There is an ancient proverb: "autumn tonic kills the tiger in winter", which means that autumn is the best time for tonic. If you have a good body in autumn, you will naturally be strong and healthy in winter, and you will not be troubled by colds and the like.
Precautions:
First, keep enough sleep.
It is hot in summer and the temperature changes greatly in autumn. At this time, the body is affected by temperature, and various functions will change greatly. After entering autumn, people are prone to fatigue, drowsiness, colds and coughs. At this time, we must keep enough sleep to resist the invasion of diseases.
Second, proper exercise.
In autumn, the climate is dry and the temperature changes greatly, which makes people cold and dry. Doing more exercise in autumn can enhance physical fitness, improve body immunity and resist the invasion of diseases. It is suggested that middle-aged and elderly people should walk more, ride more bicycles and dance more square dances.
Third, appropriately increase or decrease clothing.
Autumn is different from the heat in summer, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is particularly large. If you are not careful, you will catch a cold, cough and sore throat. Therefore, we must pay attention to increasing or decreasing clothes in autumn, and remember to close the window when sleeping at night to avoid cold invasion and cause a cold.
Fourth, eat more fresh fruits.
Fruits in autumn have high nutritional value. Eating more fresh fruits can moisten the lungs and relieve cough. Vitamin supplementation can also prevent constipation and increase moisture for the skin. In autumn, in addition to eating more fresh fruits, we should also pay attention to taboos and eat less spicy food so as not to damage the intestines.
Extended data:
Many people have misunderstandings about tonic in autumn and winter. Here are five common "misunderstandings" to remind everyone to pay attention to scientific tonic. If there is no disease, it will not be supplemented, and the evidence will not be supplemented. Although autumn and winter are a good time to preserve and maintain the body, tonic without illness will increase the burden on the stomach and impair the function of the stomach, which is counterproductive. People with strong physique don't need tonic, while people with weak physique can take tonic according to symptoms, which plays a role in tonifying deficiency and strengthening the body.
Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the principle of tonic, that is, "if you don't make up, you will pass, and if you make up, you will be insufficient." Patients with non-deficiency syndrome do not need tonic, and deficiency syndrome can be divided into yin deficiency, yang deficiency, qi deficiency, blood deficiency and qi and blood deficiency. Therefore, before tonic, you must identify your physique under the guidance of a doctor and make clear whether it is necessary.
In addition, in order to adapt the stomach to tonic, it is best to introduce tonic first. Generally speaking, you can eat some dietotherapy first, such as brown sugar stewed beef, red dates and peanuts, or cook some ginger and red dates beef soup to adjust the function of the spleen and stomach first. Don't just pick expensive herbs. Tonics are expensive because the output is small, not the more expensive the better, but the right one is the best.
