Some common sense about health care in autumn and winter

With the arrival of autumn, the weather becomes increasingly drier. Some people with poor physical fitness are prone to diseases such as colds. In addition, people with rhinitis and liver fire are also prone to illness during this period. Therefore, in the autumn and winter seasons, we must do a good job of health preservation and do relevant prevention and health care. For example, you must drink plenty of water, eat less greasy and spicy food, and keep the indoor air temperature and humidity appropriate. Let's take a look.

1. To nourish yin, pay attention to drinking more water

In the dry autumn and winter, more than 600 ml of water evaporates through the skin every day, so hydration is essential. The minimum amount of water an adult should drink every day is 1500 ml, and in autumn, drinking 2000 ml is necessary to ensure the lubrication of the lungs and respiratory tract.

2. Dress warmly

Some people are careless and don't put on more clothes in time when the weather gets cold; some people wear less in order to look beautiful and don't even button their coats. When it is cold and windy in the morning and evening, the abdomen is easily caught in cold. Especially for women with weak spleen and stomach, once the weather gets cold, they will have stomach pain and diarrhea. This is a natural reaction of the gastrointestinal tract. The best and most convenient way is to wear more clothes, especially wrap the waist and abdomen tightly.

3. Drink salt water in the morning and honey in the evening

After the fall, you will often feel thirsty, and drinking only boiled water cannot resist the autumn dryness. The water in the human body will quickly evaporate or be excreted from the body, so you should drink “salt water in the morning and honey soup at night”. Just drink some salt water during the day and some honey water at night. This is not only a good way to replenish the body's water, but also a good dietary recipe for autumn health and anti-aging. It can also prevent constipation caused by autumn dryness, killing three birds with one stone.

4. Pay attention to diet to prevent autumn dryness

Eat more light and warm foods, such as sesame, walnuts, glutinous rice, etc. You can also eat more spicy, sour, sweet or lung-lowering fruits and vegetables, especially white radish and carrots. Although the main way to maintain health during the Autumnal Equinox is to eat more "spicy and sour" fruits and vegetables, you should not eat too much to avoid gastrointestinal stagnation. It is worth reminding that after the autumnal equinox, the cold atmosphere becomes increasingly strong. If you have a bad spleen and stomach and often suffer from diarrhea, eating too much fruit can easily induce or aggravate the disease.

Through the above, we have learned about the health issues in autumn and winter, and targeted work should be done for different physical conditions. For example, the elderly should focus on supplementing food at this time due to their poor physical fitness, increase the body's immunity, pay attention to moderate exercise, and keep the body's microcirculation in a good state. This season is also prone to colds, colds, etc., so be sure to keep warm.
