? Five points for attention in first frost health care
What should I pay attention to in the first frost?
First, prevent autumn dryness
Drying in autumn is easy to damage body fluid, and it will appear after body fluid is consumed, which is characterized by dry mouth, dry lips, dry nose, dry throat, dry tongue, dry stool, dry skin and even chapped skin. The lung likes moistening but hates dryness, and the function of the lung will inevitably be affected, resulting in a series of autumn dryness symptoms such as dry nasopharynx, hoarseness, dry cough and less phlegm, thirst and constipation.
To prevent autumn dryness, it is necessary to strengthen regulation from the diet. The first is to reduce the intake of spicy substances. Autumn is very dry, the body itself is easy to get angry, so we should reduce the intake of spicy substances. Second, eat as much food as possible, such as pears, sesame seeds, honey, pumpkins and so on. Homemade tremella lotus seed porridge and coix seed porridge can also be drunk often.
When it is dry in autumn, a good way to keep your skin moist is to get up in the morning and go to bed late. Don't rush to dry the water, pat your face to let the remaining water penetrate into your skin, and then carry out moisturizing care. People with particularly dry skin may wish to use a moisturizing mask. In addition, talking constantly every day will also hurt the qi, especially the lung qi and the heart qi, so we should pay attention to "talking less"
Before going to bed every night, you can put a basin of clear water under the radiator in the bedroom to warm the air, avoid dry nose and mouth after getting up in the morning and reduce static electricity. It is understood that if the air is dry, it is best to put some green plants in the house to adjust the temperature and humidity. In addition, it is also recommended to choose some plants that can release oxygen at night, such as chlorophytum. It is not advisable to put too many green plants in the bedroom, just one or two pots. You can often spray water on plant leaves or raise some hydroponic plants.
For older people, especially those who often sit in the office for a long time, you can always put your hands on your shoulders and behind your neck before your throat itches and coughs. It will be better to rub your hands and press them again, which will improve the resistance of the pharynx and have fewer children.
Second, prevent autumn deficiency
As the saying goes, "spring is sleepy and autumn is lacking", and autumn is easy to get tired. Many people have the habit of staying in bed. In fact, long-term sleep can easily lead to cell hypoxia in the body, which often leads to drowsiness and sometimes dizziness and nausea. Therefore, sleep time should be properly controlled at this time, and do not stay for more than 10 hour.
If you want to prevent "autumn lack", you must first ensure adequate sleep. You can sleep about an hour more every day than in summer to help balance yin and yang and the convergence of the human body.
"Autumn deficiency" is related to the acidity of body fluids. Eating more alkaline foods can neutralize the acidic substances produced during muscle fatigue and help. Nutrition experts especially remind that you should eat more alkaline foods containing vitamins, such as tomatoes, eggplant, potatoes, grapes, pears, etc. These foods can help the human body overcome fatigue. In diet, it is best to eat lightly, because greasy food will produce acidic substances in the body and deepen sleepiness.
You can also drink some green tea and coffee when you are working or studying. Green tea can prevent "autumn drought" as well as "autumn lack". It should be noted that people with stomachs are not suitable for drinking coffee.
Third, prevent autumn depression.
In late autumn, the wind and rain are miserable, the plants and trees are dead, and people feel the change of seasons and are prone to anxiety. At the bottom of the human brain, there is a gland called pineal gland, which can secrete melatonin, making people depressed and depressed. After autumn, the pineal gland relatively secretes melatonin, and people's mood is correspondingly low and negative.
The general principle of emotional conditioning is to make the qi converge and the heart calm, so as to adapt to the characteristics of autumn cold and yang convergence. You can listen to more cheerful music and change into some warm clothes to adjust your mood.
People are prone to depression in autumn, so they should go outdoors more. Running and skipping rope is also an exercise. Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to conforming to nature, and pays attention to dynamic and static balance and internal and external balance in guiding breathing. Keep in good health first. Autumn is suitable for going to bed early and getting up early. In winter, it is necessary to go to bed early and get up late.
The most important health secret in autumn is to relieve stress and have a positive attitude. One trick is to record the happy things that happened during the day before going to bed every day, such as "I watered the flowers today" and "I went to see a play". It may seem trivial at that time, but it can help you discover the little beauty in life. Sometimes, when you smile, the pressure will be released naturally. If you encounter a psychological crisis and are unable to extricate yourself, you may wish to seek help from a psychological counseling institution. Help you strengthen your confidence through professionals, and then keep it.
Fourth, prevent colds.
The weather changes in different seasons, and colds and coughs are high. Pay attention to cold and warmth every day, and go out in the morning and evening to avoid catching a cold. Some patients, such as patients with gastrointestinal diseases, hypertension and hypertension, need to keep a good mood and reduce going out appropriately.
"All diseases start from the cold, and the cold starts from the feet", and there is a folk saying that "cold dew does not show the feet". Therefore, we should pay attention to adding clothes at the right time, especially to keep our feet warm. Soaking feet with hot water at night can keep out the cold and avoid catching a cold. When soaking your feet every night, don't let the water pass over your feet. When the water is cold, it can heat the water and make people adapt to the temperature slowly. Don't pour too hot water at one time to avoid cryogenic burns.
The temperature in autumn is changeable, even in the same area, there will be a situation of "four seasons in one day, different days in ten miles". Therefore, we should prepare more autumn clothes, such as clothes, spring and autumn shirts, sweaters, thin sweaters, etc., so as to increase or decrease as appropriate.
Washing hands carefully is the most direct way to catch a cold. Keep indoor air circulation at home. People who catch a cold should rest at home, have more rest and get enough sleep. Wash your hands in public, such as after touching the door handle, bus armrest, computer keyboard, etc. And avoid rubbing your eyes and wiping your nose.
Washing your face with cold water can improve your body's resistance to cold. You can wash your face with cold water in the morning, and after 15 days, it will gradually increase to 1 time every morning. Hold your breath after washing your face and immerse your face in cold water for 5~ 10 seconds. Then dry the water and rub your head and face with your hands until it is hot, 1~2 minutes each time. Wash your face with cold water, even if the outside temperature changes suddenly at ordinary times, your body can adapt, and it is not easy to catch cold and cause various diseases, such as colds, bronchitis and pneumonia.
