What should we pay attention to during the Beginning of Heat solar term? Dietary precautions during the End of Heat
The End of Autumn comes in the middle to late July of the lunar calendar every year, and the students' vacation is about to end. At the end of the seventh lunar month, what should we pay attention to during the Beginning of Autumn solar term? Dietary taboos during the Beginning of Autumn. In July, melons and fruits are fragrant, so we also call the seventh month of the lunar calendar the "Melon Month". Follow Mr. Shui Mo's website and let us learn more about the seventh month of the lunar calendar in 2019!What should we pay attention to during the Beginning of Heat solar term?Avoid coldsThe weather in early autumn is cold and warm at the same time, and it is difficult for the body to adapt to the sudden changes in hot and cold weather. Therefore, when the temperature is low, you should add clothes to keep warm in time; open windows frequently to ventilate and ensure indoor air circulation; when colds are prevalent, try to avoid crowded and poorly ventilated public places; you can use aged vinegar for fumigation and sterilization at home; washing your face and nose with cold water frequently can also help prevent colds. Avoid stomach upset In autumn, the temperature difference between day and night is large. Due to the stimulation of cold air, gastric acid secretion will increase, and the stomach and intestines are prone to spasmodic contractions. As the weather turns cooler, people's appetite increases, which puts more burden on the stomach and intestines, making it very easy to develop stomach problems. People with stomach problems should pay special attention to keeping their stomachs warm in autumn; they should eat warm, soft, light, vegetarian food, eat small meals frequently, and eat at regular times and in fixed amounts; they should also quit smoking and drinking. Avoid sleep deprivation The Beginning of Autumn is a period of transition from heat to cool. The Yang energy in nature tends to be restrained instead of released, and the rise and fall of the Yin and Yang energy in the human body also changes accordingly. From the perspective of health preservation, daily routines should be adjusted accordingly at this time. Experts say that adding an hour of sleep and ensuring a quality nap can keep people alert and also conserve energy and recharge before winter comes. Especially for the elderly, as they age, their qi, blood, yin and yang are deficient, and they will experience insomnia during the day and sleeplessness at night. Therefore, you can go to bed early at night and stick to the good habit of taking a nap. Even if you can't fall asleep, closing your eyes and resting is good for your body. Statistics show that taking a nap in the afternoon can reduce the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in the elderly. Therefore, the noon nap not only has the significance of disease prevention and health care, but also conforms to the principles of health preservation. For young people, adequate sleep can make study and work more energetic, and can also reduce the occurrence of "autumn sleepiness". Avoid "diseases from the mouth" Diet and disease can easily be "linked". After the Beginning of Autumn, the temperature difference between morning and evening begins to become obvious. The stomach and intestines cannot accept the stimulation of sudden changes in temperature. Gastric acid secretion increases, and the gastrointestinal tract undergoes spasmodic contractions. Resistance and adaptability will decrease accordingly. At this time, some gastrointestinal diseases are prone to occur. Patients with chronic gastrointestinal diseases often experience symptoms such as acid reflux, abdominal distension, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Coupled with improper diet, this discomfort will be further aggravated, so you must be careful about your diet. Dietary precautions during the End of Heat1. Eat small and frequent meals (beans, milk)During the Beginning of Autumn solar term, it is suitable to eat foods that clear away heat and soothe the mind, such as white fungus, lily, lotus seeds, honey, yellow croaker, scallops, kelp, jellyfish, celery, spinach, glutinous rice, sesame, beans and milk. However, do not eat too much of these foods at one time, and eat small meals frequently. 2. Eat more foods that nourish yin and moisten dryness As the climate gradually becomes drier, the lung meridian in the body is on duty. At this time, you can eat more yin-nourishing and dryness-removing foods to prevent damage from dryness. Such as foods that nourish yin and promote body fluid, such as pears, rock sugar, white fungus, adenophora, duck, or foods that can replenish qi and provide health, such as astragalus, codonopsis, squid, and turtle. Of course, eating more fruits and vegetables can help promote salivation and relieve dryness, eliminate heat and promote bowel movements, and can replenish the body's body fluids. 3. Avoid dietary preferences You should eat less or no fried foods, as these foods will aggravate the symptoms of autumn dryness. Avoiding dietary bias and diversifying your diet can help to fully nourish the human body. 4. Eat a light diet Eat less fat and sweet food, and eat light food. Overeating of fatty, sweet and greasy foods is one of the important factors that cause hypertension, arteriosclerosis, coronary heart disease and diabetes in the elderly. We should pay more attention to preventing such diseases during the Beginning of Autumn. Traditional Chinese medicine advocates a light diet. 5. Moderate heat and cold The temperature is moderate, and the hardness and softness are appropriate. The food should also be kept at the appropriate temperature. People have different requirements for the temperature of food. Generally speaking, people with a yang constitution prefer cold drinks, while people with a yin constitution prefer hot drinks. The temperature of food can be adjusted according to personal preference, but it must not be too cold or too hot. If the food is not warm or cold, it will not only cause adverse stimulation to the gastrointestinal tract, but also damage the yin and yang energy of the human body. |
