中医如何预防甲流？专家：内养正气、外慎邪气 中新网北京12月16日电 (记者 李纯)国家中医药管理局16日在北京举行发布会，主题为"中医药守护冬日 健康"。谈及中医如何预防甲型流感，中国中医科学院广安门医院急诊科主任医师齐文升表示，要从"养 慎"二字做起，即内养正气、外慎邪气。 齐文升表示，从中医的角度来看，甲流属于疫病中的"时行感冒"，主要有两方面原因：一是人体内部正 气的盛衰，即免疫的强弱；二是"疫戾之气"的强弱，即病毒的强弱。中医有个词叫"养慎"，就是内养正 气、外慎邪气，预防甲流也要从这两个字做起。 一方面，内养正气是根本。齐文升指出，中医认为"正气存内，邪不可干"，这也是中医预防的核心思 想。可以通过一些综合调养的方法来巩固自身的防御能力，比如通过饮食、起居、作息、情志调理，冬 天可以适当吃些温补清润的食材或药材。运动上要尽量轻微活动，避免大汗淋漓。睡眠上尽量早睡晚 起，根据各自条件保证充足的睡眠，避免受凉。 来源：中国新闻网 编辑：熊思怡 广告等商务合作，请点击这里 本文为转载内容，授权事宜请联系原著作权人 中新经纬版权所有，未经书面授权，任何单位及个人不得转载、摘编或以其它方式使用。 关注中新经 ...

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the health implications and dietary recommendations during the "Mangzhong" solar term, emphasizing the need for preventive measures against humidity-related health issues and the importance of maintaining overall well-being during the summer season [1][3]. Group 1: Health Implications - The "Mangzhong" period is characterized by high temperatures and humidity, which can lead to external dampness affecting the body, resulting in symptoms such as abdominal bloating, loss of appetite, and sticky stools [3]. - Internal heat and dampness can arise from excessive sweating or consuming cold foods, potentially causing skin issues like acne, eczema, and urinary tract infections [3]. - High temperatures can deplete body fluids, leading to symptoms of dryness, irritability, and even triggering hypertension and cardiovascular diseases [3]. Group 2: Dietary Recommendations - Dietary adjustments should focus on "strengthening the spleen and eliminating dampness," with an emphasis on consuming foods that are bitter and sour, such as bitter melon, lotus seeds, and hawthorn [3]. - It is advised to limit cold drinks and chilled fruits to prevent damage to the spleen's yang energy [3]. Group 3: Lifestyle Adjustments - It is recommended to sleep before 11 PM and take short naps during the day to align with seasonal changes [3]. - Post-exercise, individuals should change out of sweaty clothes promptly to avoid dampness retention [3]. - Bathing should be done with warm water instead of cold, and gentle exercises like Tai Chi should be preferred, with a focus on light sweating [3]. Group 4: Traditional Chinese Medicine Practices - External treatments such as moxibustion can help relieve symptoms like stomach coldness and promote the flow of qi [4]. - Cupping therapy can alleviate symptoms caused by excessive dampness and fatigue [4]. - Foot baths with herbs like patchouli and ginger can assist in mitigating discomfort caused by dampness affecting the spleen and stomach [4].
