understood in a broad sense, such as exercise, but also stress cold tolerance exercise, so as to enhance the body's ability to adapt to the cold climate. Different age can choose different exercise programs. No matter what kind of activity, we should pay attention to the word "frozen", do not sweat profusely. When the whole body is slightly hot, you can stop sweating, so as to ensure the introversion of Yin essence and avoid the external consumption of Yang Qi. Cold bath, should persist in the whole autumn, do not break.
Advice 4: prevent obesity in autumn
Obesity not only hinders people's physical beauty, but also brings' civilized diseases' such as hypertension, coronary heart disease and cerebral arteriosclerosis. It is the enemy of human health. People's obesity will change with the change of seasons. Relevant experts point out that autumn is the season for people to get fat easily. Obese people should pay more attention to losing weight.
Every summer, people lose weight, even the obese. This is due to the hot weather, people's increased activity, sweating, energy consumption, mainly to give off heat, fat cell metabolism is also faster, get a certain degree of consumption, therefore, the degree of obesity will also be improved. In summer, the days are longer, and it is easy to sleep less in hot days, resulting in heat dissipation in the body, vigorous metabolism in the body, and relatively increased heat emission. On the other hand, the summer weather is sultry, people generally lose appetite, intake of light food, light food with low caloric content, so the body heat supply is insufficient. In autumn, the weather turns cool, people's taste increases, appetite, diet will unconsciously excessive, so that the intake of calories greatly increased. In addition, the pleasant climate makes people sleep enough and sweat less. In addition, in order to meet the arrival of the cold winter, the body will actively store the fat to keep warm, so the body absorbs more heat than it emits. In autumn, if people are not careful, they will gain weight and become fat gradually, which is a threat to the obese people.
It seems that obese people should pay more attention to weight loss in autumn. First of all, we should pay attention to diet regulation, eat more low calorie diet food, such as red beans, radish, bamboo shoots, Coix, kelp, mushrooms and so on. Secondly, in autumn, we should also pay attention to increase the consumption of calories, increase activities in a planned way, and seize the time in the morning to choose a certain amount of physical exercise. It's a good time to travel in autumn. You can not only enjoy yourself, but also increase the amount of activities to achieve the goal of losing weight.
