"Don't cut your nails too short"… Seasonal health tips

To maintain health during the seasonal change, several precautions are necessary.

It's important to pack a coat to prepare for the significant temperature difference between morning and evening. It's a good idea to pack a thin outer layer to prevent your body temperature from dropping too quickly. Second, to prevent itchiness due to dry weather, shower with lukewarm water and apply moisturizer afterward to prevent dryness.

 

Roughness around the nails is also common during the changing seasons. Cutting nails too short can lead to excessive dead skin cells and make them more susceptible to external irritants. Therefore, it's best to keep your nails at an appropriate length and apply hand cream evenly to the nails.

If cold symptoms persist or occur frequently, you may need to consider a weakened immune system. Frequent or prolonged cold-like symptoms, such as a low-grade fever, runny nose, or cough, may indicate a weakened immune system.

Frequent mouth sores or tongue canker sores can also be signs of a weakened immune system. A weakened immune system can lead to conditions like cellulitis or vaginitis, which are accompanied by skin erythema, so caution is advised.

 

To maintain immunity, it's important to avoid sudden changes in body temperature. Always wear a light outerwear and drink warm food or tea to raise your body temperature. Ginger, in particular, helps keep the body warm.

Getting enough sleep is also important for your immune system. It's recommended to get at least 7-8 hours of sleep.

You also have to pay attention to food.

The most representative autumn tonic food is chueotang.

Autumn is the season for loach, when the flesh is plump and delicious.

Loach is rich in protein, making it perfect for replenishing energy after a day spent exhausted by the midsummer heat. Unlike other animal-based foods, it also contains a high amount of vitamin A.

 

Vitamin A protects the skin, boosts bacterial resistance, and helps prevent night blindness. It's also good for bone health.

The mucin contained in loach is also a component that protects the gastrointestinal tract and aids digestion.

Squid, rich in taurine, is great for when you're feeling tired. While the taurine found in most nutritional supplements is synthetic, the taurine found in squid is naturally occurring.

 

Tomatoes are rich in vitamin C and lycopene, making them a great food to eat when you're feeling down in the fall.

Berries like black raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, and chokeberries are also healthy foods. Blueberries are effective for muscle pain, black raspberries for menopause, blackberries for hair loss, and chokeberries for anti-aging and eye fatigue.
