December 12, 2023

     Around October, the morning and evening are cool, and the temperature difference between day and night is large. The weather is hot and humid, which is most likely to cause colds. How should women take care of their health before and after Mid-Autumn Festival?

    1. Dietary care: Prevent dryness, nourish the kidneys and moisturize the lungs

    The climate in autumn is slightly cooler, and the air generally lacks moisture. Dietary care should focus on preventing dryness, nourishing the kidneys, and moisturizing the lungs. In terms of diet, consume a small amount of spicy foods such as peppers, onions, leeks, and garlic, and combine them with sesame, glutinous rice, honey, sugarcane, spinach, white fungus, pear, duck meat, and dairy products. As for the elderly, they can also eat more rice porridge to nourish the stomach and generate fluids.

    2. Physical care: Drink more water and go to bed early and get up early

    The autumn climate is dry, and it is easy to feel dry mouth and tongue and lose skin moisture. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to water replenishment, drink more water, and eat fruits rich in gelatin and moisture. Avoid excessive exercise. Going to bed early and getting up early can reduce the risk of blood clot formation and prevent cardiovascular diseases.

    3. Medicinal care: Nourish body fluids and avoid over-evaporated foods

    Medicinal care focuses on nourishing body fluids. You can take ginseng, sand ginseng, dwarf lilyturf, lily, walnut kernel, almond, fritillaria, and seaweed to nourish qi, nourish yin, invigorate the lung, and transform phlegm. If you are prone to dryness-related illnesses, you can use rehmannia, lily, Tangshen, dwarf lilyturf, and licorice to prevent them.

    In addition to daily lifestyle adjustments, autumn health care also requires cold resistance exercises to enhance the body's ability to adapt to changing weather. Cultivating a positive mood is also very important. Contemplate the joy of a bountiful harvest, or judge the changes of the seasons with the perspective of a philosopher. Maintain inner peace, gather your energy, and prepare for the hidden yang energy.
