From the perspective of health preservation, autumn is suitable for nourishing lungs and storing up autumn fat.
At the beginning of autumn, it is still relatively hot and stuffy. It is best for mothers to prepare several cool foods for their babies, but avoid letting them eat too much cold food such as watermelons and cucumbers, let alone covering the baby hot, and try to wear loose and breathable clothes for them.
It should be noted that autumn is the season where influenza viruses occur, and babies with weak resistance may be attacked by the virus or have diarrhea, so mothers should do a comprehensive job in caring for their babies.
Let's take a look together at what you need to be aware of during the Autumn Equinox.
What to be mindful of during the start of Autumn: The first sign is the cool breeze, the second is the white dew, and the third is the cicadas' chirping. After enduring the hot winds of summer for a long time, it's great to finally feel the refreshing air.
It's worth celebrating that, aside from the weather gradually cooling down, it's also time for everyone to gather together and indulge in some autumnal feasting.
However, at the beginning of the early Autumn, the weather is not much different from that of the summer, and dietary habits still focus on clearing heat and relieving summer heat. Those living in higher floors also need to turn on air conditioning for cooling.
Let's take a look at how to smoothly transition from the hot days of the sweltering summer into the cooler days of the early autumn.
1. Pay attention to the cold autumn.
After the White Dew, the weather will gradually cool down. At this time, don't wear too cold clothes or you might catch a chill.
2. Be cautious about consuming cold fruits.
Don't eat all kinds of watermelons and melons after the beginning of autumn, otherwise it will aggravate the cold in your body.
3. Don't make up too much.
The beginning of autumn is a good day to put on autumn fat and replenish.
But you can't overdo it. You should still focus on nourishing yin and moistening dryness. You can eat some fish, coix seed, spinach, white fungus, bird's nest and other foods.
4. Don't overexert yourself.
Appropriate exercise can enhance the body's ability to adapt to cold climates, but don't overdo it. You can stop exercising when your body is slightly hot and you don't sweat.
Dry it promptly after sweating.
5. Be careful of obesity.
You can supplement nutrients appropriately at the beginning of autumn, but you can't overeat and don't eat too much greasy fried food, otherwise it may lead to weight gain.
How long will it take for the beginning of autumn to be hot? August 8, 2015, the beginning of autumn, but the weather is still hot, and there is no sign that the weather is getting cooler. I still hide at home every day and incubate the air conditioner. I don't dare to play happily outside in the hot sun to prevent heatstroke.
How long will it be hot after the beginning of autumn? The beginning of autumn, but the hot weather is still unwilling to leave, which is quite sad.
In fact, although the solar term reaches the beginning of autumn, it does not mean that autumn has entered.
Meteorology stipulates that autumn is considered to have entered when the average daily temperature is below 22℃ for five consecutive years.
However, many areas are still shrouded in summer heat, and summer is still "alive" and lingering.
According to experience, the hot weather after the beginning of autumn generally lasts until October, so friends should continue to eat some popsicles and hide indoors to escape the heat.
How to maintain health after the beginning of autumn? As mentioned above, although the beginning of autumn has arrived, the weather is still quite warm. Dietary needs should include some cool foods such as mung bean soup, lotus seed porridge, lily porridge or mint porridge.
Parents can provide their baby with fresh vegetables and fruits to replenish the potassium lost through perspiration.
1. Starting in late Autumn, it's advisable to consume foods that nourish the lungs and promote fluid production. You can enjoy soups, juices, and soy milk or cow's milk, as well as some nourishing foods for the lungs.
2. Consume some sour foods to enhance liver function. Avoid spicy foods, but include sour fruits and vegetables such as oranges, lemons, kiwis, and tomatoes.
3. Engage in more physical activity, as autumn is an ideal season for outdoor activities and plenty of sun exposure.
After the beginning of autumn, you can go to the outdoors for exercise before 10 a.m., do fitness exercises, ball games or climbing.
4. Adopt a regular sleep-wake schedule to prevent air conditioning illness. Early rising allows the lungs to expand, and also reduces the risk of cerebral thrombosis.
Try not to sleep too late at night, especially young people. It's reasonable to go to bed between 9 and 10 pm.
In the transition from summer to autumn, it's advisable to consume more foods that nourish the lungs and moisturize the body. For example, you can try making a sweet and hydrating lily and white fungus porridge or preparing a nourishing and rehydrating shredded duck stew with yams.

Children aged from 6 months to 3 years are most susceptible to this virus.
