After the hot summer, people often expect to reward themselves in the cool autumn. Wait a minute! At this time, you must not eat a lot of pigs, cows, sheep, chickens or other indigestible supplements at will, because this will inevitably increase the burden on the spleen and stomach and cause gastrointestinal dysfunction. What's more, eating too many nutrients suddenly is not easy to be absorbed and used, and even causes diseases.
Autumn is still the season when a large number of melons and fruits are ripe and listed, and the elderly should also choose and taste them in moderation to prevent "autumn melons from ruining their stomachs". For example, grapes can prevent fatigue, have the effects of invigorating qi and blood, invigorating stomach and diuresis, but overeating is because it is warm and dry; Another example is bananas, which have the functions of relieving cough, moistening intestines and lowering blood pressure, but are easy to hurt the spleen and stomach due to cold nature; Others, such as apples, pineapples, pears and persimmons, should not be eaten excessively. As the saying goes: "Although it is hot, don't be greedy for cold;" Melons and fruits are delicious, don't eat too much. "This is really a talk about health care.
People should choose drugs and foods that are easy to digest and absorb and contain nourishing nutrition, such as sesame, honey, dairy products, glutinous rice and vegetables. It is suggested that middle-aged and elderly people eat more soft porridge, such as lily lotus seed porridge, tremella rock sugar porridge, black sesame porridge, raw porridge and so on. Tremella rock sugar porridge: take dried tremella 10g, soak and wash, cook with appropriate amount of japonica rice, and add appropriate amount of rock sugar, which has the effect of moistening lung and dryness.
In addition, elderly people with weak spleen and stomach should avoid eating cold and sticky food, mainly warm cooked food to prevent "autumn diarrhea". In summer, people with stomach deficiency and cold due to eating more cold fruits and vegetables can take appropriate amount of dried ginger, cinnamon and other drugs to "warm their stomachs" in autumn.
It is easy to dry in autumn, warm and dry in early autumn, and wet and dry in late autumn (also called cool drying). The lungs dominate the autumn season, and dryness is the easiest to hurt the lungs, so the number of people with dry cough will increase. To treat lung dryness, besides looking for a doctor to choose medicine, you can also use diet therapy and drink plenty of water at ordinary times. The main symptoms of warm dry cough are dry nose, dry throat, less phlegm, headache, thirst, fever, less sweating or coughing up blood and phlegm. 1 pear, 3g of Fritillaria powder and 9g of rock sugar can be taken. First, remove the core from the pear, add Fritillaria cirrhosa powder and crystal sugar to the pear, and steam it in water. Every day 1 time for 2 ~ 3 days. Dry and wet cough is mostly caused by cold pathogen when the climate is getting colder in late autumn, which is manifested as cough with thin phlegm, dry throat and dry lips, stuffy nose without sweat, chills, headache or low fever. You can choose raw pear 1 piece (core removed), add 9 grams of crystal sugar, put 8 clean ephedra (about 1 inch) into the pear core, and steam it in water for one day.
