秋季養生 - 重滋陰 養精神

農曆立秋以後,暑夏的高溫已經降低,地氣開始內斂,人們的煩躁情緒隨之平靜,且立秋帶來宜人的天然景色,莫因這美景忽視了養生。夏季過多的損耗也應在此時補充,秋季是萬物收穫的季節,人體也應順應自然,那麼,應如何利用秋天時節調攝、養生保健呢?所謂「春夏養陽,秋冬養陰」,養生的原則是「收」及「養」,把人的元氣收納起來,以滋潤養陰為主,隨著秋天天氣乾燥陰冷,人體的水分更容易不自覺地流失,如保養不當,會引發心血管,消化系統等疾病。

意秋季易生燥,傷津液,飲食應滋陰養肺為主。另一方面,人體內的水分供養於秋季裡相對減少,若喝水不足,又過多進食燒烤、火鍋,或喝酒、吸煙等,會使體內燥熱增加,容易發病。因而,入秋後的飲食宜以防燥補肺為原則,建議可選用一些潤肺生津的蔬果食物,如

鳳梨 – 有潤肺止咳,清痰的作用
柿子 – 有清熱生津,潤肺化痰,澀腸止瀉的功效
百合 – 有安神鎮靜,潤肺止咳的功效
蓮藕 – 具清肺熱、止鼻血、解渴除煩的功效

秋季早晚氣溫溫差大,老年人既要注意保暖,又不能過早添加過多衣物,應儘量保持涼爽狀態,衣裝適宜,慎防著涼,讓身體得以鍛煉之同時,防病保健,以防止感冒和引發呼吸道等各種疾病。
