【#24節氣 – 寒露】是日寒露
寒露季節，代表開始步入深秋，古書記載：「九月節，露氣寒冷，將凝結也。」代表氣溫漸降，使空氣凝結成露珠，而且開始百花凋零，令人感到到秋季蕭瑟肅殺之意。寒露時節的養生重點為「養陰防燥」，當氣候變冷，人體陽氣收歛，陰精潛藏於內，所以要注意保養體內之陰精，一旦受到燥邪之氣侵犯，就會出現咽乾、鼻燥、皮膚乾燥等症狀。
古人云：「秋之燥，宜食麻以潤燥。」深秋宜多吃芝麻、糯米、粳米、雪梨、蘋果、杮子、蜂蜜、百合、蓮藕等滋潤食物，適時補充水份，注意足部保暖，睡前泡腳可以加快入眠。
溫馨提示：
・飲用含黑芝麻的夕米水潤腸通便
・飲杯蜂蜜水潤肺養肺
・運動過後記得補充水份
・飲食清淡，辛辣食物會傷陰
・熬夜傷陰，養成早睡早起的習慣
