Solar terms health care

The autumnal equinox solar terms really entered autumn. As a solar term with equal time between day and night, people should also keep their bodies according to the law of balance between Yin and Yang in health care and the principle of "keeping Yin and Yang secret". According to Su Wenzhi's Theory of Truth, "Observe the position of Yin and Yang carefully and wait for a quiet period", and the position of Yin and Yang should not be deviated.

In order to maintain the balance of yin and yang, we must first prevent the invasion of foreign evil qi. The weather is dry in autumn, and the main evil is dryness. There is residual heat before the autumnal equinox, so it is more common in warm and dry; After the autumnal equinox, bursts of autumn wind hit, causing the temperature to drop gradually and the cold to get heavier and heavier, so there was more coolness and dryness. At the same time, the change of dryness, temperature and coolness in autumn is also related to everyone's physique and physical reaction. To prevent cold and dryness, we must persist in exercising, strengthen our physique and improve our disease resistance. Autumn exercise focuses on benefiting the lungs and moistening dryness, such as practicing breathing, chewing teeth, swallowing and moistening dryness. In terms of diet care, you should drink plenty of water and eat warm food, such as sesame, walnut, glutinous rice, honey, dairy products and pears. , can play the role of nourishing yin and moistening the lungs, nourishing yin and promoting fluid production.

At the same time, after the autumnal equinox, the climate is getting colder, which is the season of frequent and recurrent stomach diseases. Gastrointestinal tract is very sensitive to cold stimulation. People with chronic gastritis should pay special attention to keeping their stomachs warm.

In autumn, the sun's yang in nature turns to convergence and seclusion, and the daily routine should be adjusted accordingly. "On Su Wen's Four Spirits" says: "In autumn and March, stay up early and get up early, and have fun with chickens." Lying early conforms to the harvest of yin essence and raises the "closed" qi; Get up early to adapt to the relaxation of yang, so that lung qi can be stretched. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the physiological activities of human body should adapt to the changes of yin and yang in nature. Therefore, in autumn, we should pay special attention to the maintenance of the inner Yin Qi. Life, diet, spirit and sports are inseparable from the principle of "nurturing".

In terms of diet, because autumn belongs to lung gold, sour taste converges and tonifies lung, pungent taste diverges and purges lung, so autumn should be harvested rather than scattered. Try to eat less irritating foods such as onions and ginger, and eat more sour and sweet fruits and vegetables. At the same time, autumn dryness is easy to hurt body fluids, causing dry symptoms such as throat, nose and lips, dry cough, hoarseness, chapped skin and dry stool. Products with sweet and cold taste and moistening dryness should be selected, such as lily, tremella, yam, autumn pear, lotus root, persimmon, sesame and duck meat, so as to moisten the lungs, promote fluid production, nourish yin and clear dryness. Guangdong folk has always been the most nourishing soup in autumn. At this time, it is of great use.

In terms of mental health, we should see that the climate in autumn is getting drier and drier, the sunshine is decreasing, and the temperature is dropping, which makes people feel a little depressed, so there is a saying that "autumn wind and autumn rain are depressing". So at this time, people should keep a calm mind, slow down the influence of cold air in autumn on human body, and converge to adapt to the calm air in autumn. At the same time, we should also see the positive side mentally and emotionally, that is, in the autumn, the sky is crisp, which is a good time to carry out various physical exercises, such as mountaineering, jogging, walking, playing ball, swimming, taking a cold bath, etc. Or practice Wuqinxi, Tai Ji Chuan, Baduanjin and aerobics. While doing "dynamic exercise", you can cooperate with "static exercise", such as six-character formula, meditation, breathing exercise, internal strength and intentional exercise. Moreover, the combination of static and dynamic exercises can strengthen the body and keep it healthy, thus achieving the effect of physical and mental health.
