Emotional regulation slogan

After beginning of autumn, autumn came quietly, the yang in nature began to converge and settle, the summer heat gradually subsided, the autumn dryness became more and more obvious, and the metabolism of yin and yang in human body also changed, showing a long transition period. The summer humidity has not retreated, and the autumn dryness is getting worse. Faced with the influence of seasonal changes, respiratory diseases are prone to occur in autumn.

Therefore, people should follow the trend and adjust their autumn health care methods in advance. Ye Yan, director of the Department of Pulmonary Diseases, Chinese Medicine Hospital affiliated to Guangzhou Medical University, provides you with the following health advice-

Nourishing yin in autumn and winter

Lung belongs to the golden element in the five elements, and lung function begins to be in a vigorous period in the main autumn and after autumn. The climate in autumn is characterized by dryness, which means that dryness dominates autumn. The lungs are "delicate and dirty", neither cold nor heat resistant. They communicate with the outside world through the nose, and are vulnerable to autumn dryness, which leads to dry mouth and throat, dry cough and less phlegm, dry skin and constipation. In severe cases, there may be a series of symptoms such as blood in cough.

Therefore, after beginning of autumn, we should pay attention to moistening and nourishing the lungs. On the basis of reasonable diet, we can eat some soft foods, such as honey, lily, almond, radix Pseudostellariae, yam and so on. This will benefit the lungs and stomach and health.

Proper pasting

The main purpose of TCM health preservation is to pursue the balance between Yin and Yang. Therefore, in the traditional customs of beginning of autumn, "putting emphasis on autumn" is also a health preservation process to actively realize the convergence, adoption and collection of TCM in autumn. As the saying goes, "after summer, all diseases are weak." Facing the previous "bitter summer", in order to prevent diseases by eating, I thought of the method of "sticking fat with meat".

Ye Yan suggested that we should not be too radical when taking medicated diets that regulate yin and yang. We should give consideration to the qi of long summer and get rid of the pathogenic factors of summer-heat and dampness in the body under the guidance of professional doctors. Moreover, the specific nursing plan varies from person to person, and it is necessary to choose the appropriate method according to the physique of different individuals.

The original intention of "posting autumn fat" is to make the body strong. Some patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and bronchiectasis. Due to the development of disease process and the increase of energy consumption, it is manifested as weight loss and poor nutritional status. Such patients should pay attention to increasing the intake of protein and other nutrients on the basis of reasonable blood sugar control, so as to provide enough energy for the rehabilitation of lung function.

Work, rest and exercise

After autumn, the northern hemisphere began to have shorter days and longer nights, and the temperature difference between day and night gradually increased, while the yang in nature and human body disappeared and the yin became longer. Therefore, in daily life, we can't raise the spirit of the sun as frequently as in spring and summer, let alone make it too strong and dissipated, but should reasonably converge and hide it in autumn and winter. For example, ensure the regularity of work and rest and insist on going to bed early and getting up early. Going to bed early can conform to the convergence of yang, and getting up early can make lung qi stretch better.

Regulating emotion

Emotional diseases are common causes of diseases. In traditional Chinese medicine, the worry about the lung is a negative emotion, which has an important influence on the human body, that is, "sadness leads to the elimination of qi", so there is a general saying that "the lung is mourned".
