It is autumn now. The weather is dry and the weather is different in the morning and evening. At this time, we should pay attention to health preservation in autumn to prevent various diseases. Autumn is not as hot as summer. It is especially suitable for tonifying the body and strengthening the immunity. However, six tips should be kept in mind for health maintenance in autumn. Let's tell you about men's health.
1. Avoid sorrow
According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the corresponding organ in autumn is the lung. Sorrow can easily hurt the lung. On the other hand, when the lung qi is deficient, the tolerance of the body is reduced, and it is also easy to produce sad emotions. Therefore, self-care in autumn should be quiet and comfortable, and pessimism and sadness should be avoided. Even if there are sad things, they should be actively resolved to avoid the spirit of annihilation. At the same time, we should try our best to keep calm and calm in order to adapt to the calm atmosphere of autumn.
2. Pharyngeal fluid
In autumn, people are prone to dry mouth and other discomfort. The "Tao Zang · Jade Axis Classic" proposes that "true liquid nourishes true yin" is to teach people to swallow saliva. The specific method is to stir the tongue in the mouth to stimulate the production of saliva, then swallow it in three times, and consciously send it into the Dantian.
3. Moisten the lung
The autumn diet emphasizes nourishing yin and moistening the lung. According to "The Essence of Drinking and Eating", "In autumn, when the air is dry, it is appropriate to eat sesame to moisten the dryness, and it is forbidden to drink cold." That is to say, you can properly eat sesame, glutinous rice, japonica rice, white radish, honey, loquat, pineapple, dairy and other soft foods to benefit the stomach and generate fluid; You can also boil raw Congee to nourish yin and dryness. In addition, eating lilies and autumn pears can also moisten the lungs.
4. Edible acid
"Suwen · The Chronology of the Zang Qi Method" said: "The lung governs autumn... the lung converges, and the acid is used urgently to harvest it, and the acid is used to supplement it, and the pungent is used to purge it." That is to say, sour taste can astringe the lung qi, while the pungent taste can diffuse and purge the lung. It is better to harvest it in autumn than to disperse it, so we should try to eat less spicy food such as onions and ginger, and eat more sour fruits and vegetables appropriately.
5. Autumn freeze
At the beginning of autumn, the heat is not over, the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, and the weather is changeable. Even in the same area, there will be "four seasons in one day, different days in ten miles". At this time, it is not appropriate to add clothes immediately. The stimulation of slight cold in autumn can improve the excitability of the brain, accelerate the skin metabolism, enhance the body's cold-resistant ability, and better adapt to the coming winter. Of course, autumn freezing should also be moderate and vary from person to person. It should not be too cold to shiver. The elderly and children should pay attention to keeping warm.
6. Autumn fat
In hot summer, people generally have a poor appetite. After the beginning of autumn, although the weather is hot, people no longer feel sticky and uncomfortable, so they want to eat something good to compensate for the deficit since the beginning of summer. Therefore, there is a folk saying of "sticking autumn fat". Stewed meat is the most common food for sticking autumn fat. However, on the one hand, modern people generally eat high calories, and on the other hand, many people themselves are overweight, so the autumn fat must be moderate, and it is not appropriate to eat and drink too much, especially to eat less fat and sweet.
