飲食上的“三要”和“兩不”
Do eat moist food. According to traditional Chinese medicine, autumn corresponds to the lungs of the human body. The lungs are especially vulnerable to the influence of dryness.
吃潤肺食物。中醫說，秋天人體的肺氣最旺，干燥最傷肺。
The most convenient and easy way to nourish lungs in autumn is to drink more water. In addition, you can adopt the diet therapy of traditional Chinese medicine, eating some food with moisture, like pear, yam, sugar cane and duck meat.
秋天養肺最簡便的方法就是多喝水。你也可以按中醫飲食療法吃一些潤肺食物，比如梨、山藥、甘蔗和鴨肉。

Do have digestible food. People's spleen and stomach functions are weakened because of the raw and cold food they had during the long, hot summer.
吃容易消化的食物。因為在漫長的炎夏吃了太多生冷食物，人的脾胃功能變弱了。
So in autumn, you should give your spleen and stomach a rest. For example, you can choose some nutritious food that is easy to digest, such as fish, red bean, lotus root and kelp.
所以在秋季應該讓你的脾胃休養一下。比如，你可以吃一些容易消化的有營養的食物，比如魚、紅豆、蓮藕和海藻。

Do take vitamin supplements. Vitamins play an important role in the body's immune system. The number and vitality of immune cells are related to vitamins when the body resists foreign invasion. It is recommended that you eat plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits rich in vitamin C, such as kiwi and oranges.
補充維生素。維生素在人體的免疫系統中扮演重要的角色。人體在抵抗外界疾病入侵時，維生素能保持免疫細胞的數量和活力。建議你吃大量富含維生素C的新鮮蔬菜水果，比如獼猴桃和橘子。

不要吃刺激性食物。在秋天，人體抵抗力大大降低，因此人們應該少吃刺激性食物，比如辛辣生冷食物，此類食物會引發胃潰瘍和腸炎。

Don't take too many health tonics. Some people choose to take tonics to improve their immune system in autumn. But that can be too much burden for human body.
不要吃太多補品。有些人選擇吃補品來增強免疫力。但吃太多補品對人體來說是負擔。
秋季養陰要早睡

Sleep is important for people to restore their physical strength, ensure their health and enhance their immunity. The autumn weather is cool and suitable for a good night's sleep.
睡眠是人們恢復體力，保障健康，提高免疫力的重要方式。秋季天氣涼爽，有助于人們安眠。
Therefore, in autumn, it is suggested that you go to bed at 9 pm, or try to fall asleep before 11 o'clock. According to traditional Chinese medicine, autumn represents yin. Yang Qi, the Yang spirit, is deficient and Yin Qi, the Yin spirit, is the most abundant at Zishi (11 pm – 1 am). So if you sleep at that time, you can nourish yin while having a sound sleep.
因此，在秋季，建議晚上9點睡覺，或在11點前入睡。按中醫的說法，秋季屬陰。人在子時（晚上11點到凌晨1點）陽氣最弱，陰氣最足。所以如果你在這個時間段睡覺可以養陰，并擁有優質睡眠。
People are usually recommended to sleep at least 8 hours every day, and those who are physically weak and sick should appropriately increase sleep time.
我們通常建議每個人每天睡8個小時，體弱者和病人應該適當增加睡眠時間。
高強度和低強度鍛煉相結合

To stay energetic throughout the day in autumn, it is an ideal way to do two or three high-intensity exercises a week, with low-intensity fitness workouts, such as yoga, walking or weight-bearing training, in between. Even if you are not tired, you will feel relaxed if you have a few limb stretches.
秋天到了，為了保證一整天都精力充沛，最好每周做兩到三次高強度運動，佐以幾次低強度的健身鍛煉，比如瑜伽、走步或承重訓練。就算你不累，隨意伸展一下四肢也會讓你感覺放松一些。
