Traditional Chinese medicine advocates "nourishing the lungs in autumn", but the knowledge of nourishing the lungs is great, and people do not just follow the practice of eating pears to nourish the lungs. People with different physiques need to adjust the method. Huang Boyu, a physician of traditional Chinese medicine, shared the way to maintain health in autumn.

Traditional Chinese medicine says that "the lungs govern qi", and the most important thing to nourish the lungs is to nourish qi, and exercise is the most important way. Huang Boyu pointed out that in autumn, it is necessary to avoid contracting the respiratory tract due to the cold temperature, resulting in poor breathing and proper exercise. Keep the air running smoothly.
Exercise must master two principles, activate cardiopulmonary function, make the heart beat faster to invigorate blood, and accelerate breathing to promote Qi, so as to achieve the goal of smooth flow of Qi and blood. , such as shoulder joints, hip joints, intercostal and abdominal and waist parts, etc., to enlarge the space for visceral activities, and guide qi, blood and body fluid to reach the place where it should go.
Baduanjin, Taijiquan, yoga, and walking are all good exercises.
It is often said that in autumn, you should eat more white food to moisten dryness, but Huang Boyu reminds that food supplements should be determined according to the constitution.
In addition to eating less ice, eat some warm foods to prepare for winter. Cooking can be seasoned with sesame oil, ginger, and pepper, instead of garlic, onion, and pepper.
In
, you can feel the sesame oil, ginger, and pepper, and they will heat up from the abdomen and spread to the surrounding, but garlic, onion, and pepper will start to heat from the mouth, so it is considered thatIt is easier to get angry and dry mouth.
You need cool and moist foods to balance, such as pears, fungus, etc., but the fungus is not easy to absorb, and people with bad stomach and intestines may have flatulence. You can add lotus seeds or red dates to strengthen the spleen and nourish the stomach.

Huang Boyu recommends that regardless of the four seasons or body constitution, the simplest food supplement is "Sishen Tang", lotus seeds invigorate the spleen and invigorate qi, coix seed and tuckahoe remove dampness, yam has moisturizing effect, and can also be added with Gorgon, which also has the effect of taking care of the spleen and kidney. The so-called "deficiency is not replenished", the stomach and intestines should be taken care of in advance in autumn, and the high-calorie glutinous rice food can be absorbed in winter.
"There are not many acupoints, but they are useful and easy to press, so I will press them often." Huang Boyu suggested to press the two major health acupoints "Hegu and Zusanli" frequently, which have the effect of invigorating Qi. The Hegu acupoint at the tiger's mouth of the palm is the junction of the lung meridian and the large intestine meridian.
As autumn gets colder, some parts and acupoints should not be exposed, such as the "Tiantu Point" on the chest and neck, and the "Jianjing Point" on the shoulders. The skin and flesh in the depression are thin, and the airway is inside, which is easy to be affected by wind.

In addition, this season, the big joints should not be exposed as much as possible. In summer, the weather is hot, and shorts and short skirts are often worn to expose the knees, but after the fall, such wearing should be avoided. prone to kneeDeterioration of joint microcirculation.
Beginning in autumn, you should reduce wear and tear, prepare for winter, and gradually extend your sleep time. After the sunrise, the time to wake up is also delayed, so that the body can replenish yang energy. Modern people are limited by time for work and school, and it is difficult to adjust the time to get up.
Huang Boyu emphasized that health care is not divided into four seasons, and it must be done every day in order to keep growing. If you eat it, sometimes "disease comes in from your mouth". If you can't decide how to supplement, you can consult a Chinese doctor.
