Do you know how to keep fit in autumn and winter?

Do you know how to keep fit in autumn and winter? It gets cold in autumn and winter, and people who are weak are prone to various symptoms. It is the choice of many people to keep fit with diet. Some people can only take supplements for a while, and then realize that they have been in love with fire. Their mouths and tongues are covered with blisters, and they often can't sleep for no reason. Their stomachs are bloated and they have diarrhea all day. Sometimes I don't think about tea and rice, and I don't even have the strength to walk. Is it really "unhappy"?

In fact, this kind of situation is more common in winter tonic, which is called deficiency without tonic in Chinese medicine. Because the body is weak, it can't bear the tonic, resulting in indigestion before food supplement, which affects the digestion and absorption function, resulting in nutritional deficiency, deficiency of qi and blood, and weakness of qi and blood; Deficiency of both qi and blood will damage the absorption and digestion function, so taking tonic will have side effects, and even the more tonic, the more deficiency.

So, how can we avoid the situation of "virtual tonic" in winter? Here is another problem of "making up for it in autumn first". Because the human body consumes a lot in the high temperature in the whole summer, carbonate in sweat is lost, gastric acid secretion is reduced, and the function of digestive system is reduced, so the appetite is poor, and gastrointestinal activity and function will be relatively weak. Therefore, if we ignore the intake of nutrients and do not pay attention to the regulation of gastrointestinal function in autumn, it will be difficult to make supplements in winter.

Tonic supplement in late autumn should be based on flat supplement, supplemented by diet therapy, that is, flat supplement is the main one, supplemented by diet therapy. Such as eating poria cocos, yam, red dates, longan, lily, coix seed, etc. To tonify qi and blood, strengthen spleen and kidney, and strengthen spleen and stomach; Or under the guidance of a doctor, take a proper amount of raw ginseng or ginseng, which is convenient for replenishing qi and blood, promoting fluid production to quench thirst, strengthening spleen and stomach, calming nerves and helping sleep.

Naturally, for some people who are physically weak, they can eat more lean pork, beef and mutton, chicken breast and its pure honey, royal jelly, milk, raw eggs, watercress, jujube and so on. In addition, some common vegetarian meals can also be used in late autumn. This vegetarian diet not only has many characteristics in nutrients, but also is easier to absorb and digest than animal food.

The following ingredients are suitable for autumn tonic: sweet potato, cabbage, sweet potato, lotus root and chestnut.

Deficiency heat generally refers to the disease of excessive internal heat caused by deficiency of kidney yin. Yin deficiency of kidney is different from yin deficiency of five internal organs and loss of essence, blood and body fluid.
