Recently, the weather is getting cold, and many people will start to keep fit. What knowledge does autumn health care have?

1. Nourish yin and pay attention to drink plenty of water.

In dry autumn and winter, more than 600 ml of water evaporates through the skin every day, so it is very important to replenish water. An adult should drink at least 1500 ml of water every day and 2000 ml in autumn to ensure the lubrication of the lungs and respiratory tract.

Dress warmly

Some people are careless and don't add clothes in time when the weather is cold; Some people wear less clothes for beauty and don't button their coats. When the weather is cold and windy in the morning and evening, the abdomen is easy to catch cold. Especially for women with weak spleen and stomach, once it is cold, they will have a stomachache and diarrhea. This is a natural reaction of the gastrointestinal tract. The best and easiest way is to wear more clothes, especially around the waist and abdomen. Be serious.

3. Drink salt water in the morning and honey at night.

After autumn, I often feel thirsty. Drinking only boiled water can't resist autumn dryness. The water in the human body will soon evaporate or be excreted, so it should be "drinking salt water in the morning and honey soup at night". Just drink some salt water during the day and honey water at night. This is not only a good way to replenish body water, but also a good way to preserve health and resist aging in autumn. At the same time, it can also prevent constipation caused by autumn dryness, killing two birds with one stone.

4. Pay attention to diet to prevent autumn dryness.

Eat more moist foods, such as sesame seeds, walnuts and glutinous rice. You can also eat more spicy, sweet and sour fruits and vegetables, especially white radish and carrot. Although eating more "sour and sweet" fruits and vegetables is the main way to maintain health in the autumn equinox, it should not be too full or too full to avoid gastrointestinal stagnation. It is worth reminding that after the autumnal equinox, the cold is getting stronger and stronger. If the spleen and stomach are not good, you often have diarrhea, and eating too much fruit is easy to induce or aggravate the condition.

5. Don't take a bath for too long

Don't take a bath for too long in autumn and winter, which will make the oil on the skin lose protection, make the skin drier and itchy, and even lead to wrinkling and dehydration. It is recommended to take a bath for 20 minutes and take a shower for 3-5 minutes. Many people like to take a hot bath, especially some girls with goose skin, and they have the psychology that "hot water can wash off the goose skin". But in fact, too high water temperature will also destroy the oil on the skin surface, expand the capillaries and aggravate dry skin. It is recommended that the bath water temperature be between 24 and 29 degrees.

6. Sleep for an extra hour

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that autumn and winter are yin, autumn harvest is yin, and winter storage is yin. Therefore, in autumn and March, going to bed early and getting up early, and the chickens will prosper together, is the way to raise and collect; In winter in March, go to bed early and get up late, and wait for the sun to come out. This is the way to save. Therefore, in autumn and winter, paying attention to shading and improving sleep quality will get twice the result with half the effort. ? "Go to bed early and get up early in autumn, and go to bed early and get up late in winter" is the main sleep regimen at this time. It is suggested to rest in Shihai every night (9:00- 1 1:00) and try to fall asleep at midnight (11:00). Because purple food is the time when yang is the weakest and yin is the most abundant, sleeping at this time can nourish yin, and the quality of sleep is the best, which can often achieve twice the result with half the effort.
