After surviving the dog days, ready to let loose? Many people get the first thing wrong after the heat ends<\/h2><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

The dog days are officially over! Many people relax their guard right after enduring 40 days of heat, continuing to run the air conditioner all night, indulging in cold drinks, or even rushing to ‘stick autumn fat’ with rich foods.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s important to note that the 1-2 weeks after the dog days end are a ‘window period’ for the body’s immunity. The residual heat accumulated during the dog days hasn’t fully dissipated, and with the growing temperature difference between day and night, a moment of carelessness can invite autumn dryness or diarrhea.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n

Is ‘sticking autumn fat’ really necessary?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

How to do it?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n

\n

In the past, people practiced ‘sticking autumn fat’ because their appetites were poor in summer, while physical exertion was high, and they needed to supplement protein and fat to prepare for winter. However, modern people are prone to overnutrition and lack of exercise. With constant air conditioning and cold drinks in summer, the spleen and stomach are already weak, so it is not advisable to blindly follow the trend of ‘sticking autumn fat’; it should vary from person to person.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you need to ‘stick autumn fat’, the focus should be on gentle supplementation with quality as the priority. Prefer white meat, such as duck, fish, and shrimp, which nourish yin and moisten dryness with low fat content, avoiding excessive greasiness; next, choose lean meat, such as beef and pork tenderloin.<\/p>\n

The key to autumn dietary supplementation is to moisten the lungs, prevent dryness, and aid digestion.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    It is advisable to increase foods like lily, white fungus, lotus root, Chinese yam, and pear to moisten the lungs and prevent dryness, as well as crucian carp, sea bass, and tofu to gently nourish qi and blood;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Appropriately supplement with hawthorn, dark plum, grapes, apples, and lemons to astringe and promote fluid production, stimulate appetite, and aid digestion;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Eat less ginger, chili, leeks, lamb, and greasy heavy foods to avoid harming the spleen and aggravating dryness.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Cooking methods such as stewing, steaming, and boiling are best; avoid grilling and deep-frying.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Those with phlegm-dampness or spleen deficiency should first remove dampness and strengthen the spleen, and should not rush to take tonics.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n

    After the end of the dog days, the natural environment begins to become bleak and dry, and people’s moods are easily affected, leading to negative emotions such as irritability and depression. Pay attention to calming the mind and avoiding drastic mood swings. You can exercise, but the amount of exercise should not be too large. Especially for middle-aged and elderly people, you can choose gentle and relaxing exercises that cause less sweating, such as Tai Chi, walking, and Baduanjin, to dispel negative emotions such as melancholy and sadness.<\/p>\n

    After the dog days, the climate gradually becomes dry, and it is recommended to drink more water at this time. The correct way to hydrate is ‘small amounts frequently, warm water first, drink proactively, and drink a measured amount.’<\/p>\n

    In addition, for autumn hydration, besides drinking more warm water, you can also choose these 3 health-preserving drinks: pear water, which can clear heat, moisten the lungs, promote fluid production, and quench thirst; white radish water, which can clear heat, promote qi flow, resolve phlegm, and help relieve throat discomfort; lemon water, which can astringe lung qi, moisten dryness, and relieve coughs.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

    During this period after the end of the dog days, the temperature difference between day and night increases. Pay attention to keeping warm in the morning and evening, and adjust clothing according to temperature changes. It is recommended not to take a cold shower immediately after sweating heavily. If it is not very hot at night, it is also recommended not to use air conditioning while sleeping.<\/p>\n

    After the end of the dog days, many people easily feel tired and weak, but this is a normal phenomenon during the change of seasons, so there is no need to worry too much. To alleviate ‘autumn fatigue’, adequate sleep is especially important. Compared to summer, you can add one hour of sleep, or increase sleep through napping. In addition, also pay attention to going to bed early and waking up early, and avoid staying up late.<\/p>\n

    Autumn wellness: special groups need to pay attention.<\/p>\n

    With large temperature differences between day and night in autumn, seniors should postpone morning exercise until after sunrise to avoid blood pressure fluctuations and cardiovascular or cerebrovascular events triggered by the low morning temperatures. Pay attention to keeping joints warm to prevent cold and dampness.<\/p>\n

    Among chronic disease patients, those with hypertension or cardiovascular and cerebrovascular conditions should monitor blood pressure frequently, avoid morning cold, and refrain from strenuous activity; patients with respiratory diseases need to guard against autumn dryness damaging the lungs and maintain indoor humidity; diabetic patients may experience increased appetite in autumn and must strictly control their diet to keep blood sugar stable; stomach disease patients should avoid raw, cold, and greasy foods to prevent recurrence of old ailments.<\/p>\n

    Children have weak lungs and spleen, so their belly and back need protection to prevent colds and diarrhea. Avoid excessive consumption of raw and cold fruits. ‘Autumn chilling’ should also be moderate, and during outdoor activities, care should be taken to avoid wind exposure after heavy sweating.<\/p>\n
