Preventing Decline: Drink More Water and Urinate More
In the autumn, as the weather gets colder, the body's yang energy contracts and the yin energy hides within the body. Therefore, autumn health care cannot be separated from the words "nourish and gather". Specifically, in terms of sexual activity, it means "rest and nurture". Clinical data from hospitals shows that besides patients with prostate diseases, there are also patients with sexual dysfunction. The latter generally requires clinical treatment, while the former requires daily health care and prevention.
The chief urologist pointed out that the main cause of prostate disease is that patients do not pay attention to personal hygiene and have poor lifestyle habits, which leads to retrograde infection of the urinary tract. Because the fibrous lipid envelope surrounding the prostate gland outside the prostate is very tough, it is difficult for drugs to penetrate the prostate barrier, resulting in the difficulty of curing prostatitis.
In addition, the dry climate in autumn leads to a decrease in urine output, and the urethra cannot be properly flushed, leading to an increased incidence of diseases. Therefore, people should drink more water and urinate more in autumn. "If there are symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, pain during urination, and difficulty urinating, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible to prevent the inflammation from becoming chronic.
Preventing Obesity: Eat More Coarse Grains
After entering autumn, the weather becomes cool, the air becomes dry, less sweat is excreted, and the sleep time becomes longer. The body is prone to store fat, and if not careful, it will become overweight. Gradually gaining weight is not only unaesthetic, but it can also cause diseases such as hyperlipidemia, which is very dangerous for obese people. Therefore, in terms of diet, you can choose coarse grains with low calories, such as corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, barley, and beans.
Preventing Dryness: Drink Saline Water in the Morning and Honey Water at Night
After entering autumn, the air becomes dry, and the incidence of respiratory diseases such as rhinitis, pharyngitis, bronchitis, asthma, and bronchiectasis increases. In our country, there is a saying that "nourish yang in spring and summer, nourish yin in autumn and winter". In autumn, yin energy is predominant externally but weak internally. If we cannot nourish yin, we may easily develop heat-related illnesses, which we commonly refer to as "getting hot".
There are clever ways to prevent autumn dryness. Experts recommend the health care method of "drinking saline water in the morning and honey water at night": drink a glass of cold saline water on an empty stomach in the morning and a glass of warm honey water before going to bed at night. Water is lost quickly in the body, so even if we drink water continuously, we still feel dry mouth and lips. However, if we mix a pinch of salt in the water and drink it, it can slow down the loss of water.
In addition, honey has the functions of clearing heat, replenishing the center, detoxifying, and moisturizing. Regular consumption has certain preventive and curative effects on lung diseases, hypertension, hemorrhoids, arteriosclerosis, and neurasthenia.
