What season should I eat those things?

In autumn, the weather is getting colder and colder. With the autumn wind, the rain decreases, the temperature drops and the climate becomes dry. Some "autumn dryness" reactions will occur in the human body, and autumn dryness is easy to hurt body fluids. Therefore, the autumn diet is mainly based on moistening dryness and nourishing yin. In addition, the temperature in autumn turns from hot to cold, the consumption of human body gradually decreases, and the appetite begins to increase. Therefore, the elderly can scientifically absorb nutrition and adjust their diet according to the characteristics of autumn season to supplement the consumption in summer and prepare for winter.

First, the diet structure.

The climate in autumn is dry, and when it is dry, it consumes body fluid. You should eat more nutritious foods, such as sesame, walnut, glutinous rice, honey, dairy products, pears, sugar cane and so on. The elderly can also eat more rice porridge to benefit the stomach and produce fluid. And try to eat less spicy products such as onions, ginger, garlic and leeks to prevent the consumption of yin, blood and body fluids from aggravating the feeling of dry mouth. When all kinds of fruits and vegetables are harvested in autumn, eating more fruits is of great benefit to the body and can also prevent the occurrence of "autumn dryness". However, the climate is getting colder in autumn, so it is not advisable to eat more fruits and vegetables to avoid damaging the spleen and stomach yang. Fish, meat and eggs are also abundant in autumn, and people's choice of food has expanded. At this time, we should pay attention to the balance of diet, the collocation of staple food and non-staple food, and the collocation of meat and vegetables, which conforms to the principle of "nourishing Yang in autumn and winter".

Second, food.

Tremella, sugarcane, pear, honey, lotus root, black-bone chicken, soybean milk, etc. Has the effects of nourishing yin and moistening dryness; Autumn diet should be "less spicy and more sour", that is, eat less spicy and irritating foods and eat more sour fruits and vegetables, such as apples, pomegranates, grapes, mangoes, grapefruit, lemons, hawthorn and other fruits; Drinks should be soybean milk and milk, and it is best to eat more porridge, strengthen the spleen and stomach, and promote fluid production. Protein food: such as fish, beef, chicken, soft-shelled turtle, eggs, duck eggs and bean products.

Third, choose food properly.

The diet of the elderly in autumn should be flat and clear, and choosing some nutritious and digestible foods, such as red dates, yams and lotus seeds, will help to strengthen the body's physique and promote the rehabilitation of chronic diseases. For the elderly with chronic bronchitis, it is advisable to eat more pears or radishes, tremella, lilies and other foods that have the effect of clearing away lung heat and resolving phlegm, and eat less spicy and irritating things to avoid respiratory irritation. In autumn, you can also drink a cup of honey tea every day, which is helpful to moisten the lungs and relieve cough and achieve the purpose of disease prevention in autumn. In short, autumn is a good season for the elderly to nourish and eat, and it is also a good season for healthy people to make up. People can maintain health and longevity through food supplements, and achieve the purpose of delaying aging.

In autumn, it's good for everyone to make up for it.

When the season enters autumn, drink more honey and eat less ginger. What is the reason?

Because the main climate feature of autumn is dryness, the air lacks moisture, and the human body also lacks moisture. In order to adapt to the characteristics of dry autumn, then our human body must always "rehydrate" itself to reduce the harm of dry climate to our human body. Drinking more water has become a necessary means for us to deal with "autumn dryness". However, if you only drink boiled water, you can't completely resist the negative effects brought by autumn dryness. After water enters the human body, it will soon be evaporated or excreted. Therefore, the ancient doctors in China provided us with the best diet prescription to deal with autumn dryness: "salt water in the morning and honey soup at night." In other words, drinking boiled water is easy to lose water. If you add a little salt to boiling water, the situation will be very different and it will not be so easy to lose. This method is the same as supplementing patients with normal saline in our modern medicine. Drinking salt water during the day and honey water at night is not only a good way to replenish human body's water, but also a good diet for keeping fit and resisting aging in autumn. At the same time, it can prevent constipation caused by autumn dryness, which really kills two birds with one stone.

Honey is a precious gift from nature. It is rich in nutrition. The main components are glucose and fructose, with a content of 70%. In addition, it also contains protein, amino acids, vitamin A, vitamin C and vitamin D, etc. Honey has the functions of strengthening physique, improving intelligence, increasing hemoglobin and improving myocardium, and can prolong life if taken for a long time. Compendium of Materia Medica records: "Honey has five pillars of Islam: clearing away heat, tonifying middle warmer, detoxifying, moistening dryness and relieving pain." Modern medicine has also proved that honey is effective for neurasthenia, hypertension, coronary arteriosclerosis and lung disease. Taking honey regularly in autumn is not only beneficial to the recovery of these diseases, but also can prevent the injury of autumn dryness to the human body and play the role of moistening and nourishing the lungs. Only in this way can people live a long and healthy life.

In the dry season of autumn, on the one hand, you should drink more salt water and honey water, on the other hand, you should not eat or eat less spicy barbecue and other foods, including pepper, pepper, cinnamon, ginger, onion, wine, etc., especially ginger. These foods are hot and lose a lot of water during cooking, so they are easy to get angry after eating, which aggravates the harm of autumn dryness to our human body. Of course, a small amount of onion, ginger and pepper as seasoning is not a big problem, but don't eat it often, eat more. For example, ginger contains volatile oil, which can accelerate blood circulation; At the same time, it contains gingerol, which has the functions of stimulating gastric juice secretion, exciting intestines and promoting digestion; Ginger also contains gingerol, which can reduce the occurrence of gallstones. Therefore, there are advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, people have left a saying that "go to bed to eat radishes and get out of bed to eat ginger", which shows that ginger can be eaten, but not much. Especially in autumn, it is best not to eat it, because the climate in autumn is dry and dry, which hurts the lungs. In addition, eating spicy ginger is more likely to hurt the lungs and aggravate the dehydration and dryness of the human body. In ancient medical books, there is also such a "warning": "Don't eat ginger in autumn within one year; One day, I don't eat ginger at night. "It seems reasonable not to eat or eat less spicy food such as ginger in autumn, which has long attracted the attention of the ancients.

Therefore, in order to protect our health from autumn dryness, when autumn comes, we'd better "drink light salt water in the morning, honey water at night, and refuse to eat ginger" in order to spend the "eventful autumn" safely and protect our health!
