​Health preservation methods during the End of Heat season

The Beginning of Autumn season is a period of transition from heat to quantity. The yang energy in the outside world turns from outward to inward, and the yin and yang energy in the human body also changes accordingly. At this time of year, we need to adjust our daily routine and arrange our sleep time reasonably. As the saying goes, early to bed and early to rise will bring you more energy. Of course, in addition to sleep, you should also pay attention to a reasonable diet. Scientific health care can make our body healthier.

The season of Beginning of Autumn indicates that the summer heat is gradually subsiding, but the weather is not really cool yet. This is what people call "autumn tiger, poisonous tiger". The heat at this time is no less than that of summer. Let’s learn about the health preservation methods during the Beginning of Autumn season.

1. Eat less fat and sweet food, and eat light food. Modern medical research has confirmed that overeating of fatty, sweet and greasy foods is one of the important factors causing hypertension, arteriosclerosis, coronary heart disease and diabetes in the elderly. We should pay more attention to preventing such diseases during the Beginning of Autumn. Traditional Chinese medicine advocates a light diet. Health preservation experience from ancient times to the present shows that a light diet is an important reason for longevity.

2. Eat clean food and do not be picky about food. The Beginning of Heat is the time when summer changes to autumn. The heat is still there and food is prone to spoilage. As the saying goes, "Diseases come from the mouth." Eating unclean or rotten food can cause gastrointestinal or intestinal parasitic diseases. You must pay attention to food hygiene. Cook food in moderation and try not to leave any leftovers. Cakes and other items should not be left out for too long to prevent bites from cockroaches and flies. When eating fruits and vegetables raw, be sure to wash them thoroughly. Diet should not be partial to one thing but should be diversified so as to play the role of comprehensive nutrition for the human body.

3. Moderately hot and cold, and appropriate softness and hardness. People have different requirements for the temperature of food. Generally speaking, people with a yang constitution like cold drinks, while people with a yin constitution like hot drinks. The temperature of food can be adjusted appropriately according to personal preference.

The Beginning of Autumn is a good time to maintain health. We need to maintain our health from the following aspects: daily life, clothing, emotions, diet, exercise, etc. We can also practice meridian tapping to maintain health by tapping the Bladder Meridian and Weizhong points with our hands. Paying attention to health preservation allows us to have a healthy body.
