What does the agricultural proverb "When you are in the rain, go out and see the autumn chill" mean? How to maintain health in cold autumn?

The agricultural proverb "crouching in the rain, you will see the autumn chill as soon as you come out" means "if it rains on the end day, the temperature will drop rapidly after crouching for the first time". So, although the weather is hot now, maybe it won't be long before you can feel what "an autumn rain and a cold" means. However, the saying that "when you go out, you will see the autumn chill" does not apply to all regions, especially now that the global temperature is rising and extreme weather is frequent, and the high temperature weather may continue for some time. However, the weather in each area is different. It won't rain on the day when the Mid-Autumn Festival ends. If it rains, it will be cold autumn, and the temperature will drop soon. It is necessary to prepare for cold prevention and cooling in time, and be careful of catching a cold. In particular, the temperature difference between north and south is large and the humidity is high. Without relevant protective measures, it is easy to catch a series of diseases, such as respiratory diseases; Arthralgia and rheumatism; Myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction and so on. It is better for your health to do a good job in autumn. Eat less spicy food and moisten the lungs more; Eat less cold food and drink more soup and porridge; Early to bed and early to rise.

Autumn is the most invisible injury, remember not to catch cold on your head, abdomen and feet. In autumn, if you watch carefully, you will find that cicadas sing less and less, some leaves turn yellow and the river is a little cold. Because of the difference between the north and the south, some areas enter autumn early and some areas enter autumn late, but the autumn colors will become stronger and stronger after September. The south is fine. I was lucky enough to spend a winter in the north. In mid-September, the south is still sunny, the temperature is suitable, the weather is mild, and the leaves begin to change color. But in the north, although it is sunny, the temperature is different from the heat emitted by the sun in the sky. The rustling north wind, the sun without temperature and the early yellow leaves all show its uniqueness.

Ahem, this is beside the point.

So, how to keep in good health in the cold autumn?

The author summarizes the following points:

First, eat less spicy, moisten the lungs, pay attention to eat less spicy food such as pepper and ginger, and eat less barbecue, which is not good for moistening the lungs. You can eat more lotus root, water chestnut, lily, tremella, and foods that nourish yin and moisten dryness, promote fluid production to quench thirst, moisten lungs and relieve cough.

Second, eat less cold food and drink more soup and porridge. Professor Ma Yongli from the First Affiliated Hospital of Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine pointed out that Chinese medicine advocates drinking nutrition porridge every morning in autumn. After the autumnal equinox, the spleen and stomach are weak and the resistance decreases. At this time, eating some warm food, especially some hot medicated diet, is naturally beneficial. For example, lily pumpkin porridge, yam wolfberry porridge, tremella soup and so on. Keeping in good health in autumn is suitable for eating fresh fruits and vegetables, especially sour ones, such as pineapple, yogurt, prunes, etc., which is helpful for quenching thirst and nourishing lung yin, while eating less hot and easy-to-get-angry foods, such as pickles and fried chicken.

Third, comply with the solar terms, go to bed early and get up early. Traditional Chinese medicine advocates conforming to natural solar terms to adapt to the characteristics of gathering solar terms in autumn. Going to bed early can be in line with collecting yin essence and nourishing "qi", and getting up early can be in line with relaxing yang qi, so that lung qi can be stretched. Generally speaking, it is more appropriate to go to sleep before 1 1 at night and get up around 6: 00 in the morning. It should be noted that when getting up, try not to be too violent, but lie in bed and move your limbs and head for 5 minutes.

Fourth, don't be sad. Affected by mild air and weak light, people's mood will also change, such as sadness for autumn, sadness for autumn and so on. Therefore, autumn health care should pay attention not to be overjoyed, but to adapt to the convergence of seasons. The best way is to climb the mountain, climb high and look far, and let your mood rest. So smile more in autumn and keep a good mood.

Five or three parts can't be "frozen in autumn", and people with frostbite in autumn are the most invisible. Wang Xuemei, deputy chief physician of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Henan Provincial People's Hospital, reminded that although there is a saying that "spring covers and autumn freezes", there are three parts of the body that cannot be "frozen in autumn": head, abdomen and feet.

All the above points are important, and one thing to remember is vaccination. People in need should be vaccinated in time, which can reduce the risk of serious complications, especially children. School will start in September soon, and a person's illness will often infect a class. Parents should take precautions in advance.
