Today's cold dew
"Cold dew" is one of the earliest solar terms to mention the word "cold" in the 24 solar terms, and in the north, this solar term indicates that autumn is coming to an end and winter is coming.
"Su Wen Four Tempering Spirits" clearly pointed out: "In autumn and March, go to bed early and get up early, and be happy with chickens." ”
After the cold dew, you should continue to follow the principle of "working at sunrise and resting at sunset", adjust your work and rest time, go to bed early and get up early, so as to adjust the balance of yin and yang, and reconcile the internal organs, qi and blood.
Among them, going to bed early can nourish yin, get up early to breathe fresh air, in order to soothe the lungs, and make the body full of fluid and energy.
Late autumn is the peak incidence of respiratory and gastrointestinal diseases, and in order to prevent these diseases, the first thing to pay attention to is to dress and keep warm.
You may wish to learn a dressing mantra for autumn and winter: the inner paste is loose and the outer is closed - the underwear is close-fitting, the middle layer is loose, and the jacket is windproof.
Underwear is best soft and snug to help increase heat retention. The middle layer of clothing should be highly hygroscopic, not too tight, and keep it dry.
The jacket must be windproof, and it is best to have a cuff design at the neckline, cuffs, waist, and ankles to prevent cold air from taking advantage of the weakness.
In addition, as the weather gradually gets colder in late autumn, everyone should especially keep their lower limbs warm.
As the saying goes, "the feet are cold and the whole body is cold", and if the feet are frozen, the body's resistance will decrease.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the feet are the place where the three yin meridians and the three yang meridians pass through, and if the feet are cold, the cold evil will invade the human body through the meridians, which will affect the functions of the spleen, stomach, liver, gallbladder, kidneys and bladder.
Therefore, when going out during the cold season, you should wear warm shoes, socks and pants to avoid cold feet.
When the dry and evil qi invades the human body, it is mainly used to consume the fluid of the wound, and the fluid is consumed, then there will be a group of dry symptoms, which are prone to appear such as dry tongue and throat, cough with less phlegm, dry skin, chapped lips and other autumn dry symptoms.
At this time, it is advisable to eat more products that nourish yin and moisturize the lungs, such as soft foods such as sesame, honey, white fungus, and green vegetables, as well as fruits that are rich in water and nourish the lungs such as raw pears, grapes, and bananas.
In addition, you should also eat less greasy, thick and spicy things, such as chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, cinnamon, wine, etc.
Because the corresponding viscera in autumn is the "lungs", we should also pay attention to "preventing lung dryness and protecting yin and jin", and it is better to drink warm water.
If there is a need for autumn supplementation, it should be carried out in accordance with the principle of syndrome differentiation and tonic to carry out yin and yang balance tonic to regulate the imbalance of visceral function in summer.
You can choose the right tonic according to your physical condition, such as astragalus, ginseng, sand ginseng, wolfberry, Polygonum multiflori, etc.
After the cold dew solar term, the exercise should also be adjusted, you can choose jogging, mountaineering, walking and other forms, but the exercise time should not be too early, because the temperature is too low in the morning, and the weak physical fitness is easy to feel the cold.
At the same time, no matter what kind of exercise, should not be excessive, in the whole body is slightly hot, not yet sweating or slightly sweating, you can stop, should avoid sweating, in order to keep the yin fluid introverted, do not make the yang energy consumed, otherwise it will hurt the yin and damage the yang.
If you encounter rainy weather, you can choose to exercise indoors, and do not wade in the rain to avoid feeling cold and wet.
In autumn, everything is depressed and the sunshine hours are shortened, which often adds a bit of sadness to people, in order to avoid low mood and depression.
Remind everyone to get up after getting up, you can go outdoors more, bask in the sun, maintain an optimistic and positive attitude, dispel the haze in your heart, express your depression and uncomfortable emotions, or do some physical exercises, such as walking after meals, tai chi, etc.
If conditions permit, it is best to soak your feet in hot water before traveling in the cold season.
Hot water foot soaking can not only prevent respiratory tract infectious diseases, but also dilate blood vessels, speed up blood flow, improve the nutrition of foot skin and tissues, reduce the occurrence of lower limb soreness, and make people energetic.
With the aggravation of the cold in late autumn, many people have even developed a bad habit of holding urine to fall asleep in order to reduce the number of times they get up at night, which is very unhealthy.
Holding urine in hypertensive patients will excite the sympathetic nerves, and in severe cases, it will cause cerebral hemorrhage or myocardial infarction.
Even for healthy people, holding urine is harmful to the body, and can even cause urinary tract infections, bladder damage, prostatitis and other diseases.
If you are not used to getting up in the middle of the night to urinate in the bathroom, you may wish to put a "night pot" in the bedroom to urinate in time to protect your health.
