Truth: Not everyone is suitable for freezing

So, is there a scientific basis for this approach?

  Xiong Rui, deputy director of the Clinical Nutrition Department of Qinghai Provincial People’s Hospital, said in an interview with a reporter from the Science and Technology Daily, “The folks have a saying that'spring cover autumn freezing'.'Autumn freezing' means that the temperature gradually turns cold in autumn. Don't go too early. Add more clothes. In early autumn, the heat has not faded. If you add too much clothes too early, once the temperature rises, you will sweat and wind, and you will easily catch a cold. As the temperature drops, the cold air can stimulate the human body appropriately, which can increase The body's ability to adapt to low temperatures." Xiong Rui said.

  Although "frozen" has some advantages, Xiong Rui reminds that "autumn frozen" also varies from person to person.

  "'Autumn freezing' is more suitable for young adults or people with better physical fitness, and those with poor physical fitness and basic diseases, as well as the elderly and children, should increase or decrease in time according to temperature changes. Clothes, don’t blindly pursue “autumn freezing”. It is especially important to note that it is not suitable to be naked in autumn to prevent catching a cold.” Xiong Rui said.

  "Autumn melon bad belly" hurts the stomach?

The truth: eating in moderation is fine

  There is a saying among folks that "autumn melons have bad belly". It is believed that when the weather turns cold in autumn, some melon foods will be colder, and eating them will affect the function of the human body's stomach.

So, is this really the case?

  "'Autumn melon bad belly' has a certain truth." Xiong Rui said that the high temperature in summer leads to poor appetite, and people may eat more cold foods such as melons and fruits, cold drinks, to achieve the purpose of preventing heatstroke and cooling down.

From the perspective of Chinese medicine, if you eat too much cold food, the spleen and stomach may be affected to a certain extent after a summer.

  How do germs get in while they are empty?

Xiong Rui said that if the fruit is damaged on the surface, it is most likely to be contaminated. Such fruit should be thrown away.

When the surface of the fruit is damaged, it means that microorganisms have penetrated into the pulp through the juice, which contains a large number of microorganisms and other harmful substances, but they cannot be recognized by the naked eye. Once eaten, it is easy to cause gastrointestinal diseases.

  "It is recommended that you eat melons and fruits raw in the autumn. They must choose good quality, and at the same time pay attention to hygiene, clean the melons and fruits before eating, and be careful of getting sick from the mouth." Xiong Rui reminded.

It is usually on the day of the beginning of autumn, people are used to eating stewed meat to make up for the "fat" lost in the summer, which is called "autumn fat".

  "The weather in summer is relatively hot, and people's appetite is generally affected. After the beginning of autumn, the weather turns cooler, and people's appetite begins to improve. I hope to eat more to supplement the summer consumption and prepare for the winter. But in fact, with With the improvement of the people's living standards and the increasingly rich material life, we don't need to deliberately "stick up autumn fat"." Xiong Rui explained.

  "Not everyone is suitable for'sticking autumn fat'. If you really want to'stick autumn fat', you should also'stick right fat', especially the elderly, otherwise it will be counterproductive." Song Li, deputy chief physician of the Department of Endocrinology, Yinchuan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine believes After the beginning of autumn, proper "paste autumn fat" tonic can improve the organ function of the human body, but it will vary from person to person.

For the elderly, children, people with strong stomach or obesity, and people with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, the intake of high protein and high fat must be appropriate, otherwise it is easy to "get angry" or cause indigestion.

  "It should be noted that the autumn tonic should be gradual and not rushed. Therefore, the Liqiu tonic should be based on'flat tonic', especially for the elderly and children with weak gastrointestinal function. Drinking light and easy to digest healthy porridge is more beneficial to your health. "Song Li suggested.

  Song Li said that people with weak spleen and stomach, high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, diabetes and hyperuricemia, and people who are originally obese are not suitable for "autumn fat".
