As the seasons change, the coolness of autumn gradually comes, but some middle-aged people may frequently feel dry mouth at this time, accompanied by a feeling of being on fire. Dry mouth is not only uncomfortable, but it can also interfere with normal eating and living. What is the reason for this?It will delve into the causes of dry mouth in autumn and provide four coping tips to help middle-aged people spend a comfortable and healthy autumn.The temperature is gradually dropping:In autumn, the temperature gradually cools, and the humidity in the air also decreases accordingly, which can easily lead to the loss of water in the oral mucosa, causing a feeling of dry mouth. Seasonal transition: During the seasonal transition period, the human body needs to adapt to changes in temperature, humidity and other aspects, resulting in the adjustment of some physiological functions, and dry mouth may be one of them.
Lack of water intake: As the weather gets cooler, people may reduce the amount of water they drink, resulting in a lack of water in the body and a loss of normal lubrication of the oral mucosa. Autumn is easy to catch fire: Traditional Chinese medicine theory believes that autumn is a time of golden dryness, which is easy to hurt the lungs and cause dry mouth, which some people will interpret as a sign of fire.
Drink water reasonably: Maintain adequate water intake in autumn, and drink enough water every day to help maintain the moistness of the oral mucosa and relieve the symptoms of dry mouth. You can choose lukewarm water, light salt water, etc., and avoid over-reliance on stimulant drinks.
Proper tonic pear shengjin:Eating pears in autumn helps to clear away heat and rejuvenate the body, which is a good choice for relieving dry mouth. The moisture and nutrients in pears help moisturize the mouth and strengthen the body's resistance.
Eat more vitamin-rich foods: Increasing your intake of vitamin-rich foods, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, can help maintain the health of the oral mucosa. In particular, foods rich in vitamin C can help strengthen the immune system and reduce the uncomfortable effects of autumn dryness on the mouth.
Adjust lifestyle habits: Proper adjustment of work and rest and ensuring sufficient sleep time can help improve immunity and slow down the adjustment process of body functions. Avoiding staying up late and being overly tired has a positive effect on relieving dry mouth.
Eat less spicy and stimulating foods:Spicy and irritating foods can easily cause irritation of the oral mucosa and increase the feeling of dry mouth. Minimize your intake of spicy foods during the fall. Avoid hot foods: Some hot foods, such as lamb and chili peppers, may cause excessive fire in the body and increase the symptoms of dry mouth. Control your intake of these foods in moderation.
Increase water-rich foods: Consume water-rich foods such as watermelon, cucumber, grapefruit, etc. Helps to improve the moisturization of the mouth and relieve the feeling of dry mouth.
Moderate exercise: Moderate exercise can promote blood circulation, enhance immunity, and have a positive effect on relieving dry mouth in autumn. Maintain indoor humidity: Maintaining proper humidity indoors, which can be achieved by using a humidifier or placing some moist plants, can help slow down the drying out of the oral mucosa.
Epilogue :Dry mouth is a relatively common problem in the fall, but with a reasonable diet and lifestyle adjustments, it can be completely effective in alleviating the symptoms. Maintaining good lifestyle habits, moderate tonic intake, and increasing water intake are key. I hope that middle-aged people can have a healthy and comfortable life this autumn and get rid of the problem of dry mouth. May you all have a pleasant autumn day, full of energy and health.
