You should know the "three rejections" for autumn health care

The weather is cool in autumn, and people's diet, sleep and spirit are all better. At this time, "autumn fatigue, autumn dryness, and autumn fatness" are also coming to us. If we don't take proper care of ourselves, we will add many new troubles.

Reject autumn fatigue

We bid farewell to the hot summer and ushered in the clear and refreshing autumn. People feel much more comfortable than in the summer. However, some people will feel sleepy and tired, this phenomenon is called autumn fatigue. Autumn fatigue is a protective response to compensate for the body's excessive consumption in summer. Although autumn fatigue will naturally disappear after a period of adjustment and adaptation, in order not to affect work and life, it is best to take corresponding preventive measures.

First of all, you need to do proper physical exercise. Walking, mountain climbing, etc. are all good choices, but the intensity should not be too high at the beginning. You should gradually increase the amount of exercise. If you exercise excessively, it will increase your body's fatigue, which is not conducive to your body's recovery. Second, get as much sleep as possible. Third, you should adjust your diet. It should be light and avoid greasy food. Eat more foods rich in vitamins, such as carrots, lotus roots, pears, honey, sesame seeds, fungus, etc. Eat more foods containing potassium. Fourth, eat more caffeinated foods.

Reject autumn dryness

The dry climate in autumn often makes people feel dry mouth, nose and throat and develop dry cough. Because the lungs and large intestine are exterior and interior to each other, dry and hard stools may also occur in autumn. In addition, autumn dryness can also cause dry lips, cracked skin and hair loss. To prevent autumn dryness, you should first pay attention to replenishing water. It is best to drink 3 to 4 cups of boiled water every day.

The basic principle of autumn diet should be to nourish yin and moisten the lungs, prevent dryness and protect yin. You can eat more pears, apples, grapes, bananas, radishes and green leafy vegetables to help produce body fluids and prevent dryness, and eat less spicy and dry foods such as peppers, onions, ginger and garlic. Middle-aged and elderly people should not bathe too frequently in autumn. It is appropriate to bathe 1 to 2 times a week, each time not exceeding half an hour, and the water temperature should be around 25℃. It is not advisable to take a bath with alkaline soap. You should choose soap with less irritation. In autumn, you should smile often. Laughing often can not only maintain the lung qi, but also drive away depression, eliminate fatigue, relieve chest tightness, and restore physical strength.

Avoid autumn fat

The weather is hot in summer, energy consumption is high, and people generally have poor appetite, resulting in insufficient heat supply in the body. In autumn, when the weather turns cooler, we may unknowingly overeat, which greatly increases our calorie intake. Coupled with the pleasant climate, people can get enough sleep and sweat less. In addition, in order to prepare for the arrival of the cold winter, the human body will actively store fat to keep warm, so the body absorbs more calories than it dissipates.

If people are not careful in the autumn, they will gain weight, which is even more of a threat to those who are already obese. Therefore, obese people should pay more attention to losing weight in the autumn. First of all, you should pay attention to the adjustment of diet and eat more low-calorie weight-loss foods, such as red beans, radish, coix seed, kelp, mushrooms and so on. Secondly, in the autumn, you should also pay attention to increasing calorie consumption and increase activities in a planned manner. The weather is clear and cool in autumn, which is a great time to travel. You can enjoy the mountains and rivers to make yourself feel relaxed, and you can also increase your activity level to achieve the goal of losing weight.
