What to eat in the cold season?

What is good for cold dew health? According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, each of the 24 solar terms has a different health care focus. The date of 65438+10.8 is cold dew, which is the beginning of alternating hot and cold seasons. What should we pay attention to during this period, and what food should we eat selectively to maintain ourselves?

Since the "cold dew" season, there has been less and less rain, dry weather, hot days and cool nights. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the biggest feature of the southern climate is the "dry" season, which is the most likely to hurt the lungs and stomach. During this period, people's sweat evaporates quickly, so there are often dry skin, increased wrinkles, dry mouth and throat, dry cough and less phlegm, and even hair loss and constipation. Therefore, the focus of health care is to nourish yin and prevent dryness, moisten the lungs and benefit the stomach. At the same time, we should avoid the loss of essence and body fluid caused by strenuous exercise and overwork.

In the diet, we should also eat less spicy, spicy, dry, smoked, roasted and other foods, and should eat more foods such as sesame, walnut, tremella, radish, tomato, lotus root, milk, lily, and adenophora with the functions of nourishing yin and moistening dryness, benefiting stomach and promoting fluid production. At the same time, keep a certain humidity indoors, pay attention to replenish water, and eat more fruits such as Sydney, bananas, cantaloupes, apples, persimmons and raisins. In addition, you should also pay attention to applying skin cream to protect the skin and prevent chapping.

This solar term is most likely to induce diseases of respiratory system and digestive system. The climate at this time is actually the alternation of hot summer and autumn and cool and dry autumn, and it is most prone to seasonal colds and fever. These seasonal common diseases should be fully guarded and vigilant.
