As the saying goes: "At White Dew, keep your body covered; at Cold Dew, keep your feet covered." This proverb reminds us: After the White Dew solar term, avoid going bare-chested; after Cold Dew, prioritize keeping your feet warm. During the transition between autumn and winter, adapting your clothing, diet, housing, and daily routines to the changing climate is crucial for maintaining good health.Below, we detail key considerations for clothing, diet, housing, and daily activities during the Cold Dew period.
Clothing
As autumn brings alternating cool and warm spells with gradually dropping temperatures, avoid frequent exposure to prevent cold air from entering the body. "Keep your body covered during White Dew and your feet covered during Cold Dew" is excellent health advice. "Each autumn rain brings a chill"—we should gradually add layers as temperatures drop, but avoid overdressing too quickly.As the saying goes, "Bundle up in spring, endure the chill in autumn." Moderate exposure to autumn's coolness helps strengthen the skin and nasal mucosa's resistance to cold, preparing you for winter. Dress warmly during the cooler mornings and evenings. Additionally, autumn is a peak season for diarrhea, so pay special attention to keeping your abdomen warm.
Food
Autumn often brings heightened nervous excitement and increased appetite, so guard against overeating.Reduce intake of spicy and raw/cold foods. Increase consumption of sour foods, warm beverages, and soft, warm dishes. Avoid moldy or unclean foods to prevent intestinal infections. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, dry weather may cause "autumn dryness" symptoms like thirst, dry throat, chapped lips, and rough skin. Eat more fruits and drink plenty of boiled water, mung bean soup, soy milk, or milk to meet bodily needs and boost resistance to dryness-related ailments.
In late autumn, the body's vital energy begins to store away. Elderly or frail individuals may select tonics based on their specific needs.
Living
Autumn calls for early bedtimes and rising, ensuring adequate sleep. Balance work and rest to prevent kidney damage from overwork. In early autumn, avoid prolonged fan use during hot days; in late autumn, guard against chills while regularly ventilating rooms to maintain fresh air.Where feasible, plant green foliage and flowers around living spaces to infuse vitality, purify air, and promote wellness. Activities Though lacking spring's vibrant radiance, autumn's crisp skies and golden landscapes offer unique charm. Engage in moderate exercise at parks, lakesides, or countryside to strengthen physique.Autumn outings are an excellent activity, both refreshing the spirit and strengthening the body. That concludes our tips for clothing, diet, housing, and travel during the Cold Dew period. We hope this information proves helpful. Wishing you good health and smooth sailing this winter. While the saying goes "full breasts and plump hips," a large behind may be a symbol of femininity, but disproportionately large hips can be unflattering. Not only do they distort the figure, but they also make the entire person appear clumsy and lacking in grace.
