Health and wellness Autumn health, focus on nourishing yin, do 8 things well, keep safe!
As an experienced veteran Chinese medicine practitioner, I am well aware of the importance of autumn health. Autumn is the season of harvest of all things in nature, and it is also the time for our human body to recuperate physically and mentally.
At this time, nourishing yin has become the top priority of autumn health. So, how to nourish yin in autumn? Next, I will introduce you to 8 things to do to ensure a safe autumn.
First things first: diet.
The autumn diet should be based on nourishing yin and clearing heat, and eat more warm foods, such as glutinous rice, red dates, lotus seeds, yams, white fungus, etc. In addition, it is necessary to increase the intake of protein and fat, such as eggs, milk, lean meat, etc. At the same time, it is necessary to eat less spicy, barbecue and other foods to avoid aggravating autumn dryness.
The second thing: stay well hydrated.
Autumn is a dry climate, and the human body is prone to water shortage.
Therefore, we should maintain adequate water intake, drink at least 8 glasses of water a day to maintain the normal metabolism of the body. At the same time, you can eat honey, pears and other moist foods in moderation to keep them moist.
The third thing: keep warm.
Although the temperature gradually decreases in autumn, the body's yang energy gradually recedes at this time, and the resistance is relatively weak. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to increasing clothing in a timely manner, especially in the morning and evening, to avoid the occurrence of colds and respiratory diseases.
The fourth thing: exercise in moderation.
Fall is a great time to get some exercise. We can choose tai chi, yoga and other gentle exercises to enhance the body's immunity. At the same time, you should pay attention to keeping warm when exercising to avoid excessive sweating and causing colds.
The fifth thing: get enough sleep.
In autumn, it is advisable to go to bed early and get up early to ensure adequate sleep time.
A good night's sleep helps to eliminate fatigue, strengthen immunity, and prevent diseases.
The sixth thing: spiritual recuperation.
Autumn is a great time for recuperation. We need to keep our mood happy and avoid the effects of anxiety, depression and other negative emotions. You can listen to more relaxation activities such as ** and reading to maintain a peaceful state of mind.
Seventh thing: Avoid over-supplementation.
Although autumn is a good time to take supplements, we should avoid over-supplementation. Excessive tonic can easily cause a burden on the body and affect digestive function. It is necessary to take an appropriate amount of tonic according to your own situation, such as paying attention to the appropriate amount when eating tonic products such as bird's nest and ejiao.
The eighth thing: strengthen the air humidity.
In autumn, when the air is dry, you can use a humidifier or place a basin indoors to increase indoor humidity to reduce symptoms such as dryness and dry mouth.
