50 years old, how to make up for it in autumn and winter? Remember to do these three things well.

The first frost in 24 solar terms is the last solar term in autumn, which also means the beginning of winter.

The first frost solar term is a high incidence period of digestive tract diseases such as respiratory diseases, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and diarrhea. Middle-aged and elderly friends should pay special attention.

There is a folk saying that "it is better to make up the first frost than the winter", and the autumn is mainly flat. There is a theory of "four seasons and five supplements" in TCM health preservation, that is, spring supplements, summer supplements, long summer supplements, autumn supplements and winter supplements.

In autumn, you should always eat foods that can nourish yin and moisten dryness, such as radish, tremella, sugarcane, pear, sesame, lotus root, spinach, yam and glutinous rice. In addition, you should always eat some sour food to replenish liver qi, such as apples, pomegranates, grapefruit, lemons, hawthorn, tomatoes and so on.

It should be noted that although mutton has a strong nourishing effect, it is a good tonic in winter and not suitable for autumn. Cold foods, such as shrimp, crabs and all kinds of cold drinks, should also be eaten less, so as not to hurt the lungs and stomach and cause diseases.

It is a long-standing health care proverb that "spring covers the autumn, but miscellaneous diseases do not occur". Autumn freezing is deliberately freezing the body in autumn to enhance the ability to keep out the cold. However, autumn freezing is not suitable for everyone. The following types of friends should be cautious:

1. Friends with respiratory diseases and cardiovascular diseases. As mentioned above, the first frost solar term is a high incidence period of respiratory diseases and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. It's important to keep warm at this time. If you insist on freezing in autumn, it will often make your condition worse.

2. If a friend with rheumatism or rheumatoid arthritis catches cold, it will aggravate the symptoms, cause joint pain, or make it inconvenient to walk. Therefore, middle-aged and elderly friends with arthritis should pay attention to keeping their legs warm in autumn.

3. If people with diabetes catch cold, on the one hand, it will cause blood sugar to rise and aggravate diabetes, on the other hand, it will also cause vasoconstriction, further aggravate microcirculation disorder and lead to vascular neuropathy.

In addition, autumn freezing is not only autumn freezing, but also strengthening physical exercise. Can persist in walking, running, playing Tai Ji Chuan and other sports, promote blood circulation, regulate vasomotor function, improve immunity and enhance cold resistance. When the elderly exercise, it is not advisable to bend their knees for a long time to reduce the load on the knee joint as much as possible.

Autumn is dry and evil, which easily makes people upset and irritable. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "all diseases are born of qi", and excessive emotion will damage the essence of viscera and cause dysfunction of the body, which will lead to depression and other diseases.

Therefore, in the first frost season, we should take part in some group activities, such as singing, dancing, climbing mountains, etc., to entertain our bodies and minds. In ancient times, there was a custom of climbing mountains with the first frost. By climbing mountains, you can keep fit, prevent diseases and cure diseases, and cultivate your sentiment.
