The first frost solar term refers to the cold weather, starting from first frost, which is the last solar term in autumn and the transitional period in autumn and winter. According to experts' calculation, the exact time of the first frost this year is1October 23rd 14: 43, which is more than an hour earlier than the time when I wrote this blog post. With the arrival of the first frost solar terms, cold air activities in northern China are frequent, windy weather will continue to come, and the temperature will drop rapidly. The moisture on the ground will condense into frost in the morning.

In this solar term, it is easy to suffer from respiratory diseases, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, diarrhea and other digestive tract diseases, and it is also the peak period of recurrence of chronic gastritis and gastroduodenal ulcer. The elderly are also very prone to "old cold legs", and chronic bronchitis is also prone to recurrence or aggravation. Everyone should pay attention to adding clothes to keep warm and prevent colds. After the first frost solar term, Chinese medicine experts reminded female friends to pay special attention to keep their feet warm, put on boots and don't wear boat shoes.

After the first frost, it is usually a good time to make up. There is a saying that "mending the first frost is better than mending the winter". Mainly to keep warm and moisten the spleen and nourish the stomach. You should eat more pears, apples, ginkgo, onions and mustard seeds. Eat less cold and hard food, avoid strong stimulation and overeating, and pay attention to keeping your stomach warm. "There are flowers in spring and fruits in autumn". Sweet potato, sweet potato, yam, lotus root and water chestnut are all foods suitable for this season. In addition, you can eat more food such as lily, honey, jujube, sesame and walnut, which is also very healthy.

During the first frost solar term, the green leaves will turn yellow, red and purple, and finally in autumn, the trees will turn from dense to bare, and people's mood will become melancholy.

Therefore, at this time, mental conditioning can not be ignored. The best way to recuperate is to get enough sleep, go to bed early and get up early, and get up early for health preservation, which can make people wake up early and be full of energy, thus avoiding the occurrence of autumn deficiency. On weekends, you can climb mountains outdoors and overlook them, which helps to keep optimistic and calm.

But after all, it is already late autumn, and the amount of exercise and fitness activities at this stage should not be too large and it is not easy to be violent. Slight sweating is appropriate.
