Today (October 23) is the "frost" of the traditional weather, which means that the weather has become colder and the beginning of frost. Chinese doctors pointed out that during this period, due to the increasing temperature difference between day and night, you may easily catch a cold if you are not careful. You should pay attention to adding clothes. In terms of care, you can choose medicines that nourish the qi and promote blood circulation to maintain health.
How to maintain:
Lin Dafeng, a Chinese medical practitioner from Taipei City, pointed out that according to traditional Chinese medicine, it is believed that autumn is the gold of the five elements and it means to kill. It is said that "Autumn is the main source of decline". Moreover, as the sunlight becomes shorter, the temperature difference between day and night may reach more than 7 or 8 degrees. Therefore, for middle-aged and elderly people and children with allergies and asthma, they need to pay special attention to health care. You may want to add a thin coat when going out in the morning and evening to avoid allergic rhinitis or asthma.
Zhan Yashi, a physician at the Chinese and Western Medicine Department of the Affiliated Hospital of the National Medical University, said that in the traditional atmosphere, frost falls does not have the need to start to increase when the beginning of winter or the winter solstice, but she suggested that from now on to the beginning of winter, people might as well choose ingredients that have a drying effect, such as pig skin, jellyfish skin and chicken feet containing gelatin, as well as ingredients that will produce slippery mucus after being cooked after being boiled, such as mountain medicine, fungus, Sichuan Qi and sweet potato leaves, are all good drying products.
How to cook:In addition to dryness, Lin Daqing said that if you want to prepare for the cold winter, you might as well choose ingredients with energy and blood circulation at this moment, which can help people improve their immunity and resist winter diseases. He suggested that you might as well choose a nine-layer tower with red tendons or hibiscus head ribs or chicken, which is a good dish that has the effect of warming and promoting blood circulation, helping to clear the air and blood.
Lin Daxian explained that there are two types of nine-layer towers. The nine-layer tower commonly used for salted chicken in the square is a nine-layer tower with blue veins. It is used to increase the aroma of food. As for the nine-layer towers that are used to supplement the face, they are red tendons. People can go to the Qingcao Store to ask for purchase.
Lin Daqing and Zhan Yaguan both said that since Taiwan is hot in Asia, it is slightly different from the 24th day, which is mainly in the north of the mainland, it is still not suitable for hot ingredients such as human-segmented and sorale-enhancing, which is certain. They also suggested that since the air humidity is lower during this period, the dry and cold air in the north is gradually moving south, and people should drink more water to relieve their throats.
