🌿 Folk Prescriptions

As the weather turns cooler after autumn, many people feel listless, mentally exhausted, and physically lethargic, lacking motivation for daily tasks. Local health experts remind us: the recent prolonged hot, humid, and low-pressure conditions have overtaxed the body's energy reserves. If not properly adjusted now, it is easy to develop "emotional fatigue."
Health Tip: The Key to Autumn Wellness Lies in Skillfulness
[Case] Li Gang still maintains his summer habit of staying up late, making mornings extremely difficult. He feels dull at work and lacks energy. Looking around, many colleagues appear similarly sluggish and tired.
[Experts Point Out]: During the summer heat, people remain in a state of heightened excitement, some even experiencing irritability, anger, and other symptoms of "emotional heatstroke." With seasonal changes, the body's physiological functions shift, requiring emotional adjustment from an excited state. This transition often consumes additional energy, leading to fatigue and drowsiness, affecting normal life and work.
To overcome post-autumn "emotional fatigue," experts recommend:
1. Ensure adequate sleep.
Abandon the summer habit of staying up late; aim to go to bed before 10 p.m. Maintain early bedtime and early rising to enter a "prepared" state in advance, preventing drowsiness at work. Additionally, short naps during the day can help relieve drowsiness.
2. Prefer light, simple diets.
Fatty foods produce acid substances in the body that induce drowsiness. Therefore, consume them sparingly. Eating more fruits and drinking plenty of water helps refresh the mind.
3. Pay attention to regular exercise.
Only with sufficient physical energy can the body smoothly transition through seasonal changes without symptoms.
4. Keep indoor plants.
Autumn drowsiness is partly related to insufficient oxygen. Placing green plants such as spider plants, rubber trees, and bamboo palms indoors can improve air quality and increase oxygen levels.
