1) Air circulation

It is best to open the windows for ventilation three times in the morning, noon and evening, each time for 15 minutes. This not only keeps the indoor air fresh, but also inhibits the growth of bacteria. Be sure to close the windows when you go to bed at night. The temperature is low at night and the cold wind can easily cause attacks of diseases such as asthma.

2) Exercise moderately

As the weather gets cooler and people feel more comfortable, more people start exercising. Mountain climbing, walking, and Tai Chi are all cold-resistant exercises that can improve the body's immunity.

3) Keep a regular schedule

Many people go to bed late and have irregular schedules in the summer. If this continues into the autumn, it can easily lead to a decrease in resistance. Therefore, during the transition period between seasons, we must maintain a regular schedule and life rhythm, go to bed early, extend sleep time appropriately, and drink plenty of water.

4) Balanced nutrition

When the weather turns cooler, people's appetite will increase greatly. In the dry season, it is good to eat more sour foods that nourish yin, moisten the lungs, such as white fungus, pears, lotus roots, grapes, apples, etc. Eat less spicy food and "put on weight in autumn" appropriately.
