What should we pay attention to during the Frost Descent in 2018?
There are 24 solar terms in my country, and each of them has some different issues to pay attention to no matter what aspects they are in, otherwise small problems will become big problems. It is the last month of autumn. As we are about to enter winter, Mr. Shui Mo has brought you some relevant content for September of the lunar calendar in 2018. You can take a look at it.

What should we pay attention to during the 2018 Frost Descent?

In terms of clothing: 1. Wear less chemical fiber clothing to avoid static electricity. The autumn wind dries things out and static electricity is easy to occur. Elderly people with cardiovascular diseases are easily affected by static electricity, which may aggravate their condition or induce arrhythmias such as ventricular premature beats. Therefore, in the dry season, the indoor humidity should be maintained at a certain level, and a humidifier can be used when necessary. For the elderly, soft and smooth cotton or silk underwear should be selected, and chemical fiber clothing should be avoided as much as possible to minimize the harm of static electricity. 2. Prepare several pieces of clothing and add and remove them as needed. As the saying goes, "If you want to be comfortable, take off and put on frequently." Whether to add clothes should be determined according to weather changes. Do not add too many clothes. Make sure you don't feel cold. It is recommended to prepare several more autumn clothes, and add or reduce them as appropriate. In terms of keeping warm: 1. Warm the feet. The feet are the second heart of the human body. Many meridian routes of the human body originate from the feet, especially the part below the ankle. The internal organs and limbs of the human body have corresponding reflex areas in the feet. Stimulating or exercising the feet can have a positive and beneficial effect on the organs of the whole body through the meridians. Soaking your feet in hot water for 20 minutes every day can effectively dredge the tendons and veins of your feet. 2. Warm your shoulders. Shoulders are an easily overlooked part of the body that gets cold. In autumn and winter, we curl up in warm beds, but as long as our shoulders are exposed, we will feel very cold. If we ignore it, our shoulders will immediately become painful and sore when we wake up the next day. This is actually caused by cold shoulders. During the Frost Descent season, be sure to keep your shoulders warm and avoid wearing shoulder-exposed clothing. 3. Warm the abdomen. A cold upper abdomen can easily cause stomach discomfort or even pain. A cold lower abdomen is very harmful to women and can easily induce dysmenorrhea and irregular menstruation. Don’t wear belly-exposing clothes anymore. No matter how high the indoor temperature is, you should cover yourself with a blanket when you sleep at night and don’t expose your abdomen. Otherwise, you may catch a cold and suffer from diarrhea and abdominal pain at the very least, or enteritis at the worst. 4. Warm the knees: Many Japanese and Korean girls still wear short skirts with exposed knees in autumn and winter. In fact, this is harmful to the knee joints. Because the peripheral nerves around the joints are particularly sensitive to changes in temperature and air pressure, catching a cold will cause the surrounding blood circulation to deteriorate, local capillaries and tissues to change, releasing some inflammatory substances, causing symptoms such as redness, swelling, and pain, which in turn cause arthritis. Therefore, young people should pay attention to exercising more, keeping their knee joints warm, and not exposing their knee joints easily. 5. Warm the neck. The neck is the main place where cold air invades. Many people will cough and have sore throats when the seasons change, but the main root of the problem is in the neck. If this part gets cold, it can easily cause a cold with lung symptoms downwards, and cause constriction of blood vessels in the neck upwards, which is not conducive to blood supply to the brain. Therefore, during the Frost Descent season, a warm scarf can be said to be suitable for everyone of all ages. Diet 1. Lotus root: Lotus root has a diuretic effect and can promote the rapid excretion of waste in the body to purify the blood. Lotus root can be eaten hot or cold. Raw lotus root is cold in nature and has the effect of clearing away heat and relieving restlessness. It is especially suitable for women who are prone to acne. 2. Persimmon: Eating persimmons during the Frost's Descent is a custom in many places, but the meanings of eating persimmons during the Frost's Descent are different in different places. Elderly people in Quanzhou believe that eating persimmons during the Frost Descent will prevent a runny nose. In some other places, people eat red tomatoes, believing that they can nourish bones and muscles and keep out the cold. Some places believe that you should eat persimmons on the day of Frost's Descent, otherwise your lips will be chapped throughout the winter. 3. Pumpkin: Autumn is dry and is the peak season for "flu". Eating more foods containing vitamin A and vitamin E can enhance the body's immunity and improve the symptoms of autumn dryness. The beta-carotene contained in pumpkin will be converted into vitamin A after being absorbed by the human body. Eating more pumpkin can also prevent and treat diseases such as ascariasis, nematode disease, diabetes, and reduce the risk of measles. 4. Radish: There is a folk proverb that goes, "Eat radish in winter and ginger in summer, and you won’t need a doctor to prescribe medicine." In addition to explaining that radish is a seasonal vegetable in winter, this sentence also reveals its therapeutic effects. In fact, white radish has many "good partners", some of which can complement each other's nutrition, and some can double the nourishing effect.
