Pay attention to restraining Yang QiAfter the beginning of autumn, the Yang energy in nature begins to converge and settle, and people should start preparing to maintain their Yang energy. Going to bed early can conform to the contraction of Yang Qi, and getting up early can stretch the lung Qi. In addition, going to bed early and getting up early can reduce the chance of thrombosis and prevent ischemic diseases such as cerebral thrombosis. 2. Pay attention to nourishing the lungs and protecting the liver Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the liver is the general, and the fight against foreign aggressors and internal pacification all depends on the liver, which is equivalent to the detoxification and immune functions in Western medicine. And "the lungs are the organ of the prime minister, from which all the qi of the body enters and exits through the lungs." The lungs belong to the element of metal, and the earth is golden in autumn, so the lungs govern autumn. In addition, autumn is the season of harvest, and dryness is the main air of autumn. The lungs are a "delicate organ" that cannot tolerate cold or heat, so they are easily harmed by autumn dryness. Therefore, it is necessary to moisturize dryness, nourish yin, and moisten the lungs. Autumn belongs to the element of metal, and metal overcomes wood, so this kind of autumn air will inhibit the growth of your liver qi and liver blood. The liver opens up to the eyes, so at this time the eyesight will decline. You should pay attention to protecting your liver and go to bed early and get up early. What misunderstandings should we avoid in maintaining health during the Beginning of Autumn?Myth 1: Keep warm in spring and cool in autumn to improve your healthCorrect answer: "Keep warm in spring and cold in autumn to avoid diseases" is a proverb about health care and disease prevention, but it depends on the individual. The elderly, children, patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, chronic kidney disease, and stomach disease should not be "frozen". Healthy people must also pay attention to "freezing" in moderation. Myth 2: Gaining weight in autumn is good for winter Correct answer: "Putting on weight in autumn" to prepare for the winter is no longer suitable for the dietary structure of modern people. Randomly "putting on weight" will be counterproductive. It is recommended to listen to the doctor's advice before "putting on weight in autumn". Myth 3: The more you take in autumn, the better Correct answer: Appropriate supplementation is good for health, but it should not be abused, and it should not be confused between deficiency and excess. It is not advisable to replace food with medicine, as medicinal supplements are not as good as food supplements. Myth 4: Drink more boiled water to prevent autumn dryness Correct answer: The simplest and most important way to deal with "autumn dryness" is to "drink water". But drinking only water is not good either, as large amounts of water will dilute the gastric juice and disrupt the electrolyte balance in the body. |
