Autumn equinox season is crisp, you should remember your health knowledge!

I believe everyone has noticed that the recent night has come earlier than before. Today is the autumnal equinox, and the day and night of the year are equally divided. After today, we will officially enter the autumn season. So, what should we pay attention to in the alternate days of this season? If you want to know the specific content, just look at the text!

Autumn is the sixteenth of the twenty-four solar terms.

The autumnal equinox is the midpoint of ninety days in autumn, so it is called autumnal equinox. Just like the vernal equinox, the sun is almost direct to the equator, and the length of day and night is equal again. Astronomy regards autumn as late summer and early autumn.

After autumn, precipitation increased. "One autumn rain is cold, and ten autumn rains are easier to wear cotton." After autumn, winter wheat is sown in North China and rice is sown in South China. From the autumnal equinox, the symptoms of autumn dryness change from warm dryness to cold dryness. Before autumn, the weather is hot, which is called warm and dry; After autumn, the weather gradually gets cold, which is called coolness and dryness. Of course, warm dryness and cool dryness are also related to people's physique. Different from warm dryness, dryness is characterized by mild fever but severe aversion to cold, headache, stuffy nose, anhidrosis, itchy or dry throat, dry mouth and lips, cough, expectoration, thin white and dry tongue coating and so on. In terms of treatment, Chinese medicine often regards "cold dryness" as "typhoid fever", which belongs to cold nature, and is often treated with Guizhi Decoction and classic prescription Baidu Powder. When treating Fang Yaozhong, it is necessary to add some drugs for nourishing yin and moistening lung, such as Radix Adenophorae, Rhizoma Polygonati Odorati, Radix Ophiopogonis, Lily, etc. Prevent pungent drugs from damaging yin.

Balance of yin and yang is the key to diet health in late autumn. In the coming winter, you can eat some warm food to supplement the yang of the human body and prepare for the yang in winter. But don't be too warm and dry, otherwise it will hurt the yin of liver and kidney. The yin of liver and kidney is damaged, and the yang is not hidden, so the common warm foods that become "lonely yang" are jujube, walnut kernel, garlic, ginger, cherry, pomegranate, apricot, chestnut, leek, longan, chicken, sea cucumber, mutton, goose eggs, litchi and so on. Cold foods include watermelon, banana, sugarcane, Pak Lei, water chestnut, water chestnut, loofah, bitter gourd, cucumber, wax gourd, white radish, lotus root, bamboo shoots, purslane, celery, kelp and crab. There are also some foods that are neutral, neither too hot nor too cold, a little neutral. Such as fig, ginkgo, lily, peanut, black sesame, auricularia auricula, day lily, potato, soybean, lentil, Chinese cabbage, taro, kohlrabi, yellow croaker, pig's trotters, goose, quail eggs, honey, milk, etc.

In the season when cold and dryness dominate qi, it is easy to cause gastrointestinal diseases or make old gastrointestinal diseases recur. This is closely related to improper maintenance. To maintain the gastrointestinal tract, we should not only pay attention to keeping the stomach warm, but also adjust our diet. The diet should be warm, soft, light, vegetarian and fresh, and the ration should be regular. Eat less and eat more. Do not eat cold, too hot, too hard, too spicy, too sticky food, avoid overeating, quit smoking and limit alcohol. People with gastrointestinal diseases should pay more attention to food hygiene, meditation and moderate exercise to improve their disease resistance.
