How to keep fit after Mid-Autumn Festival?

1. Eat less cold food and more wet food.

Mid-Autumn Festival is in autumn. After autumn, the yang in nature gradually converges and the yin gradually increases. The climate gradually changes from summer humidity to autumn dryness, which can be divided into warm dryness and cool dryness.

First of all, we should pay attention to conditioning our physical condition in diet. Mid-Autumn Festival weather is relatively dry, easy to dry mouth, itchy skin. At this time, you can use some white cold medicine or sweet and sour Chinese medicine.

Such as white chrysanthemum, tremella, lotus seeds, reed rhizome, cogongrass rhizome, adenophora root and so on. In late autumn, Chinese medicine calls it cool and dry. You can't drink herbal tea at this time, especially those who have a bad appetite, are afraid of cold and are prone to diarrhea.

According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the lung is the main part in autumn, so we should eat more acidic food and less spicy food. This is because the spicy taste diverges and clears the lungs, and the sour taste converges the lung qi, so it is necessary to collect lung qi in autumn, so pay more attention to eating less irritating foods such as onions and ginger after autumn.

As for the cold diet, we must pay attention to reducing it or not eating it directly. Watermelon, for example, is cold and belongs to a kind of cold food. We shouldn't eat it after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Eating too much after autumn will hurt the spleen and stomach.

In terms of diet, in early autumn, we should eat more spicy and warm food, or eat more moist food, such as sesame, walnut, honey, pear, pomegranate and so on.
