Today's autumnal equinox! Prevent cold, protect heart and lung, and eat to relieve autumn dryness

       Today is the 16th of the 24 solar terms - the autumnal equinox. At this time, most parts of China have entered a cool autumn, and the temperature has gradually dropped. TCM believes that "Yang is nourished in spring and summer, and Yin is nourished in autumn and winter". The weather changes obviously in the autumnal equinox, which is a good time to strengthen the body.

　　Three cold places at the autumnal equinox Don't freeze

　　After the autumnal equinox, the temperature difference between day and night is large, and the temperature drops more obviously if it rains. If the clothes are too bare at this time, the cold air will irritate the skin, and the human body will lose immunity due to the cold, so that it is unable to resist the cold pathogen. It is easy to have lung and respiratory diseases, such as fever, cough, bronchitis, etc., and even pneumonia in severe cases.

　　Because the temperature changes greatly in late autumn, this changeable weather will cause the blood vessels of skin and subcutaneous tissue to contract, and increase the resistance of surrounding blood vessels, leading to the increase of blood pressure and blood viscosity. Even in normal autumn frost, there are three "forbidden areas" - head, navel and foot, which should be strictly protected.

　　Head: It's better to wear a hat when going out in the autumn. When washing your hair, the water should be a little hotter than usual. When sweating on your forehead, you can't see the wind. This is because the head, as the "meeting of all Yang" of the human body, is one of the most vigorous parts of the body. If you get cold, most of your yang will be lost.

　　People with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, people with vascular diseases of limbs, people with lukewarm limbs and people susceptible to wind chill should be especially vigilant in this regard.

　　Bellybutton: The traditional Chinese medicine calls the navel the Shenque point. Warming this point can stimulate the body's yang. Especially for those who are weak in the spleen and stomach, afraid of cold and prone to diarrhea, they should pay special attention to keeping this part warm. They can also take the method of frequent hot compress in the navel to expel cold and help yang.

　　Foot: The foot is the farthest place from the heart in all parts of the human body. Therefore, the blood flows the longest, and the foot gathers many channels of the whole body, so people often say that "if the foot is cold, the whole body will be cold". If the feet are cold, the resistance of the body will decline, and diseases and evils may take advantage of the situation. So bubble feet are a very good choice before going to bed in autumn.

　　Pay attention to diet to relieve autumn dryness

　　The weather is relatively dry around the autumnal equinox, and both sweet potatoes and carrots have a good moisturizing effect.

　　Among them, the temperature before the autumnal equinox is generally high, which belongs to warm dryness. It is suitable to eat some cool food to inhibit this dryness, so carrots are better, because carrots can not only adjust the balance of "warm dryness", but also replenish qi and digest food. In some areas, the weather starts to cool after the autumnal equinox. The climate is cold and dry. This time is more suitable for eating sweet potatoes, because it can warm and nourish the lungs, and also moisten the lungs. In addition, nuts, autumn honey, etc. can also prevent the harm of autumn dryness to the human body, and play the role of moistening and nourishing the lungs, thus contributing to the health care in autumn.

　　In addition, autumn is a season of frequent gastric diseases. Friends suffering from chronic gastritis and gastric ulcer should be extra careful to prevent the recurrence of old diseases.

　　The following points should be paid attention to in the autumn diet of patients with gastric diseases: first, eat less and eat more meals, so that there is often food and gastric acid in the stomach to neutralize, and prevent gastric acid from eroding the gastric mucosa and ulcer surface and aggravating the disease; Second, avoid eating too much food that is harmful to the gastric mucosa, such as fried food, pepper, mustard, strong tea, strong coffee, wine and overheated and sweet food; Third, do not eat before going to bed (especially satiety). Eating at night may cause or aggravate gastric ulcer due to excessive gastric acid secretion.
