Drink more honey and eat less ginger in autumn

In autumn, the main climate feature is dryness. The air lacks moisture, and the human body also lacks moisture. In order to adapt to the dry characteristics of autumn, we must often "rehydrate" ourselves to alleviate the damage of the dry climate to our body. Drinking more water has become a necessary means for us to deal with "autumn dryness". However, drinking boiled water alone cannot completely resist the negative effects of autumn dryness. Because after the water enters the human body, it will soon evaporate or be excreted from the body. Ancient Chinese medical scientists provided us with the best dietary recipe for dealing with autumn dryness: "Salt water in the morning, honey soup in the evening". In other words, drinking boiled water is easy to lose water. If a little salt is added to boiled water, it will not be so easy to lose. This method is the same as our modern medicine to supplement patients with physiological saline. Drinking some salt water during the day and some honey water at night is not only a good way to replenish the body's water, but also a dietary recipe for autumn health and anti-aging. At the same time, it can also prevent constipation caused by autumn dryness, which is really killing three birds with one stone.

Honey is a precious gift from nature to us humans. It is rich in nutrients, with the main ingredients being glucose and fructose, both of which account for 70%. In addition, it also contains protein, amino acids, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin D, etc. Honey has the effects of strengthening the body, improving intelligence, increasing hemoglobin, and improving myocardium. Long-term use can prolong life. "Compendium of Materia Medica" says: "Honey has five functions: clearing away heat, replenishing the middle, detoxifying, moisturizing, and relieving pain." Modern medicine has also proven that honey is effective for neurasthenia, hypertension, coronary artery sclerosis, lung disease, etc. Taking honey regularly in autumn is not only beneficial to the recovery of these diseases, but also can prevent the damage of autumn dryness to the human body, and play a role in moisturizing and nourishing the lungs.

During the dry autumn season, on the one hand, you should drink more light salt water and honey water, and on the other hand, do not eat or eat less spicy barbecue foods, including peppers, peppers, cinnamon, ginger, onions, etc., especially ginger. These foods are hot in nature, and they lose a lot of water during cooking. They are easy to get angry after eating, which aggravates the harm of autumn dryness to our body. Of course, using a small amount of onion, ginger, and pepper as condiments is not a big problem, but don't eat them often or eat too much. For example, ginger contains volatile oils, which can accelerate blood circulation. It also contains gingerol, which can stimulate gastric juice secretion, excite the intestines, and promote digestion. Ginger also contains gingerol, which can reduce the occurrence of gallstones; so it has both advantages and disadvantages. Ginger can be eaten, but don't eat too much, especially in autumn, because it is best not to eat it.

The dry climate in autumn can damage the lungs, exacerbating the loss of body water and dryness. Ancient medical books also have such a "warning": "Do not eat ginger in autumn." It seems that not eating or eating less ginger and other spicy foods in autumn has long attracted the attention of ancient people, which is reasonable.

In order to protect our own bodies from the harm of autumn dryness, when autumn comes, we'd better drink light salt water in the morning, honey water in the evening, and refuse to eat ginger, so as to safely get through the "eventful autumn".
