Anti-autumn dryness
Autumn is mainly "dry", so preventing autumn dryness is the top priority of autumn health. To prevent autumn dryness, in addition to drinking more boiled water and weak tea, we should also pay attention to preventing autumn dryness in our diet. The first is to eat more foods that can nourish yin and moisturize dryness, such as honey, pears, lilies, white fungus, radish, soy products, etc. The second is to eat more sour fruits, vegetables and foods, such as grapes, apples, grapefruits, kiwifruit, lemons, hawthorns, etc., to nourish liver qi. Eat less spicy foods such as green onions, ginger, garlic, and peppers. In autumn, the elderly should mainly make up for the flat and try to eat more foods that are flat and sweet, such as corn and pork. Autumn especially advocates eating porridge, drinking porridge can not only reduce the burden of the gastrointestinal tract, but also help digestion, gruel can add some of the above stomach and spleen, moisturizing yin and dryness, can play a role in nourishing the lungs and moisturizing dryness.
In autumn, the climate is dry, the wind is strong, and the sweat evaporates quickly, which is easy to cause people to have symptoms such as dry mouth, dry throat, constipation, chapped skin, and hair loss. Therefore, the elderly should pay attention to maintaining indoor humidity in their daily life, they can wipe the indoor furniture with wet towels, wipe the floor with wet mops, and raise fish and flowers indoors, or use humidifiers. In addition, due to the low sebum secretion of the elderly, reduce the number of baths in autumn appropriately, so as not to remove a layer of oil on the surface of the skin by taking too frequent baths, thereby destroying the water and oil balance of the skin.
Adjust the living room
Autumn regimen should lie down early and get up early. "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing· Su Wen ·Four Tempering Spirits" said: "In autumn and March, go to bed early and get up early, and be happy with chickens." Lie down early to conform to the collection of yin essence to nourish and collect qi; Wake up early to conform to the stretching of yang qi, so that the lung qi can be stretched. Waking up early in autumn can reduce or shorten the chance of thrombosis, which has certain significance for the prevention of cerebral thrombosis.
In addition, the days are still long and the nights are short in autumn, so in addition to improving the quality of sleep at night, it is also necessary to have a proper nap to supplement. Napping not only allows the brain and all systems of the body to rest, but also effectively soothes the cardiovascular system, reduces the tension of the human body, helps people maintain psychological balance, and prevents the occurrence of myocardial infarction. According to surveys, taking a nap of 15 minutes to half an hour a day can reduce the incidence of coronary heart disease by 30%.
There is a degree of movement
If the elderly insist on appropriate physical exercise, traditional Chinese medicine believes that it can not only regulate lung qi and improve the function of lung organs, but also help enhance the immune function of various tissues and organs and the body's ability to resist cold stimuli from the outside world. However, the elderly should also pay attention to the key points of sports and health care, and they should "move" healthily and "move" safely.
First of all, the temperature is low in the early morning of autumn, so you should not wear too thin clothes to go outdoors to prevent cold. Secondly, autumn is a good season for exercise, but the amount of exercise should not be too large, in order to prevent excessive sweating and yang energy depletion, exercise should choose a relaxed and gentle project, not much activity. Thirdly, due to the obvious osteoporosis of the elderly, it is a group with a high incidence of osteoarthropathy, so we should try to avoid long-term strenuous exercise and pay attention to protecting the health of bones and joints, so as not to aggravate joint damage.
Sentimental
The Chung Yeung Festival coincides with the late autumn, when the sunshine decreases, the temperature gradually drops, and the flowers and trees wither, in such an environment, it is easy to feel melancholy, irritable, desolate, and twilight, which is the so-called "sad autumn". Poor mood in the elderly can accelerate the rate of physiological aging, and at the same time, it is also an important cause of many diseases. Therefore, the mental health of the elderly is also a top priority, and children should also talk more to their parents, communicate more, and reduce the loneliness of the elderly. In the golden autumn season, the elderly can make an appointment with three or five friends, climb to appreciate the chrysanthemum, play chess and taste tea, which can achieve the purpose of refreshing and refreshing, and fitness and dispelling diseases.
