Today (9/7) The "white dew" that is suitable for the 24th day of the Agricultural Calendar is a typical autumn weather. Even though it still feels hot during the day, it turns after night. Chinese doctors remind that dry autumn can easily damage the lungs, dry lips, dry nose, and dry skin, so you may eat more foods with dry lungs. At this time, you should pay attention to keeping warm.

The common saying "White dew is cold for a night," because the weather turns, and the water condenses into dew at night, which is heavier and heavier every day. Yang Suqing, a middle-aged doctor in the Central Hospital of Taipei City United Hospital, said that because of the dew, grapefruit will be sweeter after being over white dew.

The weather turns dry in autumn. Chinese doctors remind that we should be especially careful of dryness and evil injuring people at this time. Yang Suqing said that dry autumn consumes body fluids, making it easy to feel dry lips and nose cavity, stools are easy to get dry, and the skin begins to become dry and cracked. Some people talk a little more, so they start to "cool cough". You can eat more lily seed soup to relieve lungs and relieve dryness, relieve cough and eliminate phlegm.

Because dry evil affects the lungs, Zhang Jiabei, a doctor in the Jianshizhong Medical Clinic, reminds that special attention should be paid to lung, nasal and upper respiratory tract diseases, especially allergic rhinitis, chronic bronchitis, etc.

If you want to nourish the lungs, Zhang Jiabei suggests that you can eat Chinese medicine such as Western glutinous rice, almonds, and Sichuan glutinous rice to relieve autumn dryness. Mountain medicine can help nourish the lungs and strengthen the spleen and stomach. Apricots (i.e. ginkgo) enters the lungs, which can relieve cough and relieve asthma, and can be put into vegetables to make apricot chicken.

Although you can feel the slightness after night, the sun is still hot during the day. Yang Suqing said that it is best to avoid sweating a lot to avoid damage to the sun and feel dry mouth. Not only that, because in summer, many people like to eat ice to relieve heat, which will damage the sun in the stomach, and the heat will also affect sleep. In autumn, the appropriateness will increase, and you can replenish energy for winter.

In addition, according to Chinese medicine, Bailu is also the most suitable time for children who enter puberty to take bone reincarnation prescriptions and adjust their body quality. The Chinese doctor explained that it is mainly because the summer is too hot, and the traditional bone reinforcing medicine is dry and prone to dry mouth and tongue. It is easy to nourish the body in autumn, which is just right for winter, but it depends on the quality of the child. If you have sufficient gas and blood, you will have enough sleep, nutrition and exercise. You don’t know that you have to take the bone reinforcing prescription.
