Autumn solar term health food therapy
1. Autumn food should dispel heat and nourish yin
In the beginning of autumn, the temperature difference between day and night will increase. We should adhere to the principle of eliminating heat and clearing away heat in diet, and eat more yin nourishing and lung moistening foods. Medical experts believe that in autumn, dryness will rise and body fluid will be easily damaged. Therefore, it is advisable to nourish yin and moisten lung in diet. You can eat sesame, glutinous rice, japonica rice, honey, loquat, pineapple, dairy and other soft and moist foods to benefit your stomach and promote fluid production. In addition, eat more beans and other foods, and less greasy and tasty things.
Considering that the weather may still be hot, you can eat more vegetables and fruits to reduce the heat and dispel the heat. You can also supplement vitamins and minerals in time, neutralize the excess acid metabolites in the body, and play the role of clearing fire and detoxification. Vegetables should be fresh and juicy, such as: cucumber, winter melon, tomato, celery, etc. Fruit should be used for nourishing yin and promoting body fluid, such as grapes, watermelons, pears and bananas. In addition, we need to remind that eating a large number of melons and fruits after autumn is easy to cause stomach and intestinal diseases. Therefore, people with deficiency of spleen and stomach should not eat too much.
2. Keeping lung and liver in autumn
According to experts of traditional Chinese medicine, after the beginning of autumn, the lungs correspond to the autumn, while the autumn is dry and the air is dry, which is easy to cause diseases, so it is necessary to moisten the dryness, yin and lungs. At this time, the liver, heart and spleen and stomach are still in a weak stage. Therefore, after the beginning of autumn, the lung function begins to be in a strong period. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the regulation and maintenance, so that the lung qi does not deviate too much, affecting the health of the body.
Experts pointed out that we should properly moisten the lungs, replenish more water, and eat less spicy, barbecue, greasy and stomach damaging food. On the contrary, we can eat more nuts. It is also advisable to get up early and lie down early in the daily life, breathe more fresh air, and take more deep breath, so as to discharge harmful substances in the body in time. Pay attention not to do strenuous exercise, not overwork, can moderate jogging, promote blood circulation, enhance physical fitness.
3. 'Autumn tiger' still hurts people
After the beginning of autumn, we will find that the temperature difference between day and night gradually increases. In the daytime, when the hot temperature reaches night, it will start to become cool. Therefore, too much temperature difference in the morning and evening is likely to cause frequent colds, etc. But the beginning of autumn is not really the arrival of autumn. The heat of summer hasn't gone, the "autumn tiger" may even be covetous, and the weather is gradually turning to dry heat. Especially after the beginning of autumn, it may be hot again, and sometimes this hot climate may last until September, so the weather can be really cool. Therefore, we should be careful of "autumn tiger" and heatstroke.
In order to prevent heatstroke, parents had better ensure adequate sleep, pay attention to water supplement, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, do not stay in the air-conditioned room for a long time, so as to avoid 'hot cold' caused by too large indoor and outdoor temperature difference. When you go out, remember to take care of the sunstroke prevention products such as Huoxiang Zhengqi, jinyinhualu, and do a good job in sunscreen.
