After the beginning of autumn, the lungs are re-nourished, and the seven laws of the lungs are learned
In traditional Chinese medicine, there is a saying that "often laughs and declares lungs".
For the respiratory system, laughter can expand the lungs, and while laughing, people will unconsciously take deep breaths to clear the airway and make breathing smooth.
When a person laughs, they can absorb more oxygen into the body, and as the smooth flow of blood throughout the body, every cell in the body can get enough oxygen.
Moderate deep breathing movements can help clear the lungs. Introducing two relatively simple and effective breathing methods
Abdominal breathing: Stretch your arms out, expand your chest as much as you can, and then use your abdomen to breathe, the purpose of this breathing is to increase lung volume.
Pursed lip breathing: Quickly inhale a full breath and slowly "blow" it out like a whistle when exhaling, the purpose is to let the air stay in the lungs for a longer time, so that the lungs can exchange gas more fully, which can be often done by bronchitis patients.
It is best to practice one set of the above breathing techniques every morning and evening, and the number of times in each group can be done according to your ability.
Press the Yingxiang acupoint, rub the outside of the thumbs of the two hands against each other, and after feeling hot, use the outside of the thumb to massage up and down along the bridge of the nose and both sides of the nose for about 60 times, and then massage the Yingxiang acupoints on both sides of the nose 20 times, doing one to two sets in the morning and evening every day.
Knock on the lungs and Yu acupoints, sit on the chair before going to bed every night, naturally separate the knees, put your hands on the thighs, close your head and eyes, relax your whole body, and keep the dantian. Inhale into the chest, clench your hands into a hollow fist, and gently tap the lung Yu acupoint on your back (under the spinous process of the third thoracic vertebra on the back, two finger widths on the left and right sides) dozens of times, and at the same time raise your hands and tap gently from the bottom to the top of the back on both sides with your palms for about 10 minutes.
This method can relax the qi in the chest and have the effect of strengthening the lungs and nourishing the lungs.
Air pollution is a problem that none of us can avoid.
After the human body inhales a large amount of pollutants in the air, it can cause inflammation of the bronchi and alveoli, and even induce cancer.
Therefore, in autumn, we should pay attention to opening windows frequently for ventilation, and choose a place with fresh air every morning and evening to actively cough to remove pollutants from the respiratory tract and lungs and reduce lung damage.
Mountaineering is a good choice for outdoor sports after the beginning of autumn.
Mountaineering can enhance the body's respiratory and blood circulation functions, so that people's lung capacity and heart contractility increase.
In addition, outing and mountaineering after the beginning of autumn can make people absorb more negative oxygen ions in the air, which has a good nutritional and regulating effect on the human nervous system.
However, people with osteoarthritis are not suitable for this exercise.
Lotus seeds, seeds, fish bladders, honey, etc. have the effect of nourishing yin and moistening the lungs, rock sugar white fungus soup, yellow essence autumn pear soup, pear paste, lily lotus seed soup, yam lotus seed soup, yam yam soup, etc. also have the effect of nourishing yin and moistening the lungs, so you may wish to eat it often.
Autumn is a dry climate, which makes it easy for the human body to lose water.
To make up for these losses, drink at least 500 ml of water a day than in other seasons to maintain the normal moistness of the lungs and respiratory tract.
You can also directly "ingest" water into the respiratory tract by pouring hot water into the cup and inhaling it with your nose at the mouth of the cup, for 10 minutes each time, 2~3 times a day.
